The Secretary of State to the Ambassador in the United Kingdom ( Kennedy )

632. For Wayne Taylor17 from American Red Cross:

“As we urgently require permission to continue our shipments of medical supplies and clothing to meet the desperate needs in Poland suggest you endeavor secure extension present arrangement with blockade authorities without awaiting decision as to foodstuffs. Quantities our supplies, including innumerable articles of clothing produced by volunteers throughout country, are now awaiting shipment and further delays would result in great embarrassment. Gratified to know that Johnson and you are proceeding through foreign office. Davis 393”
