HARSH LAWS
INTRODUCED IN DANZIG. OPPOSITION HAMPERED. GREISER’S FIRT MOVE. (United Press Association —By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) Received July 20, 9.15 a.m. DANZIG, July 19. Herr Greiser, the Nazi President who created a scene at Geneva, 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.
Herr Greiser’s regulations are understood to be based on the order issued in 1933 granting extraordinary powers to the Nazi Senate, which the Hague Court declared unconstitutional. Another decree restricts the freedom of the Opposition parties and extends the period in which a person may be kept in protective custody from three weeks to three months.
The League’s High Commissioner (Mr Sean Lester) has departed on a fishing expedition. He will be unable to take action against the new regulations until the Opposition parties complain of injustice. MR LESTER HAMPERED. PLEASING THE NAZIS. Received July 20, 12.20 p.m. PARIS, July 19. L’lntransigeant reports that when Mr Sean Lester sent his secretary to telegraph a protest to the League againt Herr Greiser’s decrees the clerk replied that the telegram would not please Herr Forster, the Nazi leader.
Accordingly, Mr Lester was forced to motor across the frontier to Poland and send a cable from Gdynia.
