Franco-British Exchanges

Paris, Mar. 18.

The Slovakian situation was discussed here this evening by the Foreign Minister, M. Georges Bonnet, and Sir Eric Phipps. British Ambassador, it was revealed in authoritative quarters.

The French and British Governments remain determined not to interfere whatever the developments may be because they have not. yet extended their guarantees of Czechoslovakia's borders, provided for by the Munch Agreement.

Moreover, it was stated tonight, they will not extend these guarantees until certain conditions foreseen at Munich last September are fulfilled.—Havas.
