The Polish Government was believed today to have given orders to local authorities to put down strictly any subversive activity of the German minority. Indications of this were seen in the fact that the Lodz court imposed fines of 20 zlotys ($3.80) on 20 persons for wearing “uniforms” including the traditional white socks at a meeting of a German group. Twelve young German girls have been indicted for illegal activity. They were accused of having organized secretly a Polish local section of the League of Young German Girls without official authorization.
Meanwhile, an authoritative spokesman here flatly denied reports published abroad that Josef Lipski, Polish Ambassador at Berlin, had brought back from Germany the Reich’s terms for a peaceful settlement of the differences between the two countries. It was stated that Lipski came back to Warsaw last week to receive instructions from the Government.
