5699. Your 4432, February 13 [12]. Foreign Office reply is as follows:
It is prepared to grant permits for export of German needles specified in exhibits one to five. “In order, however, to enable me to give the necessary instructions for the issue of the permit, I have the honour to enquire whether I could be supplied with a list setting forth clearly the exact quantity and the value of smooth needles for which a permit is desired. It has proved difficult to ascertain from the exhibits whether all smooth needles shown therein are now awaiting shipment.”
Exhibits are being returned to Department by next bag.
