 In addition, Mir. McAdoo, before his retirement as Secretary of the Treas ury, emphasized the necessity for the government to continue making loans to our allies, which will add another considerable drain upon our current resources.
 Henceforth Europe will also make heavy drafts upon private funds in this country. Belgium, in fact, has just arranged with banking syndicate for trade loan of S5O,000,00O to be used for buying reconstruction materials from us. And, if we would hold our

 We must also face large domestic requirements. Experts estimate that the country is five years behind in its building program and that S5,OO00O0,- OOO will be needed to make up the de- ficiency caused by the war. Railroad, public utilities and industrial securi- ties alone, to total of more than SS36,- 100000, will mature in this country during 1919 and must be provided for. Hence our financial problem is se- l rious and we are entering, perhaps, the most difficult of all our fiscal pe- | riods--a period which will demand the shrewdest, most farseeing and sound l est financial knowledge and judgment.
 One of the most pressing problems of peace is that of transportation War has taught us that government operation is not the answer to this l problem.

LOCAL CONCERN
 WINS TWO SUITS
Handlers, Frary and Clark Gets Deci- sion in Infringement Suit III
 District Court.

Two suits brought against me flanders, l'rary and Clark Manufac- turing company by the Crystal Per colator company, Inc, of New ofk' were decided in favor of the local concern by Judge Edwin s. Thomas in the district court of the United States yesterday. The complaint charged the Infringement of certain letters patent and design for perco- la tors.
 In his decision, Judge Thomas says:
 One of the letters patent covers a certain. support for percolators and the, other covers a design for percO- lators. As to the contentious of the complainant as to the first of the letters patent, the multiplicity of ele- ments recited in the fourth claim of the complainant, as to this patent, does not make it patentablc, as each element performs an old and we'll known function. No new function is evolved from the combination recited.
 '"The new result, so far as one is achieved, is only that which arrives each one of the elements. The claim is void for want of invention. As to the claim of infringement, the design of the patent is invalid, as it's produce tion did not require the exercise of invention, but if it be valid, the struc- ture of Landers, Frary and Clarks does not infringe"

 Labor has as great a stake as any other element of our people It must De on it's guard against state socialism, W. W.ism, and Bolshevism, dangers which are by no means remote.
 Another important responsibility of victory is that of establishing new re- latlons between the Government and business. The Government should learn that 'all great offices of state are occupied with commercial affairs" and that "commerce is the greatest of all political interests" Great Britain, france, Italy, and Japan show evil dence of due appreciation of these axioms of statesmanship in their re- construction programmes.
 The peace plans of England. canp fully worked out by the Government in cooperation with the country's varied Industries, include the lowering of the cost of production of it's manufacto- res; the speeding up of labor; the cheapenlng of raw materials by buy Ing in enormous quantities; nation sized combinations the abolition or Wasteful competition among manufac- turers; the placing of government funds at the disposal of producers who cooperate; the formation of big and influential associations of business

Open letter to the public:

Open letter to the public:
 It seems impossible to believe that at the present time, when our leaolhS statesmen are advocating that Alnerl- can principles and ideals be extended throughout the world, when our edu- cators are asking for large approprla- tions in the namc of American1zatlon, we should find right here in our city government, a department whose ac- tions and decisions are un-American and un-democratic. Evidently the board of education has set itself on a terly unapproachable and from which the people shall receive no redress for any act whatsoever.
 It would seem that the sole purpose of our school board was to give cer- tain individuals power rather than to serve the people, lit is strange that the members of the school board have
 not yet realized the fact that any
 government or department which is
 not the expression of the will of the
 people is doomed to destruction. Un-
 der the present conditions New Brit
 ain will find that many efficient teach
 CTS will obtain positions in other
 cities. This is not to be wondered at
 since at the present time a teacher
 has no security whatever. She may
 be discharged without an explanation at any time according to the will of the administration and there shall be no redress since the actions of the school board are supreme. There Is no branch of the State Teachers Fed eration in this city which was estab- l lished to strengthen and protect the i teachers of the state, consequently a teacher in New Britain is wholly at the mercy of the administration.
 A great shortage of teachers has been reported throughout the state. A bill has just. been passed by the leg islature granting money to be used for teachers salaries. But it will take more than reasonably high salaries to induce parents to educate their daugh- ] ters to be teachers. They will want 1 the assurance that their daughter will ! receive the rights which all citizens l of the United States are entitled to; ] namely freedom, equality, justice and 1 humanity. It is the daily duty of a ] teacher to set forth the principles and ideals of our government. Why should she not enjoy them also?

 Not without good reason does Eng land view complacently our titanic shipbuilding efforts. It was proved
 over and over again before the war
 that Britain could build and operate
 ships at a little more than half the
 American costs and that the war will
 not alter these conditions materially. l It has been testified by an Amess@an
 authority that British shipyard wages
 are about 30 per cent. lower and the l output per man about IA per cent higher than those of America Our Government must stand behind
 American shipping, as well as Amer
