The Acting Secretary of State to the Ambassador in France (Bullitt)
340. Reference Department’s 330 of June 1, 3 p.m. White informs us that his organization is today announcing a general drive for funds [Page 291] to take care of American wounded in France. Organization press release states “we proudly accept our responsibility to these men”. With respect to 28 immediate cases White states appropriate instructions have been sent to organization’s representative in Paris. We assume steps have been taken to apply for necessary travel documents for these men. Consul Marseille has reported names and data on eight wounded men in his district.
