HOLD ON DANZIG WARNING TO GERMANY JVILL IiESIST TRANSFER HIGH COMMISSIONER boycott by senate Bv Telesraph—-Press Association—Copyright (Received July $ «">.*> p.m.) ~a hll, LONDON. July s jimcs lanii - , The Warsaw correspondent of the Times says it is believed that a more gerious view is taken of the Danzig situation than responsible quarters admit. . , r . The semi-official journal Kurjer Poranny says: "It is quite unnecessary to enter into polemics with JJprr Greiser. It is sufheient for us to say, simply and firmly, that if Germany's aim is to free Danzig from the League's protection Poland w ill resist it to the limit." The Wnrszawski Dziennik Narodowv, the leading Nationalist newspaper. ga vsu"it should be stressed in the most decisive manner that Poland will never tolerate the return of Danzig to Germany. The Foreign Minister. Colonel Jlock is seeing the German Ambassador *°Tj,e Danzig correspondent of the »ws Chronicle says the Senate, at an emergency meeting, decided to boycott the Hi<di Commissioner. Mr. Sean LestPr and to have no official dealings with him. Herr Greiser declared that i,ever again would he travel to Geneva tn discuss the internal affairs of Danzig. TRIUMPHAL RETURN HERR GREISER CHEERED MR. LESTER IGNORED LONDON, July 7 "Germany stands behind us," was Herr Greiser's homecoming message to a large crowd of people who welcomed him on his return to Danzig from Geneva. Though the hour of arrival was kept secret to prevent an organised reception, several thousand people gathered outside the station and cheered wildly. Standing in a motor-car Herr Greiser addressed the crowd, saying: "I have spoken from my heart for all Danzigers and will do the same again on the proper occasion." The Danzig Government pointedly refrained from sending a representative to meet Mr. Sean Lester, the League's High Commissioner, on his return from Geneva this evening. It is believed that he will be completely boycotted in official quarters. He found his residence surrounded by police to prevent demonstrations. Following the publication of a manifesto from three of the biggest Opposition parties repudiating Herr Greiser's outburst, all the Opposition papers in Danzig have been seized.
