DANZIG CRISIS

CONFERENCES IN LONDON

MR CHAMBERLAIN RECEIVED BY KING. POLISH AMBASSADOR GOES TO WARSAW. By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright. LONDON, July 4. Sir Howard Kennard, ine British Ambassador to Poland, saw Mr Chamberlain this morning when Lord Halifax was also present. Mr Chamberlain later was received in an audience by the King at Buckingham Palace. Count Raczynski, the Polish Ambassador, had a lengthy talk with the Foreign Secretary. He is flying to Warsaw today to consult the Foreign Minister, Colonel Beck.

"The Times” explains that the Ambassador to Berlin, Sir Neville Henderson, is returning to consult his doctors. It adds that doubtless he will see Mr Chamberlain and Lord Halifax, but certainly he has not been summoned. FRONTIER FAMILIES POLES IN EAST PRUSSIA. ORDERED TO MOVE INLAND. LONDON,'JuIy 4. The Warsaw Press reports that more than 5000 Polish families residing in the frontier districts of East Prussia have been ordered to move inland by July 15. The militarisation of Danzig continues. Two tanks and two field guns were smuggled in piecemeal last night. It is stated that Poland has not yet sent the proposed Note to Berlin. The Danzig semi-official journal “Gazetta Polska” believes that steps may be taken to bring the real facts of the situation to Herr Hitler, as he may be personally unaware of them. The Polish Commissioner in Danzig may warn the Senate that the fortifications in the city contravene the Statutes.

The Berlin “Borsenzeitung” says: “The British tactics are designed to make our knees knock and shake at the brazen unity between the leadership and the people and to demonstrate England’s absolute, certain and utterly undoubted readiness for war.’
