home with us with some misgivings,
as we thought Geraldine Jewsbury
had some years ago given the public
the best of Jane Carlyle's letters.
Mr.. Scudder, however, is simply
reeking with new things and bits Of
intimacies about the Carlyles which
we had never dreamed For instance,
we did not know that Jane ever
called the great philosopher Tom"
we just gasped each time we read
it. The author tells us there are no
imaginary dialogues or scenes in the
book; everything is derived from
original sources which came from
the authors discovery, in 1929, Of
a collection of Jane Carlyle's letters
which he says he edited and pub
ished-those letters and later inter-
esting findings were the impetus Sor

Poles Expect Beck
To Answer No 10
German Demands
Doubt Speech Will Close
Door to Negotiations
With Reich, However
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
WARSAW, May 4.-The Polish
people, certain that Foreign Minister
Joseph Beck will answer mo" to-
morrow to German demands for
Danzig Free City and for a 15.5-
mile-wide artery across Pomorze
(Polish Corridor), awaited the
speech today without excitement.
The entire nation will gather at
11:15 am. (5:l5 am, E. S. T)
around its radios to hear Col. Beck
address the Sejm (ParliamenD. The
original speech will be broadcast
outside Poland by short wave, fol-
lowed by translations in English,
French and German.
Semi-ofhcial sources said the ad-
dress was not expected to close the
door on further negotiations, but
would be very firm" The tone of
the press has made clear that both
Poles and their government were
determined to resist any attempts
to cut Poland off from the Baltic.
The fact that German Foreign
Minister Joachim Won Ribbentrop
would be at Lake Como, Italy, con-
ferring with Italian Foreign Minis
ter Count Galeazzo CiaEo at the
time of Col Beck's speech caused
little impression here.
Meanwhile, in Polish political
quarters the resignation of Soviet
Foreign Commissar Maxim Litvinoff
was viewed optimistically. Litvinoff's S
successor, Vyacheslaff Molotoff, was
regarded as friendly to the principle
OF bilateral pacts with Britain,
France and Poland, instead of the
League OF Nations-style collective
security advocated by Litvinoff.

completely on the Western powers
now that her broad collective Sc
curity proposals have been virtually
rejected.
The possibility, instead, that she
might seek friendler relations with
Germany also was considered seri-
ously. In Russian circles in London
the effect of Litvinoff's removal on
present security negotiations was
minimized. Nevertheless, most per-
sons expected the change to bring
at least temporary setback to the
British-French diplomatic cam
paign,
Although there was no official
comment, informed sources here be-
lieved Litvinoff's replacement by
Vyacheslaff Molotoff was closely
linked with the negotiations with
Britain and France.
Some indication from Moscow on
these vital points was anxiously
awaited by the British foreign
Office
l. Whether the replacement of
Litvinof marked change of Soviet
foreign policy which thus far has
favored some sort of an alliance
with Britain and France.
Before word Of Litvinoff's resie-
nation reached London yesterday,
the British cabinet rejected Russian
proposals for triple military all-
ance of Britain, France and Russia
with guarantees of the independ-
ence of numerous smaller European
countries along the Baltic and Black
Seas.
1t was reliably reported the cabi-
net decided merely to urge Russia
to "reinsure" British French COM
mitments to Poland and Rumania.
2. Whether talks which Litvinoff
was said to have agreed to-talks
with French Foreign Minister
Georges Bonnet and British Foreign
Secretary Viscount Halifax at
Geneva May 15-would still take
place, with Molotoff representing
Moscow.
Lord Halifax was said to have
suggested the Geneva meeting to
break the deadlock between Britain
and France, on one hand, and the
Soviet Union.
3. Whether the new commissar
would speed up negotiations.
Some unconfirmed reports in Lon
don said the slowness of the nego-
tiations had been one of the causes
for Litvinoffs resignation.

Mrs. Roosevelt Urges
j. 5. Put House in Order

Mrs. Roosevelt, at her press con-
ference today, advocated putting
our own house in order" to set an
example to other nations that ques-
tions can be settled peaceably and
justly without using force.
IN answer to q question about
what women can do to avoid war she
said there is nothing anybody can
do beyond a long-range program OF
trying to create better feeling be-
tween nations and trying to UNDER
stand the reasons nations 60 to war.
Granting that many people in
this country are more concerned
about war than ever before, she said
"they should try to know more about
general conditions. It will not keep
them out of war but 1t might even
tually help them to understand
what weakens their own influence
and make them set their own house
in order, because, Of course, that is
one of the things every nation
should do.
Particularly this Nation, which

sion of German government officials,
is more heavily garrisoned and more
adequately supplied with instru-
ments of war, especially military
planes, than any other section of
Germany.
All that is necessary is for the
command to be given and German
divisions will swarm into Danzig
and Pomorze-from East Prussia
into the Free City and from Ger
many proper into the Corridor.
1t was contended that nobody
realized this more than Sir Neville.
He was reported reliably to be doing
everything possible to convince his
government it must put the brakes
on the Polish foreign minister.
In Danzig itself indications that
Col. Beck would be moderate in his
speech tomorrow were seen in an
address delivered by Vice Marshal
Surzynski of the Polish Sejm to the
Polish minority in the Free City
yesterday. Referring to the issues
between Poland and Germany, he
said "a compromise is not excluded" +"
Duce Presses for Peace.
It also was believed here that
Premier Mussolini was pressing the
Poles to be reasonable" But at
the same time there were signs that
he was using his influence equally
in the direction of urging Hitler not
to do anything that might lead to
q world conflict.
There were no indications here,
however, that the Rome-Berlin axis
was undergoing a strain. On the
contrary, the visit of Col. Gen. Wal
ther Won Brauchitsch, chief of staff
Of the army, to Italy and Libya was
believed to be strengthening the
axis military bonds even to the ex-
tent of his becoming acquainted
with the sort of territory German

Silence on Baltic Pacts.
German officials remained tight
Tipped regarding the terms of Hit
ler's offer Of non-aggression pacts
to Scandinavian and Baltic states.
The proposals to Sweden, Norway,
Denmark, Finland, Estonia and
Latvia for non-aggression treaties
were seen here as swift move to
forestall their possible inclusion in
the bloc receiving British French
guarantees, and to isolate and
cripple Poland in her diplomatic
relations because she rejected Hit
ler's offer to settle the Danzig and
Pomorze (Polish corridor) ques-
tionS.
(Sweden and Finland have
given Germany assurances that
they will remain neutral in case
of war in return for German con-
sent to fortification of the Aaland
Islands, the Chicago Daily News
reported from Berlin)
Polish "Greediness" Scored.
Agitation in some Polish circles
and newspapers for a Polish pro-
tectorate" over Danzig and for ces-
sion of Germany's East Prussia to
Poland was foremost in the thoughts
of Nazis as they considered the
Polish question.
Hitler's Voelkischer Beobachter
headlined its story from Warsaw,
Polish Greediness for German
Land"
Importance with which the ques-
ton was regarded was seen in a
statement of a foreign Office official
that IF Beck comes out in his
speech to the Sejm Friday in favor
Of Danzig protectorate, Germany
will consider it causus belli."
In general German newspapers ex-
pressed surprise over the sudden
resignation of Litvinof and said 1t
was due to "the failure of his
policies"

neutrality which would be well
come to Germany.
Others took the opposite view
that Moscow is on the verge of
aligning itself so definitely with
the nations which oppose further
expansion of Adolf Hitler's Reich
that Molotoff, one of the inner
circle Of Soviet leadership, has
been chosen to conclude the deal
Litvinoff was not in the inner circle
Soviet newspapers were not help
full. They devoted few lines to
announcement of Litvinoff's dis
placement, but printed much more
about the recent May Day cele-
brations and other internal issues.
The appointment of Molotoff was
front-paged by Moscow morning
newspapers, without comment, while
q four-line item on back pages re-
ported Litvinof had asked to be re-
lieved of the post.
The radio announcement said he
had been released from his duties
at his own request same words
used last September in announc-
ing the departure Of Nikolai Yezhoff
from his post of commissar of in
ternal affairs. (Yezhoff, whose post
included supervision of the political
police, was removed December 8,
but retained as commissar Of water
transport)
To foreign observers the elimina-
ton of Litvinoff was more of a
sensation than the removal of Yez-
hoff. Many believe a vital turn in
Russian foreign policy had come.
The fact that Litvinof for years
had been one of the chief targets
of Nazi attacks on what the Ger
man propaganda Minister Paul
Joseph Goebbels, and his colleagues
have described as Jewish bol-
shevism" was no proof that rela-
tions with Germany must now be-
come friendlier..

RADIANT LIVING
THE HEAVENLY TEMPLE
BY Rev. C. NJ, Griffeth
Pastor Ridgely NJ. f. Church
Ridgely. Md,

The massive temples and the lofty
cathedrals of the world are built TO
express in stone some great funda-
mental principle Of spiritual truth.
The Temple of King Solomon,
based on the symbolism of the Taber-
nacle of the wilderness, was COM
posed of three symbolic parts-the
outer court, the Holy Place, and the
Holy of Holies-expressing the truth
that the Holy God can not be ap-
preached except by a holy prepara-
lion and life.
The Christian cathedral is also
rich in symbolism. When looked
upon from above il is seen to be in
the form of the cross. emblematic Of
the death and atOnement of Jesus
Christ.
In no less manner the heavenly
Temple referred to by ST. John the
Divine i'm his Book of Revelation, is
rich in symbolic Significance.
Declares St John: Him that over
cOmeth will / make a pillar in the
Temple of my God, and he shall go
10 more out: and | will write upon
him the name of my God, and the
anne of the city of my God; and ]
will write upon him my new name"
This Temple is a symbolic picture
nf the truth which St. John hereby
sets before us that the Christian who
remains faithful unto the end will
become a vital part of the heavenly
and eternal House of God"
