Back To The Simple Life

Are we reverting to those good old days" when individuals and tribes swapped skins and foodstuffs without having to count the change? The Federal Farm Board, with burdensome surplus of wheat is giving 25,000,000 bushels to Brazil in exchange for l,050,000 bags of coffee, commodity which Brazil has been dumping into the sea for disposal. The logic Of the transaction is as simple as it was in tribal days. We need coffee which grows by the grace of Cod in Brazil. and Brazil needs wheat which grows here in spite of locusts and Farm Board exhortations. So we swap.
 Nor do the complications of modern trade interfere with the deal. Brazil has an import tax of approximately fourt-tents of cent on every two and wo-thrds pounds of wheat and, while we have no tariff on coffee, Brazile does maintain an export tax of about $2.50 bag on that commodity. These factors seem to have been shrugged away by the two countries which completed arrangements for their brotherly exchange. If tariff barriers are so easily surmounted in this instance, why not in others. Why not give our extra cotton for sugar and tea! Why not procure that extremely necessary commodity, rubber, from nations that can produce it by giving them machinery or food they must import'
 All the ponderous trade devices of eivli- zaton: all the tariffs, cartels and momen- tary systems of international exchange which the peoples of the earth have built to facli- tate trade, seen but to have elogged the wheels Now in great quagmire, we. look for something simple: as simple as letting things grow where they do grow and trad ing what we have for what we need.

Desirable Immigrants

More trouble and confusion about those Canadian nurses discharged in Boston. More nurses fired, not because they are not good nurses but because they are not American citizens. Canada will probably retaliate by firing American nurses over there. And then the two countries will proceed to fire each others doctors, preachers, teachers, social workers. etc., just as they are already trying to keep out each others farm and factory products. The Massachusetts state commissioner of health is attacked by Bos- ton critics who say he has been bringing aliens into this country from Canada for years for nursing and similar work.
 If so the commissioner hasn't been doing that country any favor. Canada wants to keep her own people, especially her intelli- gent and educated classes and skilled work CTS. It dstresses her when they leak over the border, lured by higher pay. Regardless of the particular issue at stake in Boston, 1t must be admitted that Canadians in general are, of all immigrants entering this country, perhaps the least undesirable qualities, the last Wiekersham crime report shows they rank just about at the top in low observ- anee. In fact as recent Canadian news sug- gests. they seem to obey our laws better than we obey thers

Hayes For Chairman

' The first reaction of the Hartford Times to the overwhelming victory of Mayor Frank Hayes in the democratic primaries of last week is his availability for the office z of state chairman, now going a-begging. The Times finds that the Hayes triumph over the Kennedy forces by to 1 margin so convincing that there can be no doubt of whom to look to as titular head of the party in Waterbury. Formerly the Times be- ' lieves that this trust rested in either the hands of Ex-Mayor Thoms or Guilfoile. Town Chairman Crary or Senator Joseph H. Lawlor. Now it expects the state leaders to look to Mayor Hayes and Town Chair man Crary for advice.
 That sounds almost as if somebody had been talking to state democratic leaders re- gently. It has been inferred of recent months that the reason Waterbury was ig- nored in various appointments, etc. was the fact that there was really nobody in Water bury whom these leaders could approach All of which is interesting, if true. Then 1t has its funny side too. This placing of Waterbury in the background as far as state honors go has been carried on for a good many years. We can recall as far back as < 1922 when the Lonergan Thoms banners 2, were waving at the state convention. How much consideration did Waterbury get then?
 It certainly will be hard to convince any body in this city that the state leaders didn't know who to approach here. It should be that they did not care to approach anybody being more concerned with their own per sonal interests to the detriment of the party in many instances. Waterbury has always played its part in democratic politics well. It has consistently supported the state and national democratic tickets, while maintain
 ing democratic administration and send ing democratic representatives and senators . to Hartford. In 1850 when the city was not looking for place on the state ticket Controller Leary was drafted.
 ,u Now that Mayor Hayes has shown unmis- takable ability at vote-getting and party or ganization he looms as possible siege gun for the 1o32 state and national campaign. We doubt very much if the city's chief executive is interested in the 'ehairmanShip just at present. He has campaign to go through and if elected he will face the task ,, of continuing his economy program of civic government in the face of continued de- pression and little money with which to pay taxes. A dove is lowering over our city an olive branch in its beak. But We fear these doves even carrying olive branches in r their peaks.

One of the features of the lo3l State Register and Manual which appealed to this writer was the most complete map in the back of the volume. In addition to the smaller map of the counties. congressional and senatorial districts there is much larger one in eolors on which can be found practically everything that one wants to find. There are all sorts of roads, railroad and electric lines. not to mention boundary lines. Rivers. county seats postoffiee villages. tele- graph and express office villages. summer postoffiees. railway stations all have their proper place and are so indicated. Light houses. state parks and forests can be easily found. Then there are fish hateheries and state game sanetuaries not to mention state leased shooting grounds and state-leased streams. There are several airports and seaplane port. The route of the U. S. air mail across the state can be plainly followed. Judging from its general direction 1t fol- lows the line that private interests were hop ing to use in an express toll highway from New York to Boston. If you want to spend a few hours in silent exploration of the state there is no easier way than via the Manual map.

Utilization of the isolation hospital for infantile paralysis cases might cause some difficulty with regard to the continuance of this institution as waiting station for tu- bereulous sufferers. Notice the use of tu- bereulous According to Dr William Brady. the Democrats health columnist tubercular does not necessarily imply tuberculosis. It might mean that the patient was sufferer from some other disease in which the tu- beree germs were present. So we say tuber- eulous as per the doctors orders. However that is beside the point. One wing of the isolation hospital is for patients waiting ad- mission 10 various state sanatoria, The state is now appropriating Sl0.000 annually for care and maintenance of these patients Sup posing there was some objection 10 use of the same hospital for tubereulous and infsn- tile paralysis patients. But then. of course. we doubt if there would be.

THE NEW ENGLAND COUNCIL
 PROTESTS
(Hartford Courant)

The stand that has been taken Massachusetts Chinese Wall" is gratifying. The governor and ex- ecutive council of the Bay State recently decided that it would em- ploy none but native firms to carry out the ambitious program of pub lie works it has undertaken, and accordingly awarded two road con- tracts to Massachusetts companies whose bids were s1e.00o more than those of two Connecticut concerns. Through its executive vice-president, Dudley Harmon, the New England council, standing as 1t does for the utmost freedom of commerce, trade and communi- cation throughout the New Eng land area" has announced that 1t will promptly and vigorously op- pose any tendency to force upon the states or communities any similar restrictive and economical ly unsound measures"
 As Mir Harmon's letter points out the action in Massachusetts Is "an expression of a worldwide ten- dency toward restriction of busi- ness that undoubtedly has played a large part in bringing about economic distress" Moreover, it is this same policy of drawing state lines tighter in the present time of depression that is making more difficult the recovery. Adding. as the Chinese Wall" of Massachu- setts does. directly to the already large burden of the taxpayers, it offers no appreciable benefits in return since Massachusetts already had law providing that only res- idents of that state should be em- ployed on roadwork. Thus Massa- chusetts has increased the cost of her public works by paying what amounts to an unneeded subsidy to her contractors at the risk of mourning reprisals from other states. c
 The New England council is to be congratulated upon the stand 1t has taken. as is the Massachu- setts division for the protest 1t raised when the "Chinese Wall'' policy was first proposed. The community of New England should not be permitted to be threatened
 by the unenlightened action of any single member.

Hackett's Retort

-- Our remarks of last evening anent the
 political battle in the democratic party of
 New Haven were trifle late. Before they }. were on the street Senator Haekett had wig
 sorously replied to the charges that he was playing petty politics with counter charge ,o that Democratic Registrar Thomas E. Cahill was playing the role of political boss,
 whereas he had soemnly averred twelve
 years ago when he assumed office that he c would not mingle in any factional differ 1 enees of his party but would devote his time
 and efforts to keeping the democratic party < lists up to full strength without playing po-
 litical favorites in any contest for nomina- ;- ton.
 =. We didn't think that Senator Haekett , would sit back quietly and take the broad side that was fired at him last week. Know ing him of old we expected retort. His ! letter in which he flays Mir Cahill and his partsanship in fight in which of course, he should be absolutely neutral was that . of man who is perfectly aware of the odds that he must fight to secure the democratic mayoralty nomination. Without entering < into this controversy which will be settled Wednesday night we do think that Senator Haekett came off best in this brief skirmish z and that he should increase his standing in the democratic ranks of New Haven.
 However, he is fighting an organization ! that has the necessary machinery at its com mand with which 10 win a primary fight. It set the primary date at its own oonven- fence. Doubtless it is prepared in more ways than one to overcome the fighting Hackett- Tator group. It should serve 1 notice on these in power though that in time they must make way for men of the Haekett type. Certainly two years ago the democrats had every chance of electing Judge Philip Troup mayor Yet they failed to do so Registrar Cahill didn't blame this defeat upon Senator Hackett, but he did say he worked against Mr Troup. This same statement is denied by the senator We don't think he ever worked against demo- cratic candidate, although we wouldn't blame him if he did after the way he was railroaded into exile some years back
 New Haven ought 10 be in the demo-
 cratic column this fall. Maybe it will be
 whether the mayoralty nominee is Senator
 Hacketf or Alderman Murphy. We imagine
 that both will make admirable candidates
 for the party. but this we know. Senator
 Hackeft has won his spurs as real expo
 nent of democratic tenets in state circles. As
 mayor of New Haven he would be 3 more
 conspicuous figure without sacrificing other
 considerations such as business ability and
 knowledge of civic affairs He is well
 versed in both. If will be Interesting 10

Stopping Overproduction

Two fifths of the nations production of crude oil has been cut off, as the result of the drastic action of the governors of Texas and Oklahoma. The result will be beneficial to the oil industry, which has suf- fered from over production and glut. It has been distressing to see the oil reserves of the nation depleted and wasted, by the excessive competition of producers.
 Nothing is gained in any industry by producing more than can be sold That is particularly true in business like oil, where such product can never be taken out but once. The oil wasted today will be needed at some future day, and We shall be paying high prices for it.
 The checking of the waste of oil seems likely to result in much better prices for this product This result should be a les son to the unhappy producers of wheat and cotton, who will have to use part of their land for other crops if they ever expect to raise the price of these two staples.
