The Secretary of State to the Minister in Norway (Harriman)

49. We understand that early in September instructions were issued to all Norwegian vessels in European waters to proceed immediately to Norwegian or safe neutral ports and await orders.

Please telegraph present status and terms of these instructions and whether any instructions have been issued which would affect the movement of Norwegian vessels operating between the United States or other neutral ports and belligerent ports not in European waters.
