Poles Openly DistrustfuI
OF Rumored Peace Plans

WARSAW, Aug. IS R).-Polish
press and official circles indicated
open distrust today of various ru-
mored plans to save the peace by
new forms of compromise.
There was no evidence that Po-
land had altered in the least her
opinion that concessions to Ger
many in the conflicting German
Polish claims to rights in the Free
City of Danzig could do any more
than postpone war.
The newspaper 1lustrowany Kur-
jer of Krakow declared that Ger
many obviously hopes to arrive by
September is at political arrange
ment whereby Poland can be mas
tered in three or four weeks"
What Poland fears is the awaken
ing of a new appeasement policy
which might give Germany some
success in what the Poles consider
to be German campaign to "iso-
late" Poland and establish this
country as the "aggressor" nation.

and commitments.
Prime Minister Chamberlain, it
was recalled, left the door to nego-
tiation open in his House of Com
mons speech July 10 when he
pledged rearmed Britain to aid Po-
land in resisting any Nazi coup in
Danzig.

give our assistance to Poland in

provements could be discussed
In Berlin the press and Nazi party
circles believed Hitler's next step
would depend on what Burckhardt
brings back with him in the next
few days from his contacts with
Lord Halifax.
Informed circles there expressed
the opinion German acquisition of
Danzig and a strip of land through
the Polish Corridor to link GERMANY
and East Prussia had been accepted
by Hitler, Foreign Minister Joseph
Beck of Poland and Albert Forster,
Danzig Nazi leader, as basis for
discussion.
A variety of rumors and guesses
on peace plans" developed from the
talks Of the last week end among
Hitler, his foreign minister, Joachim
Won Ribbentrop, and Italy's foreign
minister, Count Galeazzo Ciano.
Private sources in Rome said Ger
many and Italy are agreeable to
holding conference with France
and Great Britain on the German
claim to Danzig, to be followed later
by discussions toward settlement of
Europe's economic and colonial
problems. This, it was explained.

the four foreign ministers arranged

Munich Parallel Seen.
Anu-appeasement circles here
meanwhile, viewed the PROCEEDINGS
with suspicion, drawing parallels be-
tween current events and those
which preceded the Munich confer
ence that resulted in dismember-
ment OF Czecho-Slovakia.
Typical of such an attitude was an
editorial in the Daily Mirror, headed
"Old Stuff" which said Hitler
"shows a dismal lack of variety in
his annual or autumnal crisis mobi-
lizations" and added "As with
Czecho-Slovakia last year, so now
with Poland Next year, if Poland
goes, another performance of the
old play-nearer west"
Meanwhile, it was reported here
that the staff talks of the British
and French military missions in
Moscow toward negotiations of a
mutual assistance pact with Russia
were proceeding in favorable at
mosphere." 1t was understood,
however, that to meet certain situa-
tions instructions would be sent to
the British and French missions to

Italian Army Officers
In Uniform Appear
On Danzig Streets
kozis No Longer Make
Effort to ComoufIoee
Aiming Of City
BY RICHARD MOWRER,

Chicago Daily News Foreign Correspondent.
DANZ1G, Aug. Is (by radio) -
Italian Army officers are taking part
in the German militarization of
Danzig. Whether they are actively
participating or merely being shown
around, this correspondent cannot
say. The fact is, Italian officers
wearing uniforms of the Italian
Army are in Danzig and are often
seen in the company of German
s. A. elite Guards.
Danzig can best he described as
a German garrison town. There is
no effort to camouflage what is
going on here. Except for certain
places where none but German
Army men may enter, the militari-
zation of the city is taking place
openly. More, it is being publicized.
This morning two light field pieces,
drawn by small detachment of
German artilleYmen, ratified over
the cobblestones past this corre-
spondent's hotel. The guns could
just as we'll have been loaded on
to one Of the increasing num-
ber OF trucks and easily hidden from
public view-if the Germans had
so desired.
Files in German Uniforms.
At 1890 o'clock in the afternoon
a file of men in German uniforms
marched past singing. Behind them,
in an open horse drawn cart, were
three heavy machine guns being
taken somewhere. They were stack
ed up in such manner that every-
one would be sure to know what
they were. Discretion is no longer
the rule. The Nazis feel themselves
strong enough here to show off.
At this writing an airplane is
flying low back and forth over the
city, displaying the swastika on its
tall. So far it is not a warplane.
