The report notes fear that Hitler and Stalin may strike a pact if they meet in eastern Europe, while the disintegration of Czecho-Slovakia undermines disarmament proposals floated by British Prime Minister Chamberlain and worsens the plight of Jews in central Europe as they besiege foreign consulates.
Slovakia report notes Chamberlain recalled to British cabinet to complete work on a Palestine plan. The aim would further diminish Jews chances of finding a haven in the Holy Land, reflecting pressure over policy amid ongoing tensions.

Britain had gifted 3 million pounds to Czechoslovakia since Munich with an 8 million pound loan, though many doubted it would leave the Bank of England.
