No matter what kind of farm bill is passed. it will mean that dwellers in the city are to pay more for food. Of course. there are many of us living in the cities who are willing to pay fair price for edibles when with the payment of the cost goes the knowledge that the men who raised it are receiving enough to prosper decently. And there is the likelihood. too. that city dwellers may prosper more themselves if the farmers of the nation turn into bet ter buyers of goods made in the cities.
 The s50O.00o.00o experiment. sure to be tried-leaves city dwellers at least hopeful. Their fears may be groundless: farm relief may mean no more than wiping out the wastes between farms and cities, yielding a greater income for the farmers without appreciably increasing the cost of food to the consumers.
 All Of which, however, is may be" proposition. That is why the farm relief plan is such conspicu- ous experiment.

THE DEBENTCRE PLAN

The export debenture plan as method of helping the farmers is in a class by itself It is not a part of the original farm relief measure sponsored by the administration. and President Hoover has given ten reasons why he opposes it.
 The debenture plan. tersely de- scribed, means a government bounty on exports. Exporters of farm pro- ducts would receive a bounty equal to one-half the duty. For instance the duty On wheat is AZ cents, which would give exporters of wheat a government bounty of q cents on every bushel exported. This method would stimulate large production for export, would maintain the domestic price well above the world price. and In addition would mean that millions of dollars would be given to farmers in the form of bounty.
 In order to secure support in the south. a special bounty of two cents a pound on cotton IS provided there being no duty on cotton. '.' The debenture plan has met with 7 approval in the senate agricultural committee It probably has no chance in the house Should, how ever, Congress add the debenture plan 10 the regular farm relief bill it would most certainly lead to a veto by President Hoover. The debenture plan is even more objec- tionable than the McNary- Eaugen plan of last year

THIS MODERN PAVING

Streets in New Britain are begin- ming to be much the worse for wear. The spring thaw has done it's worst. and even some of our best paved' streets are proving to autoists that good springs are handy things to have.
 Obviously, one must expect some such development each spring. But there is no need to let the holes re. main longer than necessary. Just as soon as this April shower and rain weather begins to blend into the more rational kind we can expect in May there ought to be a concert ed attempt by the public works de- partment to get rid of the holes In a hurry.

END OF A NOTABLE MAN

During the late unpleasantness when every day saw thousands of casualties the Rev. Charles Coppens of this city led congregation made up of the races which were in the thick of the war. To the unbounded credit Of the pastor of St. Peters church. good will and brotherly love predominated among his par ishioners. Himself born in Belgium. he had among his charges former Frenchmen and former Germans. When the war broke out there were those who thought the pastor would have much trouble; instead. he had none at all. By his attitude he inn pressed his parishioners that there is TO nationality in religion and re- gardless of the various races repre- sented in the parish. Christianity must continue to prevail in their hearts. It did. There was no war discussion at or near the church, nor among the parishioners.
 The Rev. Father Coppens could speak Belgian. French and German fluently, as well as English. And he was a man of peace in every lan- guage. Under the kind administra- tons of the priest we rather think the various races of his flock under stood the need for applying Christian principles to such time better than many who were contributing to the melee of discussion elsewhere.
 The city deeply regrets his pass ing. He had kind word and a hearty handshake for all. He was that type of man which makes the world better.

COMMUNICATED
Objects to Naturalization Proceeding

Objects to. Naturalization Proceeding Dear Sir:
 wish to take advantage of your paper. through your communicated column, to express my views on the action of Judge Sake and Naturali- zation Examiner John Davis in ad- hitting at least two men to citizen ship who in my opinion should not be permitted to become citizens of this country.
 In your paper of the above date you mentioned one man, who has been a resident of this country for twenty-three years and could not speak the English language. but was admitted to citizenship.
 You also mentioned another man, who was also admitted to citizenship although he could not read.
 In my estimation these men should not have been granted cit izenship and as an American citizen l protest the action of Judge Sake and Naturalization Examiner John Davis in admitting them to citizen ship.
 If any man cannot speak or read the English language he should be denied citizenship. l do not believe that there is any good excuse for a man who has been living in this country for twenty-three years. not being able to speak the English language. and I do not believe that because a man has eight children he should be admitted when he cannot pass the necessary require- ments for citizenship. It is not fair to those who have come over and worked hard to learn to be good citizens nor to those who will do 50 In the future.
 Tn my estimation it is time that the American citizens insisted that every man and woman who is ad- mitted to citizenship in this country must have the full requirements for good citizenship. If anything we should be more strict. rather than lax. I believe that it is because of cases such as these that we have 50 many undesirable and unfit citizens today.
