Nazi Press Off Again: Polish Draw Fire
Berlin, To-day. "The height of Polish impertinence," "Infamous playing with fire," and "Insufferable provoca- tion" is what the Nazi newspaper "Voelkischer Beobachter" to-day calls the commentary of the Polish newspaper "Czas" on Marshal Smig- ly-Rydz's speech at Cracow.
The Nazi paper says that it is Anglo-French back- ing which is mainly responsible for this dañ- gerous provocation. "Poland," it continues, "ought' to have understood long ago that deeds, not words, matter these days: and that nothing is more precarious than to rely on help from outside and to plunge into insane adven- tures Poland could not afford with- out risking her existence."
The "Voelkischer Beobachter" proclaims, as the official German news agency D.N.B. had done al- ready, that the Poles seem to for- get that Polish cannons would not. be the only ones to thunder and that the position of Poland was not really of a kind which would make it appear desirable for Po- land to make the acquaintance of a superior military force.
