It was reported today that the United States Government will return Ambassador Hugh R. Wilson to Berlin if Chancellor Adolf Hitler’s reply to President Roosevelt’s message asking non-aggression pledges to 31 countries is conciliatory.
Representative Sol Bloom (Dem., N. Y.), acting chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee, favors Ambassador Wilson’s return if the State Department approves. “We should,” Mr. Bloom said, “go half way.” The Ambassador was recalled for “report and consultation” as a protest against the anti-Jewish pogrom of November 10, 1938. He left Berlin on Nov. 16.
