103.9169 Stockholm: Telegram
The Secretary of State to the Minister in Sweden (Johnson)
591. Your 922 of March 17. Department and FEA note from your reference telegram that you presented the aide-mémoire on March 17 with the request that a reply be given within 10 days or 2 weeks. We urge that you press the Swedes for an immediate reply if one has not already been received by you. We are most anxious that the Swedes should not have another opportunity to use the delaying tactics which they so successfully employed in connection with our previous protests [Page 489] of December 1 and January 22. This telegram is being repeated to London so that your British colleague will receive parallel instructions.
Sent to Stockholm, repeated to London as Department’s No. 2664.
