TO BECOME MORE ACUTE

Paris, To-day.

IT WAS ANNOUNCED here yesterday evening that M. Bonnet, the Foreign Minister (who has been spending the week-end on his estate near St. Georges de Didonne, Southern France), will resume his duties at the For- eign Office this morning.

Commenting on the unexpectedly early return of M. Bon- net to Paris, political quarters here declare that his presence in Paris was deemed necessary in view of the international situation which is far from calm.

It is believed that tension in the Danzig conflict will become far more acute during the course of the present week, and some papers intimate that this week will bring developments which are to he regarded as a prelude to important decisions.

! It is stressed that to-day, when M. Bonnot resumes his official duties, is the Feast of the As- sumption of Our Lady, a legal holiday whan all shops are olosed and, normally, no business le transacted. In any Government.
