West Poland; Tension Noted by Observers Danzig, Apr. 13.

The Danzig Free City Government today protested to the Polish diplomatic representatives here against anti-German leaflets.

The Government, in the protest. charged that leaflets with the anti-German song "Rota" on them were being thrown from Polish state railroad cars during their passage through Danzig. The leaflets were also alleged to contain statements that Danzig is Polish and therefore is Polish property.

Regular conversations between Danzig and Polish officials regarding smaller incidents and problems have nut occurred in the last few days after the start of recent conferences on this subject. Political observers notice definite tension in Danzig and believe the interruption of the conversations was partly because the Danzig Government is awaiting specific instructions from Berlin The protest over the alleged distribution of leaflets, observers emphasized, was made after the flight of 100 nans from Poland.—United Press.
