DANZIG DICTATOR
DRASTIC REGULATIONS
[BY CABLE —PKESS ASSN.—COPYBIGHT.]
DANZIG, July 18.
Herr Greiser (Senate President) has introduced drastic regulations to restrict individual freedom. They are considered tantamount to the abolition of the constitution. He is expected to take action against the Opposition newspapers.
One of Greiser’s regulations is understood to be based on the order issued in 1933 granting extraordinary powers to (lie Nazi Senate, which The Hague Court declared unconstitutional.
Another decree restricts the freedom of the Opposition parties, and extends the period a person may be kept in protective custody from three weeks to three months. Mr Lester has departed on a fishing expedition. He will be unable to take action against the regulations until the Opposition complain of injustice.
COMMISSIONER’S REPORT.
(Recd. July 20, 1 p.m.). PARIS, July 19
“L’lntransigeant” reports that when Mr. Lester sent his secretary to telegraph a protest to the League against Greiser’s decrees, the clerk- replied that the telegram would not please Forster, the Nazi leader. Accordingly, Mr. Lester was forced to motor across the frontier and send a cablegram from Gdynia.
