740.0011 European War 1939/2173: Telegram
The Chargé in Estonia (Leonard) to the Secretary of State
[Received April 13—3:15 p.m.]
49. In informal conversations today at the Foreign Office high officials have expressed to me the opinion that the Soviet Government’s policy toward the Baltic States and Finland will not change as a result of the German invasion of Denmark and Norway and that the Soviets will not interfere in any way unless possibly if Sweden becomes involved.
The neutrality law of Estonia applies to the present situation in Norway and Denmark and no special proclamation of neutrality is required.
The Danish Chargé d’Affaires has informed me that in his opinion and that of the Estonian Minister for Foreign Affairs his Legation’s status locally has not changed.
