A decline in call money to
per cent, against per cent for the
last several months, and the Tow
est rate in more than a year was
construed bearishly. This paradox
is explained by the fact that the
2 per cent call money recently in
force. was purely artifcial-peg-
ged by the banks. Lowering of
the rate stressed the lack of de-
mand for funds on the part of in
dustry and thus had bearish eff

THE PREACHER

Hartford Pastor Talks

Tn an address before the Wo-
mems Christian Temperance Union
in New Britain yesterday, Rev
John M. Phillips of the Center
church, Hartford, took TO task

citation for urging churches to ALI
back to their pulpits those minis
tiers who are urging continued pro-
hibition or who are taking part in
active politics presumably in the
interest of the independent repub-
lican party in Connecticut.
II am sure his intentions were
most sincere" dryly remarked Rev
DR. Phillips as he referred to d
front page editorial in the last is
sue of Connecticut Industry"
written by Mr. Hubbard, "but may
l suggest in terms as mild as
can find, that for him or any other
business man to publicly tell any
church how to deal with it's pastor
is what in theological circles is
known as supererogation."
DIR Phillips said that it would
be as superluous to his duty for
him to urge from his pulpit that
1.-The stockholders in the Hartford
Courant muzzle their editor or that
members Of the Connecticut Man
ufacturers association forbid such
utterances in their publication" as
for Mr. Hubbard to tell churches
how they should treat with their
ministers.
1.-The president of the Manufac-
turers association allows that min
listers may have opinions in poll
tics. That is good news, because
we already had opinions. Now we
know that we are allowed to hold

Many Talking
of Protection
Believe City Should Make
Additions to the Police
Force

The increasing number of hold
ups in Waterbury and nearby
places has set many thinking. OF
the need of more police protection.
1t Is not a favorable moment to
call for anything that means an
added expense, but even so many
believe that it would be the part
of wisdom to let things remain on
the waiting list that can stand
without injury to any interest, use
the funds to put people in a posi-
ton that they will have fair
measure Of protection.
There are several sections of the
city that have practically no regu-
lar police protection. The city is
parceled off In to beats. but some
of them cover so much territory
that an officer rarely goes the full
rounds, or If he does, he has to- do
some sprinting. Police. work of
this kind is far from what people
ought to have, but when attention

After the delegation departed,
Secretary Newton issued a state
ment emphasizing that Capt Smith
handed the B. E. F. petition to
General Hines rather than to the

a Newton said that if the petit

any other route, it would have
gone to the Veterans bureau in the
usual course of events. He re-
marked that it was a fortunate
coincidence that General Hines
happened to be present to receive
it in person.
Newton took the view that be-
cause Hines received the petition,
