Poland Calm

Warsaw, June 29.

There are no signs of agitation here following reports of Nazi military preparations in Danzig.

The Polish press asks whether a putsch is impending. The capital is seething with rumours of possible trouble, but the general attitude can be summed up as one of vigilance and watchfulness.

In a broadcast address today, President Moscicki emphasized that the ports of Danzig and Gydnia had an exceptionally great significance for Poland's national economy.

That was why Danzig, he added, had been bound to Poland by so many ties for centuries.

The President declared that both ports were freely open to merchant ships of all nations.—Reuter.
