Reference de facto recognition of German occupation
Czechoslovakia. Question of recognition by Commonwealth Government
is under consideration. Glad if you would make enquiries and
advise what steps if any being taken by British Government as to
withdrawal recognition Czech Consuls and as to German consular
representatives in United Kingdom, especially whether new
exequaturs will be issued to them or written intimation only that
they will be recognized as having jurisdiction pertaining to Czech
citizens. Further what would be appropriate procedure for us in
event either alternative being adopted.
