...White Paper the British Government printed the obituary. It noted that "Germany has deliberately destroyed arrangements concerning Czecho-Slovakia reached in 1938," that "the Prime Minister has already stated in a message broadcast to the Czecho-Slovak people Sept. 30, 1940 the attitude of His Majesty's Government with regard to the arrangements."
