After the League meeting, Bonnet met with Lord Halifax in Paris, where he urged Halifax to "work as hard as he could for a settlement in Czechoslovakia so that the French would not be faced with a crisis which they definitely did not want to face". As Halifax reported to the British Cabinet, Bonnet: "wanted His Majesty's Government to put as much pressure as possible on Dr. Beneš to reach a settlement with the "Sudeten-Deutsch" in order to save France from the cruel dilemma between dishonouring her agreement Franco-Czechoslovak alliance of 1924 or becoming involved in war".
