GRAND FOOD SUPPLY.

Governor Holcomb has again placed Connecticut in front of other states in the Union. By appointing a commit tee of nine leading citizens of the state to study methods of conserva- tion of the food supply here the Chief Executive goes to. the last ditch of preparedness. The mere announce ment of such a plan will be enough to create interest throughout every DOT tion of the state. Every man and wo- man imbued with the spirit of patriot
 ism will here find a way in which to
 aid Old Glory on it's way. From now
 on there will be lessehing of the
 extravagant methods of the past.
 Care-free America will still it's tango
 ing feet and pause long enough to
 listen to the voice of reason.
 If the war does nothing. else it will
 put a check on the wild career of the
 average American. Until now there
 has been nothing to enter the minds
 of men and women in this country
 but the everlasting chase after pleas
 ure. With their pockets full of money
 the inhabitants of this land have be-
 come so they are extremely hard to
 satisfy in their wants for fun and
 good-times. Their appetites for the luxuries of life have reached the point where they are beyond the powers of satiation. The people here had al- most reached state where they i would be unsatisfied in their reple- tion. It might be called a superbund- ant fullness. " The organization of a committee to look after the conservation of the 1 food-supply in this state will automat- ] icaliy call attention to d condition that ] is likely to arise at any time the na- ! tion is in active warfare. With mill !, lion men drawn from the citizenry /, and placed in the military organiza- ! tions of the country there must neces- l sarily be an upsetting of the regular i order. So long as the selective system l of volunteering is given the upper ! hand there need be no fear for the ! best interests of tho nation from every ! standpoint. The moment men are 1 required to do military duty and every
 one who presents himself is taken | there will be q complete overthrow of :: the cGuinanity which now exists : These things may never happen. It is ! hoped they will not. Yet the Cover 1 nor of Connecticut is taking no l chances. The nine members appoint l ed to conserve the food supply of this state will formulate a plan of preser- Vation that will set up every means oi
 example.

must be eventually stamped out. It is the segregation of the various races
 that come here to live. We see eX- anples of it in New Britain. Almost every city has it's foreign quarters of one type or another. Upon arrival at
 Ellis Island and subsequent entry into the country the average foreigner ! makes straight for his kith and kin. which is but natural. If his predeces- sors have not attained the upper strata of society or are not placed in such position as to warrant social in- tercourse with other inhabitants here they stay by themselves and talk the one language. Their path Is narfo" one. It is beaten between the home and the factory and back again, Witn a possible excursion to Main street on
 Saturday night or a trip ill the coun- try on Sunday. The consequence of this is that while they wear American hats and American shoes and Amerl- can clothes they are in America but not of America.
 These are the facts in the case. h. vestigation might possibly bring out other details. They would simply prove cnlightening insofar as the sat- isfaction of curiosity goes. What Is needed now is a remedy. How are we going to make Americans of these people who are in America but not or America: We have them with us. We did not exactly send for them. True, the door was open. They came in be- cause the welcome on the mat looked bright and attractive. They could read that much, anyway. Once in- side the land they were not ham, strung; they were not hog-tied: they were not lassoed or corraled. Whether in the North or in the south. or the great western country. they were of fered abundant opportunities to bet ter themselves. That they must have done SD is proven by the very fact that We have never yet witnessed stampede for Europe. Most of these people are willing to dwell under the protective IOlQS or OIu eI we find those who do not want their children to sing America. And these boys and girls are being educated in our fcee schools. We find men who have dwelled here thir- ty and sometimes as long as forty years, who have amassed vast for tunes and who did not take out their naturalization papers until they saw the need of material protection. Splr- itually. they have been satisfied. We find men who after long years of resi- dence here do not know how to speak the language Of the nation. And hnd- ing these things we go on unheedlng. inactive. and ignorant of what it all means. But the day is coming. Ii lt is not now here, when we must stop' look. and listen for those who are m America and not of America.
