Dispute Over Danzig In New Phase As Inspired German Press Bitterly Attacks Poland. PEACE CAMPAIGN By United Press The dispute over Danxlg entered a new phase today when the inspired German press opened a furious attack on Poland, significantly at a time of sharp controversy over activities of Polish customs offices in the tree city. The Nasi papers seised on an alleged statement by the Warsaw newspaper Cxas. a pro-government organ, aa the basis for the stuck. Cxss Is supposed to have said that Poland would bombard Dantig if the free city. In Ita desire for union with the Reich, should try to confront Poland with an accomplished fact. The attack coincided with a conference at Berchtesgaden between Fuehrer Adolf Hitler and Albert Forsy-r. Danxig Nasi leader. Such headlines as "Poland. Be Careful" appeared in screaming type and were echoed in Dauxlg by the leading Nasi organ in the free city. One comment was: "Germany's patience will not last forever. When It comes to sn end. it will write the closing sentence on modern Polish history." Ixindon sources regarded the Danxig situation as again dangerous. They expressed hope that Arthur Greiser, president of the Danxig senate, and Martan Cbodackl. Poliah representative in Danxig. would confer noon in an effort to reach a solution of the custome dispute. However, such a conference was believed to depend on what Inatructlona Hiller has given Forster, or gives him itoday A pea«-.- campsigti was begun by political parties In London, aimed ( a group of prominent men of all {at persuading the anti aggression powers to make a clear atatement of their peace alma, offering specific terms for a settlement and making some concesalona, although It was emphasised that the move la emphatically not one of "appeasement."
