Tn accordance with the previous arrangements, the Chief of Staffs of the Czecho-Slovak'mn «nd Yugoslav armies, accompanied by representatives of the principal sections, have arrived to begin a five days’ conference at the co-

ordination of the Little Entente’s defences.

The problems being discussed include* unification of armaments and the establishment of new armament works in Rumania and Yugo-Slavia, which will co-operate with the Czechoslovakian factories.

ALLEGE TERRORISM! (Aust. & N.Z. Cable Assn.) LONDON. June 4. “Thp Telegraph’s’’ Danzig correspondent savs: Anxiety is growing after the death of a Nazis during a fight, when the Nazis attempted to break up an opposition political meet- 1 ing, in which over fifty were injured. Foerster, the Nazi leader, and virtual political dictator in Danzig, issued a proclamation blaming the Opposition leaders, “whom' I am obliged tn tolerate under tho int'ernational statute.’ He added, speaking .as thpugh Germany’s might is behind him that he will not permit thc Germans at Danzig to be stirred up hy these corrupters of the people. “Our Fuhrer shall not be insulted. We.Tvill ruthlessly oppose the Opposition’s terrorism, and will not alloy ourselves to be attacked. Thr. lives of our men fighting for honest aims and high ideals of a great free Germany are more valuable Ihan those- treacherous subversive agitators* who hate the Fatherland.” The Opposition points on: that thev cannot have established terror, as the Nazis posses all the power, and also control the police and then- own uniformed organisations.
