Tho death Of John r. Meehan this wrek marked the passing Of q busi- ness man who succeeded in spite or, rather than because of. modern busi- ness methods. He cared little for scientific principles, as they are pro- pounded by experts of commerce to- day. but conducted his business as he conducted his personal life. basing it on confidence in mankind and belief in the old copy-book saying Honesty is the best policy" Since his demise. tho expression most frequently heard is john was as honest as the day is iong' and those who have been in- tmate with him can touch for the truth of this statement. He never took advantage of a man or woman in business transaction. being satis- fed 10 gain what was honest gain and no more.
 In the 3s years Of his business ex- perience he made many friends and retained their friendship. He was a pleasant man 10 meet. diversity never failed to dim his smile and the storms of life passed over his head uithout leaving their impress on his disposition. To the last lie retained his sunny manner although ill health had caused him great pain during inc past year.

As all tho boys on the staff call each other by their first names it would not be mdnly familiar to ex- tend our congratulations to Jim" shepard, the dean of writers in New Britain whose articles have appeared for the past 40 years in the New Britain Herald. Out hats are off to Jim" on the occasion of his seth birthday which occurred yesterday.
 New Britain has had few more prolific and versatile writer's. Prose O. poetry are all grist to his mill. His humorous poems built on names found in the Bible have been pro- ductive of widespread amusement and his more serious works built upon re- iearch into musty historical docu- nIits have been interesting and in- struciitt. llc has the happy faculty af taking one Of those musty docu- maDt, putting it in one of his foun- tnin pen and letting il run out tho oiher end in new dress embroid- e-4l with fresh thought so that it holds attention fo the last word.
 "Jim" shepard's mind is crammed with useful information. He has trav- sted far and his eyes have seen and his trrs have heard. He has an un- usually retentlve memory which re- calls in detail facts that have come to him from the four points of the compass over long and useful career.
 Although not as lively as several years ago. his mind is alert and he has kept a fresh outlook on life so that for him years have meant sim- 1y the passing Of time and not ad- Nancing age.

BALDWIN WILL NOT HAMPER MACDONALD
Conservatives Do Not Want to EnlbarraSS New Government
By The Associated Press.

By The Associated Press.
 London, Feb. 13.-Former Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin indicated to- day that the conservative opposition was unlikely to take any action that would hamper the Macdonald cabinet in negotiating with Franve.
 Mir. Baldwin, as leader of the oppo- sition, opening the debate in the house of Commons today on the pronounce ment of policy which Prime Minister Macdonald made yesterday, said he gathered from the premier's state- ment that Great Britain was in pro- cess of either negotiating or entering into fresh negotiations with France.
 And at time like this" he added, mo opposition will willingly raise any question that might make the duty of the government more difficult"
 Former Premier Asquith, following MT. Baldwin, referred to the latitude the government had given the guar dians of the Poplar district of Lon don in distributing relief to the un- employed, and said he wished to say in the most unequipecal terms that unless the government could see its way to reconsider the action of the ministry of health in this district there was not the least chance of that administrative act receiving the countenance or approval of the house.
 The government is examining the case for the Singapore base before announcing any decision as to wheth- this big naval work in the Far East ,,-.f l.. was stated by Charles G. Ammon, parliamentary under-secretary for the admiralty in the house,
 He said instructions had been is sued not To infer further comments.
 Those responsible for the present government" he continued, have al- ways taken the view that no adequate reason has been shown for the very large expenditure proposed by the late government at Singapore"
