Seaway Started

Canada celebrated the other day. the official opening of the new Welland Ship Canal. This might be regarded as really the opening of the Great Lakes Seaway, be- cause the Welland is the first big unit of the projected St. Lawrence channel to the sea for deep-draught vessels. Canada started years ago to realize her maritime destiny without waiting for a formal treaty. Uncle Sam has done likewise with some smaller and less expensive units. All these are to be duly credited in the proposed settlement.
 The big feature of Canada's dedication ceremony is a fine eye-opener as to the purpose and possibilities of the seaway. The Lemoype, flagship of the Canada Steamship Lines, steamed through in state and took the locks without hitch. She is the worlds largest grain carrier with a rec ord of 57l.885 bushels in single cargo. She also holds the record for the biggest single csrga of coal. l6,538 tons. These records were established respectively in 1929 and .l930.
 The Lemoyne is Canadian built. She is s63 feet long 70 feet wide and zo feet deep, with registered tonnage of l0,480. What the Lemoyne does now. other steamships flying the Stars and Stripes will be doing within few years. on q bigger scale.

Ho0-Conscious

Chicago has always been corn conscious end hog conscious. Now New York is getting that way A metropolitan writer says that. for the first time in years. the importance of hog prices is being borne in upon the financial district. Wall Street is waking up. When it recognizes the funda- mental importance of farm products and farmers along with, Chicago and Kansas City and New Orleans there is new hope.
 We may talk as we will about prosperity and depression being industrial. but the fact remains that economic conditions in the country as whole are determined very largely by rural conditions. Most of our depressons in the past have been associated with loss of buying power on the farm. and most of our prosperity waves have start ed with improvement in the market for farm products.

Rsady-cut Wooden House.


 The lumber people are not going to let the steel and enamel interests get ahead of them in devisihg inexpensive. factory-built houses. They have designed a unit house of three rooms which may be expanded by two to four rooms later. Their house may be bought resdy-eut from the lumber yard and assembled on lot in few days or few hours with no surplus waste material to pay for. The unit house would cost so little that it would be within the reach of fam ilies with incomes around S2.000 year. A ready-eut frame cottage of this type has recently been set up in Longview. Washing ton. as an experiment. Six carpenters and a helper erected it in six hours.
 All of these projects are in the expehmen- tai stage. Some of the designs made SO far have been criticised as needlessly monoton- ous and unattraetive. Itis possible that they might be popular without the clements of variety and beauty. People longing for homes of their own might accept standard ized house eheerfully enough. proposing to give it individuality and charm later by means of flowers and shrubs and interior decoration. But if the idea is good one and workable even with boxlike. designs. it should be stilLmore satisfactory and more popular if beauty is worked in along with utility, speed of erection and eheapness.

Rural-Urban See-Saw

Government estimates indicate that while l.472,00O Americans last year moved from the country to the city. l;679 900 moved from the city to the country. Thefe IS always considerable turnover in this sort of migration, The interesting thing about the present figures is that they show a net gain of more than 100000 for the country, whereas for many years before the city was gaining The drift is still stronger now. It should cause no surprise if farms and rural villages this year gain as many as half million from the cities. At present agri culture, with all it's disabilities, looks more attractive than industry.
 The Chicago Tribune, asks: Can this mean that the American people retain some of the initiative for which they used to be renowned the world over? Can it mean that the American people, if left alone to adjust themselves to changed conditions, could solve their problem without the advice. the aims or the coercion of the central govern ment?"
 It probably does Here is such migra- ton as has occurred at various times in American history, in similar circumstances, people leaving city jobs to work for them selves in the country. The difference is that they formerly went West Now there are no more good western public lands. Fortu- nately there are reasonably good private lands available in almost every part of the country. So the settlers merely filter out of town. in most cases. to adjacent farm land. in quest of greater security and eoo- homie independence than industry can offer them.

A Book a Day
by BRUCE CATION
The Regulars, It Seems, Are
 A Tough Bunch

| The old-timer of the regular army never got g better portrait than is given in This Side of He'll" by Lowell Thomas. 1, This is the story, 'ghosted" by MT Thomas, of Dan Edwards.1 who went overseas with the First Division, went into action with the first American contingent to face the Germans, won "a Con- gressional Medal of Honor and countless other decorations for bravery and finally came home minus an eye and an arm and plus a shattered leg and innumerable scars.
 Edwards had served hitch in the regulars before the war. He had also been a cowboy, a tramp football player, a seaman on a whaler, a, solder of fortune in Mexico, and various other things. He seems to have been the typi- cal regular-typical of all armies, from the time of Caesar on down. The old-tine regular was. and is, 8 peculiar citizen; boisterous. rough, given to hard drinking andI riotous living, se-hardened and willy, irreverent and profane, win ming prCnotlon on his merits and then getting 'busted" for break ing all the rules of God and man
 -and, with 1t all. a truly mag nificent fighting man.
 You'll find all of this in Dan Edwards story. The things he did under fire are almost incredibly stirring: but the best part of the book is his picture of the hard bitten. supremely capable regular soldier. the man who has been the backbone of every. army since the Romans conquered Gaul.
 This Side of Hell'' is pub- lished by Doubleday, Doran & Co. for $250.

Conservatorship

Mayor Quigley would establish a virtual conservstorship in New Britain judging by what is being said and done in the Hard ware City The eventual solution of New Britsin's financial problems is going to be of the greatest importance to every other community in the state. Most of them are faced by similar problems in greater or less degree. Most of them may be guided by what is done in New Britain or else induced to adopt other means of balancing their budgets and making the tax burden of their citizens easier.
 Mayor Quigley thinks that the large corporations of New Britain should lend the city sufficient money to pay the back bills of the welfare department. They amount to something over S2OO.000. No doubt there are public spirited citizens of New Britain who might be glad to underwrite this debt, since it is almost assured that at some time the city will be able to pay off all its debts. But whether or not these same citizens would feel like coming forward and being the fairy godfathers when the efty metnOdS or dealin8 Wltn the eCo- homie situation are under fire is another thing.
 If we aren't mistaken there were several rianufaeturers of note, representing these same large corporations to which. Mayor Quigley referred on 2 recent investigating committee whose report on the work of the relief board was far from complimentary. The squabble aroused statewide attention. Now it might be difficult to enlist the aid or even the sympathy of the large corpora ions sufficiently to induce them to con- tribute moneyte pay municipal bills. We ars afraid that the city is going to have to struggle along as best as it can through turbulent period in the coming months. It will have to hold tight rein on all civic expenses as most cities are now doing. It wil have to make one penny do the work of several. And it probably will have to 20 heavily in debt. The cities that are for tunate enough not to do this at this crisis are to be congratulated. Those not so for tunate certainly can't be condemned for conditions over which they had little or no control.

We. think that Colonel Lindbersh is perfectly justified in asking for a publicity ban on the activities of his new son. In statement issued this week he declared that We feel that our children have a right to grow up normally with other children. Continuous publicity will make this im- possible. I am appealing to the press to per- init our children to lead the lives of normal Americans. :" That's a plea that eer' tainly every newspaper owher and publisher in the country ought to heed. After the tragedy of his first born the least we can do is to withdraw the spotlight from this second youngster.

times just as a hale, heaty out
 door man with clothes on. Con-
 yincing evidence, as he must have well known that, he was not physi- i cally unfit for the presidency. Dramatic also was his challenge i to Hoover for personal confer
 ence prior to negotiation of the St
 Lawrence waterways treaty. It was
 an unheard of thing and Hoover, 1 the conservative, promptly refused to participate--as gracefully and Icondescendingly as possible. But
 Roosevelt had grabbed the head lines just the same.
 Meanwhile, the governor at AL
 bany has been treating the coun- | try to passing show of visiting industrialists, railroad executives,
 bankers, rich men and former
 eastern political foes--as if to
 show the voters how ridiculous it
 was for the republicans to call him
 a radical.
 A Blow at Hoover And the Walker-Seabury show, staged on the day of Hoover's &C., ceptance speech when it was bound to compete with if not to bury the presidents first campaign blast in- solar as publicity was concerned, is
 the master stroke to date. Roose-
 welt must have enjoyed that one
 the bitter personal conflict between the wisecracking, slippery. dapper little New York mayor and the
 urbane, inpeccable, relentless but politically ambitious prosecutor,
 both of whom were at Chicago do-
 ing what they could to keep Roose- welt from that democratic nomina- tion. now helping him take a sock at Hoover. And at the same time Roosevelt, the master snowman, was build- ing himself up before the country
 for the big act in which he would
 take final action on the case of
 Jimmy Walker.

A serious situation exists in Portugal due to our production of wine in l93l and the country is looking to the United States to rectify it. We don't know any European country. or Asiatic for that matter. that doesn't look to the United States to cure all it's economic ills whenever beset by them. We're sort of fairy godmother to the lowly or depressed. It may be eompli- ment. but sometimes it's burden. However. Portugals appeal in our direction is noth- ing to worry the majority of us. It is based on an assumption. namely. that the prohibition will shortly be amended to permit sale of wines here. In this event Portugal is prepared to unload its over, supply on us at an extremely low price.
