Memorandum by Mr. Hugh S. dimming, Jr., of the Division of European Affairs
Mr. Blechingberg telephoned me this morning and said that he had at last received instructions from the Foreign Office in Copenhagen to leave the United States as soon as possible and to take Mr. Möller and Mr. Tscherning with him. After consulting Mr. Atherton27 I telephoned Mr. Blechingberg and asked him to call on me at the State Department this afternoon.
Mr. Blechingberg read me a telegram which he had received from the Foreign Office. In substance it said that in view of existing circumstances the Foreign Office desired him and the two former Danish consular officers to leave the United States as quickly as possible and directed him to inform the Foreign Office of the route chosen by him and the pertinent dates.
