EVEN YOUTH PROTESTS

The demonstration of the Yale Freshmen against the order con- polling them to eat at Commons staged the other night, has signifi- canoe which extends beyond the
 shadow of the elms. They did not all like the food but that is not the
 important point. Many young men do not like the food at the joint where they eat, but they do not com bine to present spectacular demonstra- tions; they do not turn over the tables, throw food about and march
 in a procession Of protest. Rather
 they either leave or they make use Of their right to personal freedom to
 leave to see to it that better food is served. The significance of the demonstra- ton is that it is in line with other protests, murmured by so many mill- ions that it is becoming a low, omin-
 
 broad enough, wise enough to under stand. It is protest that is sweep ing the country against interference with personal liberty. The Freshmen at Yale have been writing letters ob- jecting to the spirit of "paternalism" which they see in the order of last year compelling all Freshmen to eat at a certain place. This is the pro- test of comparative youth. Youth, middle-age and even old-age, all over the country, are protesting against the spirit of "paternalism" being dis played by those who make the laws. No countrywide demonstration has been staged, but this affair at Yale did not come to head until one quarter of students life at college had been passed. Paternalism in the lives of men in the country has not been at work long. Consider the sit uation of the ever-increasing number of restrictions that are being thrown about the daily lives of men bs the laws inspired by the command | Don't" Then consider the demon-
 stration that might come and its
 results.

activities were carried on for thi
 purpose of influencing the election O
 iass and. therefore, it comes within proper definition of what 'poiiti- cal organization" is, The defense, namely that 1t was incorporated was unayaling for the simple reason that had such incorporation taken it out of the stricture Of the law, any political party organization, by incorporating. could escape the requirements of the act passed for the sole purpose of as- surfing publicity in regard to their expenditures and receipts,
 The theory of the law, as pointed out by the judge, is that publicity never harmed proper organizations Of this nature and publicity has often made improper organizations power less. The secrecy which has attached to the activities of the League has harmed it already to an incalcuable extent. Whether or not 1t will be able to command an income of q quarter of million dollars a year or not when the sources of that income must be disclosed, is question. Certainly, since the leaders of the league. Ander- son especially have deemed secrecy necessary in regard 10 certain of it's expenditures, many of those expendi- lures will bc eliminated under the new ruling--if Anderson has told the truth.
 The activities of tho New York League hereafter, in the matter of finances, must be above e-board-which would be one of the best things that may be said about it.

WHAT'S GOING ON M THE WORLD
By Charles P. stewart

When a labor leader gets himself up in court dress, with knee brooches and white silk stockings, to eat at the same table with king, it's open to question whether the labor leader hasn't conceded more to the conyen- tions than the king has,
 And to read farther that the host oss jolsingly asked the leader if his hese wore Ion straight" gives the dis tinct impression that her deliberate Idea was to make q goat" of him.
 At any rate, such is the story news dispatches tell about President Clynes of the English National Union of General Workers. General Secretary Thomas of the railroad mems union and Philip Snowden, who, with their wives, were invited to dinner at Lord Astor's house in London last week, to meet King George and Queen Mary.
 The correspondents idea seems to be that n tremendous honor was done them, but 1t sounds good deal more as if they were being shown off.
 Parcnthetically it's fair to say that the suggestion attributed to Lady As- tor that her labor guests pull up their stockings" and her query as to whether these same stockings were lon straight" almost certainly were some correspondents invention. It isn't bit likely she'd have been so iil-bred.
 The fact that such men could be prevailed on to rig up in masquerade costumes was sensation enough--a good deal more of sensation than that they were deemed worthy to dine with the king. who'd have been a little tactful, anybody'd think, If he'd intmated that it would be all right for them to come in ordinary store clothes.
 American Ambassador Harvey was there, too, also in short pants, but he's done it before.

GAINS FOR LABOR PARTY

A good deal of comments been caused by the defeat of Conservative candidates, in what had been consid- cred Conservative constituencies, in recent English Parliamentary by-elec- tions.
 These English by-eections simply are elections to fill vacancies. The Conservative defeats mean that An drew Bonar Law, the party's leader and premier besides, has lost three supporters in Parliament, which is quite a black eye, considering that his majority was small anyway.
 And in all three cases the Labor Party won.
 The Labor Party, it's interesting to note is the strongest group in Parlia- ment, next to the Conservatives. So if Bonar Law should lose his major ity entirely the labor leader would be- come premier automatically. But he wouldn't have a majority either. so he couldn't last long. Thered have to be another general election. For a little while. however, Ramsay Mac Donald, the ultra radical, would be prime minister.

NOT WORTH A FIGHT

News from Turkey Is good, too. True, the Turkish national assembly at Angora has turned down the pro- posed treaty which an international group of diplomats worked SO .long over at Lausanne, Switzerland---a treaty which 1t was said the Turks had got to accept, or there'd be war between them and the British, to a dead certainty.
 But now that it's definitely known the Turks aren't going to accept it. everybody says carelessly, in effect:
 "Oh, well, never mind, it'll all be fixed up satisfactorily, anyway"
 How come?" you ask.
 Well, they do say that experts have investigated the oil deposits in the Turkish province Of Mosul, which the British claimed as theirs to adminis- ter. under ruling of the League of Nations. and that the value of these deposits has been found to have been greatly exaggerated--not worth fight ing about, in fact.

GARAGE COMMISSION

The municipal garage has come to stay, not because of its present show ing. but rather in spite of it and be- cause it is the business-like way to arrange for the care of the city's au- tomobiles The suggestion has been made that its management should be in the hands of a commission, not committee of the common council. The suggestion is good one, ana again there arises case of accept ing a suggestion not because of it's source, but because of its soundness Again it is pertinent to remark that approving the suggestion of a man or a board does not mean necessarily approval in all things of that man or that board, as it does not, of course, mean disapproval. The point is the suggestion and nothing else.
 As in the case of a salary com mission. favored by this newspaper, some arrangement should be made whereby the knowledge and informa- tion once gained by the body handling salary matters or municipal garage matters, should be perpetuated. This is the best way of avoiding making the same mistake twice. Perpetuation of such information and experience could come by the establishment of a continuing commission, that is, by the overlapping of the terms of its members there would always be some members who would be in possession of facts brought out before the com- mission. The first appointments should be made for term of one year for half the members, two years for the rest. When new appointments are made, therefore, there would remain on the commission certain members holding over from the last adminis- tration.
 The matter of salaries and the matter of the management of the municipal garage are two continually vexing problems which commission better than new committee chang ing with each administration, could handle wisely.

POWER OR PUBLICITY

New Britain folks have done pretty well this vexing winter about keep ing the snow off their walks. They haven't kept it off, of course but they have made a good stab at it and it would take a superman to keep all the snow off the walks the way the them up. If all New Britain walks had been kept clean this winter, there would have been little work done in stores, offices and factories by men who could not well afford to hire somebody every few minutes to take off the last snow that had arrived. For men would have had to remain at home, many days and sit near the front door, waiting for the arrival of the snow or shovelling if off the walk So tell the world New Britain people have done pretty well.
 However, it is safe to say that the walks in the city would have been even more clear of snow this winter if, after the very first snowfall there had been lists of those fined for not keep ing the snow off their walks, as long as those published recently. Such is the power Of publicity. Most every person would rather pay man to shovel his walk than to see his name in the paper among those who had neglected to attend to this matter Everyone prays that the snow will not trouble us much longer and that there will be no more fines But here is another thing to remember for use next winter. If it is necessary to fine people for not keeping their walks clear--and it seems to be necessary let the fines and the publicity come al the beginning of winter. Then sec how delightfully."- clean our walks will be kept.
 It is easy for the man who does not have to clear off his walk to tell the other fellow how negligent he has been. But it is also easy for the land- lord-whose duty it seems to be tc keep the walk clear-to tell the ten ant how slow he Is in the matter oi paving his rent. So it's fifty-ffty.

TO EVERY MAN

An appeal with punch is made by a representative of our army to every man, woman and child in New Brit ain to help him get men to bring that army, yours and ours. up to the strength considered absolutely neces- sary for defense of this country from within or from without. Every man, woman and child is interested, he insists, for his appeal is not to do something for the army, but rather to do something for the country, the people in it, by influence and acton.
 And Connecticut is the tail ender" in the matter of recruits for the army, according to this office, Col. Ode C. Nichols who has been in the service since 1898. Connecticut last among the state! Our state the most laggard in furnishing men to stand ready to defend our country if need comes!
 Consider this statement of Col. Nichols "The army has been cut by recent legislation to the very minl- mum; then, since that time, and due to natural causes, it has lost thou sands of it's personnel until now it is thousands of men short How easy it would be if each citizen who reads this would, within the week, speak to some young man and send him to our recruiting oAice!'
 Not long ago word came to this city that forty men must be secured with in a very short time for machine gun company. It was needed. The word came to New Britain. The men came forward as, it is to be hoped, men will come forward from New Britain always when such a call comes.
 We are confident that New Britain people, men, women and children, will cooperate with this representa- tive of the army and urge men to ioin the colors. We are confident that the men of this city will do their share to bring Connecticut oct of its ignominious position as the most backward of the states to offer to help defend the country from possible enemies.

THE OUTSIDERS VIEW

Trite and true is the outsider often sees most of the game" When state- ments are made concerning eondi- tions here in New Britain, they arc sometimes discounted unless they are opinions of people living right here, It is perfectly true that a person liV- ing here, familiar with conditions here is in a better position to find out "how things are" in this city in eer- tain particulars than is someone living at distance who relies upon reports,
 But the trouble Is that the honest opinion of person who has the time and ability to make survey Of conditions here Is seldom known. Those who do know just "how things are" here may bc influenced either not to make public their opinions, or to shade those opinions, unconscious ly perhaps, by their own interests.
 For that reason and because its iusIlitoa ID to HUN lnlO llt lhNls, lnt statements concerning conditions here coming from the T.. S. Employment serviceA department of labor, and re- ported by the Washington corres- pondent of The Herald, may be said to be impartial and thoroughly relia- blc. It is satisfactory, therefore, to note from his source. the information that all plants are operating either full time or overtime; that there is a shortage of female labor only; that the building program provides for a great number of workers and that the housing conditions are adequate.
 These statements may be taken as true. despite individual cases which seem to contradict them. A dozen men may dispute some of them, but they are only dozen and they, or some of them, may have reasons for so do- ing. The truth is that the city is pros- porous and busy and optimistic, as New Britain is normally. Carry on!

Chancellor Cuno of Germany has got around to the declaration that his country can't consider any arrange ment with France that doesn't con- template eventual evacuation" of the Ruhr.
 This is pretty elastic.
 If France can have the Ruhr to milk" indefinitely, sooner or later she ought to be able to get her repar- ations out of the region. and if re- covering the district eventually" is good enough for Germany, it doesn't seem as if there can be any reason. so far as the Germans are concerned,
New Britain herald., 1923-03-14

why France shouldn't do this,
 After all. the two countries may not need outside mediation. Maybe they'll fix matters up between themselves.
 A good many people are likely to come to the conclusion that the French and German iron and steel magnatcs have come to an agreement. which. the dispute having been pri- marily between them all the time. as it's widely suspected, probably is all there is to it.
 or course there are Iron and steel magnates ip other countries who may not be suited, however. If so, they'll be heard from later.

WHAT WILL MAC WEAR?

The name of J. Ramsay MacDon- aid. Parliamentary leader of the Eng fish Labor Party, is not mentioned among those present at Lord Astor's. Macdonald has the reputation of beiIfs very hard-boiled. Perhaps he baked at short pants. It seems as if there must have been some such hitch else how does it happen that he was overlooked when such lesser lights as Clynes, Thomas and Snow den were not?
 But the dispatches say Macdonald has an invitation from the king him. self to chow at Buckingham Palace, March 15. The question is, will he go in short pants?
