WAR DEBTS AND HEART DEBTS
Are We Nation of Skiniiints ?'
 Asks MT Bowen

The following communication from Hon Herbert W Bowen of Woodstock appeared on the editorial page of the New York Herald Tribune. Wed nesday
 To the New York Herald Tribune
 IT We regard Che war debts to Us of our late allies from q purely legal point of view we may maintain very logically that they were fairly ad- ustei and that they should be paid.
 But Is that che true view to tak'. ot them?
 When we entered the war did we consider them simply business trans actions. or did we believe them to be measures necessary Co be taken to sustain our allies m their desperate effort to achieve with Us a decisive victory over one common enemy
 We're We only creditors fighting at l5- side of debtors
 Is it not a fact that We would have been unable Co face our enemies if we had not received the support of Great Britain on the sea and if we had not been accorded the privilege by the French of landing our troops on their soil and of making use of their cannon and their airplanes?

 Important Measure
 Congressman Fenn has introduced an important measure. calling for re- app0rtionment of the membership of the House No such bill has passed Congress since the bill based on the 1910 census. albeit the constitution calls for a reapportionment after ey- cry ten-year federal census. The Fem bill would keep the House to it's present size of 435, and the measure would be based on the coming 1880 census, taking effect on the House elected in l932. Under it's provisions Connecticut stands a good chance Of getting an additional congressman. This assumption is based on the fact that if the reapportionment were done under the present. 1920, census, the Nutmeg State would gam d represent ative
 The nomination by President Cool idge of Archibald Macdonald tO be postmaster at Putnam probably will be confirmed by the Senate In few days. Several thousand nominations have been sent in since Congress met Monday and it may take a little more time than usual to get them all con- llrmed. Bul the Putnam nomination, ia all probability. will meet no appesl- ui0u. aHd will go through as a matter of routine, as all the gest generally do.
 The coming consideration bY the Senate of the rivers and harbors pill has Connecticut interest. Among oth- er projects, that of improving the Thames river, which Congressman Freeman did much to get put in the bill, Is included.

 Surely in those days of desolatlon. death and despair we were something more chan creditors. and our allies were something more than debtors W were al brothers n arms and aims Side by side We fought. and the victory We won Was theirs and Oufs in common.

 The natural thing for Us Co nave done would have been to wipe out all of their indebtedness to us without conditions. and thus to have brought happiness and hope to every one of their anxious homes
