235 Mr R.G. Menzies, Prime Minister, to Mr S.M. Bruce, High Commissioner in London

Cablegram unnumbered 19 September 1939,

SECRET

We have been considering the possibilities in relation to Russia,
and while we recognise that information is so meagre that we are
not really competent to form a concluded opinion, our impression
is very strongly that nothing should be done to cut off diplomatic
relations with Russia at present. It seems to us quite possible
that though Germany and Russia now appear to be dividing the
Polish spoil, they may yet quarrel over the division.
