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

4940. Kauffmann has just sent a message to Doessing and Foss suggesting that statement regarding Doessing’s appointment as Danish Observer to Moscow be reworded so as to prevent German propaganda from claiming that the Freedom Council is primarily sponsored by the Soviets. In view of this circumstance and the fact that the original text has already been transmitted to Moscow, we no longer consider it necessary to instruct our Legation at Stockholm along the lines suggested in our 4850, June 19, 9 p.m. Please inform the Foreign Office.
