Frances great weakness Is financial At the "premiers' conference" Ital.
 and Belgium sided with her against
 England. but neither England nor
 Belgium can help her out in n money way. England is Europe's great fi- nancial power. Moreover. the English believe. at any rate. that the United States agrees with them in looking askance upon Frances policy of force against Germany.
 IL isn't to be assumed that either England or America Is unfriendly to France. but only that the former cer- tainly. and the latter in many peoples opinion. think the French are making a mistake in their German policy and will not want to help them so long as they stick to 1t.
 With the French franc and the Italian lire already of very doubtful value in the worlds money markets, financiers predict that these countries will be brought soon to a realization of the unwisdom of disregarding the English and American opinion of their judgment. Of course If a large sum can be wrung from Germany 1t may make a difference, but the financiers loubt 1t.

WHAT'S GOING ON W THE WORLD
Events of the Week Briefly Told
By Charles P. Stewart


 Her war damage claims against Germany far in arrears, France is preparing definitely to seize German territory and wealth to pay herself
 In a military way, not much re- mains for the French to do, except to begin the actual movement of troops. Her army already is practi- cally in readiness.
 It is the Ruhr district, Germany's great industrial section, that French forces unquestionabiy will occupy first. There, if she were acting with Englands approval, France would stop, in deference to English wishes Whatever she does now, however, will be done independently, and. in fact, in spite of the English, so perhaps she will feel at liberty to go as far as she likes. maybe beyond the Ruhrs boun- daries.
 The supposition is that the French advance will not be ordered until after Jan. Is, when another pay ment will be due from the Germans, . payment which it is almost certain, will not be forthcoming.
 There seems no present likelihood that the invasion will be delayed much beyond that date.

BUSINESS CREDIT

The constant repetition Of the state,
 ment from England that she intended
 10 pay her debt to the United statei
 10 the last cent is worth money te
 England. That statement was made
 in no uncertain terms while Lloyd
 George was in power: it has been
 reiterated under Bonar Law. and
 now the Chancellor Of the British
 Exeheauer. here in this country. makes the statement again. There has been discussion Of the wisdom of demanding full payment in thls coun- try. The matter was presented at the convention of bankers in New York as one over which the people of the country might well ponder. But there has been no doubtful suggestion off, cially made by England.
 Wise men throw no bouquets at England for taking this determined stand. Wise men know the value of credit and see in England's attitude recognition of that wisdom. Eng land may have all sorts of hope that general cutting of international debts will come and that she will be relieved from payment of part of her debt to us. But she will not take the initiative in any such move. Good will' goes hand in hand with good credit" and the former is what every European country wants in it's deal- ings with this country.
 And meanwhile our able members of the debt funding commission feel that their hands are tied. It is re- 1 ported that the administration is con- vinced that no settlement of the prob 1 lem can be made under the terms of the law as it now exists. This has | been recognized to be fact for some ! time. Possibly the White House might be persuaded to go as far as to sug- yest-merely suggest-that more power be given by law to our commis- 'ioners.

THE RUSSIAN CHRISTMAS

It is possible to believe firmly that the anti-religion demonstration in Russia on Christmas day will do more to start reaction against communism thing could have done. Sincerely re- ligious people will recall the old hymn telling of Deity's mysterious ways of performing His wonders. There is a belief that He is big enough to allow what is ordinarally called sacrilege to bring about good. Even those who do not believe in the intimate regu- lation of life by greater being will see in the Christmas demonstration in Russia when the grotesque carnival made an attack upon heaven" the effect such spectacle would have upon men.
 No man believes today that the young persons who scoffed at our God, at all gods, will be stricken by a bolt from heaven" Such might have been the belief in the dark ages. The secret criminal is in no less danger than are those thoughtess individuals. There should be no emphasizing of the of their action except as it affects the future of communism in Russia, in the world.
 But the significance of their Christ mas day action may be seen if one may imagine similar situation in | this country. Suppose, for the sake of illustration, some organization in communists, if one will l a similar demonstration. Suppose its members ridiculed the cular manner adopted in Russia. Could anything prove more disastrous 10 their cause? Many who had consd- cred that cause with some sympathy would turn from 1t in disgust. It's end would come speedily.
 There will be that reaction in Rus ,ia, it may well be believed. It will lot be seen as would be the case in America, but it will come if such demonstrations are repeated frequent Y, such activities made a glaringly 'vident part of communism as they rave been part of it less in evil Ience. And 1t is to be noted that reports ell of greater crowds in the churches , f Russia on Christmas day than had , cen noted in long time. Il

"ACTING" OR "VOTING.

The Connecticut press has beer
 much concerned over the possible loss
 of former highway Commissioner
 Charles J. Bennett who has declined
 post. It seemed to be the general opinion that it would be at least un- wise to make change in this matter which, under Commissioner Bennett, has been satisfactory to degree. People of the state are proud of our highways and of the man who is re- sponsible, more than anyone else, for their excellence.
 An esteemed contemporary on Tuesday, speaking of the plan of Gov ernor Templeton to have commission in charge of this work, stated that Mir. Bennett. if member of such commission, would be voting with" the other members and so an import ant factor" in road work. Today the es- teemed contemporary explains that a 
 typographical vagary" changed the intended word acting for the word voting" which was not intended to be used at all. It meant to say that MT. Bennett would be acting with" the other members of the commission.
 The Herald disavows any intention to criticize any newspaper for Typographical vagary." Far. far be it from suchl And this newspaper is grateful for the phrase. ''typographi- cal vagary' which might cover a multitude of errors without placing the blame anywhere in particular. The inner office, the outer office and the composing room would be covered by the splendid expression. And this newspaper, in common with ail others, l has many of such vagaries to blush 1 over But if memory survives it is a | person named Freud, of some intelll- gence and undoubtedly known to our esteemed contemporary, who declares that all errors are prompted by some | conviction. One may de- nounce the person whose name Is not | as it is spelled, as one who has many theories to which one 1oes not care to subscribe. but it would seem quite possible that the conviction that Mir.

THE SALARY QUESTION

New Britain's board Of managers
 the common eouneil-will soon have
 before 1t for consideration the annual
 appeal for salary increases.
 Two questions arise: fal Can New
 Britain afford. as going business, to
 grant the increases? tbt Can New
 Britain afford not to grant the in-
 creasess
 The city is growing. Ii Is quite na- tural to expect that the official family will grow rroportionately. AS the family becomes larger the salary burden becomes heavier. The money comes out Of the pockets of the tax payers, who are already eompiainine that taxes are high and returns for the money expended are smaller than they should be. This is normalcy. It is desirable condition. A city in which taxpayers do not complain Is retrogressing.' It is an example of community in which the citizens take no interest in public affairs.
 New Britain taxpayers have con- plained In loud tones during the past few years. Many Of them believe that public officials and other persons in the employ of the city are well paid compared with employees of private enterprises. Tn some cases their con- plaints are justified and it is to these cases that the common council must give exceptionally close attention.
 There is another angle to the salary ouestion-can the city afford to refuseN petitions for increases? The demand for manpower throughout the nation is growing. Even now there is shortage in some lines If the city does not pay salaries commensurate with the value of it's employees. it must be prepared to surrender them to others who will. There is the danger.
 Selection of public employees who de- serve salary increases should be done The fact that person seeks an increase is not sufficient proof that he should have one. However, there are men and women working for New Britain whose special knowl- edge of their tasks or whose long sery- Ice and loyalty should be taken into To reject their appeals might result in driving them into other fields where their worth would be appreciated.

AMERICAN TROOPS IN
 COBLENZ

The first result in this country of the situation between France and Germany was the adoption, 57 to 6. of United States senate resolution in favor of recalling the small Am ericnn force which ever since the war ended, has remained on German soil.
 It had been suggested previously that the government was pretty apt to do this anyway, even without this expression from the senate.
 With soldiers in the very territory 1t is expected the French will want to occupy, if they go ahead with their program, it is easy to see that the United States might find it hard to avoid showing ,leanings one way or the other, especially in the event of fighting.

TURKS STANDING PAT

The outlook between Turkey and England continues very threatening.
 It is the general expectation in view of the Anglo French break over Germany, that France will tell Eng land she cannot cooperate with the latter if she lets matters go on to a clash with Turkey. This probably has stiffened the Turks position
 There is this hopeful feature:
 The Turks, while standing pat on all important matters, seem in- clined to make some minor conces- sions, and the English public is bit- terly opposed to war with them.
 The greatest danger is that Greece, whose interests would be served by a Turko- English conflict, may do some- thing to precipitate it. She is hurry ing preparations to strike a blow in Thrace. If she should do so the Turks surely would strike back, and it would be very hard for England to keep out of it.

THE MEN WHO DELIVER

In connection with the sensible re- quest of the new local fuel administra- tor to clear the snow away from cell lar windows in order to speed up coal distribution. there comes the thought that the men who deliver the coal should not be blamed for the present condition of things. They should not be blamed for the high prices, the
