5.The following points remain to be settled before the formal 
      agreement can be concluded:
 
      
 
 
a. His Majesty's Government desire that the formal agreement 
      should provide that if the United Kingdom and France went to 
      war with Germany to resist German aggression in Western Europe 
      (the Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, Denmark) Poland would 
      come to their help. (M. Beck appreciated the vital importance 
      of this question for the United Kingdom and undertook that the 
      Polish Government would take it into serious consideration.)
 
      
 
 
b. The obligations which His Majesty's Government has accepted 
      towards Poland during the period necessary for the conclusion 
      of the formal agreement have also been accepted by France. It 
      is understood that the obligations to be accepted by His Majesty's 
      Government in the formal agreement itself should also be accepted 
      by France; the method of arranging for this would be a matter 
      for discussion with the French Government.

      respecting to the full the obligations of mutual assistance which 
      exist between Poland and Rumania, thought it premature to express 
      a definite opinion as to the desirability of including the case 
      of Rumania in the formal agreement. They consider that they should 
      treat
