S. Lester requested F. Walters' and the Secretary-General's views regarding the procedures: a report by the Rapporteur would have been the normal procedure, S. Lester proposed the appointment of a Committee to report on the Zentrum Party's petition and Catholic Priests' petition, as well as to study some Danzig constitutional points, or that the Rapporteur wished the matter to be adjourned to enable him to study the legal points raised, S. Lester thought either of these procedures would be better than the mere withdrawal of the questions from the Council Agenda.
Letter referring to the story reported by the "Journal des Nations" on a report S. Lester would have made to the League of Nations Secretariat on incidents in the Volkstag during its dissolution meeting.
Regarding Letters from S. Lester.
Elections in Danzig made it difficult to pay a visit to S. Lester.
Enclosed is F. Walters' reply in English of 30 April 1935: Danzig questions to the Council, Rapporteur's report, F. Walters' wish to write to W. Strang about all this.
A. Loveday considering the matter; Schacht's speech: Germany not in a position to give financial support to the Danzig banks; A. Loveday or a member of his Section to go to Danzig; Poland's protest against the Exchange Restrictions Decree.
On "Volkstimme"; Jurists Committee; Danzig financial situation.
Regarding presumably the Committee (of Jurists?) to meet.
League of Nations' Secretariat at the disposition of the Danzig Government if its aid is required; more information needed for representations to the Bank for International Settlements; if necessary someone from the Financial Section might be sent to Danzig to study the situation.
