• POLES OFFER COMPROMISE WARSAW, Poland, April 28.— Poland today proferred a compromise solution to the Danzig problem, involving joint German-Polish control of the free city, but authoritative quarters said Poland flatly rejected outright anschlus of Danzig with the Reich. Chancellor Hitlers abrogation of the German-Polish treaty of friendship and non-aggression of 1934 caused no surprise, since the German press for some time has been referring openly to incompatibility of the pact with the newly-concluded Anglo-Polish reciprocal guarantees. The German press also for weeks has been publishing stories about alleged Polish outrages against the Germanic minority in Poland. Official comment probably will not be forthcoming here until tomorrow.
