The legislature just closed has en-
acted some good laws, turned down
a few that might have been good, and
turned down many that were unnec-
essarv or "freakish" The act to
restore capital punishment in Maine
went to an early death. So, too, did
the bill to provide for compulsory
voting. The proposed Bath bridge
across the Kennebec will go to
the people, on the proposal for a
100000 bond issue. The bill to
repeal the direct primary and re-
store the old convention system was
also killed, and the question OF pri-
mary or no primary will go to the
people on the initiative petition, UNI
incumbered. The killing of the anti
primary bill by the legislature, how
ever, shows which way the wind
blows. The voters of Maine will re-
tain the primary unless the polite
ians can Jockey them out of it. The
bill killed in the legislature was
Jockey" bill-an attempt to confuse
the issue by giving the voters two
ways 10 vote on the same question.
oh, those fellows trying to kill the
primary are siNeWd ones; don't let
them fool you. Incidentally, the pri-
mary has been strengthened by an act
to require enrolment in all towns,
large and small six months before
primary. The present law provides
for enrolment in only the larger
towns, which was one of the serious
defects in the law. Daylight saving
is another issue that was given the
quietus by the legislature. The city
of Portland was practically alone in
she fight for daylight saving; the
oranges, the Farm Bureaus, the rail
roads, and other organizations, were
against it. The result was inevitable
After July 10 next, daylight-saving
time will be Illegal in Maine.

The Maine legislature adjourned
sine die last Saturday, after hectic
day, with the first and only veto mes
sage of the session before it, and an
eye on the governors door expecting
another to emerge any minute. The
veto message came on the bill to re-
lieve the railroads of an excise tax,
which would have meant an addition
al half mill on the State tax to make
up for the lost revenue. The fear
was over the Quoddy bay power pro-
ject, but this bill, with amendments
10 make it satisfactory to the COVER
nor, finally got the official signature.
The principal change is in adding
referendum class to the bill, so that
it will go before the people for final
action. It also provides that the
owners of the power plant, if it is
built. can make no contracts without
jurisdiction of the public utilities
commission.

The purpose Of Count Skrzynski's

Stitute Count Skrzynski dwelt on the
security pact which is now being nego-
iiated between Great Britain, France
and Belgium and Germany. In the
draft of this pact, which is considered
almost fait accompli, mention Of the
security of Poland's western frontiers
and its corridor to the sea. running
through Germany, is omitted. Count
Skrzynski. while stating that Poland
was in favor of the security past,
declared that Poland would support the
full provisions of the Treaty of Yer
Salles in the delimtation of the Polish
borders.
Poland is seeking to preserve
peace with all its neighbors, but until
The nation feels secure it will not think
of reducing its armaments," he de

of the agreement, and If so why wer,
these concessions issued as govcrnmen
ordiances and not us legislation whicl
would insure their permanency?
The questions dealt with by III,
government ordinances are basically
within the rights guaranteed in tn,
constitution to all citizens of the Polisl
Republic. No special legislation is nee
cssary. Until now any government
which was in power could, as long Il,
no change in the law was made, inter
pret the law in its own way. A few
points which affect the economic statu,
of the Jewish population may be oh
iects Of legislation at later time
What was necessary was TO give tn,
lead. The government gave the lead Il
the agreement and its further develop
mcnt is. of course, a matter Of time ant
gradual adjustment based ON better
understanding between the Jews ant
the Poles which requires n psycholog
icnl change
Did the government, when it con

the Polish parties represented in the
Sejm? Has your government perma,

Lament?
80 far rs the present government is
concerned 1t has the largest support
that any government had. The mere
fact that it is in existence for two
years when, during the last seven years
ten governments have changed, proves
its stability"
Is it true that the parliamentary club
of the National Democratic Party has
passed n resolution stating that the
negotiations between the government
and the Club of Jewish Deputies took
place on the governments own rcspon-
win steps be taken that the anti
Semitic press cease its fierce propa-
gauda, which, in the opinion of many,
was mainly responsible for the eondi-
t.cns created for the Jews In Poland?
Here | must again refer to the Min
ister of Education, who is himself an
owner Of several national dailies. |
cannot imagine that the Minister of

1f the National Democratic camp would
be- criticised by his own press"
How would you explain the fact
that the agreement was concluded at
time when the Jewish leaders from
