The Ambassador in France (Bullitt) to the Secretary of State
[Received August 12—12:16 p.m.]
1492. Daladier expressed to me today the same opinions as those expressed by Charvériat reported in my No. 1491, August 12, 2 p.m.
He added that in his opinion the German troop movements to date were disquieting but did not yet indicate definitely an intention to strike in the immediate future. He thought that a major Far Eastern crisis which might lead to war was imminent but he did not believe that war itself would come during the next few days.
Daladier said that his information from Moscow indicated that Voroshilov26 and the officers of the Red Army were genuinely eager to come to a definite agreement.
