Summary of telegram of August 3lst to His Majesty's Ambassador 
      at Warsaw.
 
      
 
 
1. His Majesty's Government are gratified to learn that the

      suggestion that the demand that Polish representative should 
      be in Berlin by August 30th was equivalent to an ultimatum was 
      definitely repudiated by German Foreign Minister in talking with

4. It would seem M. Lipski could surely be instructed to receive 
      and forward the document and say (a) if it contained anything 
      like the expected
