government, far from accepting Germany's demands for cession of danzig and for strategic road through the Polish corridor to con- meet East Prussia and Germany proper, intended to advance to Lip ski, new Polish demands for increas- ed rights in Danzig. It was un- derstood that for one thing Poland would demand the right to protect it's interests in Danzig harbor by means of a militarized police corps.
 Country Patriotic
 The country's patriotic spirit was evident. For the first time since Poland regained its independence after the World War, armaments workers all over the country in- stead of holding May day processions stuck to their jobs.
 Thus armaments factories gained an additional days production.
 While the Poles took strong stand to strengthen the European anti-ag- gression front, the British govern ment continued hesitant toward concluding an alliance with Soviet Russia.
 Fear to Arouse Japan
 The standing fears of some British government leaders of Com munism appeared to be less of an obstacle than concern over arousing of other countries, in- cluding Japan. The Japs virtually have threatened to join a military alliance with Germany and Italy If Britain concludes an alliance with Moscow.
 The threat was intended to break up the British-French efforts to bring Russia into the anti-aggres- sion front and there were some in- dications that it might succeed un- less the situation in Europe be- comes so grave that Britain cannot afford to worry over the anti-Com- munist attitude of Rumania, Bull garia, Portugal and other nations which at one time or another have been involved in a life and death struggle with Communism at home.
 Nazis Are Confident
 NaziS have appeared confident that circumstances will prevent in- clusion of the Russians in the anti aggression front but reliable British sources insist that it is merely a matter of further negotiation. They pointed out that Poland has been less opposed to cooperation with Russia since Germany suddenly turned toward solution of the Dan- zig question and argued that a treaty with Moscow can be worked out to avoid fears C smaller nations in eastern Europe.
 In Berlin, Marshal Hermann Goering put new emphasis on the Nazi May Day celebrations which were designed to show the strength and unity of the Reich. He said that there could be no disunion in Ger many.
 An unofficial French delegation which toured the Spanish province of Gerona reported upon arrival at VI P46Ala11 plldU WClC 1lO olSIlS of Italian troop movements or for tifications near the French Pyrenees frontier.
 British COnscription
 The British conscription bill ap- plies to every British male of the United Kingdom at the age of 20 years, with the exception of north ern Ireland and the Isle of Man to which it may be extended by royal decree.
 The ministry of labor will take charge of men who are registered and accepted for militia training.
 Military authorities will inform the labor ministry of the number of men required and their disposition. It was regarded that. after the bill had been passed, probably early next week, the war office would call men up every three months about 50,OOO each time.
