43. Rabat published the following telegram from Weygand to Noguès: [Page 610]
“General Weygand warns the populations of French Africa against cunning, ill considerations, and tendentious informations of which the attitude and instructions of the Government are the object in the actual circumstances.
I call upon the Governors and the Residents General to intervene instantly in this sense.
Nothing contrary to the honor and the interests of France and the peoples confided to her has been or can be consented to by a Government of which Marshal Pétain is the chief.”
