A Slovak delegation which is negotiating a new trade agreement is staying at the same lio tel as Herr Hitler. The Danzig Nazi's week-end celebrations in Danzig wound up last night with a pnrado of 2000 Danzig Storm Troopers and 6000 from East Prussia, says the Australian Associated Press. This was the first time the East Prussians had exercised in Danzig. The joint display was obviously intended as a demonstration agninst Polnnd.
In retaliation for the recent confiscation of German nationals' homes in Polish Silesia, the German secret police seized the headquarters of the Polish minority in Ratibor, which they presented to the Hitler Youth Movement.
The Polish Government has rejected the Danzig Nazi Senate's demand for a reduction in the number of Polish Customs officials in the Free City. . The Polish Foreign Minister, Colonel Beck, says Poland will not tolerate the Senate's intervention in Customs matters. If Polish officials are in any way hampered he will not only further increase their number but order economic reprisals against the Free City.
