The Secretary of State to the Minister in Rumania ( Gunther )

186. Authoritative Polish military personage recently in Rumania states in Paris that Rumania is now filled with OGPU and Gestapo agents. He recently observed large concentration of Soviet troops in Polish territory on northern Rumania frontiers. He is convinced that a Soviet entry into Rumania will follow the present Finnish crisis.

The Polish Ambassador in Paris believes that a Soviet attack on Rumania or the entry of Russian troops into the country with the consent of the Rumanian Government would result in murder of members of the former Polish Government by either the OGPU or the Gestapo.

Is Moscicki still in Rumania?

Please comment on the foregoing.
