740.0011 European War 1939/6697: Telegram
The Diplomatic Agent and Consul General at Tangier (White) to the Secretary of State
[Received November 15—2:15 p.m.]
61. Referring to my 39, October 28, 7 p.m., I hear that Weygand’s reception of the Churchill messages was non-committal but not hostile. He evinced particular interest in the question of what armed assistance Great Britain could supply in case he turned activist (as a premature Tangier rumor, presumably based on radio broadcast, claims that he may).
I heard also that Weygand has agreed to collaborate with the Count de Paris90 but am ignorant as to whether this signifies a definite royalist orientation on his part. My informant questioned whether De Gaulle and Weygand could work together cordially.
