LONDON, July 4.-British official
sources said today the Netherlands
had sent Great Britain note ex-
pressing objections to being given
specific guarantees in the projected
pact with Soviet Russia.
The note was understood to have
been the result of reports that Brit
aims latest proposals to Moscow
provided for three power guaran-
tees to Switzerland, Belgium and
the Netherlands if Russia insisted
on demanding similar guarantees
for the Baltic states.
The Netherlands objection was
said to be based on fear that in
cluslon of her name in the pact
might jeopardize her traditional
policy of neutrality.
Envoy Reports on Danzig.
The Foreign Affairs Committee of
the British cabinet heard personal
report from Sir Howard William
kennard, Ambassador to Poland, on
the Danzls situation in a lengthy
meeting in which both European
and Far Eastern problems were con-
sidered.
1he cabinet expects tomorrow to
get first-hand summary of Ger

son, Ambassador to Berlin, who

There has been speculation over
whether Britain, France and Poland

lazi activities in Danzig contravened
the free city's constitution, which
prohibits militarization of the CITY

sent.

the House of Commons yesterday
that he had reliable reports indicat-

If the League could establish that
such activities menaced Danzig, it
could call on Poland alone or with
other powers to protect Danzig

 Still another refugee brought with him from Germany patented process used in the manufacture of gloves; the business he established here is doing an annual business of $100,00O.
 WANTS PUBLIC
 TO KNOW
 These are just few of the facts on refugees revealed by the Ameri- can Friends Service Committee (Quakers), who are doing yeoman service in helping refugees from Germany and Italy.
 Clarence E. Pickett, executive secretary of the Friends, and win- nar of this years Box Award for hB refugee work, is particularly anxious that the public at large be apprised of the true facts about refugees, to counteract unfavorable publicity and false rumors.
 Consider the following summary os the refugee problem" explains Pickett. Every human being is 8 consumer. He eats; he wears clothes; he requires place to live. Every immigrant who comes to America is as much a consumer as anyone else, and his wants have to be supplied by American business and factories.
 "In this sense the refugees are actually providing work for Ameri- can labor. This is especially true of the women and children among the refugees. Perhaps about a third of them will become wage earners. This number must be reduced still further, however Many of the ref ugees are intellectuals - writers, scientists, scholars. They will help to make our country the cultural center of the modern world by their presence here.
 "The larger proportion of them are of course workinen, business men and manufacturers. Of these individuals there will be quite few who will bring to our country new businesses and skills which we have lacked"
 NOT ALL
 REFUGEES ARE JEWS
 Pickett feels that there are many facts about the present-day refugees which are not sufficiently clear to the public. For instance, most peo- pie think that the refugees from Germany are all Jews.
 As a matter of fact, in 1888, one-third of all refugees from Ger many were Christians, Pickett esti- mates. In the years befor ethat, the proportion was higher. According to the best estimates available there are about 100000 Jews by religion still in Germany and about 100000 Ilon-Aryan Christians, that is, Christians with some percentage of Jewish blood.
 up to the present, those arriv- ing here have been divided in the proportion of five Jews to two Christians, but this proportion does not mean that Christians are not anxious to leave Germany, Austria and Czechoslovakio. It merely means that the Jewish committees were the first in the field and as result have had more time to secure affi- davits, etc, If the Christians of the United States increase their assist ance to their co-religionists, the proportion of Christian refugees will increase.
 Tn addition to other misappre- hensions. Pickett has found that |

AIRLINES SEEK '
 GLAMOUR GIRLS
I. w. A. System Forced to Use Want Ads to FIJI
 Summer Quota

This may sound like a combina- ton of carrying coals to Newcastle and man biting dog, but at least one airiine-the T. ". A. system-has been forced to put "want ads" in newspapers to advertise for enough glamour girls" of the air to fill their summer quota of airline hoSt- eSseS.
 The want ads were placed in newspapers from New York to San Francisco urging registered nurses, age 21 to 26, height five feet two inches to five feet five inches, weight 100 to 125 pounds" to apply for the jobs..
 The catch, in case this begins to sound like advertising for a caIldi- date to take Clark Gables job when he quits the movies, is that only about five percent of the applicants are accepted, and the T. w. A. oper- ations department Is beginning to worry about having enough qualified llostesses on hand to take care of the traffic rush for the two world fairs this summertime San Francisco Ex- position, which opens this month, and the New York Worlds Fair, which starts in April.
 About 100 applicants are needed for each regular training school, which takes in from five to 10 ac- cepted applicants, and, before the rush starts, this is what it takes to be even a potential hostess:
 She must be registered nurse, in good health and fairly good- looking, and with in the age, height, and weight specifications listed in the want ad.
 She must be able to speak Eng fish and does not have to be "beau- tiful." Personality is what is want ed.
 She can wear lipstick and rouge, but not too much, and her voice has to be pleasing and clear" but not loud.
 She should have good teeth and her hair can be blonde, brunette, or red, but it must remain the same color all the time.
 She must know how to be courteous but firm," and must be mentally alert"
 She must also be single-and that is the big hitch in keeping the quota of glamour girls" of the air.
 More than 20 percent of T. w. A. hostesses who quit their jobs do it for romantic reasons, and the aver age work-span of an airline hostess is about a year. This means that a constant supply of applicants is needed, so there you are ladies-the line forms on the right.
