Memorandum of Conversation, by the Under Secretary of State (Grew)

In the course of the call of the Norwegian Ambassador on me today when he expressed appreciation of the decision to permit the shipment from Sweden to Norway of various foodstuffs and other relief supplies, I took occasion to express to Mr. Morgenstierne the hope that necessary instructions would be issued to the Norwegian home front to intensify their efforts to prevent any of the relief supplies from falling into German hands. The Ambassador said that such instructions had already been issued.
