Hitler Reported
Demanding Cession
OF Upper Si|esia
lotest Note to Britain
Declared Closing Door
As Regards PoIond
By PERTINAX.

PARIS, Aug. 30 (NA.NA).-
About the contents of Chancellor
Hitler's reply to Prime Minister
Chamberlain note of Sunday night
the indications available today are
not favorable.
Hitler is willing to participate in
an international discussion bearing
upon colonies, raw materials and
ornaments, as suggested in the
British document. But, as regards
Poland, he is believed to have come
very near to closing all doors, If he
has not actually closed them.
In addition, his claims upon Po-
land are no longer restricted to the
retrocession of Danzig and the
Polish Corridor. They probably in
clude transfer of Polish Upper
Silesia to German sovereignty.
Through making such discrimi-
nation between the problems which
are of general concern and the pure
ly Polish questions, Hitler tries to
drive wedge between Britain and
her Polish ally. In the same spirit,
last Sunday, he attempted to sepa-
rate Premier Daladier from the War;
saw government.
All those maneuverings are quite
out of date. The Fuehrer overlooks
the fact that, since August Is, the
British cabinet has pledged itself,
in terms so far-reaching as to battle
all historical parallels. to back Po-
land against every form of aggres-
sion, military, political and econom-
ic. He will fail to make any i'm
preston upon Mr.. Chamberlain. The
probabilities are that the German
note will be published tonight. 1t
may be realized then that Mr..
Chamberlain has nothing to add to
what ne has said already.

Ships
Continued From First Page)

French Lines De Grasse pulled
away from it's Hudson River pier
uninterrupted.
The De Grasse carried only 80
passengers. 1t has capacity of 800.
The Bremen, pride of the Nazi
merchant fleet, is the only German
owned vessel in United States port,
others having raced homeward to
avoid capture or internment in case
of war.
Collector Burning disclosed the
all-day search aboard the Bremen
had uncovered only two objects sub
ject to customs seizure-a camera
and Russian religious image which
had not been declared.
Mr.. Burning said he had had no
information indicating the presence
of arms aboard the Bremen or any
other ship. y
IF mad, I'd 60 up and find the
stuff myself" he added. But If any
ship left port with arms and there
was an incident on the high seas, it
would be up to me, and I don't in
tend to have anything like that hap
pen"
Search for "Arms Only"
The search, he added, was "abso-
lutely made for arms and nothing
else"
Asked why inspection of the
Bremen was taking so long, Gregory
OKeefe, assistant collector of Gus
toms. replied, Its big ship"
Capt. Drechsel said he had asked
the German Embassy to lodge for
NAL protest with the State Depart
ment over the unprecedented REIN
spection. Clearance papers custom
arily are granted as perfunctory
routine.
Il can't understand the necessity
for this reinspection," Capt. Drechsel
continued. There is no mail on the
vessel, no baggage, no cargo, no
passengers. She should be the
easiest ship in the world to inspect"
Earlier he had described the
search as courageous and "an un-
friendly act"
Although North German Lloyd
Line officials lodged formal COM
plants with the German Embassy
in Washington, the inspection bore
the personal approval of President
Roosevelt. He said the ships of all
possible billigerent powers would be
searched to insure they were not
armed to raid other commercial
vessels.
The President told a press con-
ference yesterday the United States
would be potentially liable if it al
lowed the ship of any nation likely
to be involved in war to leave an
American port equipped to arm
itself at sea for offensive purposes.

to the offer of Queen Wilhelmina
of the Netherlands and King Leo
pold of the Belgians to use their
good Offices toward mediation of
the crisis which has brought Europe
dangerously close to war
The foreign Office did not make
public the text of the reply to the
two sovereigns. But Polish officials
said it pointed out the Polish gov
ernment had agreed 'in principle"
to mediation as a means of settling
disputes between nations in Presi-
dent Ignace Moscicki's reply to
President Roosevelt's peace appeal.
Queen Wilhelmina and King Leo
pold were informed the Polish gov
eminent cannot, however, enter into
further discussions of details of any
proposed mediation because such
proposals in the past have met with
no response from Germany. Hitler,
Polish officials commented, had not
replied to President Roosevelt's
appeal.
Slovak Appeals Protested.
1t was announced off1cially the
Polish government had protested to
the Slovak government against al

sized today in reply to an inquiry
by the German Charge dAffaires,
DR.. Hans Thomson, that the inspec-
ton of foreign ships in New York
was entirely non-discriminatoEy and
applied to vessels of all nations in
similar circumstances.

sistant Secretary of State Berle late
last night concerning the situation
regarding detention of the German
liner Bremen, the State Department
said.

Ship Still Missing

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 80 (P.-
Disclosure that two figures seen
boarding the North German Lloyd
freighter Wiegand in the Delaware
River before dawn were a Philadel-
phia ship chandler and his wife
cleared up today part of a mystery
surrounding the departure of two
German ships.
Customs officials started an in
vestigation after William R. Egan,
who piloted the Wiegand down the
Delaware to the Atlantic Ocean,

came aboard off Marcus Hook, Pa.

q wireless to bring something to the
Wiegand and was on the freighter
less than half an hour.
Ship Still Missing.
There still was some mystery as
to the whereabouts of the freighter.
She has not been reported since
she left the Delaware breakwater,
although due at Norfolk yesterday.
Mr. Egan said the vessels captain,
Johann HERMANN, received a mes
sage by short-wave radio shortly
before turning back up the river.
A short time after the freighter
left Philadelphia the German gov
eminent ordered all German vessels
in foreign ports to return home at
once.
Board of Inquiry Called.
Customs officials expressed the be-
lief the Wiegand may have needed
that call-although maritime laws
required that she 60 to Norfolk
without stopping. -

port, summoned an unomcial board
