Telegram to His Majesty's Ambassador in 
      Berlin, of August 31st.
 
      Please inform the German Government that His Majesty's Government 
      understand that the Polish Government are arranging to establish 
      contact with them through M. Lipski in Berlin. Please enquire 
      whether in view of the serious situation in Danzig they agree 
      to the necessity for setting up an immediate provisional modus 
      vivendi. We have already made this suggestion to the German Government 
      in paragraph 9 of our recent communication. Would they agree 
      that M. Burckhardt might be employed in this connexion if it 
      were possible to secure his services.
