The Ambassador in France (Bullitt) to the Secretary of State

Paris, May 17, 1938—1 p.m.
[Received May 17—8:10 a.m.]

777. Personal for the Secretary. The Czechoslovakian situation is so critical that while I will concede there is an excellent chance of a peaceful settlement, I nevertheless believe the Department should be prepared to face a major European war before August 15.
