...Rhineland as fast as possible made the interest of His Majesty's Government in the British White Paper diminish even further. To find out exactly where the British stood a French delegate to the League Council in London, famed trial Lawyer Joseph Paul-Boncour, visited Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden, then flew to Paris. Said he: "The only answer I received was a movement of the head-neither positive nor negative...
Briton against Briton? With the Rhineland crisis thus tangled some European wiseacres believed a story that Ambassador von Ribbentrop had banged his fist on Mr. Anthony Eden's desk and uttered threats.
