"DAY OF THE SEA"
POLAND CELEBRATES
NECESSITY FOR ACCESS TO
BALTIC
WARSAW, June 29
;. Poland is celebrating the "Day of the Sea" throughout the country today, when demonstrations and speeches stress the necessity of Polish access to the Baltic Sea.
The opinion is held here that a showdown between Germany and Poland is not likely to take place till late in the summer. Government circes are surprisingly calm and consider the recent German action in Danzig to be merely gestures.
As a climax to Navy Week 80,000 persons, including a delegation from Danzig, demonstrated today in Granwald Square, Gdynia, and took a mass oath to maintain Poland's access to the Baltic Sea. The square commemorates the Polish victory over the Teutons.
'.' President Moscicki, in a broadcast, said: "The nation's war-won coast and corridor are the air and the sun of our '"■ existence. We will preserve this outlet no matter how great our adversary and how, heavy the pressure."
