717. Rochat27 expressed delight at the prospective resumption of our program for the economic supplying of French Africa and the indications of British agreement thereto. The latter, he said, is encouraging as an indication that the British are desirous of “localizing” the Syrian affair and of preventing extension of the conflict to other areas.
