Tho cleaning up of the states streams has become an economic matter, and that will not brook indefinite delay. The State Water Commission did not come into being as health measure or to pro- tect fish life. or to eliminate odors along the streamA The fundamental reason for creating the commission was economic. The commission made this clear in the 1928 report. just issued:
 'In . highly industrialiled state like Connecticut, the manufacturer, as well as the municipality, must be assured of an adequate supply of reasonably clean water in order that he may continue to exist and de- velop. Already in certain parts of the state this question of water supply has become of great importance to industry. Unless the volume of pol lution reaching the waterways can be reduced. industry in certain locali- ties has reached its limit of ex- pansion. Undoubtedly this question of an adequate supply of clean water is a factor in arriving at . decision to remove manufacturing plants from New England to the South" It was credit to the city to be- gin action before Hartford.

WHY TOURISTS VISIT NEW ENGLAND

hlstoTlc pIdces m NeW EnEland have been put in their place by a survey of why tourists come to the six northeastern states each summer, and to the surprise of most of us who talk history and point to our shrines with pride, it is not first place.
 Scenic beauty, or natural sur roundings," wins first place, and this is eminently satisfying. There have been well authenticated re- ports all along that our scenic beauty is unsurpassed. It is the item in second place, however, which in- trigues our unbounded interest. "Ex- cellent food" IS runner-up in this unique batting average. It seems that New England shore dinners actually mean something to tourists from the hinterland. regardless Of EpFtee. s4 That New Engianders themselves are aware of native attractions and do not go elsewhere in large num- bers to obtain the proper setting for tourist trip is indicated by the announcement that almost 50 per cent of them are not willing to travel more than cbO miles in search of the basic change that is an essen. tial in vacationing. In other words. they stay right in New England most of the time.
 These facts completed by Law renee W. Chidester of Tufts college, sent out by the industrious professor are the result of a questionnaire on behalf of the New England Coun- cil.
 Eighty per cent of the citizens not fortunate enough to be residents of New England, it appears. are will ing to travel 500 miles to get here; indeed, 4ss per cent stated they were willing to travel 1 900 miles to reach the right place in which to forget the ,icisstudes of life. Such indeed is the lure of scenery and satisfac- tory edbles to go with it.
 To be complete, here is the com. plete batting average: Natural surroundings Excellent food.
 Healthful climate. Sports.
 Modern conveniences. Reasonable rates. Quiet, comfort and rest Courtesy and service. Historic places.
 i Social activities.
 One sees from this that ''histori, places is nearly the tail-ender. As clincher the number of visitors eoinl to Bunker Hill was checked. Here i the lugubrious report:

CRUDE OIL FOR ENGINES:

As is known 10 most persons even mildly interested in the future of aviation" the invention of an en- sine. or the utilization of any of the type already invented. which would make it possible to ride through the skies with the help of crude oil rather than gasoline, costs would be so radically reduced that it would amount to revolution in aviation.
 And the same type of engine, If utilized in automobiles, would revo- lutionize the oil industry. Gasoline stations would disappear-they would become crude oil stations. The cost of the propulsive fluid would be one-fourth or one-fifth the present cost of gasoline. So radically re- duced would be the financial turn over in the operation of gasoline filling stations that their number would suffer . vast reduction. The business either would be more cen- tralized or there would need to be a four-fold increase in the number of automobiles in use.
 This probably is the inner mean ing of the new Diesel motor using crude oil which the Packard com- pany claims to control, an example Of which made the trip from Detroit to Langley Field, Va, travelling sa0 miles. at . cost of S4.6s for oil.' A similar flight with gasoline would have cost approximately 324 for the oil.
 It must not be forgotten that the use of the Dieael engine in ocean vessels revolutionized marine trans- portation. It is not beyond possibility or probability that the same species of progress will be made on land and in the air. If there is anything at all to the old saw that seeing is be- lieving" then the engineers at the fourth annual meeting of the Ma tional Advisory Committee on Aeronautics, the government techni- cal agency that was brought into be- ing by President Wilson. have an op- portunity to examine the new baby provided the company owning the l patents is willing to take the risk of having the new engine copied. some- l thing, it seems, of which there is a certain reluctance.
 The ordinary Diesel engine is of great weight. The problem of using them in airplanes-or automobiles hinged upon . reduction of the weight per horsepower. If, as is claimed, the engine weight has been reduced to three pounds per horse- power then the problem has been solved. Ordinary sir-cooled gasoline engines weigh about the same. An. other problem. that of starting the Diesel engine. which usually is a diff ficult rite, is said to have been done with the pressing of a button. which was followed by an explosion in part of the engine, after which it wa. running. This sounds simple. al. though if these engines become common in the years to come it pre-. supposes just a little more noise te add to that which we already have.
 But the test flight Of the Civera autoeiro, brought from England. in. terests us nearly ss much. This helicopter plane descended straigh, down from the skies. That sound, like an amazing performance. Avia ton truly is progressing"

b0iad League Calls Fight War Danger Saturday, ya
ISSUE CALL FOR
ALL WORKERS TO
NAME DELEGATES
Minor, Dunn, Pershing
j, Will Speak

Y The All-America Anti-Imperialist
League has called its first labor
conference to fight the war danger
and the new offensive of American
imperialism for Saturday, Jan. u,
at ! p. M, at the Labor Temple,
18th st. and Second Ave. Speakers
viii include Robert Minor, Robert
Dunn and George Pershing. The ap-
peal issued to all workers previous
to the conference follows:
Dear Friend: The strike of no.
600 banana workers in Colombia
against the United Fruit Company,
is an example of the intolerable
slave conditions imposed by Ameri-
can imperialism. Working for %
cents day, our Latin American fell
low workers went on strike demand
ing the abolition of the contract
system, recognition of the union, in
creased pay, decent housing santa
ton and social insurance. Martial
law was declared. The militia of the
puppet Colombian government was
called in to crush the strike on tie
orders of the American fruit barons.
More than 100 strikers have been
killed and 238 injured. The imper-
ialist agents of Wall Street have
brutally murdered the strikers in
Colombia, as they have shot down
in cold blood the rebels in Nicara-
qua fighting against imperialist OPP
preston. American workers here,
and our fellow workers in Latin
America have common enemy-the
same employing class that IS re-
sponsible for the speed-up system,
wage slashing, longer hours, injunc-
tions, company unions, the killing of
militant workers in the coal fields
of Pennsylvania and West Virginia,
of wholesale failing and police club
hing of the New Bedford textile
strikers.
"In Colombia, no less than in
Mexico, Cuba, Porto Rico, Haiti.
Nicaragua, and now in Paraguay
and Bolivia, the Wall Street inter-
ests are out to grab oil, mines. rail
roads, waterways, land-all the re-
sources of these countries, and ruth
Iessly to exploit the workers. This
is the object of Hoover's so-called
good will" trip IL Latin America

Spineless officials of the right

beaten into submission-when or
dered to break off unity negotia-
lions with the Progressive Butcher
Workers Union by their higher ups
in the United Hebrew Trades.
After a vicious expulsion drive
begun by the right wing had cul-
minated in the secession of a large
section of the membership who then
formed the left wing union, the U.
H. T. union had degenerated in
numbers and power severely. They
therefore made overtures to the left
wing organization for unity
Make Unity Demands.
Knowing with whom they were
dealing, the left wing put forward
unity demands, chief among which
were demands for total severance of
relations with the reactionary
United Hebrew Trades and organ
national steps, such as elections
and committee control which will
assure rank and file control. De-
moralized, the officials of the right
wing union accepted these propos-
ais at conference in the Libby Ho-
tel recently. The agreement was to
call membership meetings of both
unions for ratification of the agree
ment.

perialist powers to keep out of
Latin America, and an expression
of the new offensive of American
imperialism that is leading us with
headlong speed to a new world war.
The rivalry between the United
States and Great Britain for raw
materials and for control of world
markets is sharper today than ever
before. The struggle for supreme
control will inevitably lead to an
other world war.
"The preparedness statements of
Coolidge announcing the program Of
increased ornaments, the declara-
ton that the United States will
build "a navy second to none Kel-
logg's fake peace pact, Hoover's
trip to Latin America, are guaran-
tees of the coming imperialist war.
The acts of hostility against the
Soviet Union, indicate the danger of
combined attack Of the imperialist
powers against the First Workers
and Farmers Republic.
at is time for the workers of this
country to draw the correct conclu-
sions and organize to fight the
steadily growing power of imperial
ism. The menace of imperialist war
is here. Pacifist speeches are fu-
tile. The reactionary officialdom of
the American Federation of Labor
allies itself with the American
Legion and the American militarists
in their proposals to establish a
compulsory draft law and to build a
gigantic navy. The socialist party,
with its pacifist policy, is acting as
the tool of the war mongers by con-
fusing the minds of the workers as
to the actual war danger, thus i'm
peding the steps toward organized
resistance against this menace. Ac-
ton by labor is imperative.
