2565. Department’s 2264, April 10, noon. The Foreign Office has telephoned this morning to say that Mr. Eden feels that a more appropriate procedure is to request the Fighting French to recall Monsieur Bertaud to Africa and it is taking action in this sense today. Pending reply from the Fighting French, instructions are not therefore being sent the Governor of Trinidad as indicated in our telegram No. 2548, April 11, noon.
