The Chargé in Sweden (Crocker) to the Secretary of State
[Received December 6—12:30 p.m.]
41. Your circular December 5, 4 p.m.81 I am informed by the Undersecretary of State for Foreign Affairs that the Swedish Government cordially approves and is sympathetically interested in the action of the American Government in calling the attention of China and Russia to their obligations under the pact. Sweden is inclined to take similar action provided there is indication that a considerable number of the other smaller powers will also act. The Swedish Government have already taken steps to ascertain the views of certain other countries in the matter. The reported disinclination of Germany and Japan to act is discounted here as both those countries are considered to have special interests.
