inclusion of Poland is justifiable as one of the strong Powers 
      bordering on Germany in the East and the inclusion of Rumania 
      is also of the first importance since Romania may be the state 
      primarily menaced by Germany's plans for eastern expansion.
 
      
 
 
His Majesty's Government in the United Kingdom have therefore 
      decided to make an approach to the Polish and Rumanian Governments 
      in the following sense:-
 
      
 
 
(a) Germany may either direct attack on Poland or Rumania 
      or may undermine either country's independence whether by processes 
      of economic penetration or national disintegration as in the 
      case of Czechoslovakia or by indirect military pressure which 
      in the case of Rumania might take the form of Hungarian troop 
      concentrations. Are Poland and Rumania respectively prepared 
      actively to resist if their own independence is threatened in 
      any of these ways?
 
      
 
 
(b) If so, Great Britain and France would be prepared to come 
      to the help of the threatened State. It would be understood that 
      as a counterpart for an undertaking by Great Britain and France 
      to support Poland and Romania, Poland and Romania would keep 
      Great Britain and France fully and promptly informed of any developments 
      threatening their independence.
