Mr. F. M. Shepherd to Viscount Halifax.
(Telegraphic.) Warsaw, July 25, 1939.
HERR FORSTER informed High Commission yesterday that Danzig question could, if necessary, wait a year or more, and said that military precautions now being taken would be liquidated in the middle of September.
2. Meanwhile, there is increasing amount of horse and motor transport visible, and frequent reports reach me of men being called up and of arrival of men and material from East Prussia. While I cannot at present confirm these reports, it would be unwise to ignore them. There are numerous warehouses and other buildings in Danzig where material could be stored and men housed.
3. I learn that a certain Major-General Eberhard is now in command here.
