RELAXING OF DANZIG TENSION IS DENIED.

GERMAN VIEW

All Rumours Of Negotiation Without Foundation.

BRITAIN MUST DROP POLAND. TTnltpQ Press Association.—Copyright. (Received l p.m.) LONDON, July 18. It is firmly denied in London that there has been any discussion of the possibilities of negotiations between (leiniany and Poland. Humours of negot iat ions between Britain and (■erniuny are equally without foundation. Both London and Paris are satisfied with Poland's attitude. Poland insists that nll v gesture to <li~cii-s the posit inn imi.-t coine from ( iiM'imuiy.

A \\ illielmst rasse spokesmnn emphatically contradicted the impression of relaxation of the Danzig tension, declaring that nothing had happened to justify such a conclusion.

Anti-Polish propaganda in the German Press continues, declaring that Germany's so-called change of attitude is merely the thinking of others.

Dr. Ley, Xazi Labour Front leader, told German workers that Britain was preparing a brutal blockade of Italy and Germany if they did not submit to British leadership. She had purchased Poland as cannon fodder and would like to purchase Russia.

She was prepared to use money to sack Germany's economic superiority and starve the German workers and to force them to their knees, but British threats would not shake determination of the Danzig Nazis.

It is stated in Berlin that Britain's only opportunity of improving the position is to cease backing Poland.

No date has been fixed for the British and Polish financial agreement, as the Poles want freedom to huy where they can, in the event of military needs.
