This week the German Air Minister, bull-necked General Hermann Wilhelm Göring, is scheduled to go to Danzig for a gala opera night of Parsifal, and most Danzigers assumed that from this night on their once Free City will be German in fact, if not by a Göring proclamation.

Scripps-Howard editors came & went with...
