The German government has sent the Polish government a note of protest pointing to acts of violence and damage inflicted on German citizens in Upper Silesia by Polish policy. The note asks the Polish government to take measures to avert the threatening situation in Silesia; otherwise it places the entire responsibility for the damage and wrongs on the Polish government.

The Polish government replied to this note that it sees no need to take any extraordinary measures; that the life and property of all persons living in Poland are well guaranteed by the Polish Constitution, and that the Silesian authorities act "strictly by the law and legally"…

How the conflict will develop further is not known.
