AN INOFFICIAL ALLIANCE

The sensational disclosures made in French and German papers re- garding secret conversations looking to the formation of a Franco-Ger- man military and political alliance, really important.
 In the first place. it is only the Nationalists in both countries who have been identified with these secret conversations. Although inn portant generals and military men on both sides Of the Rhine are said to have participated, 1t must not be overlooked that the Natonalists in Germany are more of a trouble making party to the republican form of government than a party Of actual strength. Whenever there is political showdown at the polls the Nationalists are far from the top.
 It is significant that the first cx- posture of the plan for an alliance came from the German Peoples Party press service, which is regard ed as the mouthpiece Of Foreign Minister Stresemann. It was the for eign minister's way of putting the skids under the pretensiCns of the Nationalists. If there is to be an al lianCe with France Strescmann in tends to have a hand in it.

SEES HATE IN POND STAND

Editor New Britain Herald:
 Having read so many times ar tlcles of Swanson's pond and know ing the pond so we'll l wish to make q few true statements:
 In your newspaper under date of Sept. 20. 1929. l read that the Swan sons pond is not fiji for a swimming pool on account of the presence of bacteria there.
 Believe it or not but behind this announcement is hidden political hatred towards the fifth ward. or the Polish voters especially.

When our honorable Mayor Paonessa nov ed q committee of five members sc- lccted from the common council to ind a site in the fifth ward suit able for a swimming pool, our fam uuS park commission working in conjunction with said committee, had always d deaf ear when the committee spoke favorably of Swan sons pond.

ponderancc of sentiment against the promotion of cigarette smoking.
 The promotion, of course, Is done by the cigarette manufacturers, who as result of their efforts have seen cigarette smokers multiply by the millions, until now even the women, or some of them, have become ad- diets.
 The gentlemen mentioned are being ably assisted in their war against the promotion of cigarettes by Dr. Harvey w, Wiley. pr. William G. Lennox of Harvard, Senator Reed Smoot of Utah, Dr. Daniel A. Polling. and numerous powerful organiza- tions.
 But the Methodist Church South is not in this campaign. The south crn wing of the church does not seem inclined to oppose a leading in dustry. James B. Duke. known in the South as the Cigarette King, was a good Methodist and left s5O.000,000 to the southern Methodist church for a university-Duke University and the Duke Foundation. Much money from this foundation goes to the benefit of superannuated Metho- dist ministers Of the southern wing of the church. The southern Metho- dists are not going to throw bricks at a goose laying so many golden eggs.
