Scope and Contents

Telegram from WSC to the President of the United States [Franklin Roosevelt] opposing American proposals for increasing convoys to the Soviet Union: argues that a reduction in transatlantic escorts might have "disastrous consequences"; argues that the difficulty of Soviet convoys cannot be solved merely by anti-submarine craft and describes recent loss and damage to British ships; states that six ships from Iceland have already arrived at the Clyde [Scotland] and that three convoys every two months "represent extreme limit of what we can handle.".
