According to information given the German-American Chamber of Commerce in New York the Department of Commerce at Washington is considering representations made against the current boycott of German goods.
Both the German-American Conference and Staats-Herold Corporation are seeking full information on the effects of the boycott and the measures being adopted to enforce it, for submission to the Department of Commerce.
In a letter directed to the Chamber by John Dickinson, of the Department of Commerce, the official declared in part, “Please accept our thanks for your letter of October 19, in which you graciously included the resolutions adopted by your executive committee regarding your attitude toward the boycott of German goods and German services.”
Mr. Dickinson wrote that the reports regarding the boycott’s effects on commercial traffic between the United States and Germany were well worth knowing, and asked for other explanations of the disturbance of trade.
An investigation into the boycott reports was promised.
The New Yorker Staats-Zeitung issued an appeal for additional information regarding the boycott.
