CONNECTICUT CARS INJURE 32,O00 AND
 CAUSE 328 DEATHS
(Continued from First Page)

which means that about 2,S2S.000 figure in automobile accidents each year. Of this number about roo, ,000 suffer injuries more or less serious in nature.
 Ii it should be said that automo- bile fatalities reached their peak in 1926, the last full year on which sta tistics are availa ble, it is safe to es- innate that in the next 20 years should the motor death rate con- tinue unchanged in that period. that motor fatalities in the next score of years in the United States will be in excess of 10000 which is nearly uation of Bridgeport. Hartford, Meriden and New Britain.
 Auto Kill 165.0OO In All
 In the last 20 years, starting with l9a6. in which only 4l2 were killed, l65.000 persons have been killed in automobile accidents in the United States, which is more than the losses of the United States armed forces in the world war from wounds, dis cases and all other causes.
 Many persons are being killed in automobile accidents in rural dis tricts of the state, just as they are in cities, where conditions are more dangerous but where drivers use more care. Statistics prepared by the national safety council for 1926 show that l9 persons were killed in mo- tor accidents in Bridgeport and 10 outside the city limits: A in Hart ford and % outside. and 23 in New Haven and q outside.
 An investigation of motor vehicle rates by the national safety council reveals that the rate has increased about the same way for larger cities as for smaller cities and that the density of population apparently does not affect the motor vehicle death rate.

PRESIDENT Calvin Coolidge, in his
L message to the SEVENTEEN congress
did not even mention the principal
issue that was fought out at the sixty
ninth congress--the adherence of the
United States government to the per-
manent court of international justice
Less than two short years ago the old
guard of the Coolidge administration
rode rough-shod over the opposition
in the senate during one Of the storm
lest sessions that history records.
Party lines were broken ands 4 COM
bination of Wall Street democrats and
republicans arbitrarily shut oft de-
bate when they could no longer reply
to the critics of the Coolidge policy
and jammed the proposal to enter the
world court down the Threats Of the
opposition led by the republican chair
man of the senate foreign relations
committee, William f. Borah of Ida
no, and the democratic insurgent, jim
Reed of Missouri.
Never was there a more determined
campaign than that waged to place
this country in the world court. The
democratic majority that had been the
principal support of Wilson's war on
behalf of the investments of the
House of Morgan and who supported
the league of nations program were
a unit for the world court, which they
considered the first step on the
threshold of the league of nations
The old guard of the republican par
ty, since 1928, had been pledged to the
world court.
Under the guise of pacifisfh, con-
cealing the malevolent designs of the
imperialist plunderers under the most
exalted phrases, the political spokes-
men of the great powers of Europe
had used the world court to throw the
mantle of legality over their plumber,
ing expeditions against the colonials
and semi-colonials. Not only was the
court the legal apologist for the
league of nations, but there were un
mistakable indications that powerful
European nations were striving to use
it as rallying point for resistance
to American Imperialism.
The imperialists of the United
States wanted this country to entel
the world court in order to be in /;
position to wage fight to wrest con
troll of it's machinery from the hands
of European nations and secure TO
itself complete domination thereof.
At first inclined to look with favo
upon American adherence to tn,
world court, the debates on the floo
of the senate revealed the real mo
tive of the United States, and whel
the question of admitting the Unite'
States to the court came before a spe
cial commission of the league of ma

tions it was turned down on the
grounds that the reservations at
tached to the senate resolution by the
irreconcilables led by Borah and Reed
were unacceptable.
So, the victory that was denied the
opposition here when the Wall Street
coalition of republican and democratic
old guard shut off debate and forced
through it's resolution of adherence to
the court, was given them by the
European imperialists who feared
American domination of the court,
which is the legal instrument of the
league of nations. So the Coolidge
government was forced to abandon its
designs upon the world court, which
it hoped to use as an instrument of
conquest and vengeance. That part
Of the peace offensive of American
imperialism is evidently forgotten. At
least the administration is so anxious
TO forget it that the presidential mes
sage did not even mention the league
or the world court-in fact in the
section on foreign relations did not
even mention Europe. That section
of the message was confined to China
and Nicaragua, scenes of the most re-
cent exhibitions of American imper-
ialist frightfulness. With the most
arrogant cynicism Coolidge declared
that the naval and marine forces were
| in China to protect the lives and
property of our citizens" and added
that their simple presence, there has
been sufficient to prevent any ma.
terial loss of life" Similar condi-
lions son a small scale in Nicaragua
also confronted the benevolent anG
pacifist government of the United
States. If the Smelling of Marking
and the ravaging of Nicaragua by
American armed forces are trivia
things from the Coolidge viewpoint
it would evidently require the exter-
mination of nations and mountains Of
corpses to reach the proportions nee.
essary to evoke serious notice from
the Wall Street government at Wash
ington.
In only one place is European
nation mentioned and that is under
the heading of national defense where
Coolidge places the blame on Great
Britain for the failure of the recent
