MR. CRESWELL said the Foreign Office were anxious that there should be the fullest possible exchange of information with the French. He suggested in view of the Cabinet decision+ to give the French all possible assistance in building up their Air Force, there should be no restrictions on passing air intelligence to the French, provided this did not endanger our defence. CAPTAIN CLANCHY said that the Admiralty shared, with the Americans, a library of German Naval documents in London. The Admiralty was opposed to allowing the French access to this library, and he believed that the Americans had similar objections.
