[Received October 5, 11.33 p.m.]

5036. Department’s 2758, September 20, 6 p.m. Swiss Government shows great interest and desires to cooperate and has asked German Government for all guarantees outlined. Difficulty is, however, foreseen as to destruction of tin containers. Please inform me whether it is not practicable to ship the milk in paper containers such as I understand are prescribed by New Jersey law.
