The Chargé in France ( Matthews ) to the Secretary of State

577. My telegram No. 652 [562], September 13, 7 p.m. Fifteen hundred carloads of potatoes have been shipped out of the Vichy area in response to German demands in the past few days. This information comes confidentially from the Foreign Office. (They are consequently extremely scarce here at the present time.)
