LONDON", August 22.

The official German spokesman at Berlin declared that Germany is preserving a waiting attitude until the Russian pact is signed. Danzig must come back to the Reich. Interesting developments are ahead, he remarked.

He declared that a pact with Russia was not extraordinary. It was only natural that Germany should strive to break through the encirclers. "The difference between our action and Britain's," he said, "is that we are not concluding a pact with Moscow aimed against Britain, whereas Britain tried to conclude one aimed against Germany."

It is emphasised that the pact does not affect domestic policy. It is pointed out that Turkey is on excellent terms with Moscow, but does not- tolerate a single Communist at home.

The Berlin representative of the British Associated Press points out that Germany has non-aggression pacts with all Poland's neighbours, meaning that none can oppose her if she decides to strike at Poland.

Herr von Ribbentrop, accompanied by Dr. Gaus and an interpreter, Herr Schmidt, will stay overnight at Konigsberg and will arrive in Moscow tomorrow. It is explained that Russia and Germany each will maintain its own political philosophy, but the two Powers will adjust their political relations. German Public Nonplussed. The Berlin correspondent of the British United Press says the public is nonplussed at the news, which is published with large headlines, but without explanation. It is still generally believed that Herr Hitler will get what he wants without war, but there is no doubt the German nation will fight to the last man if necessary.

Not a single report of an anti-German tendency appears in the Polish Press, which gives the impression that not only is there no tension between Germany and Poland, but no questions are at issue, between them. The only comment on the Russo-German pact is: "What will become of the GermanJapanese Alliance?"

The . leader of the Danzig Nazis, Herr Albert Foerster, addressing the congress of German jurists, said: "You will be able to say you were the last body to meet in the so-called Free City, which is nearing its end." Herr Foerster was in excellent spirits.

Dr. Frank, addressing the jurists, said that Herr Hitler, by bringing Danzig to the Reich, will lay the basis of a legal community of peaceful nations and avert the danger of war that would destroy Europe's culture. The Allied and Associated Powers which had established Danzig no longer exist.
