MEMORANDUM FOR THE PRESIDENT
Subject: Proposed Call on the President of
M. Georges Bidault, French Foreign Min-
ister.
The French Counselor, Mr. Lacoste, called on me this
afternoon and left with me a note, a. copy and transla-
tion of which are enclosed herewith, containing a message
to you from General de Gaulle in which General de Geulle
states that when Monsieur Bidault, the French Foreign
Minister, meets you on Thursday he will take up, among
other questions, the great desire of France that French
forces should participate side by side with American
forces in the campaign against Japan.
We are preparing for you a memorandum on this sub-
ject with our recommendations concerning the position
we feel our Government should take in this issue and
I shall have it in your hands in ample time before
Monsieur Bidault's appointment.
