The Secretary of State to the Consul General in Martinique (Malige)
Washington, November
18, 1942—5 p.m.
256. For Reber. Unless you consider that your continued presence in Fort-de-France for a few more days would serve a useful purpose, you should return to Washington as quickly as possible relinquishing to Malige the conduct of future negotiations with Admiral Robert. Navy Department approves.
Department’s policy remains as set forth in its telegram no. 252 of November 12.
