Most grateful for the views of His Majesty's Government in the
Commonwealth of Australia as stated in your telegram No. 84. [1]
We much appreciate the expression of strong support of our policy
as declared in my speech of 24th March and reaffirmed in Sir John
Simons [2] speech of 27th August. We are giving the most careful
consideration to the Commonwealth Government's views in the light
of the situation as it develops.

On the particular question of the publication of the present Czech
proposals you will have seen the latest position from the
Secretary of State's telegram Circular B. 207. [3]
