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

Vichy, November 11, 1940—8 p.m.
[Received November 12—9:08 a.m.]

934. Department’s 706, November 9, 10 p.m. I have informed Monick. He is leaving to return to Morocco on Wednesday. He reiterated the need for haste as it seems questionable how long a time he may have the requisite authority and independence of action.
