The Minister in Czechoslovakia (Carr) to the Secretary of State

27. Foreign Office reports Czechs have closed Austrian frontier against refugees. Yesterday German Minister and Berlin were greatly disturbed by reported Czech mobilization until assured report was false. Foreign Office official has assured me there has been no troop movements, adding that in view of non-energetic attitude in London and Paris military activity here would be most unwise. Policy at present is calm self-control.
