WOULD HAVE WOMEN
 IN LOCAL OFFICES Member of the Fair Sex May
 Serve as Second SeleCtman
 MACARONI FACTORY CLOSED
Doors Closed Yesterday by Constable Fred Wrinkle of New Britain-Start Extradition Proceedings at Spring f1eld-News in Brief.

That the women of the town arc planning to be more than just inter. ested" in the coming fall politica campaign and elections can be ob- served from the talk which has beer heard lately in regards to having a member of the fairer sex serve on the board of selectmen. Even the first rumor that some prominent woman in Berlin would dare seek an office on the board caused quite a bit of ex- citement among the many staid resi- dents of the town and 1t is now won- dered just which the women will pre- fer the first second or third select mans berth.
 First Selectman Carter was asked this morning as to what he thought of a woman serving on the board, He said that he would not he opposed to 1t although he is satisfied with the members now serving with him and hopes that they will be reelected in October.
 Francis Dening, representative to the legislature and secretary of the Berlin Savings bank, was asked what he thought of woman serving on the board and said that he, did not see why woman could not serve. Oth- CTS interested in politics were asked and all were of the opinion that a woman could perhaps fillithe bill as well as man.
 A woman, if elected to office, would in all proba bility go in as second selectman as it is felt by many that the first selectman's berth should still be filled by man. If a woman should announce her candidacy for this position, which it is expected would be on the republican ticket, it

HIGH OFFICIALS

At BEDSIDE Of
DYING PRELATE
Conflicting Reports Emanate
From European Capitals
on Last Moments.
RUMoRs OF HIS SUCCESSOR
Cardinal Maffi Generally Con-
sidered Probability for
Head of Church.

Washington this morning awaited
official announcement Of the death
Of Pope Benedict XIV, after a day
and night in which reports had
both officially confirmed and Off
cially denied news that he had
passed away.
The first announcement Of the
Pope's death yesterday came short
ly before noon from the correspon-
dent Of the International News
Service at Rome. The message was
relayed via Paris.
First Reports Denied.
About an hour later the United
Press Associations wires carried a
dispatch from London, stating that
the Reuter- News Agency had sent a
dispatch from Rome saying the Pom
tiff had died.
Shortly before 2 p. m. the Asso-
ciated Press reported that Cardi-
nal Bourne, in London, had made an
official announcement of the death
Of Pope Benedict. The International
News Service also sent this message.
Late in the day a member Of Car
dinal Bourne's staff stated that an
apparent error had been made in the
report. Meanwhile, other reports
from Rome, Paris, Berlin and Lon
don confirmed the news of the death.
Newspapers in every large city
in Europe and America announced
that the Pope had died, and Cath
olic clergy in European capitals
stated that they had verification
through official notifications from
Rome.
Attendants Deceived by Sleep.
Later messages from the bedside
Of the prelate announced that he
had fallen into a light sleep and
that attendants had believed him
dead and had so announced to the
clergy and to the press.
Early this morning it was an
nounced that the Pope was still
alive, and that he might possibly
live through the night.
Shortly after I o'clock this
morning the Universal Service and
the International News Service
both flashed messages that His
Holiness had died. Both messages
were telephoned to Paris from
Rome and announced the hour of
death to be Sunday at 6 a. m.
(Rome time).
Later, an International News

that the Pontiff had died at G q. m.

On what basis of justice or general
good, or public benefit or individual ad-
vantage, or liberty or democracy or self
determination, or anything that is rec
ognized as right, is India kept in bondage
by England?
India is surely nation to which the
principle Of self determination might best
apply.
It is one Of the Oldest nations of the
world, and is, in fact, the Mother of Ma
tions.
It is one Of the most populous nations,
having a population more than twice
that of the United States and more than
four times that of Great Britain and Ire
land.
It covers an enormous territory Of
1,766,642 square miles, determined by the
seas and mountains which surround it.
It is a nation geographically, politically.
populously, ethnologically and historically.
No nation has had q greater history
or a longer history, or has played more
important part in the world. .s
There are only two reasons why In
dia became subject to England. One was
the military power Of England, and the
other was the exaggerated pacifsm Of
India embodied not only in its politics
but in its religion pacifism as stupid
and shortsighted, as ridiculous and as
ruinous in this wolfish world as the
pacifism of some of our own statesmen.
Liberty India once possessed in as great
a degree as England, her conqueror; the
people Of India before they were con-
quered voted and controlled their own
destiny.
Literature India knew to as great q
degree as any nation in the world.
Art and science India knew after her
own manner, and had developed to the
highest point of perfection.
In architecture India excelled, and gen:
eral education and general culture were
at least as widespread as in the nations
of Europe at the time Of the conquest Of
India by England.
PACIFISM and UNPREPAREDNESS
were the cause of India's submission to
England, nation always powerful and
always prepared in armament to support
her policy Of greed and aggression.
Those were the only reasons, but the
sufficient reasons, for the subjugation Of
India by England a century and half
ago.
But are they sufficient reasons for the
continued subjugation of India by England
today, in view of the principles which our
America, and England and France and
other enlightened nations Of the world
have so lately declared for and fought
for?
Are they consistent with our proclaimed
principles Of liberty, democracy and self
determination Of nations?
Are they based on fundamental JUS

racy, independence, government by consent

entitled to these benefits and blessings as
we are.
And if India is entitled to these bene-
fits, does our alliance with England and
Japan mean that we must sacrifice our
democracy to the imperialism of these two
militarist nations, our ideals Of liberty to
their schemes of conquest the high princi-
pies which have made our America the
spiritual leader of the world to the plans
of plunder and oppression which have
made those nations the hated tyrants Of
the world?
Must we scrap our Declaration of In
dependence, the democratic principles for
which we stand, the liberties for which
we have always fought and the ships and
men which have enabled US to defend
those principles and those liberties?
Must we who have lived as hberators
now ally ourselves with oppressors?
Should we not rather scrap this un-
