 When I speak of essentials mean which specifically relate to the pre- servation of the health and physical wea-being of our people; of the pro lection of their personal securities and well4paid police and fire depart ments; school houses. light, airy and sanitary in such a number as will afford the poorest child seat Of its own and full day to learn: school teachers who shall have inculcated in .hem a just pride and interest in the work of vital importance which they perform, and the assurance of fair suraae with the sacrifices which they or their parents make in preparing them for their professions.
 On faIniliarizing myself with the I was also surprised at the lack of fire protection. There should be To- cated at a point within speedy reach 2f every session no,o of Brdep1r Believe ae as a whole that Bridgeport is fairly well protected in this respect but there are some sections which have been neglected and this is one. In
 
 it Is necessary that means of access to a given locality be traverSable. How any ordinary piece of fire apparat- us could make the ascent of Reser- voir avenue in its present condition without falling to pieces before 1t reached the scene of the fire, con fess I am unable to comprehend. It seems apparent that when the hun dreds of thousands of dollars were being expended for the pavements of Bridgeport's streets, this sectaon Tn common with Broad and State streets were entirely eliminated from the re- cent calculations of the administra- ton.
 [ am reminded too that 1t was this the eighth district which about four years ago elected our present town chairman, John A. Cornell alderman, and I remember tha.: our present mayor so arranged his appointments that contrary to the spirit of the Charter and established precedent the three or four Democrats in the Town Council were relegated to such committees as Printing, Rules, Me morial Day and others of like non inportance, and that during this pe- riod no Democratic alderman was ap- pointed to any of the important com nnitteeS.

meet the people who live in a community in the confines of Bridge is so urgently needed and which has been so neglected. That is why l am here tonight.
 Before pavements, ahead of beau tiful parks, and prior to any other of the comparatively superficial necessities of the city's weiI-being, must come our schools. In making this statement I do not undervalue these other things but I do believe that if it is a question of one or the other receiving prior attention. these other things should yield to our schools and our school system. Every person who pays taxes or rent in this city, is being assessed for the educa- ton of the children of the city. Every parent, therefore, who has children at an age requiring an education is en- titled to receive what he or she is paying for. This should be true, whether the person resides at Sylvan Crest or some other comparatiyely less populated section.
 Particularly it should be true where in any section a sufficient number of children live to justify the erection Of modern school build ing, and especially it should be true in section where such a number of children live and that section is a thriving and growing one as is Sylvan Crest.
 The policy of affording portable schools is nothing more than a makeshift. It is a poor substitute and, should not be carried further than is absolutely essential. I be- 1ieve, that the present administration, finding itself by reason Of its policy of organizing expenses and the con- sequent necessity of huge sums of money in the management of the city's affairs as they are at present managed, has adopted the expedient of offering portable schools in the hope of palliafing the demand, in many cases, for adequate and per manent school structures. If I am correctly informed, Superintendent of Schools Slawson not long ago de- nounced this policy and made plain the necessity for more schools.
 What I want to say is this: That if I am elected mayor of the city of Bridgeport there will be no money spent in ways and means adapted to perpetuation in office of a political no money diverted to cost plus contracts. but that on the con trary the first thing which shall command the attention of my admin stration shall be those things which

The "inevfta- ble alliance" between finance and politics, makes it necessary for antf- militarists to cut deeper than the question of disarmament if their achievement is to count, according to Dr. BorchaTd
 eff logic could solve this problem, ,'' he said. ''it would have been solved long ago. But comp in arma- ment is not a problem of logic; it's a problem of emotions. It ts the con- sequence of distrust and apprehen- sion which gives rise to fear, and fear creates hatred. Until we get at the underlying reasons for these emotions, we will never get any where near a solution I believe"
 Miss Katharine Ludington, Regina1 Director of the National League of Women Voters and the leagues repre- sentative on the National Council for Limitation of Armament, presided at the lunchean, for which Mrs William Lyon Phelps was in charge of ar raangemen
 At the morning session of the school, the questions of the economic dIl0 IIiS aspects or America s international relationships were taken up by Professors Give Day and Charles Seymour
 Professor Seymour reviewed the his- tor1cal background of American for eign policy, the part taken in the war and the effects of the peace confer ence, and pointed to the coming con ference on limitation of armament as proof that the administration recog- nizes the necessity of cooperation with European nations "The atti- tude of the foreign and war ministries of the great powers of Europe is rath- CT skeptical toward disarmament" he said. "On the other hand they are tremendously interested in securing diplomatic compromise which may as- sure to each of the great powers some satisfaction of it's particular national interests. In this attitude there is danger that the cart may be placed before the horse.
 ''If a plan for disarmament can be evolved and carried through political questions affecting the interests of the several powers can be more easily set- tled.''
 Other dangers involved in the con- ference, according to Professor Sey- nrour, are that we may slip back into the pre-war diplomatic system, and that because of this conference the League of Nations may be regarded as useless.
 "Our position is one of tremendous responsibility before the judgment bar of history" he said. '"The progress

IRWIN GIVES ADDRESS ON
 DISARMING

New Haven. Oct. 2s-Judging by the size of the audience at the clos ing sessions of the School of Citizen ship given by the Connecticut League tiona1 subjects are a drawing card among the women. Two of the American delegation to the Paris Peace Conference. one international respondent and anti-militarist were the speakers today.
 Will Irwin delivered what he call ed a straight from the shoulder talk on disarmament at the Lawn club this afternoon. "The next war, Irwin. ''is beginning now. If we are going to stop it, the time to stop it is now. That isn't sentimental pacthsm, it's plain common sense."
 He declared that the next step, which was even started before the last conflict ended, would be bacterial warfare-warfare by deadly germs in which nations might be annihtlat- ed. He pointed out also that in the next war women would be modified as well as men, and would be fair game for the attacks of the enemy.
 Disarmament he said, will come from the people. the common people of America. England. France and Japan. Upon America rests the responsibility of leadership. Every ation has been initiating the imper- ia1 program of conquest of the Ro- man empire, believing that expanse and material power is the gauge of a nations greatness. America has an opportunity no other nation has had-to step in and stop this thing now, something that no other people could do. America must decide in this year of 1921 of what her great ness is to be-and may it be not the shoddy house of empire. but that spiritual house not built with hands"

 am very glad of this opportunity to geet the citizens who reside at Sylvan Crest and its vicinity.
 While most of the meetings which
 
 paign have been arranged through the Democratic Town Chairman, this one meeting which Is being held and which I attend upon my own insist ence.
 In conversation with Mir. Cornell the other day he told me that there was section of the city where there were about four hundred school chil- dren, most of whom were being housed in portable schools: It was reckoned that the average school room should seat about fifty children and that the average school of eight grades would mean that the average school would hold about Sfoulr hun- dred children. At this rate the thought immediately struck me that here was a condition that needs at tention. I know. of course, that our modern large schools accommodate numbers of children greatly in excess of four hundred. but I also believe too that we should not wait to erect schools until the school population in a given section has reached a point sufficient to overcrowd a schooI at the moment of its erection and so I told MT.
