was received with varying emo
tionS.
French government circles char
acterized Hitler's references to
Danzig as dangerous implications.
Paris speculated whether the re-
marks will be followed soon by
some move against Poland.
British newspapers viewed the
speech as "half defiant and half
conciliatory." Typical headlines
were, Friendly Words For Britain"
Praises Britain, Hitler Ready to
Negotiate With Us About Fleets.
In Rome, we'll informed Fascist
sources heralded the address as
firm, energetic answer to Presi-
dent Roosevelt's plea for peace.
Italians said the next move is up
to Poland.
Nowhere was the German de-
nunciation of treaties with Poland
and England given great impor-
tance. Experts pointed out that
the treaties have been discounted
by past developments.
While Poland refused to consider
any one-Sided settlement, it was
announced, however, that the sug-
gestions contained in Adolf Hit
ler's speech and the German note
to Poland will be considered in a
spirit of seriousness and good will.
Informed sources concluded that
the possibility of successful Polish
German negotiations have by no
means been eliminated.
Polish officials regarded the sit
uation created by Hitlers speech
and the German note with calm.
They did not conceal the hope that
an understanding with Germany
still could be reached, based on the
passages in the speech recognizing
the Justification for certain Polish
claims and the section of the NOTE
stating that Germany still is pre-
pared to negotiate.

Administration forces were badly
routed yesterday when the economy
movement gained momentum to
slash $4,533,63 from the original
$557 100000 budget offered by the
governor. With SO amendments al
ready passed, the bipartisan Goa
lition will effect total cuts of So
100000 if all 80 amendments are
adopted.
Doubt remained if a two thirds
vote was forthcoming to prevent
an additional cut of $56,000000 un-
der constitutional provisions in

jority.
The economy drive cut some
items and restored previous cuts

Dispute among members of the
board of equalization on wisdom
