a) Qu'elle est contraire à l'attitude constamment observée par le département d'état qui, considérant les Antilles comme faisant partie de l'hémisphère occidentale, a dans certains cas semblables ... le séjour de nos (774) navires à FORT DE FRANCE à une escale dans un port américain (cas du "..." dont le retour de Casablanca à FORT DE FRANCE nous a été indiqué en octobre dernier comme justifiant la mise en route du "SHERERAZADE", chargé, de Baytown sur Casablanca).
d) Qu'elle ne se fond sur aucun argument précis. Il est en outre impossible de considérer comme tel le prétexte donné du côté américain qui invoque " la situation actuelle dans la mer des Caraïbes."

Si le (775) gouvernement des E.U. entend par là qu'il craint le coulage du pétrolier dans cette mer, (il est) facile de répondre que le MEROPE ...ant pavillon français, est précisément beaucoup moins susceptible d'y être attaqué

e) Qu'elle se trouve, port atteint, aux dispositions des accords GREENSLADE-BOBERT qui prévoient le ravitaillement des Antilles en produits pétroliers. En outre le département d'état ne peut (douter) que si le "MEROPE" n'est pas autorisé à se rendre aux Antilles pour effectuer ce ravitaillement, la CAA se refusera absolument à l'envoi à CARAPITO de l'un des pétroliers de la MARTINIQUE."

Je vous prie donc, compte tenue des arguments qui précèdent, d'effectuer dès réception du présent télégramme (776), une démarche fort pressante auprès du département d'état pour le demander de revenir sur la position prise et d'autoriser le retour du "MEROPE" à FORT DE FRANCE.

Cette règle (1214) ne paraissent pas avoir été observée en ce qui concerne la dernière expédition faite de Montévidee, je crois devoir attirer de manière particulièrement pressante l'attention ... sur l'intérêt qu'il y a à respecter ... les termes de notre accord afin d'éviter de donner aux fort nombreux adversaires de cet arrangement le moindre prétexte pour l'... . Prière de communiquer l'achat ... au service des prisonniers de guerre et à Montévidee.

Le New York ... publie les déclarations d'un voyageur récemment arrivé de France qui prétend que chaque vaisseau arrivant à Marseille, venant de l'Afrique du nord est examiné avant tout débarquement de marchandises par la Commission allemande d'Armistice qui se fait communiquer la documentation des marchandises importées. La Commission d'Armistice prélevait de ... à ... des cargaisons: ... d'Algérie, bananes (1220) d'Afrique occidentale, oranges, dates et figues du Maroc. Ces chiffres seraient connus de toute la population marseillaise ... ... manifesté son ... ouvertures. (Je voudrais) savoir si ces chiffres sont exactes ou si une grande partie des marchandises qui paraissent destinées à l'Allemagne n'ont pas été envoyées récemment pour subvenir aux besoins de la population française dans la zone occupée.
