FOR BETTER
CONDITIONS THIS YEAR
MAYOR WILTON

New London appreciates this op-
portunity to promote closer relation
ships between Eastern Ccnnectscnt
cities. We all face the opening New
Year under conditions Of some dini-
Guilty. but 1 am sure with . com
mon hope that these conditions viii
soon improve.
Many reports are now being issued
about unemployment and the cost Of
living and about building and produe-
tive activities and the prevailing wage
rates. etc. In most cases. these reports
include and average too much terri
tory to be OF great Heal advantage
think the exchange Of definite ard
specific Information along these lines
between the larger communities Of
Eastern Connecticut would be Of al
rect advantage.
Perhaps such an exchange could
best be effected by peans of replies
to a group Of questions OF common
4 interest such replies to be published
4 In The Bulletin. II the mayors and
l wardens of all our larger confnuni-
| ties would unite in preparing or aF-
proving such a QUESTIONABLE. I thialS
| this published answers would help rs
all. and perhaps increase the con-
1 tentment of each community with
its own condition; for no doubt We
/ are more fortunate here fn Eastern
l Connecticut than some other sections.
II i've do not rise quite so high
on the peak Of the business chart.
neither do we fail so far; and In the
long run such n hatter curve Ind
Gates better living conditions and
contentment.
New London Joins IN the wish for
happy and prosperous New year

NIAGGED by congress through
resolution for an investigation Of
Attorney General Daugherty's failure
to proceed legally against those who
have been robbing the government In
war contracts, that official made
report to President Harding in which
he blamed the delay on congress-
The attorney general laid the blame
for failure to prosecute upon congress

against war profiteers as soon as nee
essary legislation is enacted. He
called for prompt action on the meas
ure creating twenty-three addition

fishing special grand jury in the.
District of Columbia to grind out In
dictments against accused contractors,
and an additional appropriation Of.
$5OO,OOO to enable the department Of
Justice to continue its inquiries.
Mr.. Daugherty called attention to
the fact that nearly all the transac-
lions in question took place during
the preceding administration and that
naturally little was done then to bring
them to light. He promised that he
would soon make public the names Of
influential personages who had knowl-
edge Of the transactions but were per-
sonally interested In concealing them.

D USSIA'S reply to the proposals Of
N the allied nations represented at
the Genoa conference, awaited with
greatest anxiety for days, was handed
In last Thursday, and proved to be
not !, real reply but long controversi-
al document.
"Wholly unsatisfactory" was the
verdict of the French and Belgians, but
NJ. Barthou and his colleagues awaited
from the conference.
On the other hand the British,
though far from satisfied with the an
swer Of the soviet delegates, professed
to see in it chance for further nego-
tiations which might we'll lead to an
amicable settlement. They called the
Russian note distinctly conciliatory.
Concerning the crucial clauses Of the
allied note dealing with the restora-
ton Of foreign property confiscated by
the soviets, the Russians made the gen.
eral proposition that all financial mat
tiers between Russia and the powers be
placed in the hands of mixed COM
mission Of experts, but they rejected
the proposed mixed commission to de-
termine the payment for nationalized
property because 1t "would make the
sovereignty of the Russian state a
plaything Of chance" Since the other
powers refuse the immense loan the
Russians demanded, the latter with.
drew their remuneration of counter
claims based on allied help given the
various anti-bolshevik leaders.
Lloyd George was hopeful that, II
the financial questions were turned
over to a mixed commission, the con.
ference might be carried along until
his nonaggresslon pact Is made q
reality. The Italians are supporting
him. while Japan shows signs Of stand
ing with France and Belgium In de
handing Immediate and definite reply
by Russia.
THAT story Of military convention

Russian soviet army and the German
general staff in Berlin April 8, hrst
