Warsaw
Continued From First Page.)

Nurnberg. 1t had the caption: "A
general view and description of the
Polish states fortified and the COM
mercial town of Danzig and its sur
roundings."
Poland, declared the National
Democrats Warszawski Dziennick,
still has unsatisfied claims against
Germany. 1t contended that Polish
possessions on the Baltic were q
minimum for the nations continued
existence.
For us" it said, "Danzig is a
Polish town historically, geographic
ally and economically The maxi
mum concession we can make for
the German section of its popula-
ton is to agree that it shall have
the political standard of free city"
No Response on Alliance.
Informed Polish circles expressed
no direct concern in authoritative
reports from London that the Brit
ish government had accepted, at
least as basis for further discus
sion, the principle of a triple mill
tary alliance with France and
Soviet Russia.
Britain, according to reliable
London reports, still was pressing
a counter proposal to the Russian
security plan. She was said to
be seeking Soviet aid for this coun-
try and Rumania if either should
call for 1t.
Three days before the arrival Of
the Lithuanian Gen. Stanislas
Rasztikis for a two-day visit to
Warsaw at the invitation of Marshal
Edward Smigly-Rydz, the army
organ, Polska Zbrojna. published an
article virtually inviting Lithuania
to consider forming a military alh-
ance with Poland.
Lithuanian Relations Better.
There have been distinct signs
of normalization in Polish-Lithuan-
ian contacts since Chancellor Hitler
annexed Memel, even though lit
tie more than a year ago Poland
forced Lithuania to re-establish
diplomatic relations with Warsaw
under q threat of war if she re-
fused.
Polska Zbrojna's article expressed
regret over the postwar Lithuanian
"distrust" of Poland and added:
Nov that this distrust has come
to definite end, the natural al
lance of Lithuania and Poland,
which already has friendly rela-
tions with Estonia and Latvia, could
become a safe guarantee of inde-
pendence for all these states"
Lthuania, however, apparently
has not encouraged talk of a Polish
alliance. In return for Memel, an
nexed by Germany April %. she
received a non-aggression treaty
binding her to neutrality in event
of war between Germany and a
third power.
It was pointed out that Poland,
through her 1882 non-aggression
pact and her 1888 trade protocol
with the Soviet, was in an excellent
position to deal with Moscow If
necessary.
Germans Are Expelled.
Poland expelled two families Of
German land owners from the cor
ridor in retaliation for the ousting
of Poles from the German eastern
frontier zone.
One land owner was ordered to
take two of his employees with him.
Authorities said his estate was q
NEST of German propaganda and
unrest"
The other expulsions concerned
q man accused of spreading false
news and q man who authorities
said has served six prison terms.

Home to King George vi and
Queen Elizabeth when they visit the
United States this spring will be a
massive red-brick mansion 2 miles
from the White House.
AS guests Of the United States
Government, they won't stay there
The visiting monarchs are to hang
their crowns-or hats-at the White
House. But if they themselves en-
tertain. it will be done at the British
Embassy-the American palace.
The Embassy, built in 1880, is nc
Buckingham Palace or Windsor Cas-
tie. But it's nice big house, with q
ballroom, 10 master bedrooms, and
a dining table that seats 36.
Chief of its attractions to Capital
society is a rolling green lawn
fanked with beautiful rose gardens
There Sir Ronald Lindsay, the Am
bassador, and his American-born
wife, give their famous spring gar
den parties.
On two different sunny afternoons
some 1000 socially prominent Amer
leans stroll about on the AZ acres of
British soil, sip wine punch and
MUNICH strawberries and cream.
The garden party crowds get q
glimpse of a red-carpeted staircase
in the miniature palace where the
King and Queen may reign tempo
rarily in June. But there's great
deal more to the Washington pal
ace" than casual visitor sees.
Typically British.
"Typically British" it looks quite

there's lovely entrance with stately

Immediately inside the gates is the
chancery or business o1ace-a two
story, 5O-room building shaped like
a horseshoe. A young oak, not Brit
ish, grows valiantly alone in the GEN.
ter of the parkway.
Behind the chancery is the 4-story
Embassy. The archway between
them supports the Ambassadors
study, which connects the two build
ings on the second floor.
It's easy for a guest to remembea
that the Embassy was built during
the reign of George v. The royal
cipher, a crown atop the monogram
GVR George v Rex, appears in
the Indiana limestone trimming or
the brick exterior. The cipher also
is set above the terrace entrance
