The Ambassador in Czechoslovakia (Steinhardt) to the Secretary of State
[Received August 3—2:42 p.m.]
148. In concert with Soviet Ambassador66 and British Chargé notes were delivered yesterday by British and myself containing substance of agreement as outlined in your 93 of July 31. Soviet Ambassador had not yet received any instructions but stated that when instructions were received he would follow same course.
Masaryk67 was pleased with agreement except for request to suspend further expulsions which he feared might cause unrest among local population.
Czechoslovak Government will publicize agreement when made public by Berlin Conference, but Masaryk prefers omit mention of suspension of further expulsions unless full information released by conference.
