      On October 1st, the French
 
      Ambassador at Madrid gave to His Majesty's Ambassador a message 
      from M. Baudouin for communication to His Majesty's Government %.

      would be defeated and then France would be once again united 
      with the United Kingdom against Germany.

      for France and Great Britain to continue on the same road towards 
      an ultimate victory. His Majesty's Ambassador told him that he 
      also was only interested in winning the war, and that he was 
      not going to recriminate with him over what had happened. For 
      instance, he was not going to argue with him over the
