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

1941. Mytel 1887, May 10. Foreign Office note dated May 11 just received whose pertinent paragraphs follow in translation:

“French Government believes it is indeed desirable that governments of Atlantic Community and British Commonwealth adopt common policy on this question.

“French Government intends take advantage Secretary State’s forthcoming visit Paris to study with him new situation created by collapse of National Chinese Government and to inform him of considerations to which this situation gives rise since it has special aspect for France because of common frontier between Indochina and China.”
