"The Times" Warsaw correspondent says the Xazi demonstration at Danzig to-night caused no excitement in Poland's capital. Indeed, the Nazi organisers unwittingly demonstrated Polish tolerance to the world.

Herr 3liller, counsellor to the Foreign Ministry in Berlin, attended a sitting o f the staff of the Nazi party, which be%m in Danzig at 2.5 p.m. and 'lasted into "the night and resumed in the morning.

The Polish Press is unconcerned and says that everybody knows how Poland will react if anything serious is attempted. It points out that the Polish Army can easily reach Danzig before German troops.

Trustworthy non-Polish investigators who visited the regions in which Germans were allegedly victims of terrorism, report that the allegations are without foundation.

Press reports from Warsaw vesterdav stated that 40.000 young "Germans, ostensibly tourists, had entered Danzig in the past ten days. They were expected to participate in the parade of Danzig's Brown Shirts and Black Guards, which the authorities did not seek to prevent.

Political circles did not expect a "putsch" at present.

An official communique issued iu Warsaw said that any attempt to alter the present state of affairs in Danzig would result in immediate action by the Polish military forces, which were at present in readiness for war.
