...London Loyalist Ambassador Pablo de Azcarate was called to the Foreign Office and handed his walking papers. In Paris Loyalist President Manuel Azańa left the Spanish Embassy, where he had lived since the fall of Catalonia, and took a train for the village of Collonges, on the Swiss border, where he expects to live in exile. He had left behind his resignation, to be made public at an "opportune moment." As a last gesture of international courtesy a lone French Foreign Office underling saw Don Manuel...

Poland is neither a small nor a large nation. With a population of only 34,000,000, with a coastline of only 75 miles, with undeveloped industries and with its economy predominantly agricultural, it can scarcely convince Europe that it is a great power. At the same time it is not so weak as to become a natural pawn for one of Europe's ideological combinations...
