Frugal Campaigning

Campaign costs. too. have been deflated. Final figures will probably show total ex- penditures by the two parties not more than half as large as those of four years ago. Both parties have been economizing, from necessity. bringing them nearer war-fund equality than usual. Demoefatic funds seem to be back to about the level of the Wilson era. and Republican funds ever more re- duced in comparison.
 This forced frugality does not seem to have depressed politics snotieeably. In fact. both parties have got more political action than usual. It is safe to say that the issues have been as adequately presented as usual It just goes to show that political workers, like other folks in other spheres of life. can get along on good deal less when they have to.
 It might even be that. if necessary, na- tional campaign could be waged without any war fund at all. free publicity facilities being what they are. The newspapers make liberal contributions of space. The radio broadcasting companies if they were not paid for their services might carry the most important speeches as free entertainment. charging them to good will. They do quite a little of, that now.

Real Disarmament

This years celebration of Armistice Day
 which might be called Disarmament Day should at least bring some sober. honest thinking in many countries. Fourteen years after the great day of rejoicing which ended the World War and was supposed to usher in world peace, there is more need of dis armament than ever before in human his- tory There are more men under arms in military service, than there were before the war. There is far more money being spent on armament by impoverished nations. than there was before the war. But this is not the whole story.
 There IS more warfare, actual and threat ened. than is represented by armies and bat tleships. There is warfare in mems minds nations regarding each other with hostility. nations batting each other in their diplom- acy. their journalism. and especially in their trade. There is trade war actually in prog ress, among the industrial and commercial nations. greater than any ever seen before, and greater in its menace than even the physical conflict of the World War. For this is not merely war of two groups against each other, with chance of one group at least deriving some benefit from victory. It is a free-for-all war with every nations hand at every other nations throat. trying to choke the life out. and being choked in turn by all the others.
 The greatest need of the world today IS return to international sanity in eco homie matters; state of mind that will enable nations to cooperate in. the essen tial work of making living; willingness to let other nations live in order that each itself may live; mutual helpfulness Tn pro- noting industry and trade instead of mutual effort to destroy industry and trade.
 If this is not done. how can the world rise out of its depression? And if this is not done, how can the world be saved from i. plunging despairingly into another and greater armed conflict?

Better Make Repairs

It is high time that the city corrected the storm water drainage system in Watervile at the intersection of Homer Street, Thomas ton and Huntingdon avenues Every heavy rainstorm that strikes the community results in flood conditions at this point. Yesterday morning was no exception. Not only was nearby property inundated. but traffic had to be rerouted as Tar back as Waterbury. There must have been three or four feet of water at the intersection this morning which the sewers were unable to carry away.
 Some years ago there was preliminary survey made to ascertain how much 1t would cost to install system that would take care of the storm water. But evidently the city decided that the cost was too excessive. Certainly in the long run it would be cheaper for the city to make the necessary alterations. For the amount of damage that motorists and property owners suffer in the space of several years more than equals the cost of the work. Such condition as pre- vailed this morning disrupts not only ve- hicular traffic but also the trolley service to Waterville
 We hope that Waterville residents will ultimately become sufficiently aroused to descend upon the city hall en masse some night and demand better storm water drain age. They are entitled to what they ask We don't think there is sne o:ser section in the city where such conditions prevail today. Of course we don't mean by that other sections

Mayor Francis T. Maloney of Meriden. who has just been elected to Congress in the third district. will retain his municipal job, according to reports issuing from the Silver City. The Meriden charter says that the mayor may retain his city post as well as national office. And when the late Sheriff Thomas L. Reilly was elected to Congress some years ago. he held his office of mayor at the same time, the presiednt of the board of aldermen serving as Acting Mayor when ever he was absent from the city. Mayor Maloney probably won't have many legis- lative duties, outside of being inaugurated next March, until December. lo33. when the 73rd Congress will convene. Of course. a special session might be called prior to that.

,Kreuger Was Swindler as
 Well as 8 Business Genius
by BRUCE CATION

. I
 The late Ivar Kreuger seems to have combined in one person all of -thes outstanding features of Ponzi and Rockefeller. He was half business genius and half out right swindler; and a world which is still rubbing the bruise which he created when he landed Is en- titled to little human curiosity about his personality and his ca reer.
 William H. Stoneman, foreign correspondent for an American newspaper, relieves that curiosity in 'The Life and Death of Ivar Krueger," which is as gaudy a tale of frenzied finance as you are apt to find anywhere.
 Kreuger, he declares, came to grief chiefly because he simply carried to extremes certain meth ods and tricks which are more or less common practice everywhere in high finance. To be sure, he was forger and falsifier and a trickster; but he would have crashed even if he had been hon. est, because he got himself so over-extended in a tangle of hold ing companies and inflated stock values that the world deflation left him way out on a limb.
 He began as a building con- tractor. and formed his first match trust just before the war He was an extremely able indus ,trialist; he came within hairs breadth of winning the world monopoly he dreamed of, and much of his wide reputation for business acumen was entirely jus tified. 5 But he never knew where to stop, and when he had pyramided too high he had no recourse but that of the defaulting accountant.

date. And be was elected. too. Three years ago the McKinlsy home was moved from iis original site to lot offered by the city. Today the house is dsl,pidstsd. This despite the fact that $6.000 was raised to make the home a national memorial. Part of the work was done. but when the money ran out. all work ceased and interest in the creation of the memorial wsned. evidently because no one individual kept alive the spark of patriotism. It seems too bad to put 50 much money into a scheme like that and then let it fall through. But it is far worse that the ancestral home of one of our rev- cred presidents should be allowed to erum- ble into the dust without real honest effort to preserve it for all time.

the chief executives intervention which had obtained the R. F. c. grants.
 It appeared that the politicians had been talking to Secretary of the Treasury Ogden Mills and that Mills had worked on the president, who in turn put pres sure on the R. F. c.
 But the corporations board of directors, now dominated by dem- ocrats, apparently felt there were no political implications in their action. They resented the charges and subsequently, seemed to be leaning over backward to avoid any more such incidents before election.
 The fact that no funds for the self f-liquidating projects have ac- tually been advanced nearly four months after they became avail able is due to such complications as court injunctions, the necessity of waiting for state legislative &C., tion, delay in negotiating contracts and so on. The loans eventually will put me nto work.
 Instead of handing out the re- lief loans lavishly to certain states, as might have been expected had their administration been jolitical, the R. F. c. has been extremely conservative in it's grants, confin- ing them to states and localities where the need was great and ex- isting efforts both sincere and in- adequate. This is in keeping with the presidents policy of avoiding federal relief aid except where absolutely necessary.
 The home loan banks, mean while, are reported swamped with applications for loans, but the ad- ministration permitted the system to go from the time congress passed the home loan act until after election day without mak- ing g single loan. The system didn't open until about three weeks before election.

R. F. 0. LOANS PROVED 'NEU- TRAIL GROUND AS PRESIDEN-
 HAL CAMPAIGN ISSUES.

Wassington-To those who know l the ways of politicians. one of the most surprising features of the presidential campaign was the fact that no more political use was made of the Reconstruction Fi- nance Corporation and other fed- eral lending agencies created ul- der Hoover emergency program. It was hardly to be expected that there wouldn't be some such minor scandal as arose after the advancement of $102,000,000 for a couple projects in California. And of course the administration was out on the stump pointing to the R. F. C.. as the chief weap- on with which it had beaten the depression and saved the country from catastrophe.
 There were quite few cynics who believed that the $300,000.000 voted by congress for unemploy- ment relief, the $1,500, 100000 for loans on self-hquidating projects, the $125,000, 900 for the home loan bank system and other funds would be poured out into the politically important states at a time when the disbursement might have, it's fullest effect on the administration fortunes.
 Those who held that view have been almost completely disap- pointed. Less than 20 per cent of the money, for relief has been authorized in loans. Not a single man has ben put to work by the big program of se1f-liquidating works loans-and not even g. dol- lar of this federal money turned over to anyone, although $135.- 100000 in loans has been approv- ed.
 The home loan banks have made nary, a loan and have not even touched the $125. 100000 to which they are entitled from the R. F. c.
 The Hoover program certainly was not without political effect, what between the money actually advanced and promised and the continual ballyhoo and promises as to it's general effects. But the restraint which was, in general, exercised during period when the administration felt rather des- perate about the election might we'll call for more favorable com ment than it received.
 The only exception was in the loans approved for California- $62,000, 900 for the San Francis co Bay bridge project and $40,- 100000 for an aqueduct at Los Angeles. The presidents Califor- mia supporters, worrying about Hoover's own stateN were rather noisy in their shouts that 1t was

visable in order to distinguish them from the small number of men under Major Robert Anderson of the United States army who de- tended the fort on April 12-14, 1861, when it was under lire of Confederate guns, the first one be- ing fired by Edmund Ruffin of Charleston, a man heart and soul in favor of the Confederate States of America. He survived until he heard of Lees surrender in, April, 1865 and then, in the early eve- ming, walked into his garden in Charleston and committed suicide. Z Let us consider, further Major Anderson and his garrison in Fort Sumter. He and they alike knew that the Confectionery had armed and was prepared to some extent to fight if attempt at coercion was made by what they termed the Abolition States. Certainly Anders son and his garrison had no right to surrender the fort, and still less had they the right to return the fire which was promised and which began promptly as scheduled.
 The news that Sumter had been fired upon produced tremendous reactions through the North. It divided families, and men by thou sands sought, recruiting offices that they might enlist and put down the rebellion which was to be subdued, as was Jericho, by sheer noise. At the same time, like enthusiasm fired the young men of the Con- federate States. The war was on. but it brought little comfort at that time to Major Anderson who, on April 14. surrendered the fort.
 Anderson, as soon as he regained his liberty. resumed his service In the United States army. rose to the rank of general and died in 1871. When Lee surrendered, Anderson, had the privilege few days later of raising the flag of the United States over the ruins of Fort Sumter. Henry Ward BeecAer was present and made the -oration ~of the day. It fss now for the most part forgotten, but we know that he said, we offer to the president of these United States our solemn that God has sus- tained his life and health under the unparalleled burdens and suf- ferings of four bloody years"
 This was not far from noon on April IA, 1865, and Lincoln was as-. sassinated that evening. The de- tails of the ceremony at Fort Sum- ter were given small space, if any, in the newspapers of the following
 morning because of the great trag-. edy in Ford's theater. Now we note that the Confederates who defended the fort, until the col lapse of their cause, have been honored, but we hear no mention of a memorial to the garrison which left 1t on April A. 1861.

Despite all the words of weight uttered by prohibitionists to discourage anyone be- lieving that prohibitions end is in immediate sight machinery exists that will speed up legalzation of beer and its prompt manu- facture. The Bureau of Industrial Alcohol. over which Dr James M. Doran. presdes
 has an organization that could be used to regulate the manufacture and sale of legal beer Government agents now make regu- lar inspections of cereal beverage plants
 most of which would turn to real beer manufacture if it was legalized. Incidentally all of them make beer of higher legal con tent than the law permits but this is merely an operation in the manufacture of the bev- craze that they ultimately sell. The real beer is dealcoholized to the one-half of one per cent authorized by the Volstead Act
 Therefore, there need be no fear about regu- lation of the beer industry once it is ap actuality. What we should be concerned about is the production of light wines. This country always imported more wines than it made here. And every country that is large wine producer is now on tip-toes to get as many orders as possible if the ban is lifted. This will increase world trade, but send plenty of money into foreign coun- tries. Perhaps. though. this will result in more action in debt payments to us. If so
 much good will have been accomplished.

THE WET REFERENDUM
Bridgeport Telegram.)

The prohibitionists of the United States emphatically cast their lot with Herbert Hoover in the recent election. They insisted that naked repeal". as advocated by the demo- crats, was the issue. They de- manded that, the people should speak.
 We'll, they have their answer.
 Certainly the people of the United States have spoken as em- phatically as possible. Naked repeal' was endorsed by the most overwhelming victory that has ever come to the democratic party. The successful presidential candidate said at Chicago, ."The democratic party wants repeal. I want repeal. I stand squarely on the repeal plank of my party" More than that, he added that there should be immediate modification for the purpose of allowing the manufac- ture and sale. of beer, with result ant revenue to the government.
 The people voted on that issue too. and the vote was overwhelm- ing.
 Bishop Cannon, the Allied Forces for Prohibition and other dry or- ganizations campaigned against the democratic candidate, and their inc fluence was as ineffective as an attempt to whistle down a cy- clone.
 These facts are obvious enough so that ..all who run may read" They mean that both the 18th amendment and the Volstead< act have been branded with the stamp of disapproval by an overwhelming majority of the American people. In a democratic form of govern 'ment, the law should be revised to conform with public sentiment.
 To accomplish this may not be as simple as it sounds. since there are technical obstacles to be overcome but the fact remains that the constitution may be amended again by the same process by which it was amended in the first place, and that only 8 simple act of congress, approved by the presi- dent, is necessary in order to le- galize the sale of beer.

Christmas Expectations

Stores in city where unemployment and relief are immediate and grave causes for con- cern announce they are putting l5,0O0.O 900 worth of new Christmas merchandise on their shelves and hiring thousands of additional employees. Some are already at work. The rest will be on the job the first week in De- cember.
 It may sound like great gamble. The stores regard it as good business. Purchasers this year, they say, are assured of getting the very latest and best goods at most reasonable prices. That should make buyers. There are in the region 68.000 bank depositors to whom S5.O0O,O00 in Christmas savings funds will be distributed next month. That is not all the money available in the com munty. by any means. The stores expect the freshness of their stocks, the compara- lively low prices and the long postponement of buying to create really good Christmas business. It is cheerful prospect
