**From:** Vichy

**To:** Washington

**Dated:** July 12, 1942

**Reed:** July 13, 1942

**Message No:** 1433

Je vous prie de remettre au Département d'État une (note) à l'effet suivant:

Le Gouvernement français vient d'apprendre que le groupe de NAYOTTE et DEACUDSI, dans l'archipel français des CONGRES, a été occupé le 2 juillet par des forces britanniques. Le Gouvernement français proteste contre cette nouvelle violation de territoire placé sous sa souveraineté. Il demande que les forces étrangères qui s'y trouvent, les évasuent au plus tôt, et réserve formellement tous ses droits (sur ce) territoire. Il souligne dès à présent que les dommages causés à l'État français ou à ses ressortissants par l'occupation de ces îles devront donner lieu à indemnité.

PIERRE LAVAL
