A
blockade
of
the
Polish
harbor
of
Gdvnia
soon
followed
Hitler's
orders
to
the
Army
and,
after
a
brief
period
of
fichting
in
Danzig,
the
Free
Port
was
declared
a
part
of
the
German
Reich
by
Albert
Forsler.
Almost
immediately
Hitler
gave
his
legal
approval
to
the
decree.
The
constitution
of
Danzig
under
the
Treaty
of
Versailles
was
declared
dissolved
as
far
as
Germany
was
concerned
and
For-stcr
was
named
head
of
the
civic
government.
Hitler
thanked
Danzig
for
its
loyalty.
Next
developments
were
air
raids
on
Cracow
and
other
Polish
cities.
Later
in
the
morning
there
was
an
air
raid
on
a
railway
station
eight
miles
from
Warsaw.
Hitler,
in
a
momentous
Reichstag
gathering,
declared
that
he
would
achieve
the
return
of
Danzig
and
the
Polish
Corridor
and
halt
Polish
attacks
on
Germans
or
die
fighting.
"I
am
putting
on
a
uniform
and
shall
take
it
off
only
in
victory
or
death."
Hitler
has
dwelt
on
numerous
occasions
of
late
with
the
possibility
of
his
own
death
and
he
mentioned
it
again
in
the
Reichstag
speech.
If
he
should
meet
death
he
mentioned
Field
Marshal
Herman
Goering
as
his
successor.
If
anything
happened
to
Goering
Rudolf
Hess,
Hitler's
deputy,
would
take
over.
If
anything
happened
to
all
three,
then
the
Senate
would
select
a
worthy
leader.
Dcr
Fuehrer
spoke
throughout
as
if
war
was
already
under
way
but
he
did
not
officially
declare
war.
Hitler
went
on
to
refer
to
recent
proposals
to
settle
the
dispute
with
Poland
by
what
he
claimed
was
a
moderate
formula.
The
Poles
hail
rejected
this
and
he
had
answered
with
mobilization.
His
love
of
peace
and
his
patience
had
been
exhausted.
He
had
last
night
informed
Great
Britain,

"Senseless

LONDON,
September
1:
(CP)
Prime
MihUtcr
Neville
Chamberlain
read
to
an
emergency
session
of
Parliament
at
5
o'clock
this
evening
a
note
sent
to
Berlin
warning
that,
unless
Germany
suspends
aggressive
action
and
withdraws
from
Poland,
Great
Britain
will
unhesitatingly
fulfil
its
obligations
to
Poland.
If
the
reply
to
this
last
warning
is
not
favorable,
the
British
ambassador
to
Berlin
will
be
instructed
to
ask
for
his
passports.
The
Prime
Minister
said
that
he
did
not
suggest
that
the
German
replv
"is
likely
to
be
anything
else
than
unfavorable."
He'adtkd
:
"the
time
has
come
for
action."
Mr.
Chamberlain
placed
the
responsibility
"for
this
terrible
catastrophe"
on
Hitler.
".Mussolini
has
been
doing
his
best,"
Chamberlain
added.
He
said
that
"Hitler
has
not
hesitated
to
plunge
the
world
into
misery
in
order
to
serve
his
own
senseless
ambitions."
Then
the
Prinme
Minister
continued:

with

Hostilities
commenced

today
with

of
Poland
'af

points.
Air
raids
of
the'
Polish
capital,
Warsaw
Cracow
and
other
cities
were
early
reported.
There
has
also
been
artillery
attack.
There
was
no
formal
declaration
of
war
by
Germany.
Adolf
Hitler,
Fuehrer
of
the
Reich,
ordered
the
German
army
to
meet
fore
with
force.
His
order
of
the
day
to
the
Army
read:
"The
Polish
state
has
rejected
my
efforts
to
establish
neighborly
relations
and,
instead,
has
appealed
to
weapons.
Germans
in
Poland
are
victims
of
a
bloody
terror,
driven
from
house
to
house.
A
series
of
border
violations
unbearable
for
a
great
power
show
that
the
Poles
no
longer
are
willing
to
respect
the
German
border.
To
put
an
end
to
these
insane
incidents
nothing
remains
for
me
but
to
meet
force
with
force
from
now
on.
The
German
army
will
conduct
a
fight
for
honor
and
the
right
to
the
life
of
the
resurrected
German
people
with
firm
determination.
I
expect
that
ev-
he
had
decided
to
talk
as
Poland
talks
"with
force."
Hitler
said
that
he
wanted
nothing
from
the
western
powers
(Great
Britain
and
France)
and
"we
have
formally
declared
we
have
no
claims
against
them.
We
do
not
want
to
wage
war
on
women
and
children"
he
said
but
added,
if
an
"enemy"
dared
wage
"another"
war
of
that
sort
he
would
answer
"bomb
for
bomb,
gas
for
gas."
