The Secretary of State to the Ambassador in the United Kingdom (Winant)
2097. Your 2397 and 2398, May 5, and 2532, May 9, midnight. Action taken is approved. If memorandum was not left with Norwegians and Dutch but is to be given to them subsequently we suggest that second sentence of last paragraph be changed to read “they express the hope however that the Allied Governments will suspend their activities for the time being until a program has been formulated for the consideration of the United Nations.”19
We recognize urgency of immediate action regarding problems mentioned in your 2397 and will send reply as soon as possible.
- The Ambassador reported in telegram No. 2670, May 15, that the joint memorandum had been handed that day to the Norwegians and Dutch, with the text changed as suggested by the Department (840.50/451).↩
