Poland Left

Paris, May 9.-(AP)-France and
Britain were reported in diplomatic
circles today to have left to their
ally, Poland, the final decision as
to whether to act on feelers put for
ward by Pope Plus XII for negotia-

Poland and Germany over Danzig.
In these circles, it was said that
Britain and France had let Poland
know that they were anxious to see
the problem of the free city on the
Baltic settled by negotiation, If pos
sible.
The pope's suggestions, diplomats
said, were made to the German,
Polish, British, French and Italian
governments by ENJOYS of the Vati-
can, acting on personal instructions
from the holy father.
The British government was I'M
derstood to be more receptive to the
papal plan than the French govern
ment
There was no indication in Paris
diplomatic quarters as to what Po-
lands attitude might be.

of armed strength that gave German
military leaders a further oppor-
tunity to appraise the fascist war
machine, which MussOlini has agreed
to harness to German might in a
military alliance.
Mussolini spoke only about so
words in two sentences. To introduce
the statement on 'the force of our

"On the third anniversary of the

first observance Of the holiday dedi-
Gated to the army, you have par

Britain Is
Warned To
BePrepared.
Nation Must "Sleep
on Its Haversack"
War Secretary Tells
Commons in Seeking
Permission To Draw
Up New Armed Forces

London, May 9.-(AP)-War Sec
rotary Hoare-Belisha declared today
that the British nation "must sleep
on its haversack" He addressed the
House of Commons during debate on
bill to enable the government to
call up reserves OF the army, navy
and air forces.
Hoare-Belisha announced that a
large proportion of the regular army
reserves, including officers, would be
called up in patches this year. This,
he said, would "enable the regular
army to train at war strength in re-
gular formation and put the regular
army in position, if necessary to take
the field at short notice"
The bill under debate would en-
able the government to call up re-
serves secretly, eliminating the pres
ent system, under which proclama-
ton by the king is necessary.
(The regular army reserves and
supplementary reserves total about
170,0O0)
The war secretary said that anti
aircraft units of the territorial army
corresponding to the national
guard) would be called in rotation,
with no man serving more than one
month. These units will man search
lights and anti-aircraft guns on "a
hour day schedules.
Give such divisions totaling H.
900 officers and men, had been en-
rolled up to February ~
Meanwhile, British negotiations
for an alliance with Soviet Russia
were believed to have gained firmer
ground because of indicated increas-
ing friendliness between Russia and
Poland. Polish suspicious of her big
neighbor have impeded British eff
forts to bolster the British-French
front with Soviet military might.
But the announcement that Rus
STA was sending an ambassador to
the vacant Moscow post was taken
by diplomatic observers to indicate
closer collaboration between the two
nations now.

Jap Threat
At Shanghai
Is Bo1nbshell
BY CHARLES p. STEWART
Central Press COlUn1nfSt

Washington, May 9.-Japan's i'm
piled threat of military occupation
of Shanghai's foreign sett cement,
near the Chinese coast, fell with
something of bombshell's emphasis
upon the State Department in Wash
ington the other day. 1t doubtless
landed with equal force in LondOn's,
Paris and several other European
capitals foreign offices.
The mikado's warning was to the
effect that anti-Japanese activity
within the foreign settlements linn
its must stop or an "acute eitua ton"
will result. And this activity, it was
plainly charged, is encouraged by the
settlements Occidental residents.
Probably Tokyo didn't intend to in
clude Germans and Italians among
said Occidentals, considering how
close its hookup is with Berlin and
Rome. Certainly Americans, Eng

however; presumably Dutch. Bel
CLANS and miscellaneous others also.

To understand the matter it's nee
essary to take into account the fact
that the Shanghai settlement is the
foreigners very own. It's as much
Americas as Broadway is; as much
English as Piccadilly; as much
French as the Rue de la Paix.
So when the Japanese talk about
grabbing it, they virtually suggest a
grab of American, English and
French soil.
IT started like this.
About 100 or more years ago the
western powers were trying to es-
tablish trading bases on the Chinese
coast The then Peking government
had no particular objection, but it
didn't want to be bothered with the
adjustment of >piffling complications
among these outer barbarians on the
edge of it's territory. Accordingly the
emperor agreed, cpl give your -vari-
Gus nationalities a concession apiece
