Cablegram 8 2 February 1938,
SECRET
My colleagues and I have read with great interest your telegram of
27th January, 1938 [1], with regard to international affairs. We
agree that the present situation calls for action and we feel that
the re-opening of conversations with Italy is of the utmost
importance. I should be glad if you would continue to keep me
fully advised as to the situation.
