Statistics Disprove
There Is Profit i'm War

From the Albany Evening News.
There is no profit in war. No ma
ton gains financially by war. The re-
ports, which were In substance charges,
that the United States gained in wealth
and in trade because of the World War
have been disproved by figures. These
have been set forth by E. Dana Durand
OF the Federal Department of Com
merce. He showed that no one nation
gained in money by that war.
1t has been said that American trade
increased after the World War. Mr..
Durand shows that while this is true u
did not increase in any such great
ratio as 1t was increasing before the
war. He shows clearly also that while
this country holds far higher position
financially than prior to the war, that
is accounted for in the fact that dur
ing the years of war progress in the
countries engaged in war was held back
and they suffered tremendously from
the setback of the tremendous expenses
Of the long struggle.
No nation gained by war. All ma
tons are still paying the cost of war
and the cost of living scared and the
struggle for living has been even greater
than it was in pre-war days.
America is paying heavily for the war
and for preparedness against war. In
10 months the cost of the Veterans BIZ
reau has been SEAS. 900 900. and interest
on the public debt, mostly war debt,
was 1851, 100000 and the debt sinkihC
fund was 1868, 000,00 Total expendi-
lures of the Government in these 10
months we're $4,000, 721 900, and of this
sum 1897, 821 900 was for national de-
tense and for payment of the costs of
war. That is practically so cents of
every dollar paid in taxes that goes to
pay war costs and provide for defense
against war.
No nation gains by war.

Toy Pistol Denounced
AS Starter of Crime

To the Editor OF The Star:
I'll kill you! Bang, bang, bangt
I'll kill you'll said the tiny kid as he
accosted me on the sidewalk with a
cap-pistol. Later he came into my
shop and repeated. Again. finding me
sitting down, he put the pistol within
few inches of my head and pulled
the trigger.
Here is job worth while for the
reformers. Why don't they stop the
manufacture of criminals by stopping
the manufacture and sale of toy
weapons for the kids? The kid just
mentioned and many like him are
on the way to criminal lives. They are
getting their impressionable minds
biased in the direction of murder with
the notion that 1t is only cuteness.
AS a twig is bent, the trees inclined, is
very true.
There is no possible benefit from the
teaching of children that carrying and
using guns is a smart thing. The
practice is senseless and vicious with
out extenuation. M. E. SLOAN.

Objects TO ID. G. Streets
AS Automobile Garage

To the Editor of Thu star:
Why should auto owners be per-
mitted to use the streets for night ga
RACES? And why should they park their
cars in front of other peoples property?
If they can't afford a garage, then they
can't afford an automobile. AS our
friend, Mr.. o. M. Blundon, said, it is
an eyesore to the city. I have often
wondered what visitors and tourists
must think when they see autos parked
at night In every available spot, from
one end Of this city to the ot..er-"Tl -
City Beautiful" 1t would be just like
penetrating jungle for fire engine
or patrol to get through some of the
streets at night. If we have few
disastrous fires or similar calamities,
the Commissioners will probably awaken
to the seriousness of the situation.
There is no necessity for this night
parking and the men, who have it in
their power to do so, should stop it. I
understand it is not permitted in any
other city in the United States.

It's Bills stunt, and we'll have to wish
the boy luck at it," concludes the
Journal.
Somehow or other the man who pro-
poses to roll a peanut up Pixies Peak
with his nose. strikes one as an engaging
and ingenious person, one whom it
would be a pleasure to see in action -
says the Fresno Bee, contending that
this man has contrived to lend a dis
tinct touch of individuality to a per-
Torrance which generally is only con-
s1dered worthy of fraternity limitations
and such like childishness.
The Meridian Star notes that "Mr.
Williams chief annoyance comes from
squirrels, who want TO eat his peanut.
Possibly the squirrels are more inter-
ested in the foolish pusher than in the
lowly 'pushee,'" suggests the Mississippi
paper, as it concludes: "At any rate. the
fool-killer seems to be falling down on
his well known job"

Protect the Children!

MIR. Harland has timed his plea for
protection Of children against the
dangers Of street trafnc with the clos
ing Of the school year, when thousands
of boys and girls, heretofore busy at
their desks, viii find their playground
during Summer vacation on the side
walks and In the streets. He asks the
drivers Of automobiles to be doubly
cautious In keeping with the greater
hazard. But great responsibility falls
upon the parents. Their failure to
prevent their own children from habitu-
ally running In the streets; lack Of
emphasis, on their part, Of the dangers
Of running across the streets, will re-
suit in more tragedies. There have
been an alarming number of them al.
ready.
During the calendar year 1928 six
teen children were killed In trafic acct
dents. This year there have been fifteen
already, with nearly five and a half
months to 60 before the year is out.
If the death rate among children con-
tinues for the rest Of the year at the
pace already set there will have been
an increase Of nearly o hundred per
cent over last year. No greater indict-
ment exists of the public's failure to
solve traffic problem that apparently
becomes more intricate despite the
money and time spent in its study.
There are significant factors in the
nature Of casualties among children this
year. In the first place. not a single
driver Of death-dealing vehicle could
be held accountable to the law. ALI oil
the children have been under fourteen
years old. One Of them was under
three years old; three Of them were
three. Their ages alone offer eloquen,
testimony Of how such accidents are
possible.

Debenture RediVivus.

The debenture plan seems to have
almost as many lives as cat. At any
rate, it quite apparently viii not down
On the eve of Congress recent recess
Senator Norris, Republican progressive
of Nebraska, proposed that the famous
export bounty scheme, already rejected
by both houses and the President as
an integral portion of the farm relief
bill, should be affixed as a rider to the
impending new tariff law. Senator
Borah, Republican progressive of Ida
no, long ago said that was where de-
benture belongs.
Yesterday the National Grange, chief
sponsor of the proposition, formally
revived 1t by asking the Senate finance
committee to incorporate an export de-
benture clause in the tariff bill nov
being fashioned by Chairman Smoot
and his perspiring colleagues on Capitol
Hill Mr.. Taber, the seasoned master
of the Grange, In placing the proposal
before the committee, used somewha,
ominous language. He asserted that
farmers can in no other way obtain
tariff benefits on surplus crops. Then
in so many words he told Senators
that unless their chamber voted de-
benture into the revised protective sys-
tenn there will be q different story
to tell" That has certain 1890 con-
gressional election ring about 1t. Po-
litical cynics might go the length OF
calling it threat.
Mr.. Taber processes optimism as to
debenture's fate In Congress If clad
in the garb Of tariff schedule. In
the Senate, where the plan was twice
supported, though by the slenderest OF
majorities, the master Of the Grange
may be justified in viewing the future
through rose-tinted glasses. The
House smashed debenture by q vote
of more than to /, and no evidence
is at hand that the lower branch
would be any more favorable to it
when camouflaged, than when it wa,
rejected In the original package.
One thing seems even more certain
unless consistency takes wings from ths
White House. That Is that President
Hoover would not consent to tariff
bill loaded down with Q makeshift
which, he has said, would bring dis
aster," not relief, to American agri-
culture.
The Hawley-Smoot bill Is sure to
grant the farmer far-reaching tariff
concessions in the way Of higher rates
en- foreign produce, no matter what ID
done, or not done, for industry. But
the prediction is strongly warranted
that If farm politicians contrive to
cucumber the bill with Q project
against which the President and the
popular branch Of Congress are Sc
sternly opposed, the result may be nc
tariff revision at all-either for coun-
try or for town.

I'm the death Of Henry P. Roche
the city Of New Britain has lost a
very high type of public official. The
lawyers of New Britain. especially
the younger lawyers, have lost true
and sincere friend.
Henry p Roche was, in my
opinion. the nearest approach to the
proper judicial temperament of any
lawyer with whom / have ever come
into contact. He was inherently
honest. absolutely fearless in the dis
charge OF his duties; studious. pa
tient. hard worker with heart
full of kindness. and possessed of a
very sound legal training. He gave
every case, whether it involved much
or little, painstaking care, and when
his decision was rendered it was ac-
cording to his honest convictions;
and in all cases. especially cases in
the criminal court, he was guided by
his heart as we'll as by his mind.
