Joseph P. Kennedy, former U.S. Ambassador to Britain, today ridiculed a report made in 1938 by German Ambassador to London, Dr. Herbert von Dirksen and made public during the week-end by the State Department, in which the American envoy was quoted as expressing anti-Jewish views. Reached by the Jewish Telegraphic Agency in Hyannis Port, Mass., Mr. Kennedy said: “Evidently von Dirksen told the German Foreign Ministry what he thought they would like to hear about me. So far as I am concerned, it is all poppycock.”
