THE DANZIG ISSUE
A FAVOURABLE SIGN POLAND’S REASONABLENESS LONDON, July 11. The Warsaw correspondent of The Times says while the press welcomes Mr Chamberlain’s statement as “both a warning and an appeal to common sense ” Poland’s readiness to show reasonableness in her relations with Danzig is demon-st-ated by an r ;reement to prolong for a further year the Polish-Danzig fishing agreement. Simultaneously a favourable sign came from Danzig, which permitted the sale of 10 banned Polish newspapers. Munitions, however, continue to enter the Free City, mainly hand grenades. The calling up of residents of Danzig for compulsory labour service has been extended to Poles. The works consist mainly of fortifications. MR CHAMBERLAIN’S SPEECH BITTER PRESS COMMENT DANZIG, July 11. Press comment on Mr Chamberlain remains bitter, the newspapers declaring that they are unable to believe the protestations of foreign Powers which showed no interest in Danzig for 20 years. The Nazi spokesman declared that Mr Chamberlain’s statement had not excluded the possibility of negotiation.
