LONDON, July 12.
The Warsaw correspondent of "The Times" states that the Polish Press records an apparent relaxation of the tension throughout Europe, including Danzig, though it is ■emphasised that nothing has happened fundamentally to ease the situation*
The "Gazeta Polska" declares:—
"The difference between Germany in 1914 and today is that then the German Government and people both wanted war because they were confident of victory, and today the Germans realise that there is no chance of :* lightning victory and that all hope for an extension of Lebensraum (space to live) by peaceful means. Such a hope is baseless."
The Latvian and Estonian Press expresses satisfaction that Britain will respect their security and neutrality, adding that Britain's word can be trusted.
