摘要：Customarily the printing of an anonymous letter deserves little consideration in professional circles. However, the publication in the Buchhandlergilde- Blatt for February 12, 1933, of a confidential letter sent to American librarians by the committee mentioned below, accompanied by critical comments from an unnamed American state institution, requires attention on account of the international relations involved. The publication of the confidential letter was requested by the transmitter and was submitted with a statement of the serious consequences which the American procedure must surely have on the German bpok trade. The transmitter draws from the required privacy of the plan inferences not flattering to the parties concerned.
