Description
Britain's survival fills the 1940 third volume. Appeals for greater aid open the papers. France's fall raises fears for the British fleet. Old destroyers are traded for hemisphere bases. That bargain fills the central file. Secret technical knowledge is swapped by arrangement. Censors opening American mail draw protest. Two Germans lifted from a Philippine ship were taken wrongly, Washington says. Import controls pinch American farms in files. Kenya and Tanganyika bend treaty rights in theirs. West Africa's cocoa scheme draws a monopoly charge.
Postwar relief is planned amid the fighting. Australian wool is stockpiled in America by December pact. A mid-volume count tracks Greece's arming. Six thousand more Italians landed in Albania, it says. Greeks now field some three hundred thousand men. The volume is partnership before alliance.
