Memorandum of Conversation, by the Acting Secretary of State

The French Ambassador called to see me this afternoon. The Ambassador repeated the request he made of Secretary Hull some ten days ago that this Government urge the British Government to grant navicerts for the shipment or [of] urgently needed medical supplies to Syria.

I told the Ambassador that I would be glad to have this matter taken up.
