[Telegram]
Washington,
September 20, 1917, 3 p.m.
5454. Just informed by Swedish Chargé, Lundbohm, special Swedish delegate, states that four diplomatic pouches are being held at Halifax for instructions from London. Suggest to British Government as far as possible the advisability of releasing pouches as the effect on Swedish people in Sweden and here would be most unfortunate. British Ambassador is communicating with his Government.
