THE SWEDISH WEEKLY

The Eastern Herald was we'll edited and printed and yielded | considerable influence among resi- dents of Swedish extraction in this city. For some years 1t was printed on the press of the New Britain Herald. this method being pursued until the Swedish publication pro- cured its own press.
 Sale of the publication to Chi cago Swedish publication firm evil dently means that local subscribers will be served from that city. The change therefore is in the form of merger. The good will of local Swedish subscribers will go to the new firm which will serve them. There remain a plenitude of old time swedes" in the city who relish reading in their mother tongue, even if they were no longer sufficient in numbers to justify the continuance of the publication in New Britain.

IMPROVEMENTS IN OUR
 PARK SYSTEM

Yesterday was day when citizens those that did not insist on taking an automobile ride to distant points-had splendid opportunity to renew acquaintances with the local park system. They will have noted that the improvements under way are considerable. Never in the history of the city's parks has there been so much Identification accom- plished so early in the season nor has there ever been a time when more is under way and contemplat- ed.
 Walnut Hill park, with it's great monument as an attraction for all city visitors. is being made into one of the most beautiful spots in the state. Perhaps it already qualities in this connection; certainly. when olic COIolueIs us commanding height. the massive shaft and artis- lie surroundings at its apex, and the efforts under way and projected to intensity its beauty there is scarce ly another public playground in all Of Connecticut that can compare with it in impressiveness and that grandeur which all but takes the breath from a person seeing it for the first time. Visitors to the city are outspoken in their admiration: those who live here and have occa- sion to see the manifested beauties more regularly are naturally in- clined to permit its artistic values to be taken for granted
 Citizens who have had occasion to inspect the result of the new dis pensation in Walnut Hill park will

THE BRITISH ELECTION

The victory of Ramsey McDon- ald and his Labor party in the Brit ish elections seems to have been more pronounced than anyone ex- pectsd. even MT. Mcdonald him. self. Although there was q general belief that the Conservative party under Premier Baldwin had become unpopular. the extent of its un- popularity remained to be saused by the election returns. As surpris- ing as the outstanding victory of the Labor party and the squelching of the Conservatives is the poor show ing made by Mr. Lloyd Georges re- vived Liberal party. It is evident that the electorate regarded the roseate promises of Mir. Lloyd George regarding what he would do if given the chance as being merely some of those nice things politicians say before an election.
 The figures this morning, when this was written. showed Labor as having . clear majority over the other two parties: but all the con- stituencies had not been heard from. % that it is problematical whether Labor would hold this astonishing advantage to the end. At any rate the results will be an amazing vic- tory for the Labor party so capa bly led by the former premier.
 Britain has been in the throes of general dissatisfaction with the Conservative government. which it . said has misrepresented the popu- lar wishes in international affairs while being stand patters at home N failed to solve anything of con- sequence at home-except to succeed in suppressing the general strike and the Britishers, including 5,oo0.- 900 additional women's votes. evil dently simply concluded the Labor party is more representative of their views. The main issue was economic -unemployment- the verdict of the electors seems to be ,.-at the Conservatives didn't dC anything about the situation.

THE BLUE SKY LAW

The so-called blue sky law ha, not been on the books long before action is taken under it. We are not disposed to weigh the evidence so far presented in the public prints connning ourselves to the aspect of the case which seeks to prevent the public from being defrauded.
 For years it was current opinion in Connecticut that states which had adopted blue sky laws had gone too far. This was a law in which Con- necticut did not care to be a lead CT. But the state was driven to adopt one: and though it differs in few particulars from the crop of such laws in various other states, it's object is about the same.
 Connecticvt adopted its blue sky laws. in spite of objections from various influential sources, after various citizens had been bitten by financial concerns and promoters, not only recently. but during dec- ades past. Now the state is discov- ering that the law is not to be in the dead timber class.
 Which sounds like . certain de- gree of progress. We are now in- clined to protect the public when it seems necessary; we have discov- cred. it seems, that it is worth while to regulate more than traffic.

BOTHERING LINDBERGH

When a man and woman, newly married, are on their honeymoon it is no time to bother them. Colonel Lindbergh and his bride, after hav- ing given prying eyes the slip at their wedding ceremony. and flying away in like manner, are entitled to peace and comfort. Efforts have been made to locate" them; but some how we personally are not greatly interested. If the public has such morbid curiosity about a private epoch in the life of the flyer we wonder how it got that way. We continue to hope that Lindy gives all anxious inquirers just about what we would have done under the circum- stances.
