**From:** Vichy

**To:** Washington

**Dated:** July 8, 1942

**Rec'd:** July 9, 1942

**Message Nos. 1414-1416.**

**Votre tél. (..)** 81 &amp; 85.

Je vous serais obligé d'effectuer une démarche auprès du Ministre des Affaires étrangères pour lui faire connaître ce qui suit.

1° Le Gouvernement français, qui n'est en mesure d'autoriser ni la vente ni l'affrètement du MERGPE au Gouvernement mexicain - cette vente ou affrètement à un belligérant, étant contraire aux dispositions des conventions d'armistice - proteste contre la mesure ... projetée à l'égard de ce pétrolier.

2° Si le Gouvernement mexicain décide, malgré cette protestation, de procéder à une réquisition du tanker, je vous serais obligé de vous efforcer d'obtenir que celle-ci soit effectuée au cours ci-après :

A - La réquisition serait une simple réquisition d'usage pour la (1416) durée de la guerre comportant, bien entendu, un transfert de pavillon mais ne portant aucune atteinte au droit (continued)
