42. General Weygand left this morning by airplane for Conakry. He planned to visit the French West African colonies before proceeding to Algiers next week. He requested me to do everything that I could in order that French Africa may obtain its vital requirements of petroleum products, coal, foodstuffs, and pharmaceutical preparations from the United States.
