The Consul General in Martinique (Malige) to the Secretary of State
[Received 8:18 p.m.]
481. From Reber. At Robert’s request I am sending text of “agreement of November 7” to Admiral Hoover probably by special plane tomorrow and am informing him that I am asking that instructions be sent him direct as to the possibility that he might sign or initial as of November 7 both the agreement and the letter11 containing our understanding of the four supplementary assurances.
I expect to see the High Commissioner tomorrow to inquire regarding the attitude he will adopt on such matters as communication with Vichy and German approval for ship movements here now that the Armistice provisions apparently no longer apply. [Reber.]
