No. 675. The Swedish agreement was signed this afternoon subject to ratification which Swedish delegates state is only matter of form as their Government has not [now?] seen full text. Will cable you a summary of some of the important changes in the draft agreement which was sent you on May 21, as well as summary of covering letters exchanged. Do not publish contents until further advised but no harm in announcing that agreement has been signed. Please notify Shipping Board.
