Warsaw, June 19.
Nothing was changed in the situation of Danzig by the address delivered there last night by Dr. Joseph Goebbels, Reich's Propaganda Minister, Polish political quarters asserted today.
Dr. Goebbels only repeated what Herr Adolf Hitler had stated on April 28. in his Reichstag speech, when he had uttered German claims on the Free City.
Moreover, since that time, Poland had not in any way changed her position from that outlined on May 5 by Col Joseph Beck, when he stated Warsaw was ready to negotiate but only on a basis of full equality, they concluded.—Havas.
Intellectuals Under Public Control "Danzig's Desire"
In the Third Reich, the speaker said, all brain warkers had to subordinate their activities to the interests and well-being of the entire people, whereas in democratic countries they served capitalistic and material interests. In reality, cultural development in Germany was always under public control.
As one example, Dr. Goebbels cited the film and showed the great market potentialities which lay in a community of 80 million people. "We do not need to worry much about the unduly conspicuous competition of the North American Union," he declared. "Germany has today the possibility of pursuing a certain cultural autarchy, not by any means to her own disadvantage, but rather to that of other countries which talk a lot about culture but which, as their history proves, they do not possess."
Berlin, June 19.
The cheers which arose every time Dr. Joseph Goebbels, Minister of Propaganda, alluded to Danzig's desire for union with the Reich when he addressed a rally at Danzig over the week-end, are greeted here as "Danzig's option for the Reich."
Dr. Goebbels is generally referred to as an emissary of Herr Hitler.
The "Voelkische Beobachter" proclaims: "Today Danzig knows that it is not alone. -That is the historic meaning of June 17, 1939."
In the course of his speech Dr. Goebbels said there could be no doubt about the German character of Danzig, and that even their opponents did not deny it.
In this difficult and trying time. Dr. Goebbels concluded, trust should be placed in the German Fuehrer. "Before us stands the Reich, great, strong and unconquerable. Behind us stand the people and over us the Fuehrer."—Trans-Ocean.
