ACT
WHILE POLAND has threatened to march if Danzig moves to join the Reich, well informed Nazi sources in Berlin are giving increasing indications of the belief that the Danzig issue will be solved in the near future by a pro- clamation from Danzig's 100 per cent, Nazi Senate that the free city has decided upon incorporation into the Reich.
Despite the Warsaw government warning, Nazi quarters profess to believe that Poland, when confronted by an accomplished fact, will not take military action.
However, they say that if the Poles should march, 50,000 well armed Nazis in Danzig could delay their advance sufficiently until assistance reached them from the Reich-United Press.
NO PACT WITH RUSSIA
WARSAW, May 13.-A spokesman of the Polish. Foreign Office to-day said there is no question of Poland entering a four power pact with Britain, France and

"We are not willing to make any move which might be interpreted as encirclement," he declared. "We desire to maintain good relations with our neighbours-if the same desire exists among them.”—United Press. HITLER IN AACHEN
