British Identification

3 g
 The British Labor government at last seems to be settling down to program of construc- tive action. One of its biggest items is double -bafreled enterprise which arouses interest, and some fear, in this country. It IS a program of identification of the whole Brit ish railway system. This: project is regarded primarily as an unemploytnent remedy and a substitute for the dole, and as such should win general approval. It would provide work, according to one of the London newspapers, for 6OO00 men over period of 20 years, and would cost S2,0000 100000. Electrifi- cation in itself is popular. too. in Great Bri- tain as 1t IS here.
 At the same time there wM begconsiderable question in England. and still more in America, about the desirability of accomplish ing such piece industrial progress as public undertaking with public funds In the United States it is regarded as an intolerable example of Socialism for the government even to improve and operate power plant which it built for military purposes and now has idle on its hands.
 "Superpower" will be a reality in both of these countries, and in many others The only question is, how far shall it be con- trolled or supervised by government = which is to say. by all the people together! Obviously the more complete power sys- tenn becomes. ..the more essential 1t IS that there shall be governmental power to prevent abuse and injustice. As for ownership = other things being equal America prefers to keep that in private hands. as long as they don't become monopolistie.

eastern states by highway system. Part of the route has been established by following roads already built. The road which forms gigantic figure-eight would link the Nam moth Cave of Kentucky with the great Smoky Mountain National Park, Shenandoah National Park and other historic sites in Wifi ginia and neighboring states The route would carry motorist from Lincoln's birth place in Kentucky to Mount Vernon on the Potomac river. Doubtless there won't be much road building as most of the spots se- leeted are now on hard-surfaced ,roadways However, little publicity would enlighten the public as to the wonders that are within easy motoring range. That and signs to tell one where he is and what's what about the neighborhood.

The next advance in Waterburys progress will be the removal of all poles from our city streets. When the myriad of wires that enable Waterbury to telephone, light its homes and offices, etc. are placed underground what city this will be. And, of course. we are moving slowly towards that era every day. It won't be long.

Although the republican party did relinquish the Labor Department commissionershp to the democrats this year they have managed to cut down the number of appointments that the incumbent Joseph M. Tone, may make considerably. Under Harry E. Mackenzie s regime there were sixty jobs to be distributed among worthy partymen. Now Mir Tone will only have thirty-five and he himself IS authority for the statement that already there have been more than 900 applications. The only person definitely sure to receive labor department job seems to be former Mayor Angelo M. Paonessa of New Britain. Mir Paonessa was the unsuccessful candidate tor sheriff in Hartford county last fall. He did have intentions upon the congressional nomination. but was finally persuaded to run for sheriff. Since he was defeated democratic leaders feel that he is entitled to state job. One way in which the republicans cut dem ocratic patronage in this department was to hand over to the Dairy and Food Comnis- sioner the right to appoint bakeshop inspee- tors. The Legislature took care of this little detail without much fuss or accompanying publicity Ans fair in love. war. and politics

Construction Dreams

It is suggested by W. A. Van Duzer. prcsi- dent of the American Road Builders asso- ciaton, that if the available road-eonstruc- ton. funds in this country were increased from the estimated $2.000. 100000 to $7.000.- OOO.0o0. the whole unemployed population could be put to work immediately. That might be expected to revive business and give us the worlds finest system of highways at one stroke
 He adds that the sum is nothing com pared with wartime expenditures Which is true. but not conclusive. Such a sum. too would probably suffice to wipe out the slums in American cities-a reform suggested by Calvin Coolidge the other day as deserving of public aid-and incidentally would put millions to work in the building industry. But even public funds are limited. And we have to preserve balance among industries. lest we do more harm than good
