GERMAN SOLUTION AT

DANZIG

NAZI CONFIDENCE IN WINNING

ITALIAN PRESS COUNSEL TO POLAND

(By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright.) (Received August 21, 10.10 a.m.) LONDON, August 20. "The Danzig hour now approaches," the Nazi leader in Danzig, Herr Foerster, told a uniformed gathering of police at Danzig. "When the hour comes we will win. The Fuhrer will solve the Danzig Corridor problem as he did that in the Sudetenland.'' / A message from Rome states that the publicist Signor Virginio Gayda says: "Poland has only a few more days to reflect. Does she want to bang the door against a reasonable solution, or to be overwhelmed in an adventure which will threaten her independence? Her real friends should counsel her to turn from England and France and try at the eleventh hour to make direct contact with Germany. It is evident that the present tension cannot last longer than a few days. Other Italian newspapers predict that Herr Hitler, either at Tannenberg or at Nuremburg, will deliver an ultimatum to come to terms or fight. The Italian Press campaign significantly has been toned down, and newspapers are now adjuring "our old friends the Poles" to negotiate with Germany without delay. Earlier reports indicated that the situation at the weekend has not favoured optimism, and that Italy increasingly favours a four-Power conference, but Germany and Poland are not interested.
