Text Any textual data included in the document From: Washington To: Vichy Dated: July 3, 1942 Rec'd: July 4, 1942 Message Nos: 2569-70 Les dépêches de Londres de ce matin indiquent que le problème des navires de guerre français internés à Alexandrie préoccupe vivement la Grande Bretagne. Le correspondant du NEW YORK TIMES note que l'Amirauté britannique est décidée de ne pas laisser un butin de guerre aussi considérable tomber ... entre les mains de l'Axe. Il indique aussi que les bateaux sont non seulement retenus mais probablement immobilisés ... :- "Si la situation empire encore les Anglais eux-mêmes (vont) saborder les navires français". La presse américaine (2570) appuie généralement cette suggestion. Ainsi le WASHINGTON POST dans un éditorial écrit:- "Si ces bateaux tombent entre les mains allemandes (ils seront) remis en service avec ou sans les consentement de Vichy. Il est donc douteux que les Anglais soient disposés à laisser à HITLER un tel présent." HENRY HAYE File D-2012 2569-2120-21 2570-2122 Examination Unit, National Research Council, July 6, 1942.
