234. Murphy’s telegram 211, April 3, 5 p.m., from Algiers.51 The continued use by Italian airplanes of French fields in North Africa and the utilization of French facilities for continued military operation seems to us at variance with French assurances regarding the use of bases in North Africa. Please make immediate inquiry of the French Government in this regard.
In this connection you may again refer to protest submitted in Department’s 205, March 24, 8 p.m.
