(c) The assurance offered in (b) is dependent upon Poland 
      coming to the help of Rumania if the latter is the State threatened. 
      We should wish to know whether Rumania would be prepared to come 
      to the help of Poland if the latter were the State threatened.
 
      
 
 
(d) (Present section (d) of the communication is to be made 
      to the Polish Government only since Poland, unlike Rumania, has 
      a treaty of mutual assistance with France and is a stronger military 
      power than Rumania ). The undertaking given by Great Britain 
      and France under (b) would be given as part of a reciprocal arrangement 
      by which if Great Britain or France were attacked by Germany 
      or if they went to war with Germany to resist German aggression 
      anywhere in Western Europe or Yugoslavia, Poland would come to 
      their help.
 
      
 
 
If the position of Poland and Romania can be consolidated 
      Turkey and Greece could more easily be rallied to the common 
      cause and would more likely be able to make an effective contribution.
 
      It is important that the Polish and Rumanian Governments should 
      be made aware of the manner in which we would preserve the interest 
      of the Soviet Union in this scheme. The intention would be at 
      some convenient moment in the discussions to explain to the Soviet 
      Government that it was proposed in the first place to proceed 
      with the Governments of the two countries nearer to Germany
