In another region, the assimilation of Danzig to German ideals is continuing rapidly. The Nuremberg laws are being applied there, The guarantees of the League of Nations have been practically eliminated and Danzig has become a German town.
At one time a "trade" was being considered over Danzig and Car-pathic Ukrainia: Germany to el satisfaction in the Free City, giving -up, in return, her ambitions in Ukrainia. No accord was reached.

Hence Poland's renewal of the nonaggression pact with Soviet Russia who would also have to contribute in part in any eventual creation of an independent Ukrainian state.—Havas. history.
