The Triangle Complete

& All is well in democratic circles Tn Con &nscticut. The well-knwon triumvlrate ot Wf-nnar,ings, SpelIacy. and Fitzgerald is com StIefe. Mention of Homer Cummings name sforU. S. Senator the Last few days has served
 notice on the state democracy that this well ,s known firm is ready to do business again.
 Ii ;s quite few years since the three above
 constituted law and order in state ranks or
 the democratic party Mir Cummings
 severed his connections immediately alter the
 1924 national democratic convention oy astnrninq over the office of national commit
 teeman to Thomas J. Spellacy who in turn !. passed it on to Archibald McNeil, Jr., of BrridQeport, couple of years back.
 MT Cumn1ingS last venture into the po-
 Gteal arena was in l93O when he delivered
 the keynote address at the state convention as which nominated Governor Gross. OP 10 sf that time he had devoted himself to his law practice down in Greenwich and New 1ofk. I've wonder if he actually is going to be per- |, suaded from this more lucrative position to the field where he met so much fiekleness seand unsound friendship. He has been can
 didate for U S. Senator on two occasions. :, :, His last try was in 1916 when he gave ssEx- Senator George P. Mclean quite battle In 1910 he was again democratic candidate Y for the Senate. but was turned down by the Legislature which elected senators in those f days. ,raVs He reached the heights of oratorieal bril- Gance at San Francisco in 1920 when he de- ,o livered the keynote address to the delegates
 who nominated James M. Cox of Ohio for
 president Cummings was temporary chair sn man of that gathering. Incidentally 1t was at that convention that Governor Franklin ttcEt Roosevelt started on his upward climb to
 political fame. However, the prestige that
 was Mir Cummings in Connecticut vanished at the 1924 Madison Square Garden eonven-
 ton when he insisted upon Connecticuts s SSglseates backing William G. MeAdoo when E t,eir sympathy was so. obviously with Gov M ernor Smith. That marked a downward ' trend in the political fortunes of the famous k triumvirate of Cummings. Spelaey. and & Fitzgerald. r.. It is believed that they were recouped this N fall when democrats carried New Haven ana V INr9ord mayorstyb elections. gln both 1n- ' stances the candidates of Mir Spellaey and MT E.Fitzgerald won primary battles and then x emerged victorious over their republican q opponents. Mention of Mir Cummings now E completes the triangle. But we aren't so H'iiIf1 siiIffe that he esres for another venture into 1.-the political fields. though the senatorial !. plum is enough to tempt any man. Chances 4, of a democratic victory in Connecticut in .il932 are bright And if, as it is rumored' Representative Augustine Lonergan of Hart II! fordcmight not seek renomination to his pres-
 ent office, but would aim at the senatorial , toga Messrs Spellaey and Fitzgerald might {. find keen pleasure in presenting Mir Cum

Washington.-The thing to re- member about the prospective British tariff and its possible ef- feet on our foreign trade is that the United Kingdom buys far more of our goods than any country In the world except Canada.
 Outside of North America, Brit ain buys about three times as large portion of our exports as our second best customer, Germany, or oru third best customer, France. Despite all efforts to push our trade in the 20 Latin American republics, she still buys more from us than all of them combined.
 Consequently the present Brit ish government will be anxiously watched in this country as 1t for mulates its tariff program. That Britain will abandon free trade and adopt sometariff is considered certain. but there Is also 8 fear that the great conservative election victory may be followed by unex- pected stiff schedules of duties and the raising of general tariff wall around the whole empire.
 All tariffs automatically limit imports and the higher they are the harder 1t is for another coun- try's exports to surmount them. But it is also considered certain that British duties will stimulate the building of American branch plants in England, Canada and other empire countries. The com monly acknowledged general bad effects of tariff barriers will be in
 creased by elimination of the one great free trade country and re- covery of Germany, so essential to the worlds economic health and so dependent upon favorable Ger
 man trade balance, may be sec
 riously retarded because the United
 Kingdom is Germany's best cus-
 toner just as 1t is ours.
 Last year Britain bought $67S.- 100000 in American exports and
 sold us only $210,o0o,000, leaving
 an enormous balance in our favor.
 She absorbed IS per cent of our export trade and at the peak of business ner purchases amounted
 to about a billion dollars annually.
 In the first seven months of 1881
 she took 260.000.00 of American
 exports, as compared with Cana da's purchases of $265, 5,0OO,0O0, Germany's $9s. s.000, 900 and France's
 $s0, 0,000,000 and Japan's $89,000,-

INTERyiAEIzaIED COUNCIL.

INVGkE~lAIA&1AhD SOOANO&Ss
 On Nov IA, 1917, Premier Lloyd George, of England, speaking In the House of Commons, made pub lie the provisions of the agreement by the British French and Italian governments for the Inter-Allied war Council to act as a unit.
 Two days before this he had roundly excoriated the Entente for it's blunders.
 After reading the text of the agreement to the House the pre-, mier said: ". the council will have no executive power, and final decisions in the matter of strategy and distribution of movements cf the various armies will rest upon the several governments of the Allies.
 "The object of the Allies has been to set up a central body charged with the duty of contin- uously surveying the field of oper- ations as . whole of the light of information derived from all fronts and from all the govern ments and staffs, and of co-ordi- hating the plans prepared by the different general staffs, and, If necessary, of making proposals for the better conduct of the war"

Australia from $5s,oO0.Ooo to $t7.- 900, ,000. f.a ....s
 The British empire as whole has been taking about 40 per cent of our exports-a portion which in the period referred to was more than $500, 100000. ai
 Many of our largest manufactur- ing corporations already have branch plants in the British Isles and the bulk of our exports to them have been in agricultural products. In 1929 the United Kingdom bought $160, 100000 worth, of American cotton and $80,000,000 of tobacco. been wheat, meats, lard, gaspline, Our other major exports there have iubricating oil, copper, wood and paper, automobile parts, fruits and furs.
 The Germans probably are wor- rying more than we are about 9 British tariff because they depend on England for their vitally inn portant favorable balance of trade. Last year they sold her $161,000,- 900 more in goods than they bought from the British. German exports to the United Kingdom are largely finished manufactures.

ARCHBISHOP MURRAY
7(Hartford courant)

.rhe announcement that Pope Plus xI has appointed Bishop Mur- ray of Portland to be Archbishop of St Paul was welcome intelli- gence to residents of Hartford wholly regardless of race or creed. Hartford knew the newly appoint ed Archbishop long before Port land met him, for he was Q well beloved professor in St Thomas Seminary in 1900, became chancel- Tor of the Diocese of Hartford in 1908, and its auxiliary bishop in 1919. In 1925. he went to Portland as Bishop.
 We are glad to say to those who will meet the Archbishop when he assumes the burden now imposed upon him that while in Hartford he was dear to the hearts not only of Catholics but of Hebrew and Protestant as we'll. All recognised him as their friend, as one who would serve them cheerfuily and faithfully if opportunity offered. His presence brought comfort and help to many outside his own faith who now rejoice to hear of the honor which is his.

 In accordance with the southern custom of abbreviating christian names, the junior senator from Ar. kansas was more frequently known as 'Thad" Caraway than by his full cognomen of Thaddeus M. Cara way. That abhreviation seemed to go somewhat with his tempera- Snent.
 Senator Caraway might have been called the wasp of the senate. He had q bitter tongue and no used it freely. Upon ''Pat'--another ab. breviatlOn -- Harrison devoives somewhat, or is assumed, the tnMk of being the senate soold. But "pat" Harrison does his scoiding

 Caraway, on the other hand, fre- ouentiy spoke to sting and to hurt. Sometimes 1t seemed as though he was more concerned with being bitter than with sound discussion. He was not always wrong, how- ever. any more than he was always right. Hts excoriations sometimes were to the point. Probably he was not either great leader or . sreat atntesman, although some import- ant logisiatiOn emhnated from his ideas. lie was one of the active members of tho democratic nai- noFity, an important political fac- tor in the democratic party.
