AGAIN WE REFUSE.

Possibly it would be more correct to say Still we refuse" to join in the Genoa conference, for the meeting at The Hague, which the United States is invited to attend is but continua- tion of the Genoa conference. It will be held to discuss again the questions discussed at Genoa. If the Genoa conference had settled these matters the conference at The Hague would have been unnecessary. The situation has not altered except that Russia S fallacy and unwillingness to change is more evident than it was before the gathering at Geloa. At The Hague the nations, without Russia, will adopt a plan of possible discus sion with Russia regarding her debts, credits and private property. If Rus sa agrees to discuss these matters under these terms such discussions will then be held
 It has been insisted here that Rus sia would not take herself away with out making every effort to gain the help she needs. She refused, at first. to consider the plans for The Hague meeting. Later she accepted, and 50 the matter stands.
 Meanwhile, in this country, Senator Borah urges recognition of the Soviet

SOVIET LAND POLICY

While there is so much trouble at Genoa because Russia insists that na- lonaiAed property cannot be return cd to former owners. Russia is mak- ing an internal change that comes as near to adopting the rule of absolute ownership in individuals as it is pos sibe to go.
 No individual may own land abso- 'utey, says the new regulation sub mitted to the all Russian central ex- ecutive committee as the first of the measures calculated to put into effect the new economic policy, but the peasant working it may have a life tenure. The title, of course, remains in the state, but the life tenant may lease it if he can't work it (the limit of two years being placed on such tease) and may let it lie idle. There is limitation on this period of idle ness, also-there must be limit put ti' oi uci to prevent tllt appearance Ol giving absolute title to the peasant who is in possession,
 Another concession is made in allowing communes working the land to hire labor in certain cases, thus treating the land as though the title did not vest in the state as a whole.
 Every change made in the rules of the Soviet is tending toward the rec ognition Of the necessity Of absolute ownership. Basicaliy there can be no substitute for ownership if land or anything else is to be made the most of. A country developed by tenants who have no personal interest in the land itself and it's use so that it will produce the greatest crop will not de- Nelop as will land where vast tracts are cultivated under the direction of those who own the land. 1t is so with all property. Wise use, not abuse, will follow ownership. If the most is to be made out of Russian soil it will come when ownership is admitted Russia is being forced to work in that direction. When she comes to the conclusion that there is sound reason for the adoption of the policy of own ership as understood and allowed in America, she will have a happier peo- pie and q richer country.

ANOTHER TWIST

Actions at law to prevent con cern from using persons photo graph for advertising an article, with out permission, have been common The news reports tell now, however of case where the photograph
 figures from a different angle.
 The picture of a girl was alleged tc
 have been used, her hand over hel
 mouth, covering, according to the
 words accompanying the picture, the disagreement of bad teeth. The ad- vertisement, of course, was supposed to warn people against allowing theiI teeth to become unsightly. Use a cer- tain tooth paste and they would not was the argument.
 The advertisers had no better idea of ethics than they did of adS Sertisins, if the allegations are true. Certainly a such circumstances if the use of the photograph was unauth orized, and if she is able to prove actual damage a very difficult thing to do at law in this as in a libel action. Holding person up to contempt or ridicue is libelous, and the libel theory enters into this peculiar suit.
 These advertisers made the same mistake those made who advertised a soap by using the picture of a very much soiled tramp. Those who saw the advertisement would always sub consciously connect the dirty tramp with the soap advertised with his pie ture. lnvountarily they would turn away from that soap. In the same way, if people remembered the pie ture of the girl, afraid to show her mouth, and the advertised tooth paste in connection with her, they would not use that tooth paste.

"POLTTICS'" GOOD SIDE

Politics leads many man into ways that are not good. Prominent politicians have been accused, often with justice, of interesting themselves in matters for the sake of the person. al political benefits that will come to them. They get in the habit, some times, of taking a hand in affairs merely because such activities will bring them credit with the people credit, and votes.
 So an active politician becomes energetic. He forms the habit of looking about him for chance to do something which will bring popularity to him. Often his interest brings re- suits beneficial to the people.
 Of course many honest men, so sit uated that they are able to devote their time to altruistic purposes, give their aid to good causes with no ul- terior motive. So politicians and men who have no thought of politics sometimes meet on ground of com mon interest.
 But the good side of politics brings out the latent energy in men, They learn how to do things, and to do them. If there is back of this knowl- edre gained and in addition to the desire to advance themselves politi- cally, tho honest desire to accomplish something for the good of the, peo- pie, the combination is a strong one.
 An illustration is Mayor Paonessa's suggestion in regard to the price of gasoline here. He is ih position to know the facts about the gasoline trade. It was here noted some time lio that it would be . good thing if

THE SPIRIT OF NEW BRITAIN.


 The New Britain Chamber of Com merce is looking for new members in this city number of it's directors and members in an eifort to keep alive the organization which has come into dire straits through lack of money and interest. are combing the town for people to aid in carrying on the work that has been done and that, it Is hoped, can be done. A full page the city several days ago telling what the Chamber Of Commerce had done, fair enough list. and what it ex- pected to accomplish It failed Co mention one class of accomplish ments-what the Chamber of Com merce has not done.
 Possibly the Chamber of Com rerce has not given us many things that we need. It's good deeds are not as few as many imagine, they are really very numerous. But the great falling of the Chamber of Commerce has been the inability to inculcate into the people Of the city of New Britain true sense of service to each other. community loyalty, co-opera- ton beyond the pettiness of individ- uals who feel that they have been sighted. Possibly this is not the fault of the Chamber, quite possibly, but the great trouble in New Britain is that it's problems lack the boost CT" spirit that prevails in all com munities which respect themselves A merce is nothing but what the fndi- vidual that joins contributes to the cause In paying his obligation, true member will carry always the reali- zation that ke is unit in a commun- ity which has many reasons to be proud of itself. Colleges are built up largely on spirit, armies depend upon morale to keep them at real fighting pitch, business organizations quickly dispense with the workman that thinks little of the accomplishments Of his firm. communities must have a loyal gang of boosters that may ac- knowledge shortcomings when there is a chance to remedy them but will consistently advance the good argu- ments where the proper opportunity l offers.
 Without spirit there can be no Chamber of Commerce, the Chamber | may aid much in crystallizing the | spirit and utilizing it to good end Join the Chamber if you would help | the city, but if you regard your duty done when your dues are paid and are satisfied to relapse into obscurity for another year, tear up the check or give the money to the Fresh Air Farm. It will do more good there. | And If you cannot afford to join the l Chamber but have the spirit, be d l booster just the same. You and your community will benefit thereby. Let's raise the morale of New Britain we have plenty of reason to regard our selves favorably. Having mentally | catalogued those reasons let's tell the WorlG what they are and keep our retty dissatisfactions to ourselves un- til the time is ripe to make right the sore spot and keep it right.

The old train robbcr, stalwart, brave, bronzed by inc biting winds and blazing suns, is gone. Gone is the hero Of the horse loving, daring heart. The news reports of the day destroy these brave desperadoes of the past, And what do we find in their places?
 One was train bandit recognized as a pool room habitue, Imagine him, sallow, cigarette smoking, weak sunken chested youth, thinking he had a chance in the world to rob a train. And one wore rubber gloves. He must have been a reader of mod ern detective tales which tell of the fatal hngerprints and the positive clues they leave.
 The bandit Of the past would have scorned such subterfuEes.
 And do the robbers dash away on spirited steeds, having accomplished their nefarious task with the high handed though chivalrous spirit of the olden days? They do not!

"Pay the Honus by Taxing Church
 Property"
 Editor N. R. Herald:-
 The principle of taxing all church property Is believed in by 10,oo0,ooo freethinkers agnosties, atheists and other non.churchgoers in this coun- try. .t. j. There Is over five billions of dollars (sb, 100000, 0,h00) worth of church property in this country that does not pay one cent q year in taxes. The accumulation enoromous property holdings by tax-cxempt religious bodies constitute an acute problem. Churches do not pay land taxes, county taxes, state taxes, nor federal incomes taxes. The'yery least they can do now is to voluntarily submit to a tax on their enormous property hold ings to pay the bonus,
 The undersigned, a reader of your newspaper believes that it would be to the best interest of this country at the present time to pay the bonus by taxing all chuprch property.

aerial wires at right angles or radiat-

These several lead-ins may be con-
