FUEHRER CONVINCED ATTACK MEANS WAR
SLOVAKIA SEEN AS NEW GRAB
LONDON, July 9.
EUROPE believes that the Fuehrer, E for the moment, has given up the idea of a Danzig coup, for which the Nazis believed he was making feverish pre- parations at the end of last week. These preparations are now slackening.
Hitler is apparently finally convinced that Britain is determined to back up Poland with arms if an internal Nazi uprising is used in an attempt to deliver Danzig to the Reich. POLAND'S ATTITUDE
Poland's attitude has been very clearly stated by a Polish Foreign Office spokesman in Warsaw:
1.—Danzig must remain outside the Reich frontier. 2.-Danzig must remain inside the Polish Customs
area.
3---Polish rights must not be subjected to theoretical or practical control, and the militarisation of Danzig would be regarded as such control.
In answer to the clamour from the British press and Parlia-1 ment, Mr. Chamberlain is expected to reiterate during the coming | week, Lord Halifax's warning of a week ago that Britain is pre- "pared" to the fullest extent to carry-outhernti-aggression
commitments.
In addition, the Premier is expected to specifically mention the case of an internal coup in Danzig.
