ABSTRACT

Romania declares that its policy of strict neutrality will continue. Germany alleges that the assassins were acting on British initiative, an allegation the British descibe as ‘pure invention’.

30 Sep. Professor Ignacy Moscicki resigns as Polish president, and a new ‘government in exile’ is formed in France. The new president, Władysław Raczkiewicz, appoints a ‘Cabinet of National Unity’ with General Władysław Sikorski, commander-in-chief of the Polish Army in France, as prime minister. The new government, which has its seat in Angers, is immediately recognised by Britain and France.
