The Acting Secretary of State to the Minister in Egypt (Kirk)
Washington, September
1, 1942—9 p.m.
1008. Will you please see Casey at as early a moment as possible and referring to the situation reported in Beirut’s no. 319 of September 1, 1 p.m. ask that he give you for the information of your Government as full an indication of his views in this connection as possible. Needless to add the policy of the American Government is directed towards preventing this threatened break in Franco-British relations.
