1t is wonder that the state highway. de-
partment never actually decided to build the
proposed Bristol Waterbury road via Bucks
Hill. Years ago route was practically
chosen. If it had been started then the two
cities would today be within thirty minutes
committing distance. In addition, sections
between the two places that are so remote as
to isolate them would have been
brough that much nearer to civilization.
Also. it might facilitate traffic to and
from Waterbury's airport %, which now
must be reached from the Thomaston road.
We understand that the street departments
of both Waterbury and Bristol are ready to
cooperate by working on those sections of
the route within their respective town linn
its, but it would be better all around if the
proposed route could be included in the
state highway system. Furthermore. if the
city should ever secure this state road it
ought never to request the highway depart
ment for the right for its supervision or
maintenance. That was done in the case of

THE CApoNE BUNK.

Just why cheap and cowardly
murderer--who happens through
the breakdown Of Illinois justice
and the accident Of federal inter-
vention to be in Cook County jail
instead OF on his way to the gal
-lows-should be given major at
tention in the Lindbergh case by
American newspapers, we do not
know.
we refer to Alphonse NCapone
and his offer to do his bit" to
bring back the Lindbergh baby.
This Capone, like the rest of
them, is cheap little crook, a
wholesale murderer, who has been
turned up out of the slime Of a
great city, only because high-pow-
cred guns and other mechanical
devices of a mechanical age have
made II possible for little men to
put up brave fronts behind steel
barbados and machine guns.
All of us tolerated Col. Lind
bergh's move to use the New York
gangsters, because we felt deeply
for him in his distress, and could
have no censure for anything to
which he thought he could pip
hope.
but tHOSe SdH6sterS are pchhb
thoroughly debated. They have
done nothing except to get their
pictures in the papers along with
a lot of lush nonsense about their
lives as big Shots
Now this Capone stuff Is too
much. We sincerely hope that
Col. Lindbergh doesn't deal with
his cheap Chicago show-off. and
We don't think he will.
AS for this newspaper, we will
continue to give Capone in this
case just about the mention his
underhand attempt to deal him.

will be very little.
The United Press, which serves
this newspaper. has already de-
clared against the glorrfication of
the Capone story, in fact. refused
even to honor it with publication
when 1t first came out as rumor.
Reading of our columns today
will clearly indicate that we do not
give much value as news to this
cheap bunk out OF Chicago, which
is exactly DIR feeling.

Washington--Thre governments
are now being treated by the Unit
ed States as IL they were non-ex-
istent. They are the governments
holding power in Soviet Russia,
Salvador and Manchuria.
Representatives of the Ameri-
can foreign service are on the job
in Salvador and Manchuria, but
they can have no official dealings
with the new revolutionary regime
of Salvador or the new govern
ment at Changchun which has
been set up by the Japenese.

their obligation Of protecting AM

In Russia We Do without.
In Russia we get along without
any official representatives. We
yanked the last ones out soon af-
ter the Soviet government was es-
tablished. Thanks. doubtless, to
our attitude toward the Soviet
as demonstrated by the Siberian
Invasion, non recognition and
other measures-it became quick
ly apparent that they weren't the
least bit welcome any more. Their
withdrawal was a safety measure
as much as anything.
The government of Manchoukuo,
which is what the Japanese finally
decided to call the huge slice Of
Manchurian and Monaghan terri
tory they had taken by armed

ment, no matter how long 1t sur
wives.
Its 400-word cablegram re-
questing our recognition has been
SO completely ignored that receipt
of the message hasn't even been
officially admitted.
Everyone knows that Henry
Pu-Yis government Is merely a
false front for Japanese control
and no one supposes that 1t would
last overnight II the Japanese
withdrew their military support.
Secretary Stimsons letter to Sen.
ator Borah asserted that no peace
settlement based on force would
be recognized by the United
States and the assertion Is cited
in the Manchurian case.
League Supports Us.
That's one instance where we
are supported in non-recognition
by European powers, for the
League Of Nations had adopted a
resolution to similar effect.
But other powers have long
since found it desirable to revive
diplomatic relations with Russia
and lately the state department
has been excited over the posi-
bility that the British and French
might recognize the present Sal
vadoran government while we held
aloof.
Martinez was vice president
elect and minister of war In the
cabinet of President Araujo,
chased from Calvador by the
revolution late last year. We don't
recognize him because the Central
American treaties, an important
point in our Latin-American pol
icy which led to that miss In
Nicaragua which we got into in
1927, prescribe recognition of a
government created by coup d'etat
or of any new president who was
in the cabinet of the deposed presi-
dent.
