This was done, it was stated, under instructions of the British intelligence serv ices.

The official Polish press agency issued a communique which said: "Representatives of official dip lomatic posts of France in Poland have been abusing their diplomatic privileges and rights and have vio lated international law in carrying out sabotage, diversionary and es pionage activities on a large scale directed against the essential interests of the Polish state." The communique named Avmar de Brossin de Mere, former secretary-archivist at the French embassy, as the chief plotter. He was expelled from Poland November 23. The Polish press agency said de Mere acted under the instructions of British intelligence services and had organized a closely-knit group to obtain state secrets or otherwise damage Poland.
