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.

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.

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. 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.

Tell the secretary to the Minister of External Affairs that the French Government expects Canada to associate itself with the action of the American Government with a view to accomplishing the return of the territory of St. Pierre and Miquelon.

On the other hand the French Government does not understand what could have brought about in Canada such a situation on such an important sea route.
