375. Embassy’s telegram No. 366, March 30, 11 a.m. Admiral Auphan has just telephoned to the Foreign Office to say that word has been received that the Italian tanker will not proceed to Algiers for the 5000 tons of gasoline. The Foreign Office does not know whether this change of plan is the result of Admiral Darlan’s representations to Wiesbaden and Turin or not.
