More Of An Incident Now Than Originally

German Attitude Regarded As Provocative

NOTE TO

IRAN

It is learned in London! that the reply of the Iran- ian Government to the latest British Note is ex- pected at any moment.

"If German propaganda is deliberately trying to strengthen President Roosevelt's position,' it adds, "they could not have done better than by directly appealing to those who oppose his foreign policy, for if the Isolation-the British Government is under- ists wish to make argument of the "Greer" in- cident they must now take their cue from Berlin."
