Danzig, 6 October. The question if the Polish navy had rights in this harbour was still unsolved. In the December meeting of the League of Nations this problem would be discussed but the approaching winter made the situation more and more urgent. The secretary general of the League asked general Haking the High Commissary of the League at Danzig to find a temporarily solution in the interest of the Polish navy. According to a local newspaper consisted this navy of 2 gunboats, 4 minelayers and 6 former German torpedo boats which were at that moment being repaired in England. Also the former cruiser
Dantzig was probably transferred to Polen. The merchant navy existed of the wood-built steamer
Krakow of 240 ton and a training vessel. For these few warships were five admirals, 248 officers and 2,000 sailors available.(1)
