I would remind you that last week the French Government rejected

alleged conspirator Dr. Saniman. No doubt Paris gave you their reasons with the decision but I am told by French sources that the view taken there of the matter, is 'tart'. The words 'political', 'mauvais fait' and 'mal' were used to me.
