NAMED ENVOY BY F. D. would retire. SOUGHT BUND PROBE Dr. William Ecward Dodd, born in Clayton, N.

in 1869, was chosen by President Roosevelt in 1933 to fill the difficult post of Ambassador to Germany. Neither a politician nor 8 diplomat, but a scholar and one of the world's foremost authorities on the history of the South, he was a brilliant exponent of Jeffersonian democracy. At the time of his appointment on June 10, 1933, he was professor of American history at the University of Chicago, but when the opportunity came to serve his country, he accepted, expecting to be able to further the ideal of Woodrow Wilson between the Third Reich and the United States. He sailed for Berlin with high hopes of the future relations between the two countries. But after the first cordial welcome by the late President Paul von Hindenburg, his diplomatic career in Germany was one long protest to the Nazi Government against the harshness of its regime and its racial doctrines.

In 1934 he was directed to make strong representations to the German Government against discriminatory treatment of American holders of Dawes and Young plan bonds. HIT PRESS ATTACKS In 1937, Dr. Dodd protested in Berlin against German press attacks on Mayor LaGuardia, the United States and American women. Toward the end of his term, he must have come to the conclusion that neither diplomatic skill, goodwill nor learning were of any avail in bridging the widening gulf between the totalitarian principles and the democratic ideals as he understood them. His speeches grew increasingly bitter and he spoke against of propaganda, calling it "one of the errors of our time." In Bremen in 1934 Dr.

Dodd called for a return to Christian ideals and said, neighborly love can save the world now." In 1937 he strongly advised against the State Department's decision to permit the late Prentiss Gilbert to represent the United States as Chancellor Hitler's guest Nazi party congress in Nuremberg. Toward the end of 1937 Dr. Dodd hinted that he had had troubles in Berlin and that he When he left Germany on Dec. 28, 1937, 20 days after his resignation became known in Washington, he left behind him, press dispatches reported, "a cold silence on the part of Germany." Once back in the United States, the man who was an authority on Thomas Jefferson, and who edited, with Ray Stannard Baker, the "Public Papers of Woodrow bitterly attacked the Nazi Government in speeches throughout the country. Some of these were protested by Dr.

Hans Diekhoff to the State Department, but the German Ambassador in Washington received the reply that the right of free speech was still guaranteed to American citizens. Later Dr. Dodd was active in exposing Nazi propaganda in the United States and sought in August, 1939, to bring about an investigation of the German-American Bund. Martin J. Moran, Ex- City Employe Special to the Brooklyn Eagle Moran Valley of 140 Stream, E.
