Cardenas was closeted in the gov

With a note protesting military
preparations.
Albert Forester, Nazi leader in a
speech to 5000 people at Tiegenhof
yesterday, said that Danzig wanted
to return to Germany and would
do SO.
This is the aim of all Germans
in Danzig," Forester said. 1--WE are
ready to make any sacrifices no
matter how great to attain this
end. We are even ready to sacrifice
our lives to attain our freedom.
Every Danzig German will work TO
bring Danzig back to the Reich.
Forester denounced the attitude
of Polish newspapers. He said Po-
land had threatened to strengthen
it's corps of customs officers in
Danzig and commented: poland
can go ahead and extend its corps
all she wants. 1t will only expedite
a solution of the Danzig question. !"

Toledo Mr.. Rand felt that the city
needed an exclusive place to dine

the property at l00lia City Park

for dances.
Later, April /, 1898, he began re-

together with the recognition the

To vote YES" on March 6 FOR bet
ter homes in Flint means a great
step in the right direction. A vote in
the majority for better homes will
show to the city commission that the
! five commissioners who voted against
! the USHA program, and who were
elected commissioners by the peo-
Pile did not represent their desires or
wishes on the housing issue.
The three and one haf million, or
! approximately $50 homes is very
small in comparison to the total num-
| Der of low cost homes needed in Flint,
| but It does show in a way what could
be accomplished If the necessary
amount could be obtained. Anyway
after we see what can be done with
the already earmarked sum another
application for more funds may be
made
OF the $50 units TO be built Negro
people, of the lowest income group
will be benefited TO the extent OF not
less than 220 units. It must be under
stood that it is not necessary that
$50 homes be demolished. $50 houses
will be condemned as unfit for hu-
man habitation and remain empty until
such time as the owner renovates the
house TO meet requirements.
