COPY From: Viscount Halifax to Marquess of Lothian IMMEDIATE Tel. No. 2234 of September 11th. Personal and Secret You should inform the President in confidence of the contents of Stockholm telegrams Nos. 1011 and 1016 and of my telegrams to Stockholm Nos. 726 and 737. I feel that the President should know at this moment when Hitler is battering London with indiscriminate attacks from the air he is also following his familiar technique of trying to seduce us with superficial fair promises of an illusory peace at the expense of everyone but ourselves. I am sure that the President understands that we are not unmindful of our responsibilities and that we shall meet all attacks and all blandishments with firm resolve to rid the world of this scourge. :/ ~A6bO~ |
