The Secretary of State to the Minister to the Yugoslav Government in Exile (Biddle), at London
Washington, January 2,
1942—4 p.m.
9. From the Under Secretary. Your Yugoslav Series 4, December 81, 11 p.m.1 Increasingly frequent reports have come to me of intrigues for the removal of Fotitch2 from Washington. I hope you will make it clear in every appropriate way that Fotitch has an exceptional position in Washington where he has gained the confidence and respect of all of us. From the standpoint of the best interests of Yugoslavia, I believe that his replacement at this time would be highly prejudicial. [Welles.]
