1 received me yesterday and discussed with me Polish-Hungarian relations with utmost frankness. According to him we are at present separated by artificial barriers. The traditional friendship can only be resumed after these have been eliminated. He referred particularly to the Czech-Russian corridor. At present Poland is not yet in a position of openly opposing that plan. Neither can she openly take our side at the Peace Conference so long as her eastern frontiers are not determined. Until that question is settled, Poland can not undertake anything. In case of a Czech-Hungarian conflict Poland could only remain neutral. But Pilsudski assured me with great emphasis that Poland would never, not even under Allied pressure, turn against Hungary. No. 141. 1055/P0I.
