Scope and content
J. Avenol's present life: he made himself pitiable and ridiculous, he was at Vichy and Geneva following the P. Laval crisis, he tried to prevent France from paying the League of Nations contribution for 1940 but failed, he accused S. Lester and E.H.R. Vigier (France) League of Nations, Political Section, of being traitors; S. Jacklin's difficult journey to the USA; improvement of the situation with the Spanish Government regarding transit visas; General war situation; German war strategy; P. Laval affair of 13.12.1940: Marshal Pétain tricked P. Laval, French Prime Minister and Foreign Minister, also nominated successor to the Head of the State, into giving his resignation, it seemed Marshal Pétain (84 years of age) had never forgiven P. Laval the meeting between Marshal Pétain and A. Hitler at Montoire, because it was arranged in such a way that Marshal Pétain had no alternative but to go and that thereafter P. Laval tried to supplant Marshal Pétain and did not want Marshal Pétain to intervene or affect P. Laval's pro-German policy, Marshal Pétain was prepared to fulfil all the terms of the Armistice and to collaborate economically with Germany, but not to hand over the fleet or the ports, P. Laval remained since under German protection in Paris and the Franco-German collaboration was stopped.
