FORD ON PROSPERITY

Mir. Ford's idea on how 10 in crease prosperity is simply new variation Of the old system Of put ting money at work, except that Mr. Ford thinks the money should be added 10 the consumption power Of the average man through increased wages, increased value in the goods he buys. or decreased costs sEould the goods remain the same.
 Most old-tmc industrialists will not agree with AIr. Ford, But they never have. From the beginning of his motor making enterprise he has broken every rule that the old-time udustrialis,s thought important. His example of high wages and high production, however has been gen orally accrp pt"d at a much higher value than at first seemed likely. Many plants hay" attempted to equal or surpass him since he began the system.
 There is no denying hat the man with high wages is better customer for commerce than the man with low wages The latter, able to buy little more than the bare necessities of life not only fails to support in- dustrios which manufacture the luNurigs Of today that become the necessities O. tomorrow. but with a little hard luck. such as unemploy- mont or sickness, he too frequent ly becomes a charge upon the com munity, which is to say he is sup ported by the remainder of more fortunate consumers.
 The ideas of the automobile manu- facturcr upon economies usually are sound. This field is his speciality. His accomplishments in it have brought him worldwide fame. His public statement on the necessary eco- monies O. the present status of trade and industry vas an important con- tribution to the prevailing discus sion.
 Su'ing action 10 his word, Mir. Ford has announced that an increas- od wage scale for all Ford workers. But at the same time certain assem- lily plants have been closed doWn.at least temporarily. If the Ford idea of better wages is adapted, the as @"mDly plants no doubt will open up again. enc Of the first results oi q le-soncd buying power being q re- 1uc'ion in the consumption Of new automobiles. Mr, Ford in effect ask cd 10 have the consumption stan darl increased.

Connectcut river that is undcfiled by sewage. The city will set an ex- ample to some others which also need the stimulation of state pres sure. We won't mention them by name,
 It is idle to assume, however, that what Improvements Connecticut cities might make will be sufficient to purify the Connecticut river. The pollution starts in Massachusetts, and such cities as HoIyolio. Chicopee and Springfield are great offenders, throwing amounts Of acids and fac tory waste into the waters as well as sewage.
 This matter of factory waste for some reason is never referred to by the state water commission. If it were not for the acids that enter the river the sewage would not be half the problem it happens to be; in deed, the river probably would puri- " itself to great extent were it not for the factory wastes and acids. which prevent such natural action incident to flowing water. To induce all the cities 10 discontinue using the river for sewage yet permitting the industrial plants to use the stream for their own waste would be an In- justice to the cities. If the sewage is to be eliminated from the river. why not the industrial wastes also? Man jfestIy this would result in some ex- pcnse for every industrial plant dis posing of it's wastes in such man. ner but they should not object in view Of the heavier expense placed upon the municipalities
 Then there is the state itself, which could set q good example. Un- less eyes and ears are at fault, the state cmptics its sewag. into the riy- CT at Mddletown. Why should this take place? Let the state practice what il breaches in this respect.
 As far as New Britain is concern ed. it will do its duty. but it has a right to expect all other municipali- l ties and industrial plants to do their duty also. The water commission of the state should take steps to battle . the problem from every angle.

FORCING AN IMPROVEMENT

Much discussion has been heard and much ink spilled regarding the manner Connecticut cities have polluted the lordly Connecticut river. We have done our bit in this con- nection with zcst and pleasure. Con- demnation of cities which have con- tributcd 10 the rivers pollution has been well-nigh unanimous.
 But when we have talked about said pollution the blame usually was attached to the other cities involved. A loyal New Br'ajuite, for instance, never seriously questioned the right Of his own city 10 attend 10 i,s river pollution without hindrance. If there must be a cessation Of this odorifcr- ous practice Iot the other cities responsible take th" lead, That has been the customary local practice
 Thus NO have 4l,y-dalied with the sewage disposal system for many years. And -eAila We dallicd other cities were cuuo.zeI for failing 10 take action. When the city of New Haven GaeIasa to roas,ruc, & sewage system plant. -#as avoiIins the necessity Of rol.arlg ,ho #a'er - of its flint l4rbor. tae Err City got good pr.ss which i- 10 =ay it was rouol'y apr.a1Ied. This sign Of progress IT Ee" fIv.n. however. did not stimulate many other c.tirs to adopt similarly progressive measures.
 New Britain. one Of the first cities in the Connrcttclt yaI"y 10 think Q. a proper means Of dispostug oG sew - age, has been q consistent laggarI. There has been no end oF 3iscusston and Of disagreement. Whenever q promising move was started there was fractional disharmouY. Now tAs state has bccoma tired Of i, and we have obtained what seems like du, notice that action will have 10 take the place Of inactjon.
 The net result has been a move tC employ sanitary engineers for q sur. vey Of the situation. This seems tho most logical first move possible Many citizens already have a fait idea of the proper method; bu others have different ideas, Ac credited sanitary engineers ought t' be able to bring about q more har monious background.
