to adopt the same attitude as His Majesty's Government in
so far as direct consignments of arms of all kinds are
concerned provided that the other arms producing countries
do the same, and that since all arms producing factories
in Poland are State owned, the Polish Government would be
in a position to carry out effectively such an undertaking.
In the opinion of the Board this reply may be regarded as
satisfactory.
The Board also agree with the views expressed in
paragraphs 4 and 5 of your letter of the 26th February
with regard to the shipments from Germany and they concur
in the terms of the telegram which it is proposed to send
to Sir Alexander Cadogan.
Copies of this letter are being sent to the
War Office, Admiralty, Air Ministry, Colonial Office and
the Department of Overseas Trade.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your obedient Servant,
