The Chargé at Tangier (Childs) to the Secretary of State
[Received 12:22 p.m.]
230. It may be perhaps useful to the Department to know that it is the unanimous opinion of us here in Tangier including the Military and Naval Attachés as well as my British colleague that at least token shipments should be resumed to Morocco under the American-French economic accord.
One obvious advantage of token shipments is that they offer a raison d’être for the continued activity of the control officers whose reports have contributed so much to the work of Anglo-American joint intelligence center here which is cooperating most effectively with Gibraltar and Malta.
By courier to Casablanca, Algiers.
