LONDON, June 28.

' The Berlin correspondent of the British United Press says that high German sources admit Danzig is strengthening her defence forces, but deny reports, from Paris and Warsaw that 4000 storm troopers and troops in plain clothes have arrived in the city from East Prussia. They also deny the report from Paris that Herr Hitler is planning a coup in Danzig at the weekend, declaring that Danzig would return to the Reich without bloodshed. « *

"Our policy is to refrain from any move precipitating a general war," said an official, and he added: "We have only to wait." The "Daily Telegraph" says: "If Herr Hitler listened more 'to wholesome counsel than to Dr. Goebbels he would realise that 'the British nation was never more in earnest, never more of one mind, and never nearer the limits of its patience. He will make a great mistake if he persuades himself that the long suffering of the British and French democracies is merely the result of degeneracy and cowardice. War is not yet inevitable, but it hangs on an incalculable hazard—the caprice or obsession of one man."

The "Daily Herald"-says: "It is clear that Herr Hitler is planning1 new" mischief in Danzig.; He is hot concerned with a settlement,, but is anxious fpr a new triumph. Danzig,; like the Sudetenland, would be merely ', a-: step-ping-stone; '-. Herr ; Hitler /aims at the Corridor, the Polish city of Poznan, and Silesia, and the -dismemberment; of Poland as he dismembered Czecho-Slovakia. Such a; challenge cannot be; avoided a second time by the methods of Munich." - ;'"/K'
