My 2725, September 14. British authorities now state no objection will be raised to fresh apple shipments to Norway, Sweden, and Denmark against usual guarantees of non-exportation in importing country and “provided figures of total imports for corresponding pre-war period of each Scandinavian country for home consumption are not exceeded. Any shipments of apples to Denmark which may be bona fide reexported to Russia will not be calculated against Danish imports for home consumption.”
