_"In the event of any
action which clearly threatened Polish independence and which
the Polish Government accordingly considered it vital to resist
with their national forces, His Majesty's Government would feel
themselves bound at once to lend the Polish Government all support
in their power. They have given the Polish Government an assurance
to this effect. I may add that the French Government have authorized
me to make it plain that they stand in the same position in
this matter."
