The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-08-30

sion m LonQon was that tillS Woulo mean a sort of German protectorate over what was left of Poland, al- though 1t was considered significant that German newspapers this af- ternoon talked about the common interest" of Soviet Russia and Ger many in Poland.
 The German communication to Britain was understood to have cited a British offer in an earlier note to Hitler to act as "go between" for Berlin and Warsaw, If both parties desired. It was on this basis, that Hitler suggested Britain hasten to ask Poland to send representa- tive to Berlin.
 Expect Polish Dignitary
 It was beleived that Hitler left the implication that he woud ex- pect some such Polish digntary as President Ignacy Moscicki, Marshal Edward Smigly-Rydz or Foreign Minister Josef Beck to make the trip to Berlin. which British circles saw as a repetition of the climax of the 1888 partitioning of Czechoslovakia when President Emil Hacha made the trip from Prague to the Reich's capital.
 Poland, which continued its mo- bilization, would not even consider such a move, 1t was believed here, and had so intimated to Germany. Britain kept in close touch with France on the developments and also :. filled in other governments. U. s. z Ambassador Joseph P. Kennedy 7. visited the foreign office for a 50- { minute talk this afternoon. s An informant said he understood that Hitler already had received an intimatoin that it would not be feasible for a Polish representative to 20 to Berlin within the specified time limit. This information also was received with reserve pending j fficial comment.
 Extends His Demands
 Hitler in recent days, in his var ious messages, had extended his de- mands. He had said he must have not only Danzig but the corridor, and he had raised the question Of . new concessions.
 1J WHS ISDOl tC0 blldV AAOW AA3SAS~ wanted an economic agreement with what remained of Poland after territorial changes. Informants said z that their impression was that such A an agreement might reduce Poland { almost to protectorate status. This information came as the cabinet was ending a two hour ses- sion, considering Hitler's message which was received here last night. < It was said that no further. meet !. ing had been decided upon and that the question of calling parlia- ment into special session before its scheduled meeting next Tuesday had not been discussed.
 As the meeting ended, 1t was said that a further message to Hitler was probable.
 Turn in Situation
 This was taken as an indication of a sudden turn in the situation. < It had been expected that a reply would be automatic. But it was re- called that Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain in his speech in the House of Commons yesterday indi- coted that there might not be an- x other message from Britain to Hit Ter.
 When the cabinet met, it had been understood that one thing to bt considered was whether last nights message had been Hitler's latest ol his last word.
 The lack of specific arrangements for another cabinet meeting was as- sumed to be due to the necessity for communicating with other gov { ernments on the situation.
 It was understood that Hitler's note of last night began with re- newed expressions of friendship for Britain.
 But in view of the other develop ments, a London informant said that this might be maneuver to make Poland, France and Britain :, appear responsible for any unfavor- able development.
 Developments had made it certain 2 that the meeting of the cabinet this morning was most urgent one.
 Poland Is Told
 Before the meeting, the govern- ment had communicated Hitler's message to the Polish government, through Sir Howard Kennard, am bassador to Poland, and to the British dominions through their high commissioners, who met with Sir Thomas Inskip, colonal secre- tary, at II a. m. G a. m. Edt.
 The cabinet met at 11:30 a. m. (6:30 a m EDT)
 A little while before the meeting specially chartered airplane ar rived at Heston airdrome, in the North London suburbs, from Tenn pelhof airdrome, Berlin, with three passengers.
 Berlin confirmed that the plane had left there at a. m. (midnight Tuesday EDT) and that no mem- Der of the British embassy staff was aboard it. Identity of the passengers were not disclosed.
 Hitler's answer to the British mes- sage which Sir Neville Henderson, ambassador to Germany, had taken to Hitler by airplane Monday ar- rived last night.
 Examined All Night A It was put at once before Cham berlain and Viscount Halifax, for seign secretary, and experts of the foreign office spent almost all night examining it in the most minute de- tail.
 Chamberlain and Halifax con- ferred at length on it, and afterward Halifax conferred with his key for eign office aides.
 Chamberlain this morning sum- moned a full cabinet meeting.
 It was forecast that he would call parliament to meet tomorrow or Friday to hear what Hitler had said and the British government reply 5t to him-assuming that the govern ment, now fighting Berlin on the Nazis' own ground in a war of nerves" of which delay and suspense were . big part did not decide that III A YRTnHHHn1
