Warsaw, To-day.
The Warsaw papers describe Dr. Greiser's. speech in Geneva as a "sensational attack on the League of Nations and its High Commissioner.” The Senate President's remarks were usually strong and it was obvious that he had only come to Geneva in order demonstratively to express his dislike for Mr. Sean Lester, the League of Nations, and the present connection of Danzig with the League of Nations.
Semi-official reports state that Dr. Greiser's critical attitude towards the League of Nations is in no way affected by the rela- tions between Poland and Danzig. It is not necessary to add, says the semi-official report, that the Polish interests in Danzig must not be prejudiced in any way under the pretext of a reform of the League of Nations or an alteration of the relations between the League and Danzig.·
Danzig: Indescribable enthusiasm was aroused here by Dr. Greiser's speech, the greater part of which was relayed by Joud-speakers erected at various points of the city. Dense crowds gathered in front of the loudspeakers and broke out, time after time, into spontaneous demonstrations of enttrosiasm
