Note from E. Giustiniani, an Italian, who was S. Lester's principal secretary, on Polish children refused at school; and on A. Greiser's speech explaining that the "Landespolizei" was a regular army at Danzig, speech that was the cause of the disagreement between the League of Nations and Danzig.

Evasive answer from A. Greiser, Vice-President of the Danzig Senate, to S. Lester: A. Greiser, who was temporarily replacing president H. Rauschning, denied any quarrel existed between the Party and the Senate, he recalled the members of the Senate had taken an oath of loyalty to the Constitution, they will not break, and denied he or the Senate contemplated putting into force the policy outlined in A. Forster's demands, since he even denied any demand from A. Forster on the Senate.

A. Greiser's speech at a meeting of the National Socialist Party in Danzig, reported in the "Danziger Vorposten"; copy of A. Greiser's speech in French, entitled "Discours prononcé par le Vice-Président du Sénat M. Greiser à la Sporthalle le 9 octobre 1934 (D. Vorposten du 10.X.1934)".

H. Rauschning remained on so-called sick leave and refused to resign; disputes between H. Rausching, A. Forster and A. Greiser were only rumours due to Polish newspapers' misrepresentations; A. Forster's speech on the Party policy based on a so-called loyalty to the Constitution and policy of conciliation with Poland; Budding's view (Regierungs Präsident of East Prussia) on Danzig internal political trouble due to the economic factors more than to the political ones; for S. Lester it was a pity to drop a man like H. Rauschning, who could contribute to the well being of Danzig and international security.

S. Lester wanted to be informed on the number of such weapons carried in Danzig.

A. Greiser afraid of what newspapers will publish following this visit, he suggested Schäfer, President of the Bank of Danzig, to go to Geneva to be at the disposition of the Finance Section (enclosed are letters in German of 26 June 1935 from A. Greiser to S. Lester).

S. Lester's letter of 10 July 1935 to A. Greiser requesting full information on Danzig "Einwohnerwehr"; remarks made in 1931 by S. Lester's predecessor on the "Einwohnerwehr" (Civil Guard): they should not be organised in military formation and the sole purpose of their institution was to replace the regular police in carrying out certain secondary services.
