          I have also been informed by the Foreign Office 
 
that in view of the urgency of keeping all of Great 
 
Britain's allies in line, quantities of war materials 
 
are being sent to Turkey without reference to the still 
 
pending credit agreement. Negotiations on the politi-
 
cal agreement (my No. 1192 August 15, 9 p.m. and 
 
despatch No. 3238 August 21, 1939) are being pushed 
 
as fast as possible, and their are considering sending 
 
a mission to Istanbul.
 
         A telegram from the British Ambassador at Warsaw 
 
just received by the Foreign Office reports that the 
 
"full mobilization" in Poland does not mean "general 
 
mobilization". (END MESSAGE)
