POLAND MUST SAY WHERE SHE STANDS.

DANZIG QUESTION. Believed Basis Of Bargain Revealed. STANDS TO LOSE IN WAR. United Press Association.—Copyright. (Received 11 a.m.) LOXDOX, March 30. "The Times" Berlin correspondent says the German Government regards it essential that Poland should now declare where she stands. Consequently conversations between Herr von Ribbentrop and the Polish Ambassador here, coinciding with those between the German Ambassador and Colonel Beck in Warsaw, may be assumed to be most important, i

Poland so far as can be gathered has a chance of collaboration with the Reich oil the basis of the sacrifice of Danzig, not necessarily immediately, and the concession of additional facilities to the Reich across the Corridor. The Reich is prepared to guarantee Poland's outlet to the sea. There are also suggestions of a frontier guarantee and the extension of the treaty of friendship for a further five years. Poland may regard these terms as preferable to conflict, in which she stands to lose even more than indicated. The Polish Foreign Office spokesman denied that Germany has ever raised the question of Danzig's future with Poland, says a Warsaw message. Negotiations have never been 'held on the subject. The International Federation of Trade Unions issued a declaration calling on Britain, France. Russia and Poland to immediately enter into mutual guarantees for full and unqualified support in the event of further German and Italian aggression. A Kaunas message says the Lithuanian Parliament ratified the treaty ceding Memel, "Taking into consideration the present situation." WORLD SITUATION. * COMMONS DEBATE MONDAY.
