7. Following statement received from Foreign Office:

• On the invitation of His Majesty the King of Sweden a meeting will take place at Malmö the 18th of December next between the Kings of Sweden, Denmark, and Norway. The Kings will be accompanied by their Ministers of Foreign Affairs. This interview bears testimony to the good relations existing among these three northern Kingdoms and of the perfect accord among them as far as concerns the neutral attitude that they have hitherto maintained. The interview has in particular in view the opportunity of deliberating about the means which may be employed to ameliorate and lessen the economic difficulties which the state of war has caused in these three countries.
