1/@%_%@ - 1-25-52 - The President said he talked to the Secy. of State regarding this letter - no written reply necessary. Rose A.C. DEPARTMENT OF STATE WASHINGTON CONFIDENTIAL January 23, 1952 MEMORANDUM FOR THE PRESIDENT Subject: Informal visit of the Prime Minister of Sweden to the United States The Prime Minister of Sweden, Mr. Tage Erlander, has announced that he plans to visit the United States in April in connection with ceremonies at Rockford, Illinois. Mr. Erlander is young, open-minded and able. He has steadily grown in stature and power. Prospects are that he will remain in office for many years to come. He has never visited the United States and would undoubtedly be receptive to favorable impressions which would permanently affect his attitude toward this country. It would, therefore, seem desirable from the standpoint of foreign policy to take advantage of his trip to the United States to suggest that he might visit Washington informally. Such a visit would involve you in a minimum of obligations, probably only a brief talk with him at your convenience. The week of April 13 is the most convenient time for Mr. Erlander to be in Washington. If this week is inconvenient for you, he could with some difficulty rearrange his schedule and be in Washington April 7 - 12. I recommend that Mr. Erlander be invited for informal discussions during the week of April 13, if possible. Subject to your concurrence, the Department will make the necessary arrangements.
