2122. My 1998, April 27, and 2029, May 4, re Joseph W. Fordney .1 Replying to my representations Foreign Office informs me:
Apart from the uncertainty of the address of the consignee of the cargo of this vessel, Mr. E. Klingener, His Majesty’s Government have evidence that the cargo was not destined for bona-fide Swedish consumption, but was intended for Germany, and that the proper course of the consignees is to make application to the prize court.
