Danzig Problem.

Next Sunday-the twenty-fifth an
niversary of the German world war
victory over the Russians-Hitler will
speak at Tannenberg where the i'm
mense Russian defeat was registered.
He may say something about the now
improved relationship between the
two countries, and he is also ex-
pected to say something about DAN
zig-that erstwhile German city
which he still insists on reuniting
with Germany proper. Much is said
to hinge on that speech, but predic-
tons are dangerous, for some of the
Hitler speeches have been followed
by decisive action; others have not,
so no one is in position to say any
thing definite in advance.
But, so far, the Danzig crisis is
running pretty close to British
forecast to the effect that a major
crisis will develop, and that at the
Hateful moment something will hap
pen to prevent it from breaking into
war. Tension is increasing right
along, but reasoned opinion, shared
by many in high and responsible
posts, is that it will be relaxed with
out resort to warfare.
Several factors are at work in the
interest of continued peace. Pope
Plus, for instance, is reported to have
sent an emissary to Warsaw to eau
ton Poland against being too inflex-
IDLE; Count Csaky, foreign minister
of Hungary, who during the last few
days has talked to both Hitler and
Mussolini, is said to have gone abroad
not for the purpose of aligning his
country with the Rome-Berlin axis
but in order to make mediation be-
tween Germany and Poland-about
Danzig-possible. And King Leopold
of Belgium has summoned a confer
ence of the so-called Oslo states
Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland,
Holland, Belgium and Gutenberg
in an effort to make a joint appeal
to the great powers to avert final
catastrophe.
