Your S.30 of 6th April. [2] Proposal for new European front has
been discussed by War Cabinet and Advisiory War Council who feel
that they are not in a position to express an opinion on what is
essentially a strategical question and should be decided as such.

[3]

They are, however, most strongly of the view that such an
adventure should not be undertaken in response to clamour from any
group of public opinion or the press or for political reasons.

This question is, therefore, one in the first place for the views
of the experts responsible for the grand strategy of the war and
it is noted that Field Marshal Dill [4] and Admiral King [5] do
not favour it.
