Tel. No. 2229 of September 12th.
 
          from: Viscount Hal ifax
 
          to : Marquess of Lothian
 
     Following addressed to Stockholm
 
telegram No. 726 of September 6th.
 
     You should not yourself meet Weissauer
 
in view of the obvious danger of misconstruction.
 
     Moreover it would be quite useless for
 
you to do so as you could not enter into a
 
discussion and could only receive a message from
 
him which it is always open to him to pass
 
to you through the President of the High Court
 
or any other channel. The attitude of His
 
Majesty's Government has been made quite plain
 
in reply to the King of Sweden (see my telegram 
 
1660) in which we alluded to the necessity of
 
words being effectively guaranteed by deeds.
