The Secretary of State to the Ambassador in Brazil (Caffery)

Washington, March 18, 1943—noon.

986. From the Under Secretary. Please express to Aranha31 my confident belief that he will share with me a feeling of approval and gratification at the action of the Governor of French Guiana in placing his Government at the side of the United Nations through his adherence to General Giraud, a step which clearly expresses the will of the people of this French colony. [Welles.]
