The Embassy has received reliable information that the German Embassy in London has been informed by Chamberlain that Great Britain is prepared to release to the Reich most of the Czech gold reserve which was on deposit in London.… This news is surprising to Reich officials who look on it with somewhat amused disdain. They interpret it as an indication that Chamberlain is still inclined to gestures of “appeasement” and a belief that financial enticements can be used to buy off the Reich.
