The Ambassador in the United Kingdom (Winant) to the Secretary of State

London, April 27, 1943—midnight.
[Received April 27—9:48 p.m.]

2909. I have continuously pressed the Foreign Secretary to have Bertaud recalled from Trinidad (Department’s 2395, April 15, 8 p.m.). This afternoon Eden told me he had asked Massigli today for the last time to recall Bertaud and that if Massigli failed to issue the order by tonight Eden would instruct the Governor of Trinidad to have Bertaud leave the Island.
