As far as I know, since everyone involved died more than 70 years ago, and the book was even published more than 70 years ago, it should be public domain (including commentaries) in life+70 and life+50 countries.

But not in the US, because it was first published after 1923, and then other rules applied. (It might be public domain anyway, if some copyright renowal was not properly done.)
