ADDRESSED TO FOREIGN OFFICE TELEGRAM NUMBER 375 OF 16 JULY
REPEATED FOR INFORMATION TO BUCHAREST BUDAPEST MOSCOW SOFIA WARSAW
AND SAVING TO WASHINGTON.
(666)
YOUR TELEGRAM 334 TO BUCHAREST.
I THINK THE CZECHOSLOVAK AUTHORITIES WOULD ONLY
BE DISPOSED TO ACT IN CONCERT WITH THEIR EAST EUROPEAN ALLIES. WHATEVER THE MERITS OF THE CASE THEY WOULD
NOT WISH TO RISK ANY ISOLATED ACTION THAT COULD
BE MISREPRESENTED AS ACTION IN SUPPORT OF THE INTERESTS
OF A WESTERN POWER.
2. SINCE NO APPROACH IS TO BE MADE TO THE RUSSIANS I
ADVISE AGAINST MAKING AN APPROACH HERE.
F O PLEASE PASS TO BUCHAREST, BUDAPEST, MOSCOW, WARSAW,
SOFIA AND SAVING TO WASHINGTON.
