DANZIG AGAIN

GOEBBELS' PROMISE RETURN TO REICH WARNING TO WORLD SNEEKS AT BRITAIN By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright (Received Juno 19, 12.'20 a.m.) DANZIG, Juno 18

Calling on Danzig Germans to "hold out pending the return of Danzig to the Reich," Dr. Goebbcls, Nazi Minister of Propaganda, in an impromptu speech, declared: "The world should know from past experience that the Fuehrer does not make empty speeches. The world commits a dangerous mistake it it believes the Fuehrer shrinks from threats or surrenders to blackmail. Therefore you can look confidently to the future.

"Germany stands on your side, just as you remain loyal to it," said Dr. Goebbels. "The lying, war-inciting press in London and Paris asserts that you do not want to return to the Reich. I came in order to strengthen your determination. Only a jealous and unreasonable world can undertake to resist the urge of one people to join another." Dr. Goebbels said that according to Warsaw, towns at river mouths belong to the countries through which tho rivers-flow. Therefore, Rotterdam belonged to Germany becanso the Rhine was German. This method of solving matters was lame and almost comical.

"Poland declares the Oder River is her frontier," ho continued. "It is surprising that she does not claim the Rhino, where she could meet her new British allies, who regard tho Rhino as their frontier.

"The British Foreign Secretary, Viscount Halifax, declares ho Avants the Danzig question settled in a friendly manner. Therefore Britain gives Poland a blank cheque and attempts to encircle Italy and Germany in order to revive the policy of 1914. They err if they believe they are confronted by a weak, bourgeois Germany." Tho crowd punctuated tho speech with cries of: "The Fuehrer shall conio to Danzig! One Fuehrer, one people, one Reich!"
