Since H. Rauschning retired degenerated situation in Danzig; Berlin Authorities requested tranquillity in Danzig; for S. Lester the situation in Danzig was a possible threat of war against the Constitution and the guarantee of the League of Nations; S. Lester skeptic on the future of Danzig if H.

Lester pressed hard for the Senate's reply.
S. Lester on A. Greiser's Constitution assurances: a National Socialist State could not be set up unless the Constitution were to be regarded as a farce; Boettcher: it seemed "treason" that German Danzigers appealed against their own Government to outside authorities; for S. Lester it was rather silly not to appeal to the League of Nations, not a foreign institution but an international one and that a German Danziger be expected to prefer the use of international right to the suppression of his Party; philosophy of National Socialism: all opposition parties should disappear; if Volkstag election probably union of all the opposition parties.

Greiser had nothing to do with the so-called five points, question of the "Kulturkammer", A. Greiser's personality, Danzig Constitution, Catholic Priests' petition regarding the Catholic Youth organization, election results.
