DRASTIC REGULATIONS ISSUED.
RESTRICTING INDIVIDUAL
FREEDOM
(Received This Day, >9.15 a.m.) DANZIG.* July 18. Herr Arthur Greiser (Nazi President of the Senate) has introduced drastic individual regulations to restrict individual freedom. They are considered tantamount to the abolition of the constitution. Herr Greiser is expected to take action against the Opposition newspapers. One of the regulations is understood to be based on an order issued in 1933, granting extraordinaiy powers to the Nazi Senate, which the Hague Court of International Justice declared was unconstitutional. Another decree restricts freedom of the Opposition parties anti extends the period a person may be kept in protective custody from three weeks to three months. Mr Sean Lester (the League’s Commissioner) has left on a fishing expedition. He is unable to take action against the regulations until the Opposition complains of injustice.
