MR. EDEN’S VIEW.

POSSIBILITY OF SERIOUS DEVELOPMENT. ATTITUDE OF THE GERMAN GOVERNMENT. (Received Tuesday, 7.50 p.m.) LONDON, July 7. The "Daily Mail's” political correspondent says Mr. Eden, at last night's Cabinet meeting, gave Ministers a definite impression that the situation in Danzig might develop into a grave crisis. He told them Colonel Beck and himself regarded the present activities of the Nazi Party in Danzig as something which might require definite action. At the Government's request, the Liberals postponed their request for a foreign affairs debate which was to have occurred on July 9.

"The Times” Berlin correspondent says the French Ambassador and the British Charge d’Affaires called separately at the Foreign Office and discussed the Danzig situation. They were presumably informed that the Government was in full agreement with Herr Greiser's speech, which is widely stressed in the newspapers. The diplomats, in view of the general anxiety,

put other questions, to which they received a reassuring reply. The German Government does not expect trouble in Danzig in the near future. As Herr Forster, Nazi chief in Danzig has been in consultation with the authorities and Herr Greiser visited Berlin en route to Danzig, that view presumably is based on the instructions given them.
