French Fear Delay
In British-Russian
Pact Negotiations
Donzig Incidents Spur
Officials Seeking Quick
Action on Compromise
By PERTINAX.

PARIS, May % (N.A.NA). .-Nazi
attacks upon Polish customs Off
cials in the Danzig area are causing
uneasiness here because of their syS-
tematic and deliberate character.
If they are really part of a con-
certed plan, it is difficult to believe
that Chancellor Hitler will placidly
put up with the note delivered to
the Danzig Senate by the Polish
general commissioner.
The incident is a timely reminder
to the British, French and Russian
rulers that their methods of pro-
tracted discussion are out OF date
and that a tripartlte agreement
either must be concluded without
further delay or it will come too
late to act as a deterrent and will
be of use only as an instrument of
war.
Speedier Action Sought.
An effort is likely to be made in
London to persuade Prime Minister
Chamberlain not to wait until We'd
nesday to reach a decision about
the compromise that French Pre-
mier Daladier suggested Saturday
to British Foreign Secretary Hall
fax to reconcile the British and
Russian views obout the cooper
alton of Soviet Russia with the
western powers.
The innovations urged by M,
Daladier upon the British cabinet
can be summarized as follows. First,
Mr.. Chamberlain hitherto wished to
limit cooperation with Russia to
Eastern Europe, and he did admit
only an indirect bond with Moscow,
q bond arising from the fact that,
as regards Poland and Rumania,
the guarantees given by Britain and
France would mingle with a similar
guarantee to be given by Russia.
According to M. Daladier's sugges-
ton, the bond would become direct
one, since Britain, France and
Russia would issue a joint declara-
ton of mutual assistance.
Second, those three great powers
would be committed to assist one
another not only if a direct attack
were launched on any one of them,
but, in addition, if aggression were
turned against any state bordering
upon Germany.
Still Two Restrictions.
Thus, on these two points, an
important advance toward the Rus
sian thesis can be noticed. How
ever, the demands put forward
by Moscow are being submitted by
M. Daladier to two noteworthy re-
strictions. First, Estonia and Lat
via, which are not coterminous
with Germany, are being excluded
from the defensive system. Lithu-
ania only would be taken in. Sec
ond, in case of direct attack upon
territory of one of the three sigma
tories, the pledge of mutual assist
ance would have to be enforced
automatically. But, if the attack
were indirect-that is, if it were
directed against one of the States
bordering upon Germany-a diplo-
matte consultation would have to
be held by Britain, France and
Russia to ascertain whether a vital
interest of one of these three gov
ernments had been jeopardized or
impaired and whether a warhke
countermove could be denied neces-
sary.
The probabilities are that Stain,
Foreign Commissar Molototf and
their advisers will not easily accept
these two restrictions.
The western democracies must
try to match the swiftness of de-
cision which is feature of the
pictorial regimes, or they will be
overwhelmed.

press Poranny alone were permitted
to comment editorially on the trouble
at Kalthof customs post which led to
the killing of German citizen Of
Danzig by Polish chauffeur.
Despite popular resentment
against actions of Danzig Nazis, the
Polish view was that caution and
careful judgment were essential and
that any action in addition to the
protest Poland has registered must
await determination of the cause of
the Observation-Disclosures it was local
to Danzig or attributable to Ger

Passeau to Get
First Test With
Cubs; Giants Lose

NEW YORK. June /. CUP)-One
of the big questions as the major
leagues opened their third intersec-
tional series today was, ''how much
will Passeau help the Cubs"
The answer may have consider
able effect on determining the Ma
tional league pennant winner. If
Claude Passeau obtained by the
Cubs from the Phillies for three
players and cash (Which wasn't
mentioned in the deaD, can pitch
winning ball then the champions
cannot be discounted easily.
Passeau will get his first test in
a Cub uniform tonight when he
faces the Dodgers in the opening
of the National leagues nocturnal
schedule. The first National league
night game at Philadelphia also is
scheduled tonight between the
Pirates and Phils.
Despite Dizzy Deans two WIN
ming performances, the Cubs have
been losing favor lately because of
the failure to generate more punch
and Dick Bartell's loose play at
shortstop. It's up to Passeau to
put new life in the Cubs or Gabby
Hartnett's pennant machine is
likely to sputter too much to keep
up with the field.
One of the big topics in the
American league as the eastern
clubs moved into the west for their
second invasion concerned the
Yankees pitching problem. Joe
Mccarthy is crying for pitching
help, which is a laugh to everyone
else considering the Yanks 6l2 lead
But the YankS' pitching actually
is Wavering, and if Red Ruffing S
arm doesn't show improvement with
the hot weather Mccarthy may
actually be up against it for hurl-
ers. Only one Yankee. rookie At
ley Donald. has gone the route in
the last five games.
Brooklyn walloped the Giants
IA in the only major league game
yesterday, making six wins out OF
the last seven for the Dodgers.
