Sir John stated: "I should indeed be sorry if there were any difference on a matter of fact with Baron von Neurath. My fellow countrymen may rest assured that the suggested inaccuracy is not on my side.'
It was on October 6th that the German Charge D'Affaires in London com- municated to Sir John Germany's "obser vations" on the disarmament situation.
