Our 25. For Hoover from Taylor:
Swiss not to receive wheat from you. Other neutrals the same. Marked reduction in cereal rations are to be introduced by Allies. They need from market [North America] during December, January and February [1,]100,000 tons of mixed cereals per month, then they draw from Argentina and India. Argentine wheat must be secured.
