 Tomorrow the Strand ushers in an all-Italian talking and singing pie ture Ave Maria" with Beniamino Gigli, famous tenor in the leading role.
 Signor Gigli has appeared in some of the leading cities of the world and has added performances at the Metropolitan Opera House to his long list of triumphs, Inci- dentally, this marks Gigli's second appearance at the Strand and those who intend to see the show either tomorrow or Thursday are in for a big treat, for the famous tenor is said to be at his best.
 The second big attraction will be "a picture of majesty and truth, "The Life of Pope Plus XI" The many important events in the life of His Holiness from the time of his elevation to the throne of St. Peters to the time of his death will be de- picted during the course of the film.

NO REDUCTIONSIN
 STATE WPAF0RCES
Connecticut Within Quota {; No Advance Information
 Yet on May Allowance

No arbitrary reductions in WPA project or supervisory personnel for the current month are anticipated for Connecticut, according to a statement today by State Adminis- trator Vincent J. Sullivan. MT. Sul- livan. said that the approval by the House of Representatives of & $100 100000 additional appropriation to WPA, instead of the requested $150, 100000, will necessitate a re- duction h the nations rolls of ap- proximately 100000 by April 8.
 However, the administrator ex- plained, due to the separations of non-citizens from the WPA rolls and o tie reductions caused by the statewide recertification processes, Connecticut; present WPA employ ment load comes within the auth orized quota of 25,950 for April. MT. Sullivan added that while there ap- pears to be no cause for reductions in WPA employment this month, fjgures for May are not yet avail able.
 If no funds had been appropriat- ed, MT. Sullivan stated, Connecti- cuts WPA employment for April would have been set at about 24,000 and thc authorized May employ ment would have been 18,000.

well consider that Poland's cause was theirs, and their intervention (espe- cially Yugoslayias might be exceed ingly embarrassing.
 It may, however, be quite as justly observed that long drawn out Eu- ropean war is hardly more desirable from the British or French view point. The terrible damage and slaughter which London and Paris might have to sustain, would alone give pause-as it has in the past-to governments concerned. The effort needed to overcome Germany (pro- viding the German home front stands fasD will be very great-per- haps as great as in the last war, the sacrifices of which left so deep 8 scar on the social and economic structure of every country concerned in it.
 It is even possible that air attacks on the civil population of Britain and France might prove decisive. On the whole the chances are that unless air attacks did prove quickly deci- siye, Germany would be beaten by sheer superiority of resources, in the end, with or without Italian help. But what would be the state of the victor when the thing is done?
 The recent declaration of the Brit ish government with regard to Po- land may therefore be taken as an attempt to avoid the occurrence of a European struggle, by presenting

Nazis Could Attack Poland By Land
 And Her Franco British Allies By Air
Each Side Would Suffer In Long
 War, Says Eliot

Germany with so unpalatable a pros pect as to give her rulers pause.
 As long as Germany can, without serious risk of war, proceed with her piece-meal devouring of her neighbors, acquiring meanwhile new strategic positions, new sources of raw materials, and spreading the terroP of her name farther and far ther outward from her borders, she may be expected to do so. And one day the process may make her 50 powerful as to be interchangeable either in the east or west.
 It has taken a long time for this crucial fact to be properly appreci- ated in London. That it is now so appreciated, the startling volte-face in British policy contained in MT. Chamberlain's announcement makes abundantly clear.

Capital, Labor, Unite
 For Pottery Exhibit
 At NY. Worlds Fair

New Tor. - Hailed as one of the most significant documents that ever harmonized capital and labor contract has just been signed for joint exhibit at the New York Worlds Fair 1889 by the United States Potters Association and the National Brotherhood of Operative Potters. To help their employers in this project the Brotherhood has subscribed s30,000 of its long -accum- ulating strike fund.-"
 The signatories were: The Asso- ciation's president, w. H. Locke-An- derson; James H. Duffy, president of the Brotherhood; John McGilli- vary, the Brotherhood's secretary treasurer, and Grover A. Whalen, presiding executive of the Fair Corporation. According to the lat ter. the exhibit will unite employer and employe for the first time in the history of trade unionism behind a single promotional enterprise.
 Moreover, by emphasizing the quality and workmanship of good American pottery, the exhibit is ex- pected to give tremendous impetus to the industry in this country. Sponsors of the display also believe that it will prompt widespread legis- lation favorable to the American potter.
 The exhibit, costing $105,O0O, will occupy 2,316 square feet of space in the Home Furnishing Building. It will dramatize not only the story of American pottery but also those of native china and other earthenware. Four designers are collaborating on the project for which both the Bro- therhood and the Association are preparing materials in East Liver pool, Ohio, the nations seat of the pottery industry. Plans call for elab- crate murals.
 For sixteen years the pottery in- dustry has had no labor trouble whatever. And during the Brother hoods fifty years of existence it has called only two strikes.

PLUMBERS OPPOSE
 MUNICH ALPLANS

Opposition to the proposed adop- tion of a municipal slum clearance project with assistance from the federal government is contained in a resolution adopted last night by the Waterbury Master Plumbers association. Loss of business to the small businessman, resultant from such projects, is the reason for the objection.
 President Raymond Heebner ap- pointed committee to oppose the plan at public hearing in Wilby high school, April IA. Members of the association states that they are joined in their sentiments of op- position by city lumber and build ing trades supply dealers.
 The plumbers association will be represented at the public hearing by Christian Braun, John Fahy, Michael Hyland and James H. Lowe.
 MT. Braun is chairman of ar- engagements for the state conven- tion of the Connecticut Master Plumbers association at the Elton May g and 10. Convention sessions will be held at the Elks' home, and a banquet will be held at the Elton.

ments, could reach a position really dangerous to any vital German in- tereSt.
 However, the defeat of Poland would not be effected without loss. The Polish army has 30 divisions plus l division and 12 brigades of cavalry, and some additional units The western frontier of Poland pre- sents no natural defensive positions short of the Vistula, though there are some Notifications at certain points.
 The Polish army has been trained for war of maneuver, and its hu- man material is excellent. Sufficient trained reserves exist to bring the divisions of the peace establishment up to war strength, and theoretically to form considerable number of re- serve divisions as well. AS to the lat ter, however, it is doubtful whether there is material available for their equipment.
 The shortage of medium and heavy artillery and of the larger types of tanks is particularly acute. Poland's s industry is by no means equal to the task of supporting great army; the country is largely agricultural. Rail- ways are insufficient in number and capacity and roads extremely bad.
 This latter condition would. how ever, be a severe handicap to the Germans once they had penetrated the country. German appreciation of

the difficulties of a mechanical army in country devoid of roads is em- phasized by the fact that last year Germany began the organization of several divisions of horsed cavalry, instead of the single brigade Gin East Prussia which had heretofore been maintained.
 It is most likely, in view of all the conditions, especially the inevitable slowing down of the German effort the farther it penetrated into Po- land, plus the very probable rein forcement of the Poles by Russian supplies and equipment-that the Poles would still be holding out when winter put an end to large-Scale operations in eastern Europe.
 In that case the Germans would be confronted with the necessity of facing, in the spring, renewed war fare in the east, and a renewed and heavily reinforced Franco-British thrust in the west.
 Germany is in no condition to fight long war. Present shortages of foodstuffs and essential raw mate rials are difficult enough to endure in peace; in war they would be crip- bling. The resources at the disposal of the Franco British-P Polish alliance are immensely superior to those of Germany, and their access to exte- rior sources of supply is almost un- limited while Germany's is small in- deed.
 Italy could do nothing to help Germany in this respect. Even if she intervened in the war (by no means a certainty she would from the first be liability in the economic sense. and very likely also in the military, before very long. On the other hand, Rumania and Yugoslavia might very
