POLAND ISSUES NAzI WARNING
Joins Britain, France With Challenge to Keep Hands
 Off Danzig
fBY UNITED PREss)


 Poland joined with Great Britain and France today in warning Adolf Hitler that any military thrust in Danzig would create grave danger to European peace.
 President Ignacymoscicki, speak ing to the nation during a naval and military demonstration at the port of Gdynia, declared Poland's desire for peace but emphasized that she never would give up the Polish corridor pathway to the Bal tic Sea.
 The Polish demonstration followed three days of indirect warnings and direct military precautions in Brit ain and France, all designed to convince the Nazi Fuehrer that the Danzig quarrel must be settled peacefully to avoid danger of gen. eral war.
 Russia COaxed Again
 Even more important in the long run was move by Britain and France to speed formation of the European security front by making further concessions to Soviet Rus sia for the adherence of Moscow. Coincidentally with an editorial in the Communist party newspaper Pravda charging the two powers with Intentionally causing a dead- lock in the negotiations by seeking an unfair alliance, it was under stood in London that Britain had agreed to include Latvia, Esthonia and Finland as countries whose in- dependence is of vital importance in the maintenance of peace.
 Such 8 move would be 8 victory for the Soviets and would be in- tended to frustrate an apparent att tempt by the Nazis to break up the security front with campaign against Danzig and the Polish cor ridor. The probability that the Brit iSh government was being forced to further concessions to Russia and to a firmer stand against Nazis in the Danzig-Polish corridor dispute was indicated by an editorial in the pow erful London Daily Telegraph de- claring that the limit had been reached and that Britain takes her stand"
 German Troops Moving
 Although Britain denied any movement of German soldiers into Danzig or the formation of free corps, the reports of preparations for some action in that European danger spot continued. Nazis off, cials admitted, for instance, that Danzig was strengthening its own defense forces presumably because of its hazardous position since Poland and Germany warned each other not to attempt an invasion of the free city.
 The reports, coming largely through French sources, were that arms were being smuggled from Germany into Danzig; that barracks had been built or taken over for the free corps; that large numbers of Danzig youths had been sent to Ger many for training. Most of these reports asserted that 5000 or 4,0O0 German troops had filtered into the free city and that an international coup to seize control and proclaim reunion with the Reich was planned. Nazis scoffed at the reports on the grounds that they merely had to await the proper time to recover Danzig without bloodshed.
 Germany Has 70 Subs
 Germany, meanwhile, was said to have about 70 submarines = more than during the World War = in Baltic waters and to be completing a scheme for close aerail cooperation with her ally, Italy Fascist Foreign Minister Count Galeazzo Ciano al- so is going to Spain shortly to con- fer with Gen. Francisco Franco and possibly to try to persuade him to declare Spain military ally of the Nazi-Fascist bloc.
 Great Britain's troubles also con- tinued acute in the far east and in Palestine, where II Arabs were killed in a series of planned assassinations regarded as Jewish reprisals against a new land purchase decree.
 In the orient, Japanese naval au- thorities threatened to bottle up any British warships that remained in the blockaded port of Foochow, which will be mined by the Japanese as a result of the order-effective today-for foreign shipping to avoid the port.
 British protested but their war ships were expected to move out of the river rather than be marooned there by mines.
 There also were indications that the blockade of the British conceS- sion at Tientsin would be frightened shortly, despite the fact that Japan has agreed on basis of negotiation at Tokyo for solution of the dispute arising from Japanese charges that o-Chinese and "Communistic" el- ements were using the concession.
