"And to do so without worrying about any German guarantee of the Czech frontiers! Apparently there had been little worry about this in Paris and London. Four months had gone by since Munich, and still Hitler had not honored his word to add Germany's guarantee to that given by Britain and France. Finally on February 8 an Anglo-French note verbale was presented in Berlin stating that the two governments "would now be glad to learn the views of the German Government as to the best way of giving effect to the understanding reached at Munich in regard to the guarantee of Czechoslovakia."

From today's UK - Telegraph there is an interesting bit about half way down that gives some insite into Yugoslavia's take on the Czech situation. They have already given up on help from France.

There is also an interesting bit on the sub article "Spirit of Freedom". Remember last week Roosevelt made a speech in which he alarmed the press by committing that the U.S. will support with military aid any of the western powers if they are attacked (I know I'm paraphrasing). The New York Times referenced the speech as "destablizing" to Europe and could "provoke" Hitler. The UK press seems to see his committment as just the opposite. Pretty interesting.
