the eyes of an anxiously preoccupied world were fixed on warring Spain and the Far East the Nazis of the Free City of Danzig have turned that vitally important Baltic port over to Adolf Hitler Slightly camouflaged though the annexation was it would hardly be an exaggeration to say that hereafter Daznig will be as much at the disposal of the Reich as is Berlin or Munich Only the Polish minority there Is left to raise its voice against this creation of a new Nazi state League Passes Buck Legally the League of Nations stands guardian over the independence of the Free City Two years ago when the Danzig Nazis were openly flouting the constitution and refusing to- send a representative to Geneva the League instructed Poland to an end" to that situation It was to give Poland a port that the free state was created But Poland was unable to stem the Nazi tide More than once in recent years Germany and Poland have almost clashed over Danzig But what Warsaw will do now is problematical for Germany today is one of the most powerful nations in Europe Build New City With Hitler virtually in control of Danzig the Polish corridor giving access to the sea becames the merest shoestring At the end of the shoestring Poland has built the splendid modem port of Gydnia In time of peace therefore she has no particular need of Danzig In time of war Germany would be able quickly to shut Poland off from the Baltic and to dominate Gydnia as well as Danzig The Germans were able to make a totalitarian state of Danzig by first manipulating the voting until they had a two-thirds majority in the Volks tag and Senate and then changing the constitution Liberal Justice Of High Court Is 81 Today By miffed Prett WASHINGTON Nov Louis DemMtz Brandeis one of the most famous jurist is

York: Farrar Rinehart $350 OT more than one American in a thousand has read any of John Gould verse Perhaps one in a hundred has heard his name mentioned as one of tbe Imagist poets whose virtues were so manfully 'trumpeted by Amy BDwell from '1914 until her death in 1925 The -present- generation of- critics seems to agree with the public that as a poet Mr Fletcher has been very very dead for a long long time Mr Fletcher' however is much inclined to disagree and with his may convince a good many people that there is life in the Imagists yet Bom in Arkansas 51 years ago he developed into a precocious shy inhibited specimen "a solitary After leaving Harvard (without a degree) he spent many unhappy years in Europe In England he met Amy Lowell and under her wing achieved some prominence though he resolutely insists that he was as much responsible for her success as she was for his In 1933 he gave Up trying to escape the "blatancies and commercial of America and came back to Arkansas The specimens of verse which Mr Fletcher quotes from time to time show the development of a real poetic gift? His sketches of pre-war and post-war Europe are racily presented with just a suggestion of vinegar in the recipe The miserable frustrations of the misfit Fletcher soul are frankly and simply revealed What entitles him to consideration however is his commentary on the leaders of -our "poetic of 1914-1920 He knew them all and fought with them all from red-bearded pugnacious little Ezra Pound to pompous cigarsmoking Amy Lowell and he tells all he knows SONNICHSEN Little People THE DIARY OF A COUNTRY PRIEST By Georges Ber-nanos (Trans by Pamela Morris) New York: MacMillan $275 THIS diary-novel published in France in 1929 has been widely acclaimed and therefore long anticipated among the Intellectuals of America They will not be disappointed for Bernanos work is keen and affecting a close reflection of the little life of the little people who make up a French provincial parish In an intensely personal manner the author views the parish through the eyes and mentalisationa of a sincere young priest whom intellectuals will find extremely stimulating Never has the portrait of a man thwarted by the bonds of an established and insuperable mental attitude been so poignantly told his attitude toward God and the world is so immovable so fixed it results in emotional and intellectual frustration tbe unfortunate end of so many whose mental habits are established before their reasoning forces begin to function In this book we are permitted to enter the mind of the priest and see people and God as they are seen-by a pious soul and to experience the mordant reactions the small everyday behaviour of the world has upon a man urged to do good -Mr Bernanos has produced a can vas of many fascinations The torturous unrest of the priest hi illness his soul searching self -examinations have a splendid beauty he lives in the world but is inevitably separate from the callous gabble and gobble of a parish town which in effect is any town Here are masterpiece of portraiture and emotional crises effectual as great music JAMES CLEVELAND PRESCRIPTIONS!
