The Secretary of State to the American Representative on the Advisory Council for Italy ( Kirk )

444. Department somewhat concerned over statement made by Jackson (Caserta No. 1515, November 27—UNRRA from Jackson No. 9532a) that continuance of use of Swedish ships is not related to continuing [Page 212] operations of Swedish-Swiss Commission. As stated in our No. 33 to Athens33 the question of Swedish ships is now under discussion with Swedish Government and it appears that continuance of Swedish-Swiss Commission at least in & nominal capacity may be necessary in order to assure continued use of the ships. You will be advised of any further developments.

Repeated to Athens.
