3039. The substance of your 2628, September 5, 8 p.m., has been communicated orally to Admiral Muselier who appreciates the information given. He had withheld his telegram pending receipt of your views and says that he will not send it and will hold his hand until he believes that Martinique, Guadeloupe, and French Guiana can be “converted” simultaneously. He reiterated his desire to do nothing to which we would object.
