SOLDIERS AND POLITICS.

In some parts of the state there are
being formed ex-service mems organi-
zations which are frankly political in
their character This is perfectly
proper. OF course. knowing the facts
only those who wish to do so need
join such associations.
CARNATIONS. formed for other pur-
pose essentially the affairs of ex-serv-
Ice men. are giving much time to con-
sideration of politics. This is the
business of the members of such or
CARNATIONS themselves. If they can
not see they are heading their or
CARNATIONS to failure by such tactics
1t is their fault and no ones business.
There are other instances where
organizations are being formed, os-
tensibly for the purpose of bringing
ex-service men together but in real
ity, apparently, for the purpose of
gaining some influence which may be
turned to the support of some par
ticular candidate. They may be on
the fence as yet, or they may have
declared themselves openly. 1t makes
little difference in the amount of criti-
cism which should be directed at the
organizers of such bodies of men, and
at those who would make use Of
such organizations.
Ex-service men should not be
barred from taking an active interest
in politics. They may be violent
partisans quite as properly as others.
But their period of service should not
be used as a cloak or a weapon. Their
political activities should be separat-
ed from their character as eX-service
men. This use of former service in
the army discredits such service, ben
efits the men themselves not at all,
and should not aid, but rather harm
the chances of politicians who make
use of ex-service men because OF
their former service.

THE. RADIO.

When the full realization strikes
of vital Importance, music, appeals
for help, assurances Of help to come
thought is appalling
Immediately there comes to mind
the old exclamation: II wish | knew
what that man is thinking about"
Today it is impossible for millions of
people to know what the air is think
ing about, and more practically,
what people all over the world are
thinking and saying.
The press is supposed to be the
great dissemination of information.
To pass on the information it receives
the press needs and uses paper, ink
and means of placing on that paper
the words that will convey what ii
has learned to it's readers. Hereto
fore the press has made use of men,
the telephone, the telegraph to gath
err that information. All that man
or woman or child has needed to be
informed on the matter reported in
the press is ability to read or to hear
what others read aloud. The readers
of the press will need nothing more
than this in the future.
But a new obligation has been laid
upon the press. AS this new source
OF information has developed, the air,
it must secure means to tap" the air
for information that 1t may make use
of it as it has made use of other
means in the past. The press must
obtain the Instruments necessary to
securing the data floating about or
rather, darling through the air. At
present the matter is in its infancy
and news will come through the or
binary channels as in the past But
he who does not sec the possibilities
of this new means of securing infor-
mation-the man VINO does not real
ize that in time all modern news
paper plants will be equipped with
radio apparatus, has little vision
The Herald has installed such an
apparatus. 1t is interested in the de-
,elopment OF the possibilities of the
radio and is anxious to further
knowledge of that development as 1t
comes. The Herald's reportorial
rooms are opened to the club that is
TO be formed composed of those in
terested also. y new era oil news
gathering is being inaugurated. The
Herald is glad to be in position to
invite others to share in the satlsfac-
ton of watching the development of
tho possibilities and to be among the
first to enjoy the practical benefits
that are inevitable.

ASK INVESTIGATION
OF MEMORIAL PLANS
Mass. Congressman Wants To Know
Who Will Pay For Proposed
Washington Building

Washington, Fec. 81. - Investiga
ton of the George Washington memo
rial association in charge of the cree
ton in Washington Of the Victory
memorial building, structure in
memory of those who have served in
the nations wars, is proposed in a
resolution introduced by Representa-
tive Underhill, republican, Massachu-
sets.
He accompanied his resolution of
inquiry with the declaration that I'VE
don't know what this George Wash
ington memorial building will cost or
who will pay it," The investigation
would be conducted by the house pub
lie buildings and grounds committee
and would be designed under the res
olution to ascertain the amount of
funds in possession of the association
and the methods used in raising
money to erect the proposed building.
The cornerstone of the building was
laid several weeks ago by President
Harding.
Representative Underhil in a
statement said that in introducing his
resolution he was not actuated by any
anmosity towards Mrs. Henry r. Di-
mock or other leaders of the associa-
ton and added:
THE people Of Tennessee, ] under
stand, have already contributed
through taxation and the people of
other states are urged to do likewise.
1t is only fair that all of the infor-
nation possible should be given to
the people and their legislators SO
that they may express their approval
or disapproval of the project, not up
on the intention of its projectors but
upon the ultimate accomplishments
and results"

of the New York stock Exchange, a
former New Haven man, talking In
New Haven n day or so ago, said:
"Thc men in New York who make the

ing forward to the greatest revival

that 1t will come not earlier than next

small stocks, but when the revival
comes there will be panic for mer-
chandise Manufacturers will not be
able to supply the immediate demand.
The stock market is already discount
ing this revival in business" In this
connection the definite turn toward
the normal in the international
money market as indicated by the
present condition of exchanges, the
English pound Sterling leading, is
cited.
Along the same line is the state
ment from Washington that condi-
lions show the most satisfactory
times in the financial affairs Of the
country" since the end OF 1919. A
statement from the White House says
the condition shown in the December
call demonstrates that the process of
liquidation has been proceeding at
such an excellent rate that it may
fairly be said that we are well on the
road to getting the frozen credits
thawed out"
And again it is well to mention that
of all the sections of the country thus
far covered by Roger Babson in his
survey of the whole New England
looks the most promising. 1t turned
the corner" first. 1t should reach the
goal of good times first.

AVOIDING INCOME TAX

Reports come from New York that
the police are being kept very busy
furnishing data to people inquiring as
to the date and circumstances of GER
tain robberies and holdups, just at
this time. The deduction is made,
bas,d on information from the col
lectors of the income tax, that such
people are trying to recall such dates
for the purpose of substantiating
statements of losses through burglar
les and hold-ups that they may de
duct such loses from their incomes,
thus avoiding some Of the tax they
would otherwise have to pay.
This is an obvious method for re-
ducing ones tax and, if used honestly,
is perfectly proper. 1t is bad enough
to lose cash or other valuable proper
ty through robberies, but it would in
deed be adding insult to injury to be
forced to pay tax on the amount OF
income lost in this way. But those
who would make use OF this plea
when they are unable to prove the
loss later when the government asks
EN- EMBARRASSING questions as it is likely
to do, are playing with fire that
may burn deeply,
The prevalence of this form of
seeking exemption of sums of money
indicates one of two things-either
the number of burglaries and hold
ups last year was unusually large in
New York, whence come the reports,
or else the payers of income tax are
reducing that tax which they are
Obliged to pay The much advertised
not less of this sort of crime, at least,
and possibly there was more. But it
is believed that the prevalence of this
seeking of a saving is due rather to
the realization that there are many
WAYS of finding how to exempt GER
tain moneys from the amount on
which the tax is to be figured.
This is ono of the most obvious
ways The significance to be attached
to its appearance lies in the surmise
that there are many other ways, dis
covered by clever men, involving
manipulation of intricate figures to
the end that their incomes, for tho
purposes of taxation, dwindlc per-
ceptbly. The discovery of these eva
sions is one of the tasks the Federal
government will have ever before IT,
and the saving to the Federal govern
ment. as they are discovered. will be
UNNECESSARILY greater than the sum
total of all the hold-ups and burglar
ias for which exemption is sought.

E>GLAND's OPINION OF Us

| GI.NNLiANh vi ANlo-N vi ~
| Whatever we may think of England
she has shown about as plainly as
possible what she thinks of the United
States-what she thinks of its power
and prospects. She has paid this
country the greatest of compliments
not necessary because she wanted to
compliment the United States, but
certainly because she deemed it wise
to act in a way which may be inter-
preted to mean nothing other than
she believes the United States is the
nation, out of all the world, to which
lit is safest for her to tie. She has
shown that she believes in the in
tegrty of the nation, that she is con-
tident this country will never be
prompted by desire to become ag-
gressive for selfish reasons, to en-
croach on the territory or rights of
England or any other nation-but
CSpeClully OF E1SldHu
That country has shown this to be
the conviction OF her leaders by her
practical sharing with the United
States the sovereignty of the seas
which has been hers so long. The
thought that she could consent to a
practical equalization on the waters
with any nation other than this, is
Uncomfortable.
There is no intention to attribute
to England an unselfish motive in her
attitude at the armament conference.
There is no intention to assert that
her motive was entirely selfish. The
stand she took might have been
selfish or by the desire to further
the peace aims, mindful Of the fact
that in conserving to maintain no
greater navy than that of the United
State she was running no risk, conf
dent as she must be Of the honesty
of purpose of this country and its
leaders, past. present and to come.
1t is certain that England's vision
is broad that she realized at the con-
terence and realizes now that her sea
power, her own domain, will be safer
under an arrangement which limits
the naval power of other countries
but allows equal power to the United
States than it would be were there no
restrictions on the naval ornaments
Of other nations. England wants to tie
to the United States. The United
States may accept the compliment
and admire England for her good
sense if for nothing else
