with . stop-watch and firearms in hiding behind the sign.
 Constable Fred Wrinkle of this city is net that kind of an official. If he had been one of this sort dur- ing his e5 years "on the job" pro. fessional and business men of this city would not have ssen fit to pro- vide . banquet in his honor and present him with . sold watch in token of their esteem. Such honors only come to constables with a heart.
 Constable Wrinkle has gone so far as to pay the fines of poor unfor- tunatss:" instead of being hard faced minion of the law he has functionsd somewhat as . good Samaritan. And when circumstances were such as not making 1t possible to avoid the sad features of the job the constable has been charitable sympathetic and warm hearted. Per- haps, as he has done his duty, he frequently gave kind advic. ~uch as lawyers usually charge TOT.
 We heartily join in wishing Mir. Wrinkle well. He is the model con. stable Of Connecticut.

THE. BLUE SKY LAW

For many years Connecticut fail- ed to follow in the footst cps of sis ter states which had effective blue sky laws upon the statute books. When the subject was brought up in this state there ~invariubly were good arguments found to oppose a good fraud law. Caveat emptor was not exactly the guiding post or the slogan. but it had much to do with the Connecticut feeling. Then, too. there was a disposition not to hamstring the legitimate business of the stock and bond houses which looked with disfavor upon legisla- tion of this order, smacking too much of interference with business.
 But it had to come. Such law as the etate had was found in- adequate to safeguard the public, as came 10 Hsht Tn the Watkins case. That financial eruption was suf- ficiently detrimental to the invest ment business to force everyone, in- cluding the investment brokers. to decide that better safeguards were necessary. AS consequence Con- necticut at last finds itself follow ing the other states which have blue sky laws. although the Nutmeg statute differs in some particulars from most of the others It may be better, or it may not be as good, but at least it is something of a kind the state has needed for many years. There are those who say had the law been in existence before the Watkins affair started the latter would never have gained sufficient headway to sting many worthy citizens who proved easy bait.

DOWNTOWN PARKING, AGAIN


 Al general thing. Chairman Bannon of tho police commissions CTS says, he does not favor the total elimination of downtown parking, as such an arrangement would not be good for business. One infers from this. however, that a certain amount of parking elimination is not deemed bad for business, which indicates the plan for the summer will be the compromise which we have known for some years past.
 Elimination of parking certainly is bad for the business of mer- chants: 90 is unregulated parking. Perhaps it is . tossup which is the worse. Certainly tho motor shopper who cannot find | place to park near where she wishes to shop is not likely to be a satiafied customer; Indeed, she is not likely to be a customer at all. And it makes little practical difference whether inabil- ity to find parking space Is due to mo- parking signs or parked cars
 Conditions, being what they are, 1t would be interesting 10 discover just what percentage of shoppers come in cars.

 SQUARE FILLING STArICN
 Editor of Herald:
 would like to say few things in regard to the disposal Of the pro- perty at the corner Of Franklin Square and Psnrl street. fthink we should have neither the gas station nor the lunch cart. The space from the high school to the corner of Park street should be kept free. II W ouId be much better if this proper ty could be used for q park and a few flower beds made in it. Perhaps some day, a monument to some prominent man could be placed here. We have very few of these in New Britain. know we have some beautiful parks. but most of these are remote from the center.
 A gas station is ornamental in a way, but 1t is strictly for business purposes. It takes up great deal of room and would deprive chArch attendants Of a parking place for their cars. It seems out of place in . center where there are so many churches. As they keep open Sundays, it would interfere with the spirit of reverence which should prevail in this neighborhood. Frank lin Square as it is now is beauty spot with its pretty park and monu- ment to Elihu Burritt. When I was child, this corner lot was owned by a public spirited man. and ne built beautiful fountain. A per- feet model Of steam boat went round and round on the water much to the delight of the passers by.
 Doubtless the stones and pebbles which formed the basin Of this fountain. may still be found. There are some hne trees on this spot which would doubtless be cut down to make room for the gas station.
 A prominent lady who formerly lived in New Britain said: There is so much that is useful in New Britain let us have something that is simply beautiful" She is right. and we should have more civic pride in preserving Franklin Square and keeping it from the intrusion of unnecessary business concerns.
 Including Towers gas station .t the foot Of South Main street. to the front of the high school there are six gas stations. Seems to mo. this is enough to take care of this section.

The Habitual Jail Breaker!
(By Leonard Delhrens)

No. 6571 simply won't stay put. He is well educated and known as the most elusive bird ill captivity. His originality and ingenuity in the matter of breaking out of jail has attracted national attention-l'rom q newspaper story.
 "You have asked me why persist in my attempts to gain my free dom," No. C57l said when VIC inter- viewed him. Well. that is q ques- tion. A sweeping question. isn't it?

That's one thing that keeps me young. Lest time. I pulled an old one on them. Went out in an ash can and stayed out a week before they got me. Out guessed them.

THE WAR DEBTS LOOM

Representatives of the Allied na- tions attempting to rearrange the rcparations payments, have not shown . disposition to regard their war debts to the United states as entirely out of the picture. The American representatives headed by owen w. Young. have taken care to regard them as entirely separate. Approaching the discussions from thess opposing viewpoints. it has been natural that disagreement en- sued. The Young plan, unquestion- sbly asgacal from the standpoint of .Ssseesa1lienal finance exclusive of .,ths wal debts to America. turns into . hideous affair to the Allied natiens when coupled with their war debtA In short. the Allied na- lions would receive less. from Ger many than they would have to pay to the United States If and when all the war debts to the United States are ratified. Great Britain. who has ratified and has already begun to pay her debts to America. finds her self bereft of an income from rep arations under the Young plan which seriously increases her tax re- quirements If the plan is generally accepted and ratified. Naturally British citizens of all shades of opinion are strongly opposed to the Young plan. Already the most heav- fly taxed nation on earth. Great Britain sees no reason to tax herself still more heavily in order to re- ceive less in separations and pay her debts to America.
 In theory the American plan to consider the war debts separately from reparations is sound-at least. to Americans. But not not to Euro peans. It seems utterly impossible to induce Frenchman or a British CT to understand that if they are 10 receive less from Germany on the American capacity to pay" system, that they should not also pay less 10 America. It is difficult to con- vince the European that America also has endeavored to apply the capacity to pay principle to her former associates in the war That may be all right in theory. the asso- ciates in war say but if our capacity to pay happens to be better than the German capacity to pay. who pays the most bills' The Allie. who won the war, of course and not Germany.
 Even if there is all-around agree ment that the sums exacted from Germany are to the limit Of her capacity to pay, these sums do not necessarily balance the debts of the Allies owing to America. This is plain matter of figures. and Mr. Young and his colleagues have them. To the European there is only one way out of the financial inn duction in what America is de- manding of her former war associ- atcs. MT. Young. cabling to Wash ington. is said to have made this in formal suggestion. If the separations conference fails this question is cer- tain to become something for the Hoover administration 10 wrestle with. It would result. in all probability. that the Mellon Der enxer debt agreement with France would not be ratified by the French parliament-a possibility that is likely even should inc separations conference mol fail-ani it also
