POLAND AND DANZIG
HIGH COMMISSIONER UPHELD
[BY CABLE —PRESS ASSN. —COPYRIGHT.]
(Recd. Jan. 19, 2.30 p.m.). GENEVA, January 18
Poland threatened to walk out of the League, if M. Burkhardt resigned the League High Commissionership at Danzig. It is believed that Germany is prompting the truculence. At a private meeting of the three Danzig Committee representatives, England and France did not favour the resignation, while Sweden favoured it. Dr. Goldmann, the accredited Palestine representative to the League, urged Burckhardt’s removal on the ground that the Danzig Constitution was violated by the expulsion of Jews. It is expected that Burckhardt will remain.
ANTI-COMINTERN TA-CT
LONDON. January 19
“The Times’s” Warsaw correspondent points out. that Poland’s long and common frontier with Russia makes her position different from other members of the Anti-Comintern bloc, the joining whereof might precipitate events for which Germany is preparing, but some open re-affirmation of Poland’s anti-Communism may be required in next week's programme.
