4944. In talking with Mr. Eden this morning he told me that he hoped our representative at Beirut in talking with General de Gaulle would discourage him in an anti-British policy in Syria and the Lebanon.
Mr. Eden also said that he understood Wadsworth66 is being sent to Beirut which he very much approved and asked me if I would inquire how soon Wadsworth would reach his destination.
