LESS CHANCE OF WAR
EFFECT OF.PACT
FREE CITY WEARS END
(Received August 23, 1.10 p.m.) LONDON, August 22. The Danzig correspondent of the British United Press says leading Nazis declared that the pact would undoubtedly hasten the realisation of Danzig's demand to join the Reich. It would also greatly lessen the possibilities of war arising out of a solution of the Danzig problem. The Nazi leader, Herr Foerster, addressing a congress of German jurists said: "You ■•will be able to say you were the last body to meet in the socalled Free City, which is nearing its end." Herr Foerster was in excellent spirits. Dr. Frank, President of the German Academy of Law, addressing the jurists, said that Herr Hitler, by bring- j ing Danzig to the Reich would lay the basis of a Jegal community of j peaceful nations and avert the danger i of war destroying Europe's culture. The allied or associated Powers which had established Danzig no longer existed.
