The Secretary of State to the Minister in Norway (Harriman)
34. The questions involved in the maintenance and control of Norwegian trade with the belligerents are, of course, of great interest to us and we are anxious to be kept fully and promptly informed in detail of all developments resulting from British or German proposals to Norway in this connection. We believe that if you approach the appropriate Norwegian authorities for detailed information they may probably gladly keep you currently informed. The Norwegian Government can be assured that any information which it may be willing to impart to you will be held by us in the strictest confidence.
