Item 129

Transcription: Left page reads: I replied, by my sec. to his sec., that I wd be at his disposal any time he wishes to see me regarding the message. Procedure followed was, I considered, quite constitutional but nevertheless I had passed on his message to Pres of Cncl. Felkin : query. Reports from France indicate that a revulsion of feeling—this time forming the British—is moving. Right page reads: 27/8/40 A. is expected from Vichy tonight. Yesterday I heard that the Vichy Govmt, which had at first raised no objection to certain French offls of the J.L.O. (including Tixier, Viple, La France etc) going to the American continent with the Director had given orders to recall them. Montreal is perhaps objected to. But— I have been fusing to announce any decision about transfer of Secretariat elements as I fear trouble and want to try to avoid it. La Suisse also in a different way. Not very easy.
