London, July 5.
Clear and specific warning to Germany upon the consequences of German intervention in Danzig would most probably be made by the British Government today, political quarters asserted last night. A Cabinet meeting is to be held today, and the Prime Minister, Mr. Neville Chamberlain, may then himself issue the warning in the form of a public declaration in the House of Commons. British Ministers studied the whole problem and decided to make either a demarche direct to the Wilhelmstrasser, seat of the Reich's Government, or else a public statement, it was learned. The first method was employed during last year's September crisis, and it failed. On further discussion, therefore, it was decided by the majority of Ministers to take the second course.
Lord Halifax, it was learned, wished to take the opportunity offered by the present slight easing of tension and not wait for a crisis before fully committing himself and his colleagues. Consultations were actively pursued with the French Government throughout yesterday as the text of the warning declaration was being prepared. It was impossible to obtain any definite indications as to the final wording of the statement.—Havas,
