<P> The foregoing statement and formal act of recognition have guided the policy of His Majesty's Government in regard to Czecho - Slovakia, but in order to avoid any possible misunderstanding, I desire to declare on behalf of His Majesty's Government in the United Kingdom that as Germany has deliberately destroyed the arrangements concerning Czecho - Slovakia reached in 1938, in which His Majesty's Government in the United Kingdom participated, His Majesty's Government regard themselves as free from any engagements in this respect . At the final settlement of the Czecho - Slovak frontiers to be reached at the end of the war they will not be influenced by any changes effected in and since 1938 . </P> <P> To which Masaryk replied as follows: </P> <P> I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your note of the 5th August, 1942, and I avail myself of this opportunity to convey to your Excellency, on behalf of the Czecho - Slovak Government and of myself, as well as in the name of the whole Czecho - Slovak people who are at present suffering so terribly under the Nazi yoke, the expression of our warmest thanks . </P> <P> Your Excellency's note emphasises the fact that the formal act of recognition has guided the policy of His Majesty's Government in regard to Czecho - Slovakia, but, in order to avoid any possible misunderstanding, His Majesty's Government now desire to declare that, as Germany has deliberately destroyed the arrangements concerning Czecho - Slovakia reached in 1938, in which His Majesty's Government in the United Kingdom participated, His Majesty's Government regard themselves as free from any engagements in this respect . At the final settlement of the Czecho - Slovak frontiers to be reached at the end of the war, they will not be influenced by any changes effected in and since 1938 . </P>
