2395. Your 2565, April 12. Presence of Bertaud in Trinidad continues to affect stability of situation in French Guiana. Please inform British authorities that unless Fighting French order Bertaud’s return to Africa within the next few days, we expect the British themselves to take action on the matter. If you deem it necessary, you may remind the British that it was by means of their transportation facilities that Bertaud reached Trinidad.
