8270. The Minister at Christiania telegraphs me that a plenipotentiary of Finland, Dr. Julio Reuter, is about to arrive in London on his way to the United States and solicits a personal interview with me.
I am officially informed that Norway and Denmark have recognized the independence of Finland but as the United States has not yet done so I shall not receive Dr. Reuter unless you instruct me to do so, in which case I also request instructions as to the attitude you wish me to adopt.
