The Secretary of State to the Chargé in Sweden ( Whitehouse)
1244. Referring to the note which you presented to the Swedish Government asking for various statements relative to exports of Sweden to Germany, believed to be in contravention of recently concluded agreement, you are instructed to inform the Minister of Foreign Affairs that the Government of the United States views with serious concern the very great delay which is occurring in furnishing the information requested by the Government of the United States in reference to this important matter. The Department is informed that instructions similar to the foregoing will probably be received by your British, French, and Italian colleagues.
