"After the Munich agreement it was simultaneously stated on both sides to give the endeavours for the such relations, establishment of concrete expression.

"Conditions for an agreement be- tween France and Germany on the lines of the agreement concluded be- tween England and Germany at Munich appeared to be extraordin urlly favourable during the last few weeks.
