J'ai répondu en rappelant la position de neutralité française. Inversement, le premier écho privé qui me revient sur la réaction du ministre des Affaires étrangères devant ma note du 2 juin relative aux pilotes, est que la France étant neutre dans le conflit du Pacifique, l'Indochine ne peut pas assurer la garde de pilotes, prisonniers de guerre. L'on ajoute qu'il me ... (370) ... que le Japon n'est pas tenu par la Convention de Genève qu'il a signée mais non ratifiée. C'est la thèse japonaise constamment soutenue devant les légations neutres s'occupant des prisonniers des pays ennemis du Japon et c'est vraisemblablement la réponse que m'aurait été faite si j'avais commencé par demander des apaisements sur ce traitement à appliquer aux pilotes dont l'armée japonaise exige le remise.

Elle permet actuellement de distribuer une somme mensuelle de trois millions de dollars CRR (800.000 francs environ) aux 300 Français (850 personnes en comptant les familles) restés au service chinois ou privés de leur situation par la rétrocession. Pour leur assurer le minimum ... indispensable, il faudrait pouvoir distribuer le double.

Ces sommes pourraient être trouvées en ... certaines ressources locales. L'arsenal municipal de Shanghai, engagé par contrat à rapatrier ses employés, a constitué à cet effet à ... une réserve d'un million de francs suisses, (294) soit cent millions de CRR dollars. Si l'Etat français qui, de toute évidence, gardera long- temps la haute main sur les transports maritimes au lendemain de la guerre, prenait à sa charge ce rapatriement, la somme ainsi libérée mettrait à notre disposition un supplément de ressources à la fois considérable et durable. Si l'Etat ne désire pas prendre un tel engagement, il pourrait autoriser la vente d'une partie du domaine qui forme le centre français.
