No. 40 :
M. Georges Bonnet, Minister for Foreign Affairs, to M. Coulondre, French Ambassador in Berlin. Paris, January 27, 1939.

THE debate which has just taken place in the Chamber of Deputies on our foreign policy gave several members an opportunity to emphasize the importance of the Franco-German declaration of December 6 for the development of the relations between both countries. During the sitting of January 26, Messrs. Oberkirch and Scapini laid special stress on their wish to see the consultations provided for in the agreement become more frequent.

You will receive under separate cover the text of the passage of my speech dealing with Franco-German relations, which the entire Chamber applauded.

I leave it to your discretion to make whatever use of this information you may consider desirable.

Georges Bonnet.
