256. For Murphy. The British Government desires to publicize extensively, particularly by means of broadcasts in Arabic, the “British share” in the operation of the North African supply program. This share would, of course, appear to consist merely of British approval of the shipment of products of American origin in French vessels.
We should appreciate your views as to the advisability of spreading publicity of this nature among the French and native inhabitants of North Africa.
