REDS

NAZI GAINS AT DANZIG POLL

BUT MAJORITY NOT SUFFICIENT

POLAND MAKES CHARGE OF TERRORISM

Danzig, April 7.

The Nazis' fight to obtain a two-thirds majority vote in the Diet elections secmed to-day to be doomed to fail, although final figures indicate that they had increased their aggregate vote by about 30,000, com- pared to the 1933 returns.

So far about 247,000 votes have been recorded, of which the Nazis have obtained approximately 148.000, or just over 60 per cent.

Socialists have thus far polled 39,779, the Centre Party 32,956, Communists 8,268, German Nationals 10,671, Polish Nationals 8,751.

Official figures are not available to-night, but will be known early in the morning.

een..

A Inter report, from Berlin, says that according to the provisional Anal figures, Issued by a German official agency, the Nazis polled 130,000 votes, or 59.9 per

ul of a total of 232,279.

Socialists polled 37,530, Com-] munists. 6,889, Centre Party 30- 059, German Nationals 9.760 and Poles, 8,100.

This result is undoubtedly a dis- appoinment to the National Social- Ists, who expected a sweeping victory.

The Supreme Council of National Defence to-day heard reports from M. Laval, Minister for Foreign Affairs, and the Ministers of War, Navy and Air, after which it was decided to ask the Cabinet to issue a decree to-morrow maintaining temporarily at least half the conscripts in the French Army, totalling 110,000 men, instead of liberating them in late April.

Meanwhile, three army corps have been despatch- ed to the German frontier forts.

It is hoped that a complete line of troops will presently be extended along the frontier from Belgium to Switzerland's borders.—United Press.

ITALY'S PLANS

Rome, April 7. Benito Mussolini, Premier of Italy, piloting his own tri-motered aeroplane, had to battle against strong bead winds at an altitude of 20,800 feet, when he successfully flow over the Apennines, en route to his summer home at Carminate to-day.

Arriving at his villa, he at once commenced drafting the proposal

which he will present to the con- ference of European powers at Stresa.
