UNITED KINGDOM: Chamberlain and Halifax receive details of Ciano's meetings and consider the idea of sending a German-speaking Briton to negotiate directly with Hitler.

GERMANY: Hitler tells his senior officers that he intends to deal with Poland in a quick war.

Hitler also orders Ribbentrop to telegraph von der Schulenberg in Moscow, begging him to secure 'a speedy clarification of German-Russian relations.'
Ribbentrop says also that he is prepared to fly to Moscow and present Hitler's views to Stalin 'because only through such a direct discussion can a change be brought about, and it should not be impossible therefore to lay the foundation for a final settlement of German-Russian relations.'

U.S.S.R.: Moscow: Ambassador von der Schulenberg receives instruction for a meeting with Molotov next day, and Marshal Klement Voroshilov, Commissioner for Defence, puts his central question to the Anglo-French delegates: If Russia were to fight on behalf of Great Britain or France, Russian troops will have to cross either Poland or Romania, so will the Red Army be allowed to march across Poland? Knowing it is almost impossible that the Poles or Rumanians will agree, Drax is unable to answer. The ideal offer from the Anglo-French point of view would have been a steady supply of hardware manufactured in the Soviet Union.
