lie cited I'oli-h utterances as proof thai Poland wished to establish a protectorate over Dan/.ig. and declared: "It niu-t be clear to us, the whole of the German people, as well as to sensible foreigners, that such constantly repeated Pnli-h vituperation cannot continue. We have done everything possible in recent weeks to defend ourselves and answer attacks of everv kind.

"Threats of war. however challenging, will not frighten Danzig, because Unpeople. on the basis of previous experience. have faith in Nazi leadership, and know it will do the right thing at the right time." Britain and France Denounced. Herr Koerstcr denounced British and French meddling in Danzig's affairs. Danzig had-been a. purely German city since its foundation, he said. "We fear Marshal S'migly-Kyd/.'s '.inns as little as our forefathers feared the cannon of the Polish King. Our rights of selfdetermination were violated by the Versailles Treaty, after which Danzig was reduced -to second place, Gdynia proving that Danzig gets only economic disadwintages and not advantages from Pnla nil.

"Danzjgers are absolutely clear and firm in their conviction that liberation is at hand. Danzig will again return to the Keich. Wc can do nothing better than swear that we. will hold together and resist every attack on holy German noil. The Fuehrer will stand by our side in the event of a Polish attack."

At the conclusion of Hen- Foerster's speech a telegram was sent to HenHitler, stating: "My Fuehrer, the tens of thousands of Danzigers assembled protest against the threats to bombard Danzig by cannon and look to you confidently and greet you with unshakable loyalty." The large market was jammed with HO.OOO pic. and there were another 20.(100 in adjacent streets, while .">O.OOO assembled at, various points in the suburbs, where loud-speakers were installed. Foreign Statesmen Hissed. The crowds frequently interrupted with the Nazi slogan. "One Folk. One Reich, One Fuehrer,'' and shouts of, "We want to return to the Keich." 'I hey roared with laughter when Herr Focr ster cited the opinions of British and French, including Mr. Lloyd George and Mr. Churchill, to the effect that the Corridor was a mistake, and hissed when he read out inflammatory statements from Polish newspapers, also the recent threat bv 'Marshal Smigly-Bydz that Danzig wiiul'd be the first stage of the crusade against Germany.

Herr Koerstcr, before his speech, told the Danzig correspondent of the Paris newspaper, "Kxcelsior : "I a" 1 reserving a surprise' for my speech. It is elcarei than ever that we must return to tlu< Keich. and as quickly as possible. We do not want war. but it is inadmissible that Britain and France should encourage war by supporting Poland, who is too bellicose. My speech will prove to the world that our claims are jusL I know our appeal will be rejected. I hen we will act, if that is the only way by which we can obtain satisfaction.
