The Polish press has been conducting a discussion as to whether Poland’s defense policy is directed against Hitler’s imperialistic Reich or against Germans as such, according to the newspaper Der Deutsche in Polen.

The discussion resulted from statements in the leftist press that a distinction should be drawn between the Nazi regime and the German people. The conservative newspaper Czas replied sharply that only Jews and Socialists were interested in seeing Hitler’s regime overthrown but Germany spared. It added that the Polish nation did not intend to be used for the interests of the “red” or the “golden” international. A leading Government organ was quoted as declaring that any kind of German imperialism was dangerous to Poland.
