The Secretary of State to the Ambassador in the United Kingdom (Kennedy)
Washington, May
20, 1940—10 p.m.
915. Department’s 894, May 18, 2 p.m. The International Rubber Regulation Committee may find it possible to release some third-quarter rubber immediately so that stocks now held in reserve on estates might be available for June shipment. The Embassy understands of course the desire here to increase shipments of rubber as rapidly as possible and will know how to proceed in this matter and whether it is desirable to press the suggestion.
