FREE CITY OF DANZIG, June 81.
--Nazi sponsors in Germany were re-
ported today to have prepared dec
laration of independence designed to
end League of Nations supervision
over this free area.
Informed circles said negotiations
between Germany and Poland fore
shadowed an effort to get rid of the
League" with ReichSfuehrer Adolf Hit
Ter aiding the move personally.
The declaration. from Albert For
ster. youth Danzig Nazi leader, was
to be issued here today and published
throughout Germany at the same
time.
THE League and its high commits
sioner in Danzig have nothing more
to do with settling differences in Dam
zig and Poland and their existence on
the whole has become superf1uouS, )"
Forster's statement declared.
League Official Snubbed.
In addition, an incident involving
officers of the German cruiser Leipzig
and Sean Lester, the League commits
sioner, added to well-circnlated re-
ports of important i'm pc n i'm g
events"
The cruisers officers, making official
calls on authorities as the vessel lay
in the harbor, omitted visit to Lester,
an act which some sources declared
was inspired by der fuehrer. Forster's
declaration, it was said. was an ex-
PLANTATION of. the official Nazi attitude.
The primary reason for the League
protectorate over the city, Forster
asserted. has disappeared since Ger
many and Poland settled amicably
their dispute over the necessity for
q Polish seaport,
The high commissioner seizes
every occasion to block the efforts

Understanding With Poland.
"He therefore does not contribute
to the pacihcation of Danzig. AS the
Hitler movement without the high
commissioner came to quiet under
standing with Poland, thereby Great
ing external peace. SO will the Hit
Ter movement know how to establish
internal peace without the high COM
missioner"
Some sources declared the time
for the independence move was
chosen deliberately, since the League
IS at present engrossed in the Italo-
Ethiopian and covenant revision
questions Others asserted the inter-
ests Of Great Britain and France, di-
verted to the League now, might not
interfere with the Danzig campaign.
