The Department of State to the British Embassy
The Department of State acknowledges with appreciation the British Embassy’s memorandum of October 17, 1940,33 containing a detailed statement of the views of the British Government in regard to relations between Thailand and Indochina.
The Department of State is gratified to note that the British Government has continued to express to the Thai Government opposition to any attempt to change the status quo in Indochina by force. The American Government for its part has consistently endeavored to impress upon the Thai Government the advantage of refraining from any action involving alteration of the status quo other than through peaceful means.
