Last week, Germany's journalistic big guns, their aim corrected twice daily, poured an unceasing barrage on Poland. Danzig's Nazi Gauleiter Albert Forster spent two hours with the Führer, hurried to Danzig to thunder still another demand for its return to the Reich-but significantly set no date nor hour for the return. Danzig itself was in a bad way. Its business had gradually approached a standstill-and Nazi papers accused Poland of strangling its trade. Its armed force of Nazis was estimated at 15,000, augmented last week by 1,500 spade-equipped members...

This half-interest Joe Knowland put up as collateral for a loan with which he bought the other half of the paper.

Publisher Knowland...
