7901. Following for Jones, War Trade Board, from Taylor:
Norway proposition all right but no metals except aluminium carbide and ferro-silicon to go to enemy. Danish proposals all right but the exportable butter and pork will be too small to hold up agreement on. We have made up a new Dutch ration, also a Swedish ration. Accepted that we are to have half of their available tonnage. Agreeable to suggest[ed] voyage of boats in our harbors.
