U.S. government referred to ... because of the fact of her collaboration with France in the Pacific in the administration of our territory.

According to my instructions, I made a formal protest against the procedure employed by the U.S. government who considered themselves authorised to ... the occupation by dissident elements without having previously made clear their intentions to the French government.

With a certain emphasis the Secretary of State said that the intentions of the United States had been already clearly expressed: "to return to France the possession of her empire and eventually to demand the return of those parts which had been taken from her." "Our action in ... ... , he said, is justified by our fears of seeing the French islands in the South Pacific fall into Japanese hands with the ... agreement of Admir of Admiral de COUX. We cannot, under the extremely difficult circumstances of this theatre of war, assume such a risk and the attitude taken by those whom you call dissidents, and we Americans think of only as Frenchmen, has no other signification.

Message No. 113.

Our commercial attaché has carried out the enquiry requested in your telegrams No. 35. In order to do this effectively he should have known the history of orders which have been passed already (my tel. No. 104). The fact that these, for some unknown reason, have not arrived in Canada suggests ... new orders.

I also drew his attention, in passing, to the fact that when the agreement was made in April 1941 the U. S. were still non-belligerent and we could inform Admiral LEANT of the movements of the DUNQUENQUE without any risk, but since the entry of America into the war as an ally of Great Britain such information could not be given without danger to the ship or embarrassment to the U. S.

I raised the question of the articles which have recently appeared in the American press suggesting that the Allied fleets should repeat in ... a "Pearl Harbour" or "Merelke ..." ... such an attack can be launched.

In spite of these arguments M. HULL retains his point of view that our conduct has been contrary to our pledged word.

Message No. 912-15.

My telegramme ... ... . In telegrammes Nos. 901-6 I have given Your Excellency the reactions which have been provoked in the American press by the aerial bombing of the Paris region by the British.

Before going in to see M. CORNELL HULL this morning the reporters accredited to the State Department appeared particularly anxious to learn my reactions on recent events. I (avoided?) all comment on the "..." and I (referred?) my questioners to the declaration made by the Marshal. The numerous correspondents who questioned me seemed particularly anxious to learn what political repercussions the bombings might give rise to.

M. CORNELL HULL, who made the comments passed on to you in my telegramme already referred to, also appeared concerned over the consequences of the English

I remarked to him that the first result would be a greater rallying of all Frenchmen in the free and occupied zones about the Marshal who, being struck at once again, would find in their ... ... all the ... and unity necessary.

I told M. CORDELL HULL that I had been personally saddened at not having found in his statement which he had made yesterday explaining the legitimacy of the bombing by the English a single word of sympathy addressed to the French people so grievously tried.

M. CORDELL HULL replied that he had not thought it necessary to do this after the statement made by the Marshal who described the British aggression as dastardly. He added that the leaders of France, for their part, had never expressed their sympathy for the people of the industrial centres of Birmingham and Coventry who had suffered similarly.

I pointed out to the Secretary of State that these people had at least the chance of being protected
