The Hague, August 30, 1939—3 p.m.
[Received August 30—11:08 a.m.]

143. Personal for the Under Secretary. Will you please give me some information concerning suggestions with respect to eventual arrangements for free entry of goods into Rotterdam and Antwerp which I understand the President made in conversations he had yesterday with the Dutch Minister and the Belgian Ambassador?

Gordon
