A JUDGES QUALIFICATIONS

The discussion published in this newspaper yesterday taken from the Waterbury Republican, stating that Judge Klett of this city might possibly be placed upon the bench of the Su- perior Court to fill one of the places now open, or shortly to be open is in- teresting in its comment upon why certain men are being considered.
 Personal affiliations. party regular ity. friendship, services rendered the Republican party or some member of it--all these and more are mentioned in detail and comprehensively dis cussed. But it is rather interesting fact that this discussion--and if is undoubtedly a valuable contribution to the literature of political gossip of the state-does not seem to take into account the qualifications a man should have for the high position of judge of the Superior court. No veil ed insinuations are hereby cast upon any of the worthy persons mention ed-that it quite another matter matter again" It seems to make no difference in the discussions, at least, whether the gentlemen in question are possessed of sound legal acumen, free from prejudice which clouds the mind or at least inclines it in some one direction habitually, or, to put it in the old, familiar way, are 'learned in the law
 We hesitate to suggest innovations, but it does seem that there would be considerable interest among lawyers at least, in discussion of the legal abilities and previous training of the persons under discussion. Not, of course, that such discussion would do any good or change the plans of the machine" in any particular. But it might help lawyers of the state to work with more knowledge of their, duties to law or the party

BURMA'S WEALTH OF OIL

Just as he was leaving the cabinet ex-Secretary of the Interior Fall charged that conspiracy, including interests in every important country but this one, exists to gobble up the whole worlds oil supply, exhaust Am erica's, and then lay the United States under tribute for every gallon she has to have in future.
 Now, only few days later, comes England's announcement that her government was mistaken awhile ago when it declared everybody but Brit ons barred from looking for oil in Burma, which is supposed to be very rich in such deposits.
 It seems England laid claim to a Burma monopoly under an arrange ment said to have been made by Queen Victoria and Lord Salisbury, in the days when he was her prime minister. But the latest statement is to the effect that the queens and his lordship's signatures to the papers this claim was based on, are found to be bogus. So if Americans want to hunt oil in Burma. they're welcome to, so far as England's concerned.
 In some quarters there's a disposi- ton to question whether this discov- cry ever would have been made but for Secretary Falls accusation.

OUTSIDE HELP ISN'T
 WANTED

The view expressed by the French newspapers is that their country bore the brunt of the war, won it and then other countries that took part in the peace negotiations euchred her out of a lot of the advantages she'd have claimed if she'd made her own terms with Germany.
 The press is fearful now, France having shouldered all the expense and trouble and taken all the risks of the Ruhr occupation, that outsiders will try again to prevent her from getting the full benefit of that. too.
 This, some of the papers say quite frankly, is why the French are so suspicious of mediation. They have an idea the mediators will think more about their own interests than they will about Frances.
 They mention this as the main req son why a settlements delayed.

PERVERSE RUSSIA

Just at time when Russia is
 clamorng for recognation by more sound thinking nations of the world | she gives way to brutal snarling and,
 in her anger induced by the protests of the world, executes Vicar General Butchkavitch, of'the Roman Catholic lay in Russia. A correspondent who heard the testimony at the prelae's trial for high treason states that "In no other country in the world could such charge be based upon these documents"-the documents read at the trial and upon which he was con victed.
 The action is declared to be politi- cal, not religious, but if political it has the political significance of emphasiz- ing the Soviet's determination to rid the country of the church. The Rus sians throw warlike words at Poland, knowing Poland does not want to, nor is she in a position to fight. The Russians use this means of reaffirming their stand that they will not be in- terfered with. And meanwhile the Russian people continue to hold re- ligious faith and the world looks on in horror at the governments action.
 It Is never safe to predict what the result of such action will be, but at least we may say for this country that the execution of this man upon evil dence that did not warrant belief that he conspired against the Soviet gov ernment, will swing public feeling more strongly toward the side Of those who have maintained and who still maintain that no action of the Russian government, as distinguished from the feeling of the people. justi- fies any concern that the United States still refuses to recognize that govern ment. Another deplorable event has brought another cloud over the hope for universal understanding and uni versal peace.

That France will fail to overcome Germany resistance to her Ruhr plans is Il thing the Paris government isn't afraid of a bit, according to Gallic spokesmcn.
 It's acknowledged that the French aren't getting as much coal as before they entered the Ruhr. It isn't dis puted that the invasion has been ex- pensive. It's conceded that the gov ernment has had to overcome consid erable opposition at home.
 All that doesn't bother them. the French leaders say. They declare Germany has suffered so much more acutely than France that even now she's on the verge of yielding. When she does so the French expect to get back all they put Into the enterprise and more too.
 That is to say, that's what they ex- pect. provided they're left to affect their own settlement with the Ger mans. What they fear is that some- body'll try to butt in.'
 At any rate, so the Paris press says.

For perhaps the most pungent criti. cism ever published of this 3ounsry's methods in South America, the medal goes to Vice. President H. c. Zwetsch of the bond house of A. B. Leach 6e Co.,, who, just back from a tour of Argentina, Brazil, Chile. Uruguay, Paraguay, Bolivia,. Peru and Ecuador, gave out an interview in which, among other things, he said:

NO AMERICAN LEAGUE

North Americans at the Pan Am erican conference at Santiago, Chile, made a good start by opposing Tru- guay's proposed league of American nations.
 There wasn't chance of the schemes indorsement by the more important South American countries and before any of them except Chile had had time to say so, Chairman Fletcher of the North American group declared his country unfavorable to leagues, thus forestalling, at least on one ground, the frequently made South American complaint that the United States seeks to dominate the New World.
 Pan American arms limitation looks difficult. ... .......
 Chile wants reduction. Argentina the status quo, Brazil army and navy increases. These are the three big Latin American countries--the "A. E. c. group. If they can't agree, the rest can't.
 The United States. having loaned experts to build up Brazil's navy, isn't in q position to urge limitation.

FRESH TURKISH TANGLE

There are prospects of another oil controversy in Asiatic Turkey. | In 1909 an American syndicate, headed by Colby M. Chester, retired admiral, got a concession from the then sultan covering what's supposed 10 be a very rich oil district around Lake Van.
 Before this syndicate got to work the war started. Nothing could be done while it lasted. Then the old imperial Turkish government was |overthrown. The new regime repudi- |ated good many of the old ones acts. but the news comes now that the Angora council of ministers has decid- cd the Chester concession is all right The Turkish parliament seems likely to concur.
 The British thought they had an oil monopoly in Asiatic Turkey and they're almost certain to be more than disappointed if they learn they haven't. In this dispute with the Brit ish it's a good guess that Americans will take the Turkish side.

they have In Connecticut.
 It is interesting, therefore, to note that the deaths from railroad aeei- dents in Connecticut were eleven less in number in 1929 than in 1921, and theh were but three more people in- Iured, The significance of this condi- ton Is seen when there cones from Washington the news that for the whole United States there was an in- crease in the number of such deaths Of ~ per cent over 1921 and an in- crease Of nearly II per cent in the number injured,
 The value of such campaigns there fore, is evident, In the case Of our own state it is clear they have taken us out of the class of states in which more lives were lost. and placed us among the few where fatal accidents were less numerous.
 If this can be accomplished by the railroads which have q special, prac- tical reason for trying to cut down the number of fatalities, certainly a like improvement may be made If at- tention is paid to the educational campaigns conducted by the state conducted, in other words, by all the people-to make walking and driving on the highways more safe. Full ap- preciation of the dangers of life pro- tects life. These campaigns try to emphasize those dangers and educate people how to reduce them to mini mum.

A LEAGUE OF NATIONS

Lord Robert Cecil an dealist comes to this country not as a pugna- cious person demanding that the United States do something to prevent future wars, but as one who would seek our reasons for refusing to dc the only thing thus far conceived that will at least tend to prevent them. If we have good and sufficient reasons; if we have some plan to offer better than league of nations bound to- gethel by determination to end all wars, he wants to know of it so that he can throw all his strength to it's support. But if we have noThing bet ter to offer, and if we realize as all intelligent people must realize that a continuation of wars will wipe out our civilization eventually, he would like the chance to hear and answer, If he can. our objection to joining the one great body where all nations may meet and take steps toward the ban ishing of war from the face of the earth.
 In referring to the older civiliza- tions he cites the perishing of that of Rome and says:
 Rome perished because the nations and sections which dwelt in the em- pire were unable to refrain from fighting one another and Western civilization will assuredly come to that end if we continue to rely on arma- ments as the ultimate arbiters of our disputes. Armaments must be reduced If civilization is to survive, for as long 0s nations stand armed to tho teeth, peace-permanen peace--is an idle dream"
 His emphasizing the similarity be- tween nations rotting because of wars and armaments and the ruined drug addict presents the picture forcibly. Proudly, yet acknowledging freely all Anlerfcan nhS uOhe TOT Europe, ne says he does not come to ask dollar to help Europe; he comes to tell us what the league is and to ask our ad- vice as to what it should do, what it should be. And then, after speaking of Americas feeling that she was compelled to enter the war in 1917, he pays us the greatest of all compli rhents in the words: Docs anyone in this great audience doubt that if the same circumstances arose as in 1917 American would take the same action she took then? Will anyone say that if another great European war took place involving, as wars always do, great interests of right and wrong, that 1t would be possible in the future l any more than in the past for Amer lea to stand outside and take no part?" And, then, leaving the ideal conception of this country which evidently Is his, with his admiration | for what we have done and what we would do under similar circumstances tr case of right and wrong. touches
