The Secretary of State to the Consul General at Algiers (Wiley)
Washington, May 8,
1943—9 p.m.
884. For Murphy. Your no. 805, May 6, 5 p.m. In the military and other circumstances of the general situation the action of General Giraud seems to be free from any objection.
As he knows, our one primary consideration and concern in the African campaign is the waging of battle until the continent is conquered, and we see no reason, therefore, why political or other considerations should be allowed to interfere with the military effort now proceeding. We have so expressed ourselves to the War Department this morning.
