COMMUNICATED
From @ Fireman.
 February 19, 1921n

To the Editor of the V New Britain Herald:--
 In aslc.nE the people of New Bri- tain to give favorable consideration to the two platoon system for the fire department we are only appeal ing to their sense of fair play and justice. We do not ask for priv are working for a living, but we do ask for something other men do have-the right to share in the en- joyments of home life and live like human beings.
 Please consider the situation of fireman who Is married and has children. He. would like to spend part of his time with them; he would like to partake of the com forts of home that men in every other walk of life enjoy. Under present conditions it Is impossible for him to do so. His visits home are practically restricted to meal time. That Is all his family sees of him with the exception of his
 day of a week No matter whC1e else you seek, you will find that men are allowed to be one of the family | AAiSSSAo oA OSAAS AASLC NAoASSAo ASsN 1 strangers to their children. Is 1t fair to the firemen? h 1t l fair to their wives and children? h ! 1t humane, as we of the twentieth 1 century understand humane treat ment? ...t..t' 1 An advertisement was recently | published in the newspapers asking l the women of New Britain to attend 1 the city meeting and help keep ap- 1 proprations down. We reHpectfuI- | ly urge that women do attend the city meeting and give our case con- 1 sideration. Our wives are just like other wonen-they want their hus- bands to be part of the family circle. Our children are just like other chil- 7; dren-they want their daddies to come home and be with them and hear their little voices say Now T lay l mo down to sleep" If the women of New Britain will look at the .oues- ton from this angle we are conf dent they will vote for the two pla- toon system because no one knows better than q woman that a shoe isn't really a home with the f
 \ absent all the time. Yes, we
 welcome women at the city meeting because we feel that they will be our friends and we appeal to them 1 to come and support us. 4.-ezss@ 1 Respectfully yours, --

he can feather his own nest they ment or demand that the speaker swallow his words. We are all too lenient with the man who attacks our civil institutions. If we are to con tinue to show that lenient spirit we shall soon find that we have no in- stitutions and that the rule of the mob, led by demagogues, is the only form of government we possess.
 The situation in New Britain has passed the laughing stage. There are those lusting for power who will abuse that power once they get it.
 They are not qualified to as- sume charge of public affairs and they must be shown their place. The women can play a big role in the coming city meeting. They can drive the dcmagogues out and prove that the country made no mistake when it granted them the franchise. Woman instinct seldom fails. Woman in stinct will tell the women how to dis tinguish between the clean and the unclean tongues in politics.
 Reports have been received of blue
 
 New England and some of the old settlers report picking ripe straw berries for breakfast, indicating that Dame Nature is having practical joke at the expense of one John Frost. Additional testimony that spring is about to burst upon us comes from the southwestern section of the city where woman asserts that her crocuses and other bulb plants. in the back yard are making their appear ance, much to her dismay she fears that a nip of cold weather will ruin them.
 The spot where the crocuses. etc, are coming up is exposed to the sun nearly all day. She was quite surprised upon going into the yard a few days ago to see green things poking their heads above ground and upon investigatin she learned that her bulbs had become tired of thei~ earthly prison and were popping forth.
 This will be good news for the men who have been trying to make their winter overcoats "go'' until warm weather arrives.
 The fine art of "writing to the edi- tor about it" by men prominent in our municipal life seems to be on the decline. Time was when repre- sentative citizens took their pen in hand almost every week and ex- pressed their opinions on topics of the day. This practice has died out, much to the regret of those people who would like to learn the personal views of the men we look upon as leaders.
 One of the old timers whose com municat tions appeared regularly in the newspapers was the late Judge John Walsh. He was a. master of argument and his essays were models of fine English. He never wrote briefly but discussed the question in his mind thoroughly, sometimes sup plying interesting reading matter enough to fill several columns. He was an exception, however, and few men have followed his course. There were others whose communications were quite as interesting.

|DR. KOO OUTLINES
| FAR EAST'S NEEDS
Twin Put Proposal, Forward
for Consideration by Par
ley at Proper Time.

A proposal for the settlement of
the far eastern questions involving
China was outlined yesterday by DR..
Wellington Koo, ambassador to Great
Britain and leader of the Chinese
will be put forward for consideration
when the proper time arrives.
The rehabilitation of China rests on
the peace of the far east, DR.. koo
holds, and advocates the following
general. principles as fundamental to
solving the question::
China must be enabled to work out
its economic salvation through the
development Of her immense natural
resources.
China's territorial integrity must be
guaranteed and safeguarded against
aggression from other nations and
further inroads through foreign con-
cessionS.
China must have absolute political
independence.
Dr. Koo pointed out that China had
no intention Of trying to gain any un-
proposals within the bounds of what
seemed perfectly feasible.
"China's needs are SO many that it
would be out of the question to ex-
pect to accomplish everything at this
conference" he said. Concerning
what he called the handicaps to
China's development, DIR. koo said
that it was vitality necessary for
China to control her railroads, and he
laid particular stress on the limit of
S per cent tariff on imports imposed
by the powers.
China has no desire, he said, to keep
for herself all the benefits resulting
from the development of her vast re-
sources. but was more than willing
that foreign capital should partici-
pate on satisfactory terms
The conference for discussion of
procedure with respect to Ear eastern
questions closed yesterday Afternoon
at 4 o'clock and it was announced
that a statement would be Aued
later.

One Declares Opposition to
! Proposal Can Be Expected
in Some Places.
Special Dispa tch to The Star.

OTTAWA, Ont. November To-
President Harding. Secretary Hughes
and the Washington administration
are commended for their courage
relative to the naval-reduction prop
osition in extended editorials in Can
ada's two leading newspapers tne
Montreal Star and Toronto Globe.
While agreeing with q great many
Of the views expressed by american
editors, the Globe editor forecasts
where there will be opposition In the
United States. He says: y...s tho.
1T may be taken for granted tnat
influences are already at work
against the American proposal. Man
ufacturerS of armaments. and OF the
materials of which ships and guns
are made will make a mighty EFFORT
to modify the scheme SO far as future
construction is concerned. Before the
war sinister and powerful interests
were internationally allied to promote
the expenditure of public money on
making of munitions of war. by cor
ruption and intrigue.
Suspicion Often Sswed.
"One method employed on the con-
tinent was the bribery of influential
newspapers to sow suspicion and fear
of other countries SO as to lash pa
triotic sentiment into supporting or
naval budgets which were even then
threatening Europe with bankruptcy.
These interests had politicians and
high officials in their pay. and knew
no national boundaries. Tho war
severed their international relation
ships, but they may be reknit by the
prospect of the destruction of the
whole armament industry.
Besides the selfish Industrial pro-
paganda against the naval holiday.
there will be the more respectable
protest Of the naval services. The re-
duction Of the worlds greatest fleets
to the limits suggested at Washing
ton would involve the dismissal Of
thousands Of sailors Of all ranks. 1t
would be personal hardship to those
who have spent years at sea and can
not turn readily to new careers
While no private considerations of
this kind can be permitted to out
weigh vast design of the welfare Of
the whole human race, the claims of
these men should. and doubtless will,
receive attention"

struction of capital ships shall be

tions are subsidiary and secondary to

part of the work of the conference

There was difference Of opinion
among the delegates as to the matter
of publicity and debate which
lasted for some time. Finally 1t was
determined to adopt the committee
plan, which is taken to mean that
the meetings would be with closed

The committee plan, 1t was said.
would mean that the problems before
the conference could be tackled with
more freedom and directness.

subcommittee as 1t might from time
to time deem desirable. Mr.. Hughes.
as chairman Of the committee and OF
the conference, undertook to submit
this proposal to the conference.
Mr.. j. Butler Wright was nominal

program and procedure. with respect
to Pacific and ia reastern questions.
With regard to the limitation OF

was made by the program committee.
