Scope and Contents

Letter from WSC to King [George VI] on the consequences of the Royal Navy engaging the French ship Dunquerque: stating that if France declared war or handed over her Fleet and bases to Germany, Britain would need US aid, but that this is unlikely because there was little reaction to the bombardment of Oran [Algeria], and the USA has made strong representations to Admiral [Jean] Darlan [Vice-Premier of Vichy France]. [draft carbon].
