BEKLIX, August 1

"We assure Mr. Chamberlain that I Danzig -will return to the Reich, unaffected by theatrical questions or debate in the House of Commons," says the German news service. It adds: "Mr. Chamberlain's declarations exceed the limit of patience when he, in the face of continuous action against the lives and property of Germans in Poland, finds words of praise for the peaceendangering attitude of the Poles. "We also note Mr. Chamberlain's confirmation that Britain and America are playing the same game against Japan." The Berlin newspapers without exception abuse Mr. Chamberlain and his ■liaise oi Poland's restraint, declaring that it needs iron insolence to condone anti-German excesses well known to Britain. Reinforcing tiie warning that the lull may not endure, the German armed forces are commencing unprecedented manoeuvres. A huge area of Germany is closed to aircraft while warplanes exercise. Foreign air attaches have not been invited, contrary to custom. Mass Manoeuvres Reported. Mass manoeuvres of motorised troops will follow, over Sudetenland, Silesia, Bohemia and south-east Germany right up to the Tolish frontier.

Italy is holding similar exercises over a 220-mile front from the French Alps to Verona. The advance is being made as realistic as possible with air attacks and the ''destruction and repair of roads and bridges." The Chief of the Hungarian General Staff will attend.

Poland has begun the imposition of economic sanctions, and has banned the import of fat products from Danzig. Recently Poland restricted imports of Dan~ lish, in the "herring and margarine war" which evoked protests from the Danzig Senate against the violation of trade agreements.

The Polish police have arrested 40 Ukrainians in south-east Poland. It is alleged they belong to an underground movement fostered by the Gestapo, the German secret police.

HOPES FOR PEACE.

Prepared

Germany Still Not Prepar

For War. CHANCES TEN TO ONE AGAINST. Independent Coble Service. LONDON, August 1. Cabling to the "Daily Express" from The Hague, Mr. Joseph M. Patterson, proprietor of the New York "Daily News." said: "I have just returned from a 10-day trip to Germany. I think the chances are 10 to 1 against a general European war before September, and five to one against a war this year." Mr. Patterson bases his forecast on the condition of the crops and the condition of public works. He reports that German Army motorised units are seen everywhere. There is no doubt of the Army's loyalty to Herr Hitler, because the Fuehrer has restored the Army's old dignity. Germans look well nourished, but there is no food to spare.

WERE CALLED NAZIS,

Hollywood Couple Sues Actor

For Damages.

ATTACKED IN STREET

HOLLYWOOD, August 1

A Hollywood couple sued the cinema actor, Eddie Cantor, and others for 751,000 dollars damages, alleging that they were called Nazis and beaten after a wireless broadcast by Cantor.

Complainants, namely, Charles Gollob and his wife, proprietors of flats, alleged that they left the broadcasting studio on March 28 remarking that they wouM not listen to a "political broadcast" following Cantor's programme. A woman employee then called the guards, who abused complainants, belittled them and termed them Nazis.

When they reached the street, a man struck Gollob with a black-jack when he attempted to protect his wife from blows by another man, who struck her on the face and knocked her down.

A radio broadcaster, Bert Gordon, the Columbia Broadcasting Company, and the Reynolds Tobacco Company, which sponsors Cantor's programme, are named as co-defendants.
