DANZIG ELECTION

PLANS ASTRAY I BITTER DISILLUSIONMENT. [By Teiegraph—Press Association —Copyright] ! LONDON, April 8. Xhe Daily Telegraph’s Berlin correspondent says the Danzig election was a bitter disillusionment to the Nazi organisers, who stage-managed the election campaign. Short of the complete suppression of the opposition parties they had every advantage. The (Danzig Government played into their hands, and established a Nazi monopoly of electioneering propaganda. No other party except the Poles were allowed to even display banners or exhibit posters. The Nazis are greatly concerned that without outside aid the Socialists’ Centre maintained representation. No German newspaper is allowed to refer to the Nazi excesses which led to Polish diplomatic representations. EX-NAZI PRESIDENT FLIGHT FROM DANZIG DANZIG, April 8. ! Dr. Kauschniug, Nazi president of j Danzig for seventeen months, until he resigned in November, 1934, has fled, 1 presumably to Poland. It is understood that Nt/sis accused him of treachery. His disappearance followed Dr. Goebbels’ speech of April G, when he declared the Nazis should ignore Dr. Rausch niug. who had committed moral suicide. | MAY ATTEMPT COUP UNEASINESS IN FRANCE LONDON, April 8. I The newspapers in Paris are uneasy about the result of the Danzig elections. The Petit Parisien mentions fears that Nazi disappointment may lead them to attempt a coup d’etat. Le Petit Journal says it is half a victory but a disquietening one, for it authorises Berlin to continue the pres- I sure.

GERMAN SUSPICIONS WORLD REVOLUTION BERLIN, April 7. Herr He.*?, referring to Air. Eden visit to Moscow, declared; •• it is not without piquancy that representatives •of the world revolution toasted ihe I King of England, whose relative the | Tsar, representatives of the same ievolution murdered because the Tsar was a monarch. Incidents from Katerinburgh, coupled with the playing of “God Save rhe King’’ at Moscow, I produce a certain dissonance.’’ “ Nevertheless wc appreciate the I British efforts to create a basis of peace and hope Britain will succeed, even if we are slightly doubtful re- . garding the visit to Moscow. Gerinany’fc caution towards treaties in which Russia is involved is quite comprehensive as the Soviet leaders have often declared that their only aim in signing treaties with Capitalist States was to further the world revolution.” I Herr Hess declared that war talk was confined to foreign newspapers, and did appear in Germany. He ; added that* nobody had mastered the crisis with such success as Germany. • The United States was not comparable I with Germany. It needed a Hitler. I ANTI-JEWISH ACTIVITY REVIVAL IN GERMANY. (Times Cable). I Received April 9, 11.15 p.m. LONDON, April 8. ! The Berlin correspondent of the 1 Times states: “There is a revival of anti-Jevvish activity, notably at Bres- ■ lau, where Storm Troopers headed by a j buglar paraded the streets carrying placards inscribed with the names of Aryan women allegedly maintaining relations with Jews. The Storm Troopers drew up in formation before the home of each of t heir victims while their neighbours were summoned with buglecalls and shouts of ‘Germany awake!’ The name of the offending woman was , then chalked on the pavement.”
