Can the Senate Collect?

War debts happened to be mentioned in the United States Senate the other day, whereupon statesmen of both parties aired their views at some length. Various sen- ators stoutly declared that this country could never under any circumstances be persuaded to cancel or reduce the foreign war debts. If it occurred to speakers that the United States had done good deal of reducing, they failed to mention 1t. The fact is, as anyone who will spend five minutes in research can easily find out, that the United States, in the debt settlements arranged with our allied debtors some years ago, reduced those war debts nearly one-half. Some of then1 for in- stance, the Belgian and Italian debts, have been reduced about three-fourths, when in- terest and principle are reckoned. Even Great Britain, which is paying on the most liberal scale of all, had one-fifth of her debt cancelled.
 There has been great deal of reduction in the German war debt, or separations to the Allies, in the two revisons presided over by American financiers, and the Allies will be lucky if there is not an outright cancella- tion before the world emerges from its present business bog. We sahll be asked to share their losses, in order to avoid German bankruptcy. and help business. All of us want to collect ali the, debts we can. But surely anyone in American public life who imagines that the Allies themselves can col- feet the rest of those German reparations or that they will pay the United States in full according to agreement, when France, the richest of them, has never really begun to pay must have an easy forgetter and an enviable imagination

Wilbur P. Bryan

The death of Wilbur P. Bryan last week recalls his reign as golf champion at the Waterbury Country Club. It was in the days of the old course that Mir Bryan attained his prowess on the links. He retained much of that even in recent years, although other names replaced his op the championship list. He was possessed
 H competitive nature that carried him to Victory many times where it was not be- Iieved that he could be the winner. But Mi Bryan's reputation was based on more than his ability on the golf course.
 < He was above all business man. Early }n life he devoted himself to the task of acquainting himself with his chosen pro- fession. He was still young man when given responsible position in the Colonial Trust Company. with which banking in- sfifution his career began and ended save for < short period with the old Fourth National Bank which was later combined with the Colonial Trust. In the banking field he car lied on the traditions of the family. an old and honored one.

Some Nations Do It

Across the Atlantic lies Great Britain, one of the few countries in the world that really balanced its budget and paid its way during the past year. The close of its fiscal year finds small surplus in the treasury. The miracle was achieved by combination of two methods reduction of expenditures and increase of taxes. Income tax payments amounted to more than was anticipated, be- cause of the heroic response of all citizens Government economics = yes, that IS what the dispatch says - also were more effee- tive than was expected.
 Germany, another nation terribly hit by depression and other troubles, has balanced its budget, too. This was done, says the New York Times, by ''euriously old fashioned method. practically unknown in the United States, namely reduction of ex- penditnres,ps A takes coufage and determi- nation to accomplish such result. Millions of American families are doing it in their private affairs balancing their budgets by cutting down outgo to match income. If they became sufficiently artieulate and de- termined in their demand that governing units do the same doubtless something would be accomplished. The difficulty seems to be to make public officials and legislators realize that expenditures must be cut promptly and thoroughly if taxpayers are to be enthusiastic about their inevitable share of the balancing burden.

It's Meaningless

We knew the Literary Digest poll on lprohibition couldn't end without some re- mark from the dry forces. Every time any ssaeency seeks to prove that the 18th Amend snent isn't proving so much of success, there is counter attack from those who up- hold it. All we'll and good. We'd do the same thing. probably. if we were on that Side of the fence. But when any agency declares that the votes of several million :. people of the United States are meaning less simply because they are on the anti prohbition side, we have to ascribe such Remark to pure bias
 iN The National Prohibition Board of Strat- egy declares that drys do not participate Tn ssmeaningless ballots There are few votes cast by women and church people. We don't Know how the Literary Digest determines the people to whom its ballots will go, but certainly it cannot handpick them to the ex- tent that of close to four million voters the vet majority is just about three to one. We sshallenge any dry organization to- go to the Same expense as the Digest and show diff fcrent trend of popular opinion towards iprohibition. We don't deny dry strength, but in the end the result will be repeal of lit would not be equal to the wet side.
 E Of course. there could be hundred polls like that of the Literary Digest every year and the law would still remain the same. IThe Digest's poll of l930 certainly didn't provoke Congress to a vote on the issue. Nor do we expect that this years vote will cause any such action. But it will gradu- ally impress upon the minds of the prohbl- ton ranks in the nation the futility of trying 10 continue their noble experiment when so
 many peoples are openly opposed to its .Scntinuance. We say this with all serious ness. Such polls as that of the Digest are bound to have their effect in the long run. It may take ten years; perhaps only five. Fit in the end the result will be repal of tie 18th amendment.

will undoubtedly get his signature; the other will be vetoed. It will be interesting to study the reasons that the president will pre- sent for the two actions. However, if he can show how the one can be put aside and the other adopted. he will be more of a. financial wizard than the men who are now struggling with the highest protective tariff this nation has ever known. So high has it gone that even democrats have deserted their old citadels of tariff for revenue only and are busily engaged in destroying the aged principles upon which their party rests. Incidentally the democratic tariff bill contains several features that recommend it highly. namely, the consumers counsel''' amendment and that calling for an interna- tional conference to lower tariff walls.

eumbed last week. He had plunged into the heavy stssk of preserving the financial integrity of this nation when disaster threat ensd it, He had given the best years of his life to his profession. He might have sat back and allowed younger men to assume the burdens that unemplqtment and depres- sion place upon our financial organizations. But that would not have suited man of Mir Bryan's habits and tastes. He accepted this task as willingly as he set himself years ago to the task of climbing to the top of the ladder. Waterbury cannot afford to lose many men of this type unless it has others to take their places. We know there will long be void created by Mir Bryap's death.

Shouse Our Keynoter

he democratic party seems to be depart ing from tradition in seeking to have Jouett Shouse, executive chairman of the demo- dstic national party, deliver the keynote address at the state convention to be held in Hartford next month. It is generally the &stom for the party to give this honor to q member of the state party. We cannot recall when the leaders of the party have had to go outside the state limits for rakeynoter' Of course, the fact that MT Shouse IS expected to attend the gathering may have led the party officers to decide to ask him to give the keynote talk, too
 There is nothing wrong with this idea, save that Connecticut seems to be divided into two democratic camps at this writing. There are those who favor the nomination of Governor Roosevelt for president while others seeks to have former Governor Smith run again. Personally we do not think that such matters should play. any part in the choice of keynote speaker for the state convention at which delegates to the na- tional gathering in Chicago will be chosen. lf designation of Mr Shouse as "keynoter af the May convention is going to influence in any way the delegates to the Chicago meeting then we believe he should not be asked to deliver the keynote address
 < However, 1t must be remembered that MT Shouse as executive chairman of the na- tional party has played an important part in tue revival of the democratic party since its disaster in 1928. Anything he has to say with regard to democratic chances for l932 should be worth hearing. For this reason it might not be bad policy to give him the honor of striking the keynote at Hartford. He will be the guest of honor of the con vention anyway. The party can do no more than pay him the signal honor of giving him rhe most prominent place in the roster of speakers It isn't every state convention that will be SO honored with Mr Shouse' s presence.

Here, There And EDerywhere
THE GEOGRAPHIC BOARD.
(Hartford Courant)

When the roll is called. up yon- der, the members of at least one of the Governments bureaus will surely be chosen, if devotion to a thankless task is to be consider ed. They are the members of the Geographic board, and they settle each year between 2,000 and 2.b00 questions concerning the correct spelling of geographical names in the country. Should the vile lage of Kala1och, Washington, be spelled that way, or are Kalalok or Kalaloque correct? The Geographic board will rule on the matter. An island in Lake Super for went variously by the nanies of Isle Royale, He Royale, and, as usage had it Isle Royal. The Geo. graphic board settled that one. by looking up French usage at the time when the island must have been named. Is it Jourdan or Jor- dan, Mississippi, Brodhead or B fro d h cad Pennsylvania and should there be an "s'' in Enslow, Pennsylvania? The Geographic board knows or can find out.
 It may seem to be small mat ter, this correct spelling of the name of a town, but 1t is such small matters that divide the citi- gems more effectually than the major policies of the Government. The mayor who favors the use of the final "e'' will be supported only by the ''e" faction, and opposed as desperately by the anti-"e" as if the question were one of secession from the Union. The spelling and pronunciation of ones home town or It's features matters tremend- ously. One who lives in the shade of Mount Carmel. Connecticut, it with the accent on the anti-penult, would argue all night with visitor from Carmel, California, pronounced as if writ Carmelle, and the argument would very probably end in murder. Only to those who have never indulged in small town discussions will the work of the Geographic board seem a minor phase of govern ment.

MODERN METHOD OF TREATMENT
 OF HEMORRHOIDS

Lay and medical readers will recall with var ious emotions the conductors characterization of Tonsillectomy (removal of tonsil with gull, lotine and snare or scissors dissection) as 'the old Spanish custom" To-day, am happy to | note. a large share of the better physicians ev- anywhere using advising for their pa tionts the modern diathermy method in prefer ence to the old standard surgical tbnsiI iIIectomy. Nothing so stabilizes physicians point of
 view of these questions of treatment as hav- ing the alment himself. For years believed and practiced the policy of waiting AS hours in cases of appendicitis and then operating if op-
 eration seemed necessary. But when I de- veoped appendicitis myself didn't want to
 wait at all; my anxiety was relieved only
 when was loaded on the little go-cart on my
 way to the operating room. Physicians using
 the diathermy (electro-coagulation} method
 for the tonsils tell me considerable share of their patients are specialists. You see, the throat specialists know something
 Now, please turn with me to a tender sub
 ject-the treatment of hemorrhoids (piles). Heretofore have believed and advised that
 the standard clamp and cautery operation is the, best treatment In this operation the base
 of the swollen infamed varicose vein is seized and constricted in the clamp and the protrud-
 ing mass is either scared off or first sheared off and then scared with the actual cautery-an prefectly good surgery. But now it seems pretty crude.
 Why this sudden change of attitude? ] Well, why have so many good physicians | changed their opinion and practice in respect I to the treatment of varicose veins in the legs | infected tonsils and hernia in recent years
  | have been found practicable.
 Here and there Cat present I know of only a few) physicians treating hemorrhoids with much satisfaction by the injection me- | thod. which need not give any pain and does not detain the patient from ordinary activities. This method has proved great an improve ment upon the standard clamp and cautery
 operation that am confident il. will come into wide among thinking physicians, and ac- l cordingly I am giving the information to the public now If any of the self-const:tuted men, tors or leaders of the profession question the propriety of this, let him dare to criticise me for it. In view of the history of the introduc- | tion of tonsl diathermy to the American pub- | lie I doubt that any medical person of stand ing will venture to voice his disapproval of my promotion" of this injection treatment for hemorrhoids.
 It should be clearly understood that the in- jection treatment is one which any good phy- sician may give in his office It is applicable for internal hemorrhoids only; it is not suitable
 for external hemorrhoids. Internal hemorrhoids constitute perhaps S5 per cent of all trouble
 some cases. I do not give any of these new
 fangled treatments myself, but I should think
 any doctor who attempts them would have to
 receive personal instruction in the technic from a colleague who has had experience with it, in order to apply it successfully.

BIG BILLS AS SOUVENIRS
(Meriden Journal.)

One of our prominent citizens paid bill in store the other day with old large-size paper money. remarking jocosely: You can see how nearly strapped am when I have to part with souvenirs"
 That remark may explain in part for the fact that approximately $575, 100000 of the old currency has not been returned to the treas ury department for cancellation.
 It has been over two and half years since the department called in the old bills. Probably many have been lost, burned, or other wise destroyed. In any event. there has been a steady slowing down in the retirement of the bills as the outstanding amount dim inished. When they were first called in, in June, 1929, extra clerks had to be employed to count and sort them and the mas- cerating machine that destroyed them was worked overtime. Now the redemption can be handled easily by the regular force.
 It is a mystery where all the old style bills are keeping them selves. Perhaps they have joined the mollfons of dollars in Liberty Bonds that have been caleld in but are still out. Some people will always be careless with money re- gardless of how. much they love it.
