A FRESH BLAST
ANTI-POLISH FEELING
THE GERMAN PRESS
MINORITY COMPLAINT
(By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright.) (Received August 12, 11.30 a.m.)
LONDON, August 11.
The German Press. has begun a new anti-Polish blast, and is giving prominence to the alleged maltreatment of German minorities.
The Berlin correspondent of "The Times" says that great disappointment was expressed at the British reception of Herr Foerster's speech in Danzig. Nazi circles complain that it was minimised by the London Press. The Warsaw correspondent of "The Times" says that official quarters maintain that the speech has fallen flat. An official communique issued in Warsaw states that a German .was killed in a skirmish on the Polish side of the Silesian frontier. It is alleged that three armed Germans attacked a Polish guard who challenged them for illegally crossing the frontier. Other guards rushed up and firing broke out. The Germans fled, leaving behind 12 revolvers and 1000 rounds of ammunition.
