LONDON, November 24.
The "Evening Standard" says that Poland, in conjunction with Hungary, is planning to seize the remnant of Ruthenia and has massed seven divisions on the Ruthenian. border, with 40,000 more Polish troops on the Rumanian frontier to prevent Rumania assisting Czechoslovakia.
Germany, which hitherto has opposed the plan, has now informed Budapest and Warsaw that her objections will be withdrawn if, first, Danzig is freed from control of tho League of Nations, becoming in. effect a German city, and secondly, if Germans are granted a concession to build a railway and a trunk road to the Rumanian frontier.
Rumania is anxious to preserve the boundaries fixed in the Munich Agreement, and has warned Britain and France of the plan. The situation is being discussed at the Pari* Conference.
Meanwhile, conditions in Ruthenia are reported to be chaotic, owing to the activities of bands of Hungarian and Polish irregulars.
