Cablegram unnumbered 23 March 1938,
PERSONAL
My colleagues and I have given careful consideration to matter of
attitude to be adopted with regard to possibilities arising out of
relations of Germany with Czechoslovakia. [1] We recognise fully
the difficulties which surround this question and we realise that
your Government will not come to a decision without exploring
every possible eventuality. We feel that no definite commitment
with regard to Czechoslovakia should be undertaken. I send you
this as it may be of value to have our views during your
deliberations.
