COMING SANTIAGO
MEETING

Some newspapers seem to consider
the peace pact Washington has just
induced the Central American Repub-
lies to enter into as happy augury
for the Pan-American Congress.
This is a mistake.
The South and Central Americans
are not alike at all. The former, who
are mainly Spanish. Italian and Portu-
guese, regard the latter as not much
better than ignorant Indians. They
even resent the agreements they make
among themselves under North Ameri-
can auspices, so that. II anything, they
hurt rather than help.
The midget South American repub-
lie Of Uruguay does, indeed, favor a
League of American Nations, and she
favors it, too, because she believes, by
doing so, she's pleasing the United
States. But her reason is that she
wants North American backing In a

birth CONTROL IS
OPPOSED BY BISHOP
Mrs. Sanger However, Champions
Measure in Hartford

Hartford, Feb. 14.--Outstandins
among the legislative hearings at the
capitol yesterday afternoon was that
! before the Judiciary committee or
| the bill Of the recently formed Brit,
Control league In this state. In ex-
pectntion OF the appearance of Mrs
Margaret Sanger, widely known
worker In the birth control move
ment men and women crowded the
old senate chamber throughout the
afternoon.
The bill seeks to repeal laws In
force In Connecticut for more than
half century and supply new laws
by which physicians and nurses
might disseminate scientific infor-
nation" concerning birth control.
Other portions of the present laws
bearing upon certain forms Of inter-
ference with maternity would be left
unchanged.
Is First of Its Kind.
So far as records available show,
no such bill has ever before been
presented to Connecticut legisla-
ture. The interest throughout the
hearing was keen and both propo-
nents and opponents of the bill were
repeatedly applauded. The bill was
in charge of Mrs. Annie G.. Porritt
of Hartford well known for her
work in behalf of equal suffrage for
many years.
The leagues point of view was pre-
sented by II. i. Fletcher of Enfield,
who showed how the present laws
would be altered should the bill be
enacted. He said, that it had been
limited to him that the league had
acted prematurcly in offering the bill,
but he was sure that this was not so
because of the interest shown in the
hearing. He said he emphasized the
point that the league did not repre-
sent patent medicine makers or
"quack doctors.
Doctors Not There
Mrs. Porritt called the names Of
three doctors to speak for the bill, but
none responded, although later in the
afternoon one physician spoke in be-
half OF the general principle of birth
saying, however, he was not
sure that he favored the bill in its
present form. Mrs. Porritt said the
bill added no burden to the state. but
instead might relieve it of much ex-
pense by decreasing the number OF
in county homes.
What the league advocated, she
said, was that persons not equal to
he responsibility Of parcntage should
De able to obtain scientific knowledge
which would enable them to avoid 1t.
she said that Connecticut was unique
n having laws which made the Civ
ng OF this information crime.
Butler In Favor.
Robert p. Butler. OF Hartford, ia
.ored the bill, saying that in every
,hase OF nature scientific reproduc-
ion of creatures had produced the
,est specimens. He said that Connec-
lieut. ought to be in position TO say
hat it was not crime to improve
he human race.
Mrs. Sanger then addressed the
ommittee, speaking not on the bill
recifically, but on the general sub
ret of birth control and what was
ought through legislation. She de-
cribed clinics in Holland and gave
pinions and statistics from British 8
MEDICAL authorities. She argued {
hat clinics should be maintained in J
his country 50 that women might
btain needed information about the '
of marriage, and that :

WHO AND WHY:

Politicians can not be blamed
since they are politicians, for want
ing TO do something in the coal crisis
at last The people have wondered
why something was not done; the
people would be asking disagreeablc
questions about il II something were
not done. So. when winter Is nearly
over, a fuel bill was passed. That is
all plain enough,
But the question comes up as TO
why fuel bill was passed which. ex-
cept In a few instances. took the man.
agement OF the complicated fuel af-
fairs out OF the hands OF fuel adj
ministrators who had learned good
deal about the business by this time.
and put in the hands OF fire marshals
and the superintendent Of the State
police? Fire marshals are all right.
OF course Here in New Britain Chief
Noble is fire marshal by virtue of his
office, with Deputy Fire Chief Eugene
i. Barnes assisting in the fire mar
shars duties. And in Waterbury, Gov.
Templeton'a home, Fire Marsha
Frank Holland is efficient, as other
fire marshals in other cities may be
efficient But why in the world
should they be called in at this late
hour? If fuel administrators needed
more power to stop profiteering. GER
tainly they might be given that power
IL they did not already possess it.
But why the giving of all this power
to the Superintendent of the State Po-
lice? And why. if change were to
be made now that spring is not far
off, were not practical coal men
called in? The most interesting ques-
ton at the moment, politically speak,
ing, is why was just this kind of a
change made and who inspired it?
In solving a mystery it is we'll to
search and see who would profit by |
the mysterious event. The passage of
this sort of bill is the mysterious
event. Who profits by it? Broadly
speaking all politicians gain some
credit for doing something in the
premises. Governor Templeton gains
credit for advocating some action. But
it would seem. at the moment, that
the person most thoroughly in the
limeight is he who issues orders to
have daily reports of the coal stua-
ton made, the person who will cause
the arrest OF profiteers, the person.
in other words, who becomes active
head Of fuel ctivities--Superinten
dent of State Police Robert 7. Hurley.
AS for the merits of putting local
fuel administrators out and substitute
ing fire marshals for them, there is
evidence of the impracticability of the
plan already. Although up to yester-
day afternoon Fire Chief Noble had
not been officially informed of the
emergency anu lllt uNNoifih6 |
upon him or his deputy, Eugene +.
Barnes, he has made it plain that he
can not afford the time necessary to
perform the additional
duties of fuel administrator. The
same position has been taken in Hart ,
ford and the more thoroughly the law
is examined the more clearly it ap-
pears that If it was seriously intended /:
as a means of relieving the situation {
It is a sadly improper bit of legisla- {
ton; IL it was not inspired by honest {
wish to accomplish something, its ,
as a mere gesture is plain /
