memorandum and have certain amendments to propose in some passages which
relate to the attitude of His Majesty's Governments in the United Kingdom
and in the Dominions towards CzechoSlovakia which is incorrectly described
by the Czechoslovak Government. His Majesty's Government obviously cannot
undertake the responsibility of forwarding a document to the Vatican
containing misleading references to their own policy and they are informing
the Czechoslovak Government accordingly."
Though I cannot be sure, because the Department received no copy of the
earlier text, I presume that the present text is to be considered a
substitution for the memorandum which Dr. Benes handed to you, the necessary
revision having been made, in view of the British objections mentioned above,
after Dr. Benes' return to London.
Faithfully yours,
Enclosure:
Memorandum from
Dr. Benes,
May 10, 1943.
