PEACE AS HELP
TO COMMERCE.
Lloyd George Says Business
to Revive When World Puts
Hats On Straight.
CONFIDENCE BIG NEED

LONDON, Feb. 15.-The Genoa con-
ference will not attempt to cOncoct any.
governmental nostrums for the restOra 1
ton Of trade, If Lloyd George has his
way.
The British prime minister has made it
very plain that he does not favor govern
meut Intervention in trade, and has no
patience with those who would have the
various governments of the world attempt
to re-establish trade by legislation or
governmental edicts.
Trade will take care OF itself when tho
world has again put its hat on straight
according to Lloyd George, and it is gen
orally understood he will urge the Gen "a
conference to devote its efforts TO staDli-
zing world conditions so that the con
fidence of traders may be renewed and
they will venture the risks which 60 70
make international trade.
QUESTIONS
TNCITE UNREST"
As long as there are questions which
incita unrest and create disturbances You
viii not get trade TO take the necessary
risks" Lloyd George explained in out
lining his theories as to trade restora-
ton.
Trade IS in a worse position through
out the world than anybody has ever
Witnessed. In our own land there are
two million Of unemployed; in the United
States OF America there are many more.
There is greater need for our goods in
the world than ever before; there 10 less
demand.
1T is not so much that the world can
not produce tie wealth which would en-
able it to pay for those goods If credit
could be got, but credit is Impossible
without confidence and stability; and
the problem which cOnfrOnts Britain and
the world might be summed up in ono,
phrase-restoratiOn Of international cOn-'
ldence.
CONFIDENCE
Is BASIS"
international confidence IS the basis
Of International trade. We are a country
above all that depends upon international
trade. If there is no international trade
there IS desolation here; 10 restore that
you must restore international con-
fdence.
Electric currents Of trade must neces-
sarily be Irregular and feeble in The dis
turbed atmosphere Of the world, and
without confidence you cannot build up
credit Without credit you cannot have
trade and without trade you cannot Ill
Up the exhausted reservoirs depleted by
the war. Our burdens will become In
tolerable and bankruptcy will stare the
world in the face unless action is taken,
international ac1ion-not merely the &C
ton Of one land, but OF ell lands.
In order to restore confidence you
must establish a real peace in the world.
Trade has had e great shock in the
war. Il feels timid. It feels frightened
It is scared. You must restore its nerve.

Robert Middlemass' Story Dramatizctl

, To the Editor of The Herald:-
 Your readers. many of whom are personal friends of our townsman Robert Middlemass, will be gratified to learn of the cordial reception given by New York audience to his one act playlet, "The Valiant" as pre- scnted at the midwnter gambol of The Lambs on Sunday evening.
 Of this play. Mir. Alexander Wooll- colt, dramatic critic of the New York Times, who recently gave a talk in New Britain. says:
 Chief among the events, perhaps, was the appearance of Robert Md- dlemass in play entitled "The Valiant" of which he was author as well as principal player In this Mir Middemass gave a remarkable per formance as criminal about to face execution
 The "Evening Telegram notice follows:
 'The hit of the night was a serious little play by Robert Middlemass, with an absorbing story of condemned criminal who concealed his identity to the last, so that his mother should not have reason to lament that her son was hanged. He contrived by a skilful bit of drama to send her word that her boy really died hero of the Great war. The little play is so good that it would stand the acid test of translation into French and presentation at the Grand Guig mol in Paris"
 Yours very truly.
 GEORGE NJ. LANDERS.

CANDLEMAS DAY.

Exactly how much of his shadow the ground hog must see today. and how long he must have seen it in or der 10 assure us that he has gone back and will remain in warm se- clusion for six weeks more of winter is uncertain. Each man and each woman. and also each girl and boy has right to form his or her own opinion on that point. In accordance with that opinion he or she will make ready for six weeks more of cold weather, or will begin to think about spring and the things pertaining there to. In accordance with that opinion the householder will view with alarm or point with pride" at his coal bin, and in accordance with that opinion a man will decide whether or not his winter coat or suit will last out the season or not. All these important matters must be decided by each in- diNdual and decided wisely. Deep consideration should be given to the matter.
 It is pretty safe to say, however, that MT. Groundhog saw no shadow in New Britain this morning when he first appeared. So we may hope and expect that beautiful, glorious spark ling Spring comparatively soon.
 But turning from this ancient myth, fascinating as it is and interesting, the real significance of the day to many lies in it's religious aspect. To- day, in Roman Catholic churches, is celebrated the feast of the Puriflcation of the Virgin Mary: today are blessed the candles used on altars or used for other sacred purposes.
 Believers in Catholicism today join in sympathy with the motive inspr- ing the feast; it is one of the inspr- ing motives in their lives. Christians of other creeds stand in quiet rever- ence before the religious celebration, acknowledging the beauty of the an- cient custom. And men and women of no beliefs, or of avowed non-belief, sremain silent, some envious of those who are able to believe, others in- clined to smile if they but dared but held back by something within them, something unacknowledged but pres ent which forbids any attitude other than one of silent respect before men and women in their devotions to God and to all that pertains to worship of Him.

New York, Feb. 2.--Gloria Caruso of becoming great singer like her famous father.
 At two the only offspring of the man who for years held the position of the worlds foremost tenor can sing better than most children of six.
 Madame Caruso is certain that Baby Gloria will follow her father in the path of greatness.
 Gloria is "her fathers girl" She looks like him, and in her baby way talks like him and has his gestures and mannersms. None could mis- take Caruso for the Italian artist that he was; none would pick out Madame Caruso for other than the typical New York born-and bred woman that she is. Gloria has her fathers lus- trous dark eyes and olive tinted con- plexion.
 She loves to sing. She's not bash full when asked to sing Her roper toire is not large but it's scope is wide, for it runs from Three Blind Mice" to bits from her fathers arias
 Gloria never heard her father sing on the stage" says Madame Caruso But, until he was taken sick, he of ten sang lullabies to her. And ev- cry day she hears records of his songs on the phonograph.'
 The child never can hear enough of the Caruso records.
 Daddy" she eXclaims, when the record begins to turn and the tenor's voice, stiled by death but preserved

WE HAVE DONE IT

Certainly 1t is good to read that
 the Connecticut company will possibly
 be able to pay big instalment on the . taxes it owes the state. Judge Robert son, retiring head of the State Bar Association has so prophesied. Fur thermore he says that If things go on as they are heading the company will
 be able to extend its lines and serve sections thus far not touched. He as- serts that Connecticut, through its Legislature, has become the leader among the states in recognizing the actual condition of the transportation system.
 Thus, in this last phrase, Judge Robertson declares distinctly that this state practically stands alone-or Is at least at the head of the class-in passing laws that will enable a dis tressed corporation to get. on its feet again, pay up old debts and even con- template great new things.
 Judge Robertson places the credit for his fine situation in the removing of jitneys from most of the streets of the state.
 Now of course the humble worker ought to be very glad that his extra nickels, which might have bought him more rides on the iitneys or on the trolley if the fare had been five cents, have gone to help pay the old debts of the Connecticut Company. or that they will help in this estimable pur- pose He should not mind, although he is trying to save a nickel here and there on cut of meat or an extra drop of milk for the baby, the devo- ton of those nickels to such a worthy cause as assisting the Connecticut Co. financially.
 But the humble worker neverthe less dares to ask those who see nothing but good in the conduct of the Connecticut Company, if it wouldn't please see, just for little while; if it wouldn't be able to do all these great things by doing as he asks and trying the lower fare here. Really, he feels, 1t might be good idea to go to the trouble of trying out the plan he believes in to find out if more money wouldn't come in and if the transportation sys- tenn in this city wouldn't be on a firmer basis. Of course it makes a lot | of difference to him, and he may be prejudiced by the fact that he would | save a good many dollars month. | He admits that. But he knows of | friends of his who never give the Connecticut Company cent today but who would be glad to patronize it if he company showed bit of consid- .ration and open -mindedncss for those friends Of his. Then, after a bit, he, %, would laud the Connecticut Com )any.

PRESIDENT ANGEIII, OF YALE.

Despite the fact that other men of prominence and of real, impressive personalities addressed the Yale Alumni Association Of Hartford County at it's annual banquet last evening at the Hotel Bond, in Hart ford, President James Rowland Angel stands out sclearly as the dis tinct figure which dominated the oc- casion. Many Yale men have found it impossible to free their minds of the doubt concerning the strict pro- priety and wisdom of selecting a graduate of another institution to take charge of the affairs of the uni versity Last night President Angell dispeled that doubt and in it's place established a firm conviction that, in this case, exactly the proper selection had been made.
 Rarely is there seen in a speaker that fine mingling of an appreciation of humor, always acceptable in an after-d dinner address, with strong pre- sentiment of matters of real import ance displayed by President Angel. It was to be expected that his talk would reflect an optimistic view of the Yale Of today, but in his manner Of bringing out the splendid features of
 
 made the reasons for such optimism so clear and logical that his speech thusiasm among the graduates of Yale there present.
 Especially wise and tactful was President Angel's alusion to the at- titude of mind he deemed proper for himself in taking charge of Yale af- fairs. His is the desire to cooperate, not dictate arbitrarily. He intends to learn as ne advises; not to learn from the result of advice. He plans to order no drastic change before he is able to feel that real knowledge of Yale will bring no drastic changes in his conception of Yale. He intends to wait until he is convinced that he has imbibed fully the spirit of Yale | tradition, the Yale atmosphere, before he lays a new foundation for some thing that will become, years hence, | new Yale tradition.

It is the only Italian wofd Gloria knows. Enrico Caruso schooled her fn enunciating it with the soft Italian accent-"Madonna."
 Madame Caruso intends to raise her daughter as a simple American girl, despite the millions left to them by the tenor, millions being increased by the multiplying royalties from rec- ords.
 We are going to Italy in May" she says, But we will return in six months and spend most of our future life in America. She is going to be educated in America, and she is going to be allowed to select her own me- dium of expressing the talent that is hers.
 T think it will be music, but it still is too early to be sure. How ever, she is her fathers daughter, and she must have genius"

NATIVE VS. FOREIGN BORN.

No matter whether pessimistio or optimistic view is taken of the large percentage of people of foreign birth in this state, the figures compar- ing the percentages as shown by the 1920 census and that of 1910, are in- . teresting. Various deductions may be made from these figures, starting with various premises
 If 1t is granted that there is more efficiency in this state than there was in 1910-that more is produced, the figures showing that the percentage of native Americans here has increased from 7o.4 per cent of the total popu- lation to 72.6 per cent would indicate that an increase in the percentage of Americans increases efficiency. This assumption is strengthened by the born in the same period decreased from 29.6 per cent to PA per cent
 Of course this deduction must be made in the light of the acknowledge ed improvement in machinery, and in the light of the fact that an increased population increases production as a rule. But when the quality of such products as well as the quantity is taken into consideration and if if is admitted that there is an improve ment in both, the figures argue well for the efficiency of the American workman, not. however to the detrt- ment of the ability of the man 0. for eign birth, many Of whom have made such good citizens of this state.
