BY MARY HEATON WORSE.

WARSAW, July II CN.A.N.A).-
Poland has decided to fight fol-
Danzig if she has to fight alone.
Marshal Edward Smigly-Rydz told
this writer in an exclusive inter-
view IT all other methods of set
ling the Danzig problem fail and
Danzig is occupied by the Germans
Poland will consider that cause OF
war"
There will be no repetition OF
Czecho-Slovakia here. The Poles will
not sit cooling their heels behind
closed doors. They will remain mas
tiers Of their own destiny.
The marshal of Poland has a
unique position. There is no other
commander in chief whose position
or prestige is like that of Marshal
Smigly-Rydz. The marshal is the
heart of Poland. He is the heir OF
the great and idolzed Pilsudski and
his appointed successor.
To the simple people of the coun-
try the marshal personifies Poland
He is the core of their army, which
guards their liberty and national in
dependence, dearer to them than
anything else. even life itself.
Manners Are Simple.
The marshal is of medium height,
dark, sunburned, and has brilliant,
penetrating eyes. His manners are
simple. He gives the appearance
OF tlreless vitality and has the easy
bearing OF a man who has lived a
great deal in the open. He is a
soldier first and last.
He is too occupied with his work
TO lead an active social life, and his
public appearances are few.
Marshal Smigly-Rydz received me
without ceremony in his simply
furnished study at the headquarters
OF the general staff C. I. S. T.
and Immediately launched into the
question of Danzig.
We will exhaust all methods of
settling the question of Danzig
peacefully. Then, If Germany per-
sists in her plans for Anschluss,
Poland will fight, even if she fights
alone and without allies. The whole
nation is agreed to this. The whole
nation to the last man and woman
is ready to fight for Polands indie
pendence; for. when we say we will
go to war over Poland, we shall
be fighting for our independence
Poland does not want a war, but
there are things which are worse
than war to us, and one is the loss
of our freedom"
Danzig Necessary to Poland.
He took me over to the map which
fills the wall of his study. ''Danzlg
is necessary for Poland. Who con-
trolls Danzig controls our economic
life. Our commerce floods through
Danzlg and Gdynia. Whoever con-
trolls Danzig controls Gdynia. We
have only small outlet to the sea
lao kilometers. Last year, $4,000 ,00C
tons OF our growing commerce passed
through these two points.
THE taking of Danzig by the
Germans would be an act which re-
calls to mind the partition of Poland
That is why I mobilized four months
ago when Hitler again made de-
mands for Danzig and the corridor
Believe me, that mobilization was
