SHIPS STAY WET

Ships other than those belonging to the United States government still arc paying no attention 10 Attorney Gen cral Daugherty's decision that vessels are breaking the law if they visit Am. evican ports or come inside three miles Of the coast with liquor on board. even though they kept it lock cd up.
 The owners of foreign ships which come to this country and Of American ships that the government does not own wanted Judge Hand of New York to say he thought the attorney general was mistaken and to forbid prohibition officers from interfering with their vessels. However. Judge Hand, refused. saying he believed the attorney general was right. Then the shipowners asked the federal supreme court, which is the highest court in the United States, to say that Judge Hand was mistaken too.
 The supreme court is taking va. cation and probably will not hear the case until late in November. But in the meantime. Secretary ol the Treasury Mellon, whose depart ment enforces the law, says the ships may stay wet. Before he does any thing he wants to know what the s,i' preme court thinks.

WHAT'S GOING ON M THE WORLD
Events of the Week, Briefly Told

resign. on demand Of the faseisti. Three years ago Benito Missolini, a Milan newspaper man, became alarmed by the bolshevik movement in Italy He formed the fascist to oppose 1t. e
 Genuine battles occurred in many towns. A good many lives were lost.
 The fascist succeeded. Evidently today their will In Italy is law. Dis satisfied with Facta's policies, they undertook what Is described as con certed action," broke communications between north, south and central Italy" and made themselves masters of some of the chief towns. deposing the authorities and assuming control
 This sounds considerably like revo- lution, though It did not affect the king, or at any rate. has not yet pos sibly because he submitted, leaving 1t to the fascistt leader to form a cab inet in the Facta ministrys place.
 However, Mussolini virtually is dic- tator. He says he will destroy any government the fascist dislike. From all appearances he is able to do so, too
 Before calling on Mussollni. the king had offered the premiership to Giovanni Giolitti and Antonio Solan- dra. both former prime ministers but they declined the post, when, on in vcstigating, they found they were not acceptable to the fascist organization

NEAR EAST PROBLEM

America, among other countries, 1s asked to join in the conference to settle matters in the Near East where Greece was beaten by the Turks.
 She will accept only unoff1cially but on that basis 1t Is expected she will have representative present, to make suggestions and to tell what Americans, as onlookers, think ought to be done.
 Aside from hoping in general way that the agreement may insure per manent peace, the United States has two particular interests in the Near East.
 For one thing. Turkey has natural resources especially oil, awaiting de- velopment by foreign capital. Ameri- cans want fair chance in this neld Also. as 2 Christian country, the United States Is concerned for the welfare of Christians, such as Arme' nians and Greeks, who live under Turkeys Mohammedan rule. These Christian subjects of Turkel unquestionably have suffered terribly True, 1t is said on good authority tha they treat the Turks as cruelty, when ever they have a chancessas the IurKs given an opportunity, treat them However, this Is no reason for glvint inc Turks a free hand, now that th' | advantage is theirs unless they arr restrained

MIIST OREY LAW

The fact is, the law Is hard to en- force at sea.
 Foreign governments evidently mean to fight 1t. Some have laws requiring iiquor on their vessels.
 Already the English government has refused to let the dry American ship President Adams sail from Ply mouth without taking a supply of brandy This never happened before; seemingly the English authorities de cided to show they can make trouble too.
 If prohibition is made ironclad much shipping certainly will stay away from American ports. Maybe the continental United States won'' care, but some of her island posses sions do. Porto Rico, for instance sends her coffee to Europe on Span, ish vessels which also carry cargce' of rum. They will give up the conee rather than the rum, so Porto Rlce fears her coffee markets ruin.
 To get as much protection from other governments as they can, 1t 's likely many American ships will be transferred to foreign flags. But ships the United States govern ment owns cannot do this The Ship ping Board, which manages them says they will lose most of their pas sengers if they must be dry. while others stay wet. Having tried it, the hoard knows.
 However, it Is certain the supreme courts will disregard all this and bt guided solely by the law.

uyIouE REVOLUTION.

The revolution" in Italy through which Mussolini, leader of the Fas- eistI becomes dictator with royal sanction, is unique. ft Is not a stretch Of the imagination to say that the King, who Is overthrown, is not plunged in despair because Of his own downfall. Well might it be said that 1t is n revolution with the con- sent of the vanquished, but lacking entirely In any element of collusion.
 Moreover peculiar feature of the situation Is that 1t was a revolution, successful because of the threat Of force. yet directed against an element which. ordinarily. relies upon force. namely the Bolsheviki, The anar- chists do not like the success that has come to the Fascist because the lat ter plan to destroy anarchy; the poli- ticians do not like the success of the Fascist because that success takes their bread and butter from them. The revolution was unique because it contradicts all the traditional char acteristics of revolution except the one which brings about change in the government. The danger that came when the Fascist threatened force has been avoided thus far only because force was not used. 1t is only because no one has been burned, despite the playing with fire, that if may be said that perhaps the revolu- ton will prove to have been a good thing for Italy, It might have been the worst possible thing had the fire" been used which was only 1 played with"

we would not even pay tho freight on to get to New Britain. eS Mir. McMahon has neglected to state that the freight to New Britain is s4.B4 making the laid down cost h New Britain $lb.b4 and. although this is per gross ton, meaning 2,2f0 pounds instead of 1000 pounds, the reputable dealer has got to screen and take out the dirt before selling to hls customers, which runs sometimes to more than 300 pounds to the ton. MT. McMahon figures that a ton Of coal should be delivered for soc but ne forgets that before the coal can se delivered, 1t must first be unloaded from the cars into the dealers yard, which in itself~often runs to more i than 50c per ton especially now when we have to unload our cars within 2f i hours or suffer an embargo by the railroad company Mir. McMahon has l failed to consider. that wc have to pay them from 45c to 50c per hour. MT, McMahon has neglected to say that he has no quotations whatsoever on egg or stove coal as there Is no wasil- cry egg or stove.
 Mir. McMahon has neglected to take into consideration any of the proper charges of doing business. In fact he has simply figured low price to fur ther his own personal interests with out being in possession of the fuh facts knowing that the public would sooner believe what they hope for rather than the cold hard facts,

,y,TNEy PETITIONS.

Granted that the people of the state arc not especially anxious to be transported by jltney rather than by trolley. Other things being equal person would probably prefer to ride in a trolley car rather than In jit- ney, especially if the ride is long one. The pumping of the jitney IS not remarkably pleasant; 1t is not as safe, and there are other reasons why trolley transportation is preferable.
 But the people who ride in public conveyances want to save the money that comes from the lower rates of the jitney. This consideration out weighs all others, at present. And some want transportation at any cost If not the trolley. then jitney.
 These things being so--if they may be taken as true--the figures regard ing the number of requests for jitney routes, received by the public utilities commission, are interesting and sig nificant Since April 1, 1921, the commission has received 1,255 appli- cations for certificates to operate jitney routes. It has granted but IA of these petitions.
 The people applying for certificates to run jitneys are representative of the people who use public conveyances. It would be ridiculous to suppose that an application for route was not the reflection of desire of people along that route to have jitney serv- ice-or, to put it more accurately some transportation service at a low fare. The 1,225 applicants for certifi- cates must represent the wishes of tens if not hundreds of thousands Of people. Thus is shown the demand for transportation that is not being met, and that demand, so far in evil dence is limited to 8 demand for l transportation for a lower fare. These tens or hundreds of thousands of people ask for iitneys, through the applicants who would not have ap- piled for the certificates if they did not know all those people wanted transportation and would patronize l the jitneys. Possibly many of those
 needing to be transported would have
 applied to the public utilities commis.
 sion for trolley service had they con.
 sidered it would do any good.
 There arc many deductions thai may be drawn from the 1,2c5 re-
 quests for jitney certificates and one I deduction which cannot be erroneous
 The people of Connecticut are mol
 being served in the matter of trans i pcrtation as they should. The
 thought of the number of people back
 of those 1.255 applications, in spiri'
 at least. strikingly emphasizes thi' fact.

MCMAHON AND HIS CHARGES.

p. $. McMahon, democratic nom ,ree for state senate, in making ms run in New Britain has chosen 'o diyeree from the immediate issues or tbe camnaign and direct his orator. ical guns against individuals wno oo not happen to be running TOT oliice at this time. He is loud in his dehun- ciations, although somewhat obscure with them, and criticises the conduc'' or ethics. of certain leaders or the local republican party, if we get the trend of his remarks correctly. This of course. has only an indirect pear tnr upon the issues of the campaign, but. providing McMahon is correct his allegations should be made as direct charges, rather than through the medium of the speakers stump.
 The candidate. according to what we have gathered. is under the im- pression that he has evidence Whicn would tend to convict someone, he has spoken so that differences as to whom may be easily made, but he has not vet made real charges. If he mas that evidence, if the crime Is as great as he insinuates, he owes 1t to the public of the city of New Britain to enthusiastically make clear what he has to say and, if he is right, to prove his charges and rid the public ot what might be an undesirable condi- ton. He certainly has little right morally or legally. to beat about the bush with charges which cannot be substantiated and which he does not believe will come to an ultimate showdown.
 Let MT. McMahon make his state ments before notary public in cour' before stenographer, or some place where it will be easier to catch th' real wording of his speeches than 1 is at street corner, let him produce what he hints he has in. the line o evidence, and let the public judge Irrespective of the outcome of th' election it is his plain duty as citizeI to come forth, clearly, with the trutf and allow everyone to inspect hi beliefs and his evidence.

"BOOSTr.

There is something slightly offen' sive to some people about the word "boostv. It presents the picture of rather loud spoken individual, who is continually shouting the praises of some person or thing until that per son or thing becomes an unpleasant subject the mention of which or Of whom is the signal for sigh oflresig- nation. Moreover in the word boost there is the element of the sort oi advertising that has been thrown into the discard--the advertising that exaggerates. Truth in advertising IS the slogan of the successful merchant today.
 So. eliminating the word boost, credit should be given the speaker who emphasized the necessity or the wisdom Of selling New Britain to New Britain people," in a speech delivered in this city yesterday. The phrase is technical but one which has become we'll understood. It implies | that it would be we'll to show New | Britain people the advantages of New Britain to gain their sincere enthnsi- asm for the city. No one can speak convincingy of the value of a thing until that person is himself convinced of it's value. Often a man sells" an idea to himself. The lawyer, study ing the strong points of his clients case, becomes convinced that his client is right. Tha, is because he wants to- New Britain people, pre- sumably, want to believe in the city That is a good foundation. If that desire is lacking selling the city to them would be pretty difficult proposition.
 To "sell' New Britain to New Britain people one should first try to make New Britain people want to-
 buy. The desire should come, Of course; their belief in the city helps make the city one worthy of being believed in. A population of loyal citizens is great asset to the city Once the desire to want to" believe in the city is firmly fixed then the process of selling" the city to them should be undertaken in the way

PLANNING THE FUTURE CITY.

Increasing prosperity in the fac line on the wage scale chart and the general belief that business through out the nation will continue to i'm prove steadily for the next few years should inspire considerable thought among men and women who are looked upon as leaders in New Brit ain. In. the next decade this city Is expected to surpass even it's record of the past decade. There is no req son why it should not exceed during the next ten years It's growth of the past twenty.
 New Britain is fortunate in having as it's principal industry the manu- facture of essentials. It's backbone is builders hardware. There are other important products to give variety, but builders hardware ranks first, Our prosperity will be commensurate . with the need of business buildings and dwellings throughout the nation and already tide of construction has set in which Is expected to remain strong for several years.
 The future seems assured, so far as industrial activity is concerned. There should be plenty of work for those who want to work and there should be dividends for those who save theil money and invest it in our conserva. lively factories.
 On the eve of this period of expan- sion, plans should be in the making for a Greater New Britain. There should be a definite program looking well into the future by every public semi-public and civic organization As a child grows he requires larger clothes and his desires change. A, New Britain grows, it will require broader planning in keeping with 1t, development.
 Men and women of vision are tn, need of the moment. They are here but the city is not getting maximum benefit from their presence becaus' there is no central clearing house fo their constructive ideas. In thei respective fields they possess acumen ability and creative foresight, al directed. however, toward the accom- plishment of different aims. In orde to derive the most effective results their energies should be coordinate, to the end that it may be concen trated on the upbuilding of Ney Britain.
 The time is ripe for the organiza ton of a Greater New Britain Com mittee. It could be composed of rep resentatives from the many organiza lions which are now working for tn

A Coal Dealers Slant.
Editor Herald:

Editor Herald:
 Since coal dealers and their doings seem to be in the limelight within the past few weeks, we, as one of them, wish to fling our hat into the ring and make few comments on our worthy mayors accusations as re- gards prices; and also give a few facts as to how things have been go- ing on since the termination of the strike, Sept il.
 In order to ascertain the exact con- dition of the coal market at that time, personally left New Britain on Sept. IA for the coal region and after spending a few days, in which cov- cred seven hundred miles, and getting in touch with the various operators, this Is what I found:
 After calling on the operators who have supplied us with company or cheaper priced coal and make sound ings as to deliveries, all l got was vague promises that in the near fu- ture they would do all they can for me. At present could expect notl- ing definite, as the west must get their supply first since they get their coal via the Great Lakes; and these shipments must be made before the Lakes are frozen. Also. that owing to the car shortage they have not enough ears to ship to New England owing to the fact that it takes four weeks for car to go there and back whereas, when coal is shipped viz tidewater it only takes between three and four days. One operator promised to ship mt six cars of pea coal at company price at once; but, to date, we have only received one lone car. M Knowing the conditions as they are at first hand, and having in mind al | the same time that our yard as wei as all the rest of the yards in New ] Britain were void of even a pound oi coal, what was l to do, wait fol company coal and freeze or buy inde' pendent coal at higher price, there by playing safe in case of the colo weather coming early? Also, actins somewhat upon the advice given b! l our mayor at a meeting of the coa dealers in his office, during which h' stated that the coal situation is crit | ical and it is up to us dealers to d' what we can to get coal, took thu latter course and am glad of 1t, fo to date, see that conditions hav' not changed.
 Then I went looking for the so called ''bootlegging coal" which, evei at that time, was very hard to pro cure, as they asked as high as $15.o per ton for it at the mine.
 I finally called on an operator witt whom we did business before and h.
 proposed that If I take one week
 output of coal he would charge m

ENGLAND'S POLITICAL
 HUMBLE

England, where Premier Lloyd George was forced from first place Tn the government, to be succeeded by Andrew Bonar Law, only a week ago, is preparing already for national election to decide who really IS strong est.
 The situation is very jumbled. The biz parties, liberals and conservatives, both are split, even worse than the republicans and democrats are spht here. Nobody can guess how they will divide when they come to vote; nobody knows just who is leader or either. The labor party Is solid> ana pretty strong, but by no means In 2 majority. Lloyd George talks oi forming a central group, but this talk is rather vague.
 It seems likely that no one party will have a majority in the next par liament, so that the premier will nave to form an alliance with one Of the others besides his own. This cahno' but mean compromise and uncertain ty. & most unfortunate thing at time when the worlds affairs call TOT clean-cut policies on the great powers part so urgently that a vaclllatlne government is almost worse than really bad one which knows its owr mind.
