Telegram dated August 25th 1939,              
 
                    from His Majesty's Ambassador           
 
                             in Berlin.                     
 
 
Following is tranalation of text of verbal 
communication made to me by Hitler at my interview
to-day. 
 
 
By way of introduction the Fuhrer declared
that British Ambassador had given expression at close
of last conversation to hope that after all an under-         
standing between Germany and England might yet be
possible. He, the Fuhrer, had therefore turned things
over in his mind once more and proposed to make a move 
as regards England which should be as decisive a move
as that regarding Russia which had led to recent agreement. 
Yesterday's sitting in the House of Commons
and speeches of Mr. Chamberlain and Lord Halifax
had also moved the Fuhrer to talk once more to the
British Ambassador. Assertion that Germany aimed at
conquest of world was ridiculous. British Empire
embraced forty million square kilometers, Russia nineteen 
million square kilometers, America nine and a half million 
square kilometers whereas Germany embraced less than six 
hundred thousand square kilometer. It is quite clear who it is 
who, desires to conquer the world.
 
 
The Fuhrer makes the following communication
to British Ambassador:
 
 
1. Polish acts of provocation have become
intolerable. It makee no difference who is responsible.
If Polish Government denies responsibility that only
goes to show that it no longer, itself possesses any
influence over its subordinate military authorities.
