File No. 763.72114/3991
The Special Agent in Corfu ( Dodge) to the Secretary of State
[Received September 9, 3.10 a.m.]
Acting Minister for Foreign Affairs requests me to inform you Dutch Minister, Sofia, is unable to obtain authorization Bulgarian [Page 619] Government to distribute relief supplies to be sent Servian prisoners and interned. Inquires whether the Government of the United States is willing to instruct American representative at Sofia to receive and distribute supplies, believing he could readily obtain authorization Bulgarian Government and that, as sending supplies to Bulgaria is a new matter and all are purchased with American funds, this will not be considered discourteous by Dutch Government. The last reports state Servian prisoners greatly in need of supplies.
Leaving for Nice 9th. Your cipher telegram there is being repeated.
