Summary/Abstract: Two political writers, perfectly qualified to expose and to defend the points of view of their countries, Mr. Casimir Smogorzewski and Mr. Professor Hoetzsch, former member of the Reichstag, have, in turn, treated in this review, and with an entire frankness, the important question of German-Polish relations, considered in their details and as a whole. To tell the truth, their theses collide on more than one point; and especially when they approach, in their courteous discussion, the subject of the “Dantzig Corridor”, one measures the depth of the abyss which separates them. However, both Mr. Casimir Smogorzewski and Professor Hoetzsch insist, in the conclusions of their interesting articles, on the need for Germany and Poland to maintain good relations and they underline the fact that the state of these relations determines, to a large extent, the very situation of Europe. It is from the angle of this axiom that we will place ourselves to examine here, in all objectivity, what must be thought of at present of the controversy of which the former province of Pomerelia — now commonly called the "corridor" — is the object.
