Alexander Werth to W. P. Crozier.
Location: Paris.
He expects July and August to be busy, therefore, he proposes taking his holidays on 1 July. Would that suit Lambert? Gillie could deputise if Lambert cannot. He has spoken to some of Daladier's people, who are disappointed at the British attitude, which has largely embroiled them in bureaucracy. The French Ambassadors in Europe are pushing for a stronger line. He has sent them a copy of his new book. P.S. Does he want an article on French recruits, about barracks, drill and so forth, and the Maginot Line? It might be interesting with regard to conscripts in England.
