BACKGROUND

BACKGROUND
Germany has been seeking to
recover Dansig since last March,
When she absorbed Bohemia. Mo-
raUia and Memel Polish-Ger-
man tension has risen in recent
days after period OF moderation.
Germany is engaged in mdneu-
Uers ,Uhich BY time of Nasi party
congress merit month will have
increased German forces under
arms to more than 1000 900 men.
Rising tension has been forecast
for August and September.
By the Associated Press.
BERLIN, Aug. 10.-Itahan and
German foreign ministers, Count
Ciano and Joachim Won Ribben-
trop, will meet at Salzburg, Ger
many, it was announced today, Ito
consider the questions of common
policy of the allied taxis) countries"
1t had been reported that repre-
sentatives of the axis powers would
meet for personal consultation on a
plan of Fuehrer Hitler for settle
ment of the Danzig- Poland ques-
ton. Won Ribbentrop has summer
home at Salzburg.
In Rome, Italian circles said
Germany's claim to the Free
City of Danzig, particularly
Italy's attitude, would be
primary subject of discussion.
Ciano and Won Ribbentrop also
were expected to discuss Tokios
terms for japanese entrance into
tine Italian military al
liance)
Call to Preparedness.
The announcement came as the
German arms industry was made
the sounding board for a new pre-
paredneSs call.
Col Gen. Walther Won Brauchitsch,
army chief of staff, speaking at
Dusseldorf, gave Germans the
sacred assurance" that Reichs-
fuehrer Hitler never would ''friv-
olously" risk their lives.
He spoke to the entire nation
in an address broadcast from the
workshop of one of it's greatest
munitions factories, the Rhein-
Metall Borsig Co.'S Dusseldorf
branch.
There is one sacred assurance
I can give you as one of the most
intimate co-workers of our Fuehrer:
Never will the Fuehrer frivo-
lousy risk the lives of Germans.
Reich Welded Together.
If, however, the time should come
that the Fuehrer will demand our
last and highest sacrifice" he added,
I'VE may be sure that there was
no other way and that this demand
is an irrevocable necessity"
Germany now is welded together
nationally and socially" he as
serted, lin manner paralleled only
by Fascist Italy. This unity will
stand the test even if serious days
should come.
Germany furthermore does not
have to try to intimidate the world
with threats. Nor will it be intimi-
dated by others, least of all by the
mad threats of certain foreign gen.
erals who already announce a VIC
torious battle before Berlin and a
new peace of Versailles
This latter was greeted as a ref
erence to Polish leaders.
Will Cover All Relations.
Authoritative quarters said the
two foreign ministers would discuss
the whole gamut of the international
situations affecting both countries.
Their meeting probably will not
cover more than one day, it was
said.
The likelihood that the Free City
of Danzig would be principal topic
of discussion was seen in the in
sistence in German government
circles that Albert Forster, Nazi
leader in Danzig, would confne his
speech there tonight to voicing Dan
zig's protest against alleged Polish
threats and reiterating Danzig Nazi
demands to rejoin Germany.
1t would not be fair to Premier
Mussolini and Ciano, authoritative
sources said, if Forster were to create
new situation at the very moment
Ciano was arranging to meet Won
Ribbentrop.
May Discuss Hungary.
They asserted the German gov
ernment fully realized the impor-
tance of Danzig to the whole Ques-
ton of peace or war in Europe and
hence she was not likely to under
take any step without first assuring
herself of Italian support.
Further topics for discussions, it
was intimated, were the relation
ship Of Hungary to both the axis
powers and to Poland and reports
from Belgrade to the effect that the
Yugoslavs are not ready to promise
