DANZIG AND WOR
All eyes are at present focus- sed upon Danzig. We publish below an article on this burning question by Dr. Hermann Rau- schning, former National-Social- ist President of the Senate of the Free City, and, as such, the Head of the Danzig Government. Mr. Rauschning, a former col- laborator of Chancellor Hitler, withdrew of his own accord from his high office in Novem- ber 1934. He has remained a German Nationalist and is deep- ly concerned with the future of the Free City. Mr. Rauschning is therefore particularly compe- tent to deal with this problem with a full knowledge of facts.
THE Danzig problem can very

well be solved. But a solu- tion fair to all partners presup- poses the pacification of Europe. Above all, these partners must give proof of their good will.
Up to Hitler's arrival in pow- er, this problem had matured in a favourable sense, without un- der-estimation of Poland's claims to a free access to the sea. It may even be said that, without the national socialist
regime, Danzig would certainly have been reintegrated in the Reich in a Europe pacified and disarmed by treaty and engaged in a progressive cooperation. But the problem has first be- come insoluble in a Europe di- vided and disintegrated by hos- tile competition, in which each State and member of a race ex- hibits itself as the final and highest object of political and moral life.

Discussion is sterile, whether based upon the national charac- ter of a people,
what Hitler called vital space on the occasion of his occupation of Prague. The Versailles solution represents the sole compromise after the war between the two claims and the two motives. But there is no better solution even if one eliminates at pre- sent the claims and the vital rights of one of the parties. This is, however, clearly and unambiguously implied in Hit
ler's demands,

It is true that, before the war, Danzig was a German city. It had been that for centuries not- withstanding the domination of the Kingdom of Poland. Earlier history can be relegated to the background. What is decisive is that during the century in which Danzig belonged to Germany or rather to Prussia, there was no such thing as Poland and there-

fore no compelling desire on the part of that country to have a free access to the sea. At that time, the remoter hinterland of Danzig belonged to Russia. And Russia had her own harbours and did not need those of the Free City. But from the geo- graphical and political stand- point, the bay of Danzig is a unit. A glance at the map shows that between a hostile Germany and Poland no division is possible. Such a division would not make for peace but would merely approach the match to the powder-barrel. However, great the desire of a German citizen of Danzig to be reintegrated in a pacific Ger- man Reich, it must still be em- phasised that if Danzig were to fall into the hands of the Im- perialist and national socialist Third Reich, this would mean the equipment of the bay of Danzig as a German naval base. It would mean the destruction of the sole Polish harbour of Gdynia (an operation which would be readily feasible at any time). It would mean that Po land could be easily debarred from access to the sea. Finally, it implied the cession by Poland of the Vistula corridor. It amounts to the partition of Po- land and of the elimination of Poland as a coming Great Pow- er.

Hitler's political method is therefore the least suitable to bring about a lasting new solu- tion of the problem of Danzig. And his policy as conducted up to the present cannot in any way justify his claim to advo- cate the re-integration of the Free City into Germany on the pretext of the definitely German character of the town. He has lost the right to this view through the occupation of Pra-

Years ago, I had an opportun- ity of hearing confidential and personal explanations with re- the gard to Hitler's policy of east the socalled east space.
The point was that the German
Reich
should subordinate a series of semi-sovereign States in the east and control them through a political and military alliance. They were intended to be the supporters of the econo- mic and political structure of a superior Germany. The great German farmers were to obtain labour for their land from the foreign races. The inexhaustible man-power of these countries was to be employed by the Reich
