The Ambassador in Germany (Dodd) to the Secretary of State

38. Point of view of Foreign Office, also reflected in the press, is that French aide-mémoire of February 1457 published here yesterday constitutes no advance whatever in Franco-German armament negotiations.

No reply will be made till after visit of Eden who is expected here Monday evening.
