Nazis Fail in Attempt
To Win Danziq for Reich

DANZIG, April 8 Q.N.SO-Tne
so per cent NaZi victory IN Dan
zig's parliamentary election con-
stitutes a moral condemnation"
of the opposition parties and de-
prives them Of the right of COM
plant, Arthur Greiser, president
of the senate, declared in a mani
feSto today.
While the election failed to give
the Nazi's the controlling majority
they had worked for with the aid
of propaganda, storm troopers
and four German cabinet minis
tiers, it nevertheless showed that
Danzig disapproves of the "machi-
nations" of the opposition, GreiSer
said, and added: !
Gas a result Of the voting, the
opposition parties once and for
all have forfeited their right to
direct complaints to any place.
Formally they may be right, but
morally they have been con-
demned."
The polling, viewed throughout
Europe as a virtual plebiscite"
to show whether Danzig wanted
to enter Hitler's Nazi camp, left
the latter 7 per cent shy Of the
majority needed to chance the
constitution and abolish opposi-
ton parties, Transforming the free
city into a NaZi state.
Six other parties combined
polled the remaining 40 per cent,
but they hailed the election, held
yesterday, as a victory over Nazi
electioneering which brought four
major German statesmen here as
speakers.
The election not only enabled
these parties to continue in ex-
istence, but definitely set back
the movement for return of Dan
zig to the Reich, observers said.

down a resolution aimed at estab-

stop "plucking" of samples on the
Baltimore tobacco market.
The bureau, meeting here, did
approve, however, the changes
made in the grading law by the
legislature, allowing the farmer
to choose whether he wishes 20
sell his crop under the terms Of

'Plucking" was attacked as the
prime evil of sampling tobacco

members declared the practice
should be policed by some other
agency. State or private, at the
market.

promise benefits by making the
necessary notifications.
It also asked that some definite
assurance be given as to when

could again precipitate dissolu-
ton of the diet and force new
election, but at present, accord
ing to views here, nothing IN
be gained pending consolidation
of the voting strength which
might take couple of years.
Actually Danzig diet members
hold their seats four years, but
it can be assumed that as soon
as the Nazis figure a two-thirds
majority is assured, they will not
overlook the first opportunity to
engineer another election.
NaziS here say DanZig's euo-
nomic and oil er dependence on
Poland acted as a terrific brake
on the election campaign.
