NEGOTIATION POSSIBILITY

LONDON, July 11.
"Nothing surprising, and nothing new," sums up the opinion of the official organ of the Nazi Party, on Mr. Chamberlain's speech. It adds:— "The utterances were misplaced because they completely ignore the Danzigers' rights of self-determina-tion. The solution will not be decided from the platform of the House of Commons." ..
A Nazi spokesman in Danzig declared that Mr. Chamberlain's statement did not exclude the possibility of negotiation. In Rome the speech is unfavourably received, though it is regarded as milder and even prudent in tone. "II Messagerb" says: "The sword which waved threateningly in London amid the deafening racket and warlike chatter woven round a supposedly imminent Danzig tragedy hasj been prudently resheathed.". j In Warsaw today the semi-official! newspaper "Gazeta Polska" has the headline: "Britain is unchanged in her Decisive Attitude, and Emphasises she is faithful to her Pledges."
