Shouting “Down with the Germans!” and other anti-Reich slogans, a crowd of 2,000 students today staged a violent anti-German demonstration in front of the Reich Embassy here. The demonstration climaxed a parade through the city’s streets, with the students shouting “Down with the policy of Polish-German understanding! Let the Polish Army march on Danzig!”
The students also sang anti-German anthems, like the “Rota” whose chorus is: “No German will spit any longer in our faces nor Germanize our children. Our thresholds shall be our fortressesl We are the nation, the Polish people!” A police cordon around the Embassy failed to halt the demonstrators, who broke through the lines. The demonstration was in protest against ill-treatment of Poles in the Nazi-dominated Free City of Danzig.
In Parliament today Deputy Stanislas Janicki alluded to anti-Polish incidents in Danzig and demanded that an end be put to them. He asked that a cafe which put up a poster reading “Dogs and Poles not admitted” be closed.
