Message No. 256. Urgent.

The French Government has learned with satisfaction of the declaration in which the government of the United States has repudiated the action undertaken against St. Pierre and Miquelon. But they consider that the political standing of the de GALLIETS with respect to the Imperial Government and the assistance which ex-Admiral MUSELIER has received in the British country of Canada, oblige them to request the government to take a hand in the immediate re-establishment of the former regime. This re-establishment would involve, in the first place, the evacuation of the territory by the de GALLIET mercenaries, and the replacement of our own officials. The French Government attaches the greatest importance to obtaining immediately precise details concerning the measures taken by the interested governments in this matter.

Message No. 454.

The resistance of the French Government
and, perhaps still more, the emotion aroused by
the ..... 'coup de main' on St. Pierre has ended
the campaign of (evil ?) reports circulated on the
23rd and 24th concerning the situation in France.

Based on a report put out by ...... and
claiming to come from "somewhere in Europe",
numerous papers, especially those in French,
carry large headlines that Marshal PETAIN has been
dismissed while "announcing the entry of German
troops into Spain".

Message No. 463.

In the 4th course which Mr. CHURCHILL has just given in parliament he devoted quite a long passage to France.

In bitter terms he recalled the "...." brought about by the conviction that an English defeat would follow three weeks later. Then he eulogised those Frenchmen who continued to fight mentioning the name of ex-General de GAULLE. Thus he left part of the public under the impression that he was, far from opposed to the recent 'coup de force' in St. Pierre.

After these bitter glided words .... he spoke in French of his love for France who would arise and take her place amongst the victorious nations.

Message No. 468.

At a press conference this morning Mr. CHURCHILL said that he was not greatly troubled by the St. Pierre affair which was of small importance by comparison with the conflict itself. He expressed the opinion that it would be settled in a satisfactory manner ....... shortly.

              <text>on learning the position of French authority, in view of the logical conclusion to be drawn from this declaration.

The Under-Secretary of External Affairs then tried to avoid the issue by insisting on the two following arguments:

1) Explaining the danger to which the position of the island exposes the transports.

I remarked to him that our government would certainly not refuse to discuss steps which would be necessary, once the former state of affairs was re-established.

2) (A corrupt passage follows.)

Finally, he avoided clarifying his position, saying that his government was in close touch with Washington on the matter, and that a solution was awaiting the results of conversations in Washington with the French Ambassador. Besides the Prime Minister would get in touch with me without delay.

In short, they are trying here to avoid taking a definite stand and are trying to hide behind the actions of the other two governments.

Message Nos. 3, 4, 5.

Since the departure of Mr. CHURCHILL for Washington, I have been able, while waiting to see the Prime Minister, to have a long talk concerning St. Pierre with the Under-Secretary of State. The dominant impression which I received was one of embarrassment.

I understood that on his arrival in Washington, Mr. MACKENZIE KING was greatly surprised to hear people attribute a share in the responsibility for the affair to Canada and to ask him his intentions, seeing that he repudiates all (responsibility?) and considers that the question should be settled in consultation with the United States and Great Britain.

I remarked that an article had appeared in 'Le JOUR' this morning stating that "the plans for the expedition ......... in our office" ...... The Under-Secretary repeated "the affair was carried through without our knowledge and contrary to our advice". I was all the more determined to insist (continued)
