The Ambassador in France (Bullitt) to the Secretary of State
[Received 6:41 p.m.]
1536. I have talked this afternoon with Paul Reynaud and later with Blum. They both expressed the view that the sense of relief at first felt by the French people at the apparent removal of the immediate threat of war is being replaced by a sense of humiliation and indignation which will increase to such an extent as to cause the overthrow of the Government within the next 2 weeks and the formation of a government of national union.
Blum expressed the opinion which I have heard from others that Chamberlain may encounter at Godesberg tomorrow a series of further [Page 633] demands from Hitler which will be impossible for the British and French Governments to accept.
