DEBT CANCELLATION

Giving attentive ear to the voice of the
people. President Hoover informed debtor
nations that they must pay their December
installments. A temporary relief is held
out to them by waving the payment in
gold requisite to the fulfilment of the con-
tractual obligation and permitting the pay
ment in the present deprecated currency.
This concession is a great loss to the Amer
lean people but it can be borne, and the
political leaders of both parties have ac-
quisced
While the plea has long been made
that only by cancellation of war debts
and war PREPARATIONS can Europe be re-
stored to economic stability, this plea
seems somewhat specious in view Of the
persistence of these debtor nations in main
tanning huge armies and navies, and their
failure to agree upon a reduction in these
expensive armed forces.
If the European nations will not pay,
there is nothing much that Uncle Sam can
do about it. Certainly we are not going to
war for the sake of few billions of dol
lars. Unless the nations will meet our de-
mands for armament reduction and better
trade arrangements, we shall probably let
the matter rest while longer.
Even holding this debt over the heads
of foreign governments may have potent
influence for world peace, because new
war would have to be financed somehow,
and we would hardly lend more money for
a new war. before the former one has been

EFFIcrENcY-Eco NoMY- SERVICE

In boom times extravaganza govern
ment is luxury we can't afford.
In normal times it is drag on indus
try and the individual, acting as barrier
to progress that would otherwise be
achieved.
In depressed times, it is one of the
greatest obstacles we must hurdle in the
work of recovery-an obstacle creating
more unemployment, more mortgage fore
closures, more business failures, deeper
depression.
Soon congress will again convene. 1t
will have before it many bills, most of
which will deal with the problems of de-
preston. It will have as it's duty the adj
vancement of recovery which has already
started There is no way it could be of
greater service to us all than to reduce the
cost of government.
It can do that without in the least
harming the real. the necessary functions
of government. 1t can eliminate useless
and duplicating bureaus, archaic commits
sions, purposeless departments within de-
partments. It can cut millions from the
budget Doing that would not only help
relieve the tax burden--it would set a
sorely-needed example to states and NUM-
cipalities, which cost us great deal more
than does the government at Washington
Efficiency, economy, service-those
are the watchwords of progressive bust
nesses now. They must likewise be the
watchwords of government, in all its
branches.

PROSPERITY SUICIDES

Suicides these days are usually attri-
buted to hard times. Reading of them IN
the newspapers, one gathers the impress
sion that they have greatly increased in
the past year or two and that the depres-
sion is the direct cause. Statistics gathered
by the Metropolitan Life Insurance Com
pany suggest something quite different,
During the years of the World War
and for several years following IT, suicide
rates were well below the so-called normal
level The lowest point of recent decades
occurred in 1920. An Increase in suicides
began in 1925 and rose rapidly through the
prosperous years 1928 and 1929. Today
the suicide rate in New York is lower than
it was in relatively prosperous years at the
beginning of the century. Other countries
throughout the world experienced the
same decrease during the war. The ex-
element and adventure apparently took
peoples minds off their own personal
troubles and discouragements.
If that is the explanation for COM
paratively few suicides from 1915 to 1926,
what is the explanation for the many sui
cides Of the prosperous boom years? The
Survey Midmonthly suggests an answer by
asking q question: Does not social disil-
lusionment as well as individual adversely
lie behind the rising numbers Of men and
women who quit the gamer"

Period to Win, 10 to I
Especial to The Democracy


Naugatuck, Oct 1.-THE Thomas
ton Ponies eliminated the ALL
Naugatuck eleven from the state
semi-pro championship scramble
yesterday afternoon at Recreation
field before 200 odd fans in an in
teresting game, 10 to z.
Outplayed for three periods and
unable to stop the aerial attack Of
the home club, the Little Horses
opened up in the final period and
scored two touchdowns to sew UP
the encounter. Milo Morton scored
the winners first six-pointer in the
second period. Taking the ball on
Naugy's 34-yard line, the Ponies ad-
vanced Is yards on a penalty and
then Morton skirted right end for
the score. Fill added the extra
point with a placement.
The Naugy boys tied the score
a few minutes afterwards. On a
series of forward passes, Emmett
Carroll tossing them ala Harry
Newman, the ball landed on the
Ponies 24-yard line. A pass Carroll
to "Red" Stapleton over the goal
line gave the Garnet their first and
last score. Stapleton executed a
beautiful catch OF the sphere catcn-
ing it after a running dive. Louie
Triano missed the placement but
the Ponies were detected off side
and on the next play the Ponies
were caught sleeping, awaiting an
other placement, Carroll crossed
up the dope and shot a pass to
Stapleton for the extra mark.
The third period found neither
team scoring. In the last quarter
Naugy fumbled the kickoff and
Thomaston recovered. Two line
plunges were followed by an aeri-
al, Fill to Bertnagle who scored
A few minutes later Fill went over
again after a courtyard plunge

To-day's Sport
Parade
BY HENRY McLRMoRE


Omitted Press STAR Correspondent
New York, Oct 17.--(UP)-The
highest compliment possible was
paid to the Army-Pittsburg game
OF Saturday by one Of the CUSTOM
ers who, at the close of the contest,
turned to a neighbor ana said: ut
was worth the climb"
The climb referred to Is that
back-breaking mountain trail as
cension necessary to reach Niche
Stadium, where the Army does its
footballing. The train from New
York drops it's West Point custom
ers right on the banks Of the
Hudson. The stadium is on the ex-
act center Of a nearby peak that
lacks only a few feet and a couple
OF bucketfuls of snow to double
for Mount Everest.
More than one man has arrived
Tor an Army game only to take
q look at that climb and pull out
a deck Of cards and start game
of solitaire. And many Of the
harder souls who essay the climb
regret, after about the first hour,
that they didn't stay behind, and
kibits the solitaire player. The as
cension to Niche Stadium is divid-
ed, roughly into four stages.
The first half hour Of scrambling
through the underbrush brings one
to the mezzanine. Another steady
80 minutes Of pounding through
the beeches, cedars and scrub red
woods and you're at the first bal
cony. This point is some three
miles above sea level and is known
as the Lookout" 1t is called the
Lookout" because a corps of
trained Army observers is stationed
here to sweep the surrounding
country for exhausted stragglers.
After an hour of rest here, you
are usually ready to head up that
the top balcony. This is generally
lap Of them all for its natural
hardships are doubled by several
items. One of these items is the
presence of regular soldiers scat
tered here and there through the
bushes. 1t Is their business to see
that none Of the climbers pick the
we'll defined trails that lead up the
mountain. Let a climber sidestep
a bramble brush or a boulder big
enough to be Gibraltar's blood
brother, and a soldier will step out
and order the spectator to go back
and fight through the bramble.
scramble over the boulder. An
other heart-breaking item on this
lap Is that paved road runs
alongside 1t. It is very damaging
to the morale of the climbers as
they sweat and toll up the precipit-
GUS slope to see a general and his
lady whizz by in the luxurious
depths of a limousine.
The fourth lap, from the top
balcony to the peanut" where the
stadium is perched, is not so bad.
For by the time the balcony Is
reached the back had developed
so many aches, the legs so many
twinges, the arms so many pains.
and the rest of you SO many mis-
cries, that nothing matters. To
quit and lie down with your flask
and blankets is impossible. For
the sight Of the banners fiuttering
atop the stadium and the yell Of
the crowd spurs you on, and you
stagger toward your seat like a
thirsty man on the desert heading
for an oasis.
We got a great break Saturday.
As we collapsed into our seat done
for, as we thought. for the day,
we caught q sight of Norma
Ehearer just three rows away. And
one sight of Norma in that blue
Bingham or dotted Swiss or Gre
tonne rig she had on, and we felt
