NEW TERMS NOW INCLUDE THE RESTORATION OF THE POLISH CORRIDOR TO THE REICH.

Also they asserted that a week or ten days ago Hitler would have accepted the cessation of Danzig alone, but that he now insists on the Corridor also.

It has been learned that the British Ambassador called at the German Foreign Office on Monday and the French Ambassador made a similar call on Tuesday and that they both expressed in "positive" terms the British and French viewpoints regarding Danzig.

WANTS DIRECT NEGOTIATIONS

NEW YORK, Aug. 17, (Domei).—THE Berlin Bureau of the Associated Press, collating information in German Government circles and reports appearing in German newspapers, declares that Germany will no longer be satisfied with the return of Danzig alone but she will demand all her pre-war possessions in western Poland.

According to the report, Germany wishes direct negotiations with Poland, while official circles in Berlin deny the possibility of another Munich parley in which third Powers will take part. PREPARING CAMPAIGN

Asserting that the settlement of Danzig alone will no longer satisfy Germany, the Berlin correspondent of the Associated Press says that Herr Hitler's proposals last spring for the construction of a railway linking East Prussia with Germany proper is no longer identical Germany's demands at the present moment.
