19 September
My expectations are beginning to be fulfilled. Yesterday, late in the evening, the British government made a toothless statement, not even a protest, concerning our actions in Poland, and reaffirmed its determination to fight the war to the end. We shall see what Chamberlain says in parliament tomorrow.
Lord Davies came by. We had a long talk about the current situation. Davies takes quite a sensible view of things. When it comes to his aims for the future, however, he still lives in cloud cuckoo land. He brought me a memorandum where he proposes formulating the ‘war aims’ as the creation of a United States of Europe. He has already handed this memorandum to members of government and is now distributing it among diplomats.
The events of recent weeks have wreaked havoc with people’s minds. Gollancz is in despair: in his view, the Soviet–German pact killed off communism.


Page 626

Strachey, in connection with the same pact, came to Harry [Pollitt] with tears in his eyes. Cummings, writing in the News Chronicle (19 September), simply cannot make sense of things. Duff Cooper published an article in today’s Evening Standard about ‘Two Breeds of Bolshevism’ – communism and fascism. Every day I receive many letters – anonymous and otherwise – which show their authors to be in a quite incredible state of shock. Yes, the general muddle is on a colossal scale. And it is not easy to combat: there’s a lack of information and materials for that purpose. Besides, the entire press, especially on the Labour side, is now against us. The Daily Herald is the worst of all.
[Attached to the diary is a cutting from the Daily Telegraph of 19 September entitled ‘Britain Stands by Poland. Pledge Unaffected by New Invasion’.]
