MEMORANDUM FOR THE PRESIDENT
Sub ject: Visit of Prime Minister Erlander of Sweden
On January 24 you approved the extension of an
invitation to luncheon on Monday, April 14 to Prime
Minister Tage Erlander of Sweden. He will have just

ADMIN."
Mr. Erlander came to Washington April 12 and
will depart April 16 to return to Stockholm. He has
been in the United States since April 3, mainly for
the purpose of participating in the centennial celebra-
tion of the incorporation of the city of Rockford,
Illinois, and of the arrival there of a group of Swedish
immigrants. During his stay in the United States the
Prime Minister also has visited New York, Chicago,
Minneapolis, Ashland (Wisconsin), and Detroit. While
his trip is thus entirely unofficial and informal, we
consider it important, in the light of Sweden's foreign
policy and the fact that the Prime Minister has not
previously been in the United States, that he gain the
most favorable impression of the country. A biographical
sketch concerning Mr. Erlander is attached (Annex 1).
United States relations with Sweden are strongly
influenced under present circumstances by that country's
determination to avoid involvement in any military bloc
or alliance. Nevertheless, there is an official Swedish
desire, even in matters involving East-West tension, for
