THE. IMPORTANCE OF PLEASANT
SURROUNDINGS

This season has produced a host
of new and beautiful wall-cover-
ings; patterns and co1ors to suit
every taste; modernistic, conven-
tional: washable. And all wall
papers are distinctly lower in price.
Walls may be treated in a variety
Pf manners. Painted plaster, rough
plaster finishes, painted canvas,
natural wood panelings. applied
holdings. Each is in vogue, and
zach has its decorative advantages.
The uses of paint in the interior
hnd on the exterior of the home
hre too numerous to mention. 1t
should be added, however, that a
bit of paint, skillfully applied, costs
less and does more for the home
Than any other single factor. Let
your painter and decorator help
you.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1932-04-08
A General Freshening-Up

If your home has reached the in
between stage that demands atten-
ton, yet not complete redecorating.
it is suggested that you have your
decorator estimate on a 'freshen-
ing-up" job. This will be reason
able, and very satisfactory. Your
walls and woodwork can be wash
ed, your wall paper cleaned, and
your ceiling calcimined.
Dark woodwork may be either
shellaced and waxed, or vanished.
This should be done when needed.
Floors should receive similar at
tention. II your floors are badly
worn, they should be refinished. In
the case of light floors, they can
be finished dark which is more
fashionable.

Bill had played only long stands,
in Boston, at the fair, and in an

ID to a consolidation with an

transport the Buffalo Bill Show
and provide a canvas arena for

1.-THE arena was not a covered
tent like the circus top. 1t was
more like a canvas walled and

This IS the FIRST Of a series Of three

WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.-An un-
paralIeled flood Of gold and credits
totaling s10,296, 900, 900 flowed from
America to Europe between 1917 and
1920, inundating the central powers
and bearing the allies to victory.
Now the world is wallowing about
in the quagmire left by that flood.
Once prosperous nations pray for
relief from debt payments. The
United States is inportuned to be
lenient creditor, as it was ready
lender.
Congress will be asked by Presi-
dent Herbert Hoover soon to de-
eide whether this country shall try
to collect in full or reduce payments
in the interest of European economic
recovery.
Thus the American people are
brought face to face once more with
the debt problem they thought had
been solved by the funding negotia-
lions Of 1925.
Wilson Asked Liberal Credits"
After entering the war, April 6,
1917, America was eager at once to
throw its weight against the CEN
trail powers. For the moment 1t
could neither man trenches nor
hunt German submarines. But al
most at once it began to advance
what the impoverished allies needed
most-money and supplies.
In his first war message, Presi-
dent Woodrow Wilson asked con-
gress to extend Americas allies
"the most liberal credits, in order
that our resources may so far as
possible be added to theirs"
Four acts passed by congress in
1917 and 1913 made this possible.
Later, other acts, authorized sale
of war material to the allies on
credit. AS a result, these advances
were made:
Great Britain ............. 81, 1886. i 90, 00G

How was the money used? In
hundreds Of ways. A recent analysis
of treasury figures by the. Brookins
institution, economic research CEN
ter indicates, however, that the
bulk of it was used for munitions,
cotton, foreign exchange, cereals and
other foods. Some of the money
was spent to pay interests on pri-
vate loans the allies obtained here
before the United States entered the
war.
Two Principles Stressed
The greater part of the funds,
81 100000 was advanced during
the actual course of the war. After
the armistice $2,387 100000 was
loaned TO aid Europe in settling
war accounts and in rehabilitation.
Two principles were kept con-
stantly in mind by the treasury In
making the loans. 49,.
l. That each nation should as
sumo responsibility for the money
advanced 20 it. No funds were put
into an "allied war pool" Every
dollar was covered by promise to
pay. The treasury never regarded
the money as a gift, official docu-
ments show.
2. That money should be ad-
vanced only for meeting payments
due in the United States. With a
few exceptions, this principle was
preserved.

 In the first issue of the New Outlook Alfred E. Smith makes what is regarded as his major pro- Inouncement regarding the National campaign.
 He does not sound exactly like the Al Smith i've used to know on the hustngs, but possibly he is merely getting into fighting shape.
 He is his old self in his mirror clear vigorous assault upon the Republican international policy; No man in friendly spirit sends the sheriff after his neighbor'; upon the tariff; upon Prohibihion- We have reached a new stage in the Prohibition battle. Dry strategy will not agree on any thing specific If the fight keeps long enough and the vets gain in representation there will be serious drive for cutting out all enforce ment moneys in the budget
 He puverizes President Hoover's relief program, showing that next to of the huge funds appro- priated for public and other work has actually been put to work:-"Nineteen of the (borax) mules are lying the ground asleep and the twentieth is giving half-hearted pull. What can the driver be thinking about?"
 As an eye-opener to his election comment MT. Smith says:-"we should stop talking about the Forgotten Man and about class distinction" He then "sympathizes' with the view that "the country ! is set for change, Addng:-"I believe the best interests of the country will be served by the cess of the Democratic Party and the election of it's ticket" He does not mention Messrs. Roose- welt and Garner.
 But he lambastes the Republican Administration in proper style. Observing that to "all intents and purposes the campaign may be said to be over the real question is what will the Democratic Party do with it's victory" He then to the second hiatus in the old Smith method of directness when he alludes to, but does not name, certain "ele- ments' which the party must purge itself of if it is to serve the Nation in this crisis.
 We only assume that MT. Smith will be nam- ing these individuals There would otherwise be an of reasonableness in the editorial dictum he announces of free, full and open discussion, without partisanship, in spirit of tolerance to opposite views for the purpose of honest and con- structive discussion and debate"
 It is refreshing thing to have Alfred E. Smith to look forward to monthly. His three of four editorial pages should have a great interest and Ia great influence the next few years unron their gigantic problems.
