THIS THING CALLED PARITY

Although the l.OnQOn NdNdl IOll- ference has recessed for a week as a courtesy 10 France giving her time to set up a new cabinet, under lying conditions are not changed by this holiday Of a week.
 Word from the London Confer encc is that Italy is inclined 10 ln- sist on naval parity with France. h. stead of discussing methods to cur tal their ornaments, the involved nations seem most concerned abou; ways to raise their allotments or fighting equipment, which is done in the name of security,
 The chief trouble maker in the barley, however. is France. For ten years. or ever since the end of the world war, France has been diff cult to satisfy. AS security increases. her dissatisfaction does not neccs- sarily decrease.
 She has said that she is ready to reduce her armamcnts as political security is attained. During that time political security has beer augmented through the LocarnC pact, winch gives France military guarantees on her eastern frontier; by the Kellogg Briand pact, which has made it at least easier to or ganlze world opinion in the event 0. threatened hostilities, and throug0 the League of Nations and tho l World Court, both Of which are ! functioning,
 As against this security France | has a military alliance with Poland l Czecho- Slovakia and JuGo-Slavia
 she has tho largest and best equip
 ped army in Europe; she has an ai
 force that appears to lead the worl'

SCHOOLBON SItfl IN CITY HALL

While considerable amusement IS created by events in political circles in the city Of New Britain, tn" thinking citizen will also regard the antics of the ballyhoo crowd with considerable apprehension as to the outcome Of the childishness that Is being displayed on all sides. From the Mayor, through the CommoA Council, and down the list or city officials there is shown too much ol inc sentiment commonly met with on any sandlot where schooiboys are gathered for game of "one-oid- cat''-too much Let me bat the ball or I won't play, and I'll take my glove and ball and go home Wlth them" A little Of this is funny, bur if ceases to amusc after a while
 We are playing no favorites m these general remarks, we intend them to apply to all whose risib'ti- ties, or political cupidity. have been publicly flown in the series Of nap reninss occurring for month or 70 now and eliminating m In" Common Council meeting oi last night. A little of the saving sense of humor and a little consideration for the city and its affairs would sit much prcttier on the shoulders of the City Fathers than the mantle of pettiness they have adopted.
 Useless it is to go into the argu- ments Of the past, when se'era public men went further, We believe than they had any intention ot so' ing after they had cooled off o1e' real or fancied injuries suffered pS them,
 Last night the Common Counci met in snecial session to consider The Mayors veto Of the selection O w Fl Dav, as Comptroller.

Artist on Visit Here
Says Prohibition
ISaFQilure

PARIS, May II G.N.SO -
That prohibition in the United
States exists in name only and
that one can get a drink any,
where and anytime. except at
the White House-this was the
message brought back from the
other side recently by Gilbert
White, well-known artist. White
said:
II don't like to say, hut i
found that many SO-called 100
per cent Americans are only
80 per cent American and 20
per cent alcohol. The only place
where prohibition can truly
exist is where people make a re-
ligiOn Of it. Americans are for
prohibition in spirits only"
Mr.. White added that he had
travelled around the world to
find the top of the earth and
had only found it on his return
to the starting point, Paris.
He was a little bitter over the
fact that Just because he lived
abroad, many Americans at
home called him an "expatrl-
ate"

|NPASSE.
STILL HOLDS

The Senate's repeal Of Presi-
dent Hoover's flexible tariff pow
ers today continued to be the
bone of contention between SEN
ate and House conferees on the
tariff bill.
The House conferees laid down
an ultimatum that the bin would
have to be taken back to the
Senate for another vote on the
flexible repeal. Senate conferees
were about ready to do so. even
though they frankly admitted the
Senate would vote again to strip
the President of all power 20
change tariff duties.
The debenture plan of farm re-
lief. which the Democratic-InSur-
gent coalition added to the bill in
the Senate, also remained under
fire. House leaders declared they
never would accept it and that
it would have to be taken from
the bill before it could pass. The
coalition leaders were just as in
sistent it would have to remain
in the bill.
The flexible repeal. however,
stirred up the most trouble. One
after another Democratic spokeS-
men have condemned the present
law. under which Presidents may
raise or lower the tariff by so
per cent.
