No. 346 : M. Georges Bonnet, Minister for Foreign Affairs, to M. CHARLES-ROUX, French Ambassador to the Holy See. Paris, September 1, 1939. 11.15 p.m.

You should inform the Sovereign Pontiff that the French Government, deeply alive to the thought that has inspired him, thanks him for his moving message.

The French Government have given their unreserved adherence to all the steps towards the maintenance of peace taken during these last days of August. It is their wish that these noble efforts may yet fulfill their purpose and allow a peace founded on justice and honour to prevail once more among all free nations.

Georges Bonnet.
