File No. 763.72112/2923
The Chargé in Great Britain (Laughlin) to the Secretary of State
[Received September 5, 8.15 a. m.]
4828. Your 3728 [3727], August 23, 6 [4] p. m. To-day Foreign Office replies that it regrets that it does not see its way to extend any further facilities for shipment of tobacco to Holland beyond those for which arrangements have already been made as requested in note communicated in my 4755, August 22, 6 p. m. Draws attention to fact that date of purchase is August 4, not August 1.
Points out that for several weeks past all tobacco from United Kingdom for Holland has been required to be consigned Netherlands Oversea Trust; other neutral countries are subject to same requirements as those from United States.
