MOST PAINFUL.

POLISH PROBLEM. Settlement Terms Offered And Demanded. " DANZIG IS GERMAN." United Press Association.—Copyright. (Received 1- noon.) BERLIN, April 28. Herr Hitler, referring to Poland, stated: "There is little to be said regarding Polo-German relations. The strange "way in which the Corridor has been marked out is primarily designed to prevent the establishment of Polo-German understanding. This problem is perhaps the most painful for Germany. Danzig is German and wishes to belong to Germany. "Oil the contrary, Danzig has contracts with Poland, admittedly forced 011 her by the dictates of Versailles. "Since the League of Xations is now represented by a High Commissioner (l3r. Karl Burkhardt) —incidentally a man of extraordinary tact —Danzig must come up for discussion at the latest with the gradual extinction of this calamitous institution." The Fuehrer revealed that several months ago he offered Poland:—(1) That Danzig return, as a free city, into the framework of the Reich; (2) that liermany receive a route across the Corridor with a railway at her disposal, possessing the same extraterritorial status for Germany as the Corridor for Poland.

In return Germany was prepared: (1) 'I o recognise all Polish rights in Danzig; (2) to ensure Poland a free harbour in Danzig of any size desired, and also completely free access to the sea; (3) final acceptance of the existing Polo-German boundaries; (4) to conclude a 25-year Polo-German nonaggression treaty; (.3) guarantee the independence of Slovakia jointly by Germany, Poland and Hungary, meaning renunciation of unilateral German hegemony in this territory. Poland Rejects Nazi Offer. Herr Hitler added that Poland rejected the offer, declaring that it was prepared only: (1) To negotiate concerning a substitute for the League's Commissioner; (2) to consider transport facilities across the Corridor. Referring to Britain's guarantee to Poland, lie said: "This obligation is contrary to the agreement I made with Marshal Pilsudski, for which I regard the agreement unilaterally infringed by Poland and no longer in existence. I sent a communication to Poland to this effect. Should Poland wish to reach fresh arrangements governing relations with Germany, I can but welcome the idea provided arrangements are based on absolutely clear obligations by both parties. In equal measure Germany is at any time willing to undertake such obligations and fulfil them."
