The Secretary of State to the Minister in Czechoslovakia (Carr)
Washington, September 15, 1938—9
p.m.
62. Your 192, September 15, 1 p.m. We consider it most important for you to avoid the panic or at least confusion that might result from your giving any widespread advice to Americans to leave Czechoslovakia until you consider it absolutely necessary. In view, however, of the geographic situation involved we approve your cautioning Americans if they make inquiry that if trouble should come it would be almost impossible for them to get out of Praha in any orderly fashion and probably to any country other than Hungary or Poland.
