Germany and Poland obligate themselves to make restitution for all economic and other damages to their respective minorities; for instance, to invalidate all expropriations or make full restitution for these and other injuries to economic life of the persons concerned.

14. In order to take from those Poles remaining in Germany as well as from those Germans left in Poland the feeling 8f lack of international rights and in order, primarily, to offer them security that they will not be subject to call for actions or services incompatible with their national feelings, Germany and Poland agree to assure the rights of respeétive minorities through maintenance of their free development and national activity, and particularly toward this end, to permit organizations which these (minorities) consider necessary. Both parties obligate themselves not to subject members of a minority to military service.

CITES EVASIONS

The German Government further pointed out that it believes it is able to inform the British Government of the principles of this offer of understanding before the arrival of a Polish negotiator. Instead of the announcement of the arrival of an authorized Polish personalily, the German Government received as an answer to its preparedness to come to an understanding. Reports of Polish mobil ization, and not until almost midnight of August 30 did it receive assurance by the British Government that it was ready, on its part, for negotiations. Although the absence of the expected Polish representative removed the necessity of informing the British Government of Germany's views regarding the possible bases of negotiation, the British Government itself having recommended direct negotiation between Germany and Poland, For-

ernment. The Reich Government considers {it suitable to make public these |bases for negotiations which were (made known to the British am{bassador. The situation between {Poland and Germany is at the present time such that each incident can lead to a discharge of the military forces that have already gone into position on both sides.

Every peaceful solution must be made so that the same events cannot be repeated at another time, in that way nct only bringing in the east of Europe but bringing other districts also into the same tension. The reasons for this development must be seen first in the impossible drawing of the border as completed through the Versailles Treaty; secondly, in that impossible treatment of minorities in districts which have been separated.

The German Government starts

her thoughts therefore by considering a final solution, which will re-

‘WAITED IN VAIN’

The German Government believed itself entitled to expect, under these circumstances, that a

border and secure for both parts their vital lines of communication, remove the minority problem as far as possible and as far as this is not possible, make the fate of the minority bearable through a secure guaranty of their rights. The German Government is convinced that it is necessary to reveal and to make good completely the economic and physical damage which has been done since 1918.

of Danzig and East Prussia after completion of voting, and in order to guarantee to Poland her connection to the sea, Germany will be given, in event the territory voted on goes to Poland, an extra territorial communications zone approximately on a line between Tuetow and Danzig or Dirschau for construction of a motor highway as well as a four-track railway Construction of the highway will be carried out in such fashe ion that Polish communications
