“Relch Government was tofocmed of
, an exchange of netea belween the re-
" presentative of Poland in Danzig and
| the Benate of the Free City, accord-
+ ing te which the Polish Government
the form of ®& short-term ulti:
‘tum and undar threat of relalintary
“measures hed demanded the with-
drawal of an alleged ofder of the
Benste--an order which, in fact, had
never tesn agued concerning the ac-

This caused the Relch Gavernment to

telations «between Germany aha
Poiand, for the consequences of which
the Polish Government woukl alone

to solve the German-Pollsh problema
through negotlations terminating in a
a@ettament which should be Inter-
nationally guarentesd. ‘The Fuhrer, |
in hia cepry of August 23rd, set forth
the rea] chuses of the German-Polish
erlaia, He referred in particular to
the g¢herous propohal made by him
in) March of this year and stated that

afternoon of August 28th, accepted
the British proposal and declared that!
the Reich Government awalted the ar-
rival of a Polish representative veated

would, Hf possible, heave these ready
for the British Government before the

Only at ntidmlght did the British
Ambassador hand over a new mem-
