Berlin, July 22.
A quiet. week-end, with no de velopments in Danzig, is'forecast by political circles.
Surprise is expressed that any unusual attention is being paid to the remarks made to foreign journalists yesterday by a spokesman, who said among other things, that although Herr Hitler was 100 per cent. determined to get Danzig without giving an inch, he was equally 100 per cent. anxious to gain it without a war. it is stated that this is merely a restatement of Germany's unswerving attitude and represents no new development or change in policy.
The spokesman's statement, ha" been received with general interest in London, says Reuter's Diplomatic Correspondent in the British capital. There seems no reason, he declares to doubt the claim of the German Government that it wants the September Nazi Party Congress al Nuremberg to be a "Congress of Peace."
As far as the British Government are concerned, the correspondent adds, they have already clearly stated their "standpoint, and it would' seem superfluous to repeat the declarations already made by Mr. Neville Chamberlain, the British Prime Minister, and Lord Halifax, British Foreign Secretary.
In the course of his statement, the spokesman said the hope was that Poland would work for a peaceful solution of the Danzig question on a sort of a quid pro quo basis that would damage her prestige as little as possible.—Reuter. themselves.
