Representative Ford. In other words, you would have put him off, or stalled him off, in this first interview, make him come back again?
Mr. Snyder. Yes; I would have.

Mr. Snyder. Particularly, since he was a minor. Normally, it would have been, I think, my practice to do this in any event, though. Obviously no two cases are alike, and the consul must decide. But particularly in the case of a minor, I could not imagine myself writing out the renunciation form and having him sign it, on the spot, without making him leave my office and come back at some other time, even if it is only a few hours intervening.
Representative Ford. In one of the despatches I believe you sent to Washington, you indicated that you had informed the press—I don't recall what exhibit that is.

Mr. Coleman. Commission Exhibit No. 910, sir.
Representative Ford. You say, "Press informed." Is that the same as informing the press?
Mr. Snyder. No; this simply——
