Conserving Wild Life

Timely action by both the federal and state governments is needed to protect this coun- try's diminishing supplies of wild life. so the report of the senates special committee on wild life resources states. The report was sub mitted this week by Senator Frederic C. Wal colt of Norfolk, who is chairman of the body. It was prepared by Senator Harry B. Hawes of Missouri. Other members include Senators Pittman. McNary and Norbeok. People fa- mliar with the senate will realize that this body of men was well chosen. After reading the full report, if one is fortunate enough to secure copy of it, anyone should be con- vinced of this fact.
 As Senator Walcott points out there IS need of systematized program of wild life conservation in place of the spasmodic efforts now made. We know that occasionally enough strength IS mustered in congress to appropriate funds for the purchase of bird animal refugees. Migratory birds have been given special legislative aid of late years. Some states, New York seems to be the leader among them. have gone just as far in providing game refuges, in stocking streams and lakes with native fish, and in creating state parks and forests that afford the native wild life the clements to which they are accustomed,
 It is a pity that the committees report comes now just when the country IS conscious of nothing except what the WIckersham, or wicked sham" as Representative James M. Beck calls it, commission had to say on pro- hibition law enforcement. A more propi- tious moment might have been chosen for pre- sentation of its findings and recommenda- tions. However, the committee is moved by the fact that for this nation to delay in pro- tecting wild life is to cause the extermnation of some species of bird. animal or fish life. Such things as deforestaton. fire, drainage. d case. water pollution. and the expansion of agricultural and industrial sites are cited by the committee as contributing to the decrease in wild life.
 We think as do Senator Walcott and his as sociates tbat there are millions of people in the United States who would like to see national program adopted to preserve native wild life. But there seems to be a perplexty of purpose with so many individuals, asso- cations. and states working for conservation The time is here for united effort. says Senator Waleott. The government can do some good right at this point by directing this united effort along one main line. The people need to be educated to conservation, those who don't know what it IS or why it should be praoticed. And one way 10 educate the peo pie is to remind state legislatures that their states are composed of many clements one of which is native wild life.

Some Insects We Like

The honeybee and silkworm are not the only insects that work for mankind. A group known as the "lac insects" for instance. se- crete a wax from which shellac is made. Lady bird beetles have long been used to de- stroy various kinds of plant parasites. The lantana bug, enemy of weeds. is a boon to Hawaiian farms and growers. There are other insects equally helpful, according to the Federal Department of Agriculture.
 Entomologists of New Zealand recruit whole armies of the mealy bug and various insects to war on the cactus growth which IS real menace to agriculture, and to destroy troublesome blackberry bushes. Parasites of dangerous insects are bred by county hortieul- tural departments in California and employed to attack pests on English walnut and citrus trees.
 Even the medical profession makes use of insects The blister beetle. when dried and ground into powder, acts as an irritant to stimulate blood circulation near the skin. A rich scarlet dye was once made from fluid produced by eochneal insects, but the aniline dye industry has superseded the manufacture of cochineal.

Women Flyers Prepare

Patriotic but a little over-Zealous is the newly organized Betsy Ross Corps, group of American women pilots formed for the purpose of serving their country in national emergencies in peace or war. The com mander of the corps explains: The Betsy Ross Corps is not organized with any idea of training women to become wartime combat pilots, but rather to serve as sort of auXll- iary aerial motor corps. Specifically. we are striving to develop flying reserve of girls who can be called on to take over such jobs as flying the mail, carrying dispatches. ferry ing new planes from the factory to the zone of actual combat and poting aerial ambu- lances, thus releasing valuable flying men for service at the front.
 Of course there are to be uniforms some thing modest and noonspicuous, with sum mer training camps. and so on. This is all very thoughtful of the girls. Anything that will increase womens interest in aviation and improve their own flying skill is fine. But talk of an actual war zone and releasing fly ing men for service at the front sounds alittle spectacular and premature.

Monte Lemann, the lone Wlckersham com mission member who failed to sign the report. IS the hero of New Orleans today His fe- low townsmen regard his stand on prohibition and also upon the commission report as the outstanding one. Oddly enough Monte Lemann has never sought the attention of the public. but We can't see how he will avoid it henceforth. As successful lawyer he IS known far and wide in Louisiana. He re- ceived bis law training at Harvard university after graduating from Tulane University He returned to this institution and is still law instructor at it. In fact all bis time is divided between his law classes and office in New Or leans. He has never mixed in politics and probably never would had not Governor Huey P. Long and Senator Joseph E. Rans- dell engaged in a hot senatorial battle last year. Lemann felt called upon to aid his friend Senator Ransdell. and be did so to the extent of writing one letter in behalf of the senator However. it looks as if President Hoover didn't make q mistake in picking Monte Lemann. He considers outright repeal the sole solution. as does Newton D. Baker Perhaps time will prove him right.

Democrats Ignored

Just how well the republicans are organ ized in the present general assembly and what chances the democrats have of getting proper representation was revealed in the vote taken Tuesday on the motion of Representative Roy I. Kmmel of North Stonington, dem ocrat. calling for reconsideration by the speaker of the committee assignments. He was defeated by vote of l9l to 68, one Of the leading democrats of the house John A. Markham of Hartford, voted with the repub- lieans. just why. is hard for anyone to explain. Perhaps his defeat for the minority leadership had something to do with it. We were pleased. to see that the two Waterbury repre- sentatives voted for the resolution. MT Thoms of our own city and Mir Markham were the only two democrats to be named for the judiciary committee.
 The democratic representatives have no representation on many of the important committees. such as cities and boroughs. roads, rivers and bridges etc. In other words. if any matter concerning the city of Waterbury comes before the assembly it will be handled by body of men, most of whom come from the small towns of the state. City iepresen- tatives. as rule. have always been kept in the background in the committee assignments of the Connecticut General Assembly, but with the son of States Attorney Hugh Aeorn of Hartford county as speaker, 1t was felt in many circles that he would ignore the dictates of the machine and appoint as he saw fit Ap- parently. this means that the same old proced- ure will be taken. and that in spite of the large representation of democrats in both branches of the assembly they will get little more than they have received at past sessions.
 All of which makes the argument stronger than ever that the governor should name only democrats to all of the offices he is called upon to appoint. no matter what. as it will take an even greater democratic sweep in Con- nectiout to get rid of the whole -hoggng habit of the republican machine. Under this sys- tenn Governor Cross will get only what the law actually allows but extending the olive branch to Connecticut republican legislator is about as practical as trying to coax mad bull to eat out of your hand. You just can ,et nowhere with those critters nohow.

THE GOOD OLD ENGLISH
(New York Herald-Tribune. ,

(New York Herald -Tribune.)
 The good old days were certain. old. but 1t is open to argumc. whether they were ever good. T English Folk Cookery association opening an exhibition in London traditional English dishes; but tn sponsors of the exhibit offer litti but patriotism to prove their assei tion that true old English cooker, almost dying of neglect to-day. is its tradition the best in the world.
 Was English cooking ever good The English bards and story teller so maintain; but, after all. thel judgment was provincial and limited We do not recall reading thai Frenchmen who visited England 1T, the good old days went into ecstasie. over that red beef and Yorkshire pudding which are still dear to the English heart. Voltaire wrote | book in which he praised almos; everything else in England, but ht neglected the English cook. We sus. .pect that the low prestige of British cooking to-day is due to two causes: {: the flood of English tourists who cross the Channel and acquire a comparative standard, and the influx of American tourists. At last the sad plaints of Americans wearied by cabbage and the Yarmouth bloaters stewed gooseberries, raw beef, bread sauce and watery sustance called vegetable marrow are beginning tc sink into the British national cor sciOusness.
 An awareness of the importance of good cooking is a healthy symp. tom in the British body polite. Bu. there may be better ways of remedy ing matters than digging up tho cookbooks of past ages. The re- port of the Folk Cookery Exhibit which notes recrudescence of "burying cake" said to resemble 2 Scotch pie crust filled with a rich mixture of dried fruits. for instance. fills us with horror. Let the various varieties of English burying cake re main buried; the English shoulf learn that in the kitchen. at least patriotism is not enough.

Connecticut might follow the example of Massachusetts in speedboat regulations. The committee on public safety of the Bay State legislature reported favorably this week bill which would force speedboats 10 throttle down to speed of seven miles an hour when near bathing beaches. wharves landings and anchorage. In addition anybody under 16 years of age will not be permitted to operate speedboats on waters of the commonwealth. The state police head also asks that it be com pulsory for all speedboats to be registered. In this state motorboat owners are licensed simi- larly as are automobile owners. but there isn't enough regulation on the states ponds and lakes to protect people from such dangers as being dumped out of canoes or rowboats or swimmers being endangered by the proximity of speeding boats. The complaint seems to be pretty general.

Senator Vandenberg of Michigan has made a novel survey of the states in regard to con- gressonal reapportionment that would give Connecticut seven instead of six representa- tives or two additional members in congress. Senator Vandenberg bases his apportonment on popular vote for president in 1928. Many critics of the proposed reapportionment plan declare that aliens should be eliminated from the figures. Considering only voters. says Senator Vandenberg even more startling results could be attained. Massachusetts would gain four seats in this way. Rhode Island Connecticut, and Vermont. one each. and the other two New England states would remain as is.

 True, the new commissions work has been facilitated by some changes in the flex- ible clause. And members may be spurred by the necessity for speed in remedying, n- justices of the l930 bill. becoming more gar- ing with worldwide depression. The duty on watches was increased approximately oo per cent, a blow to Switzerland who sells ZO per cent of her watch production in the United States. Italy was hurt by increases on hats, gloves, and silk fabrics. Spain has suffered because we raised the duty on olive oil by two cents a pound An entirely new duty on shoe upper leather of , per cent struck at Canada, Great Britain the Netherlands. Belgium. France and Czechoslovakla.
 France. who is now paying over S3O,- 100000 annually on Der debts to the United States. and who under our prohibition re- gime has lost the American market for her wines, cognac and liqueurs can no longer count on our market for her luxury articles. Frances exports of these articles to America fell off by millions of dollars during l93O. according to the American Consul General Leo J. Keena in Paris, while the total decline Tn all exports amounted to $54,288,O0O.
 French mushrooms and eheeses also bear unreasonable import duties. It should be re- membered that in 1929 France sold to us only SI2O, 100000 worth of goods. although she bought from this country to the amount of S28O.OOO,OOO. Perhaps these facts will explain why our exports trade for 1850 had the smallest value for any twelve months since 1922 and showed drop of Sl,399,788,OOO from 1929.
