NAZIS' TRIUMPH

DANZIG ELECTION CAN FORM GOVERNMENT THE STRONGEST PARTY • RELATIONS WITH POLAND DELICATE SITUATION By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright (Received May 29, 5.5 p.m.) LONDON, May 29 Despatches from Danzig state that in the general election yesterday the Nazis captured 35 of the 72 seats in the Volkstag and almost 50 per cent of tho votes, which were as follow:

Nazis . . . . . . "107,619 Social Democrats . . . . 38,000 Centre Party . . . . 31,500 Communists . . . . 14,800 German Nationalists . . 13,600 Poles 6,700 Others 2,600 Polling was completed without disturbance, a fact which is attributed to tho Nazis' conviction that they would receive 70 per cent of the votes. There was much dissatisfaction when the authorities refused to permit voting by thousands of former citizens of Danzig who travelled from Germany—some in motor-coaches and others by train with free railway tickets—because they are no longer residqnts of the I'ree City. This defeated tho German plan to secure an overwhelming majority. Tho Danzig correspondent of the News Chronicle says the Nazis' triumph will enable them to form a Government immediately with tho alliance of a smaller group. The Danzig correspondent of the Times say„s tho Nazis captured nearly all tho votes of the small farmers and agricultural workers, also those of largo numbers of harbour labourers who previously were Socialists or Communists. It is regrettable, says this correspondent, that the President, Dr. Ernst Ziehm, who has proved his capabilities both in Danzig and at Geneva, must relinquish his post as the delicate negotiations with Poland cannot be treated lightly or in a threatening way. The commercial existence of Danzig depends upon peaceful relations with Poland. The Nazis are certain to insist upon a change in tho Polish Corridor, the correspondent adds.
