U.S. government referred to ... because of the fact of her collaboration with France in the Pacific in the administration of our territory.
According to my instructions, I made a formal protest against the procedure employed by the U.S. government who considered themselves authorised to ... the occupation by dissident elements without having previously made clear their intentions to the French government.

"Our action in ... ... , he said, is justified by our fears of seeing the French islands in the South Pacific fall into Japanese hands with the ... agreement of Admir of Admiral de COUX. We cannot, under the extremely difficult circumstances of this theatre of war, assume such a risk and the attitude taken by those whom you call dissidents, and we Americans think of only as Frenchmen, has no other signification.
