M. Coulondre, French Ambassador in Berlin, to M. Georges Bonnet, Minister for Foreign Affairs. Berlin, August 28, 1939.

(Received by telephone at 6.15 p.m.)

M. LIPSKI has received the instructions announced (my telegram of August 26) which authorize him to make indirect overtures with a view to settling the question of minorities by exchanges of population.

The Polish ambassador intends to act on these instructions when an opportunity arises.
