WASHINGTON, March 22.—(AP)—Ready to make a formal diplomatic protest, if necessary, the American government sought to learn officially if Jews in Germany are being mistreated by the new Hitler government.

On the heels of a protest from prominent American Jews, headed by Rabbi Stephen S. Wise, the state department immediately informed Ambassador Sackett at Berlin of the concern felt here on the basis of press reports, and asked him to check officially on their accuracy.

Several days ago the United States found it necessary to protest to the Hitler government against the mistreatment of several Americans in Germany.
