IRISH DELEGATION
ON WAY TO BRITAIN
Group Headed by De Valera
Will Join Economic
Conference.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
DUBLIN Irish Free State, October
l3-President Eamon De Valera of the
Free State and his delegation left Dublin
this morning for England, where tomor-
row they will meet again with members
Of the English government in an
economic peace conference.
This conference viii attempt to find
a solution Of the difficulties which gave
rise to the customs war now being
fought between the two countries.
The paramount issue. as heretofore, is
whether the Free State will resume pay
ing the land annuit:es which England
demands and to which the Free State
claims England has no right.
Position Outlined.
The Free States position was outlined
today by Sean O'Kelly, the Vice
President and one of the outstanding
has given virtually al his life to the
cause of Irish independence and for
many years has struggled side by side
with De Valera as the latters right
hand man.
At the outset, O'Kelly emphatically
denied the claim made by some mem
bers of the political opposition that
De Valera has no desi!, to terminate
the economic war. on the ground that
its continuation will favor his program
for a reconstructed Ireland.
O'Kelly declared that the tariff which
Great Britain imposed on the Free State
in retaliation for Withholding the
annuities payments have HI 4 the effect
Of spurring the Free State toward
economic independence Of England
rather than creating a financial crisis
which would force the Free State to
accede to the British demands.
The dispute has influenced the Free
States economic policy" he said. not
in regard to its direction. but to its
rate of progress. That policy still re-
mains as it was six months ago-the
revival OF Irish ldustry, development
of home market and achievement Of
a sane balance between agriculture and
manufacturing industries.
At the time England imposed the
tariffs, the British press generally de-
clared the Free State would quickly pc
forced to its knees because OF col
lapse Of the export trade to England IN
cattle and agricultural products which
has loomed SO large in the economic al
fairs Of Ireland in the past.
Far From Encouraging.
OKelly said that as a matter Of fact.
before the tariffs ever were imposed the
outlook for Ireland's export trade In
live stock and agricultural products on
the British market was far from encour-
aging.
The inflow of supplies from other
countries to England had been steadily
increasing for several years, he said,
and at the same time, owing to the eco
nomic crisis. prices had been declining
so that Irish producers were forced. in
many cases to sell goods to Great Brit
ain at non-economic prices. Because
of this. he said, the retaliatory tariffs
were not such a grevious blow to Ire
land as the outside world expected.

Give Credit Where Credit Belong,

There seems to be a tendency in demo- cratic and republican circles in Connecticut to dispute responsibility for the so-called dirt road act that gives to every town of this state an annual appropriation of about S17,000 to expend on roads that might not otherwise receive much-needed attention from city or state, Democrats are claim ing by the very fact that Governor Wilbur L. Gross signed the dirt road bill credit must revert to them. On the other hand republi- cans, in particular Secretary of State Will liam L. Higgins. lay claim to authorship of the bill. Both are quite correct. Governor Cross did sign the measure; Dr Higgins was its author. .t
 that the fight for dirt road appropriation was aided and abetted by not merely demo- crats and republicans grouped in parties, but by every citizen of the state who had ever ridden over,a rural road in the seasons of the year when they were at their worst. Per haps it was Dr Higgins who first coined the phrase-get the farmer out of the mud but wasn't it the State Grange that enlisted the necessary rural support that was so vital in passage of the necessary legislation. We can recall some years ago when Dr Higgins as a member of the General Assembly was fighting for better dirt roads. But we know that he had the sympathy of both demo- crats and republicans in his campaign.
 We know that during the years he en- deavored to have the Legislature act favor- ably towards bis measures no more active support was secured by him than that of the State Grange and in this connection the name of First Selectman Tolles of Southing- ton must be mentioned. We don't think that without the aid of Mir Tolles and the State Grange either the democrats or the re- pubicans could argue about their right to lay claim to the dirt road bill to-day. If the republicans desire to claim the measure as their own democrats can point out the fact that when first proposed by Dr Hlg- gins back in 1925 there was scant g. o. p. support for it in the preponderantly repub- lican legislature.
 And in ensuing years of republican dom ination. there was similar disposition to treat the proposal to allocate millions to dirt road betterment with scant consideration. In short, our republican overlords didn't actually become interested in the dirt road bill until it developed that unless they wanted the democrats to get credit for en- acting the measure they would have to be- come vitally interested. On this point alone would we dispute authorship or responsi- bility. We think, however, both democrats and republicans can well afford to share the honors equally or better still stand aside so that Mir Tolles and his confreres can assume their proper places in the sun.

 If anything can be done to eliminate the necessity of our cities paying out millions in interest on their tax anticipation notes every year then Waterbury will be right behind the. movement.

Governor Cross is right in sug- gesting that if the date of the first payment of annual taxes nearly coineided with the beginning of the fiscal year there would not be such a tendency to borrow in antieipa- tion. And if our income covered our expenses no city would show a deficit. The ball IS, rolling.

Call Political Graft Fault
 Of Business World
by BRUCE CATION

Political corruption in America exists, not because some men are wicked and interruptions, but be- cause our economic order is based on the profit motive and on special
 privilege. Politics is. corrupted by the business world. Decent city government can only come through a revision of our entire economic
 order.
 So. at any rate, say Norman Thomas and Paul Blanshard in
 "WhaVs the Matter with New
 York Pa sane, painfully clear ac- count of the progress of Tammany
 corruption in the metropolis.
 In the old days the boys simply
 reached into the city treasury and helped themselves. Then, in the Croker era, they levied tribute from vice and gambling rings. Now they are much less crude. Most of their graft is of the "honest" variety. They sell special favors-revisions in zoning laws, favors in enforce ment of the building code, city franchises and so on. The authors have given the best ALEC summary of recent New York graft that have yet seen, and even if you disagree with their conclusions you will find their fac- tuaI account of what is happening
 invaluable. They insist that New York's woes are common to every other big city--which, of course, is obvious; and if they assert that only a complete change in our form of society can insure clean citx gov ernment = well, doesn't Lincoln
 Steffen's autobiography make ex- actly the same point?

More Charter Surveys

While Waterbury won't take very kindly to the suggestion from Governor Wilbur L. Cross that municipal charters be studied with view to correcting them we certainly sympathize with the idea behind his proposal. The governor has pointed out that more than million dollars IS spent annually in interest on tax anticipating notes. Says the governor, This unneces- sary burden upon the taxpayers IS caused by the fact the first payment on taxes is usual ly several months after the beginning of the fiscal year. An obvious remedy would be to make the first payment on or near the beginning of the fiscal year
 You can't help but agree with the gover- -nor in this statement. The next time your city finds it necessary to borrow money to tide over its affairs until tax installmeni comes due. just figure out the interest that will have to be paid. You don't have to leave Waterbury to find that out. Interest on money borrowed in anticipation of taxes and on various bonds constitutes a heavy drain upon our treasury. No doubt if pay ment of this interest could be abandoned the tax rate would be reduced substan- tially. And lower tax rates are certainly in order right now.
 Continuing along this vein Governor Gross said There are other bad features of the fiscal systems in most cities of the state. The time has come for a careful study o' the charters of our municipalities with view to drastic revisions in the interest of more economical government and the relief of the public from all expenditures that may be eliminated. am not making this criticism of the officials of any municipality but in criticism of the charters under which they arc acting. The first aim in revision mus be to eliminate $I.o000o0 or more now being paid on notes issued in antiei.
 We are perfectly willing to listen to all suggestions pertinent to the above but fl II is necessary to have our municipal charter undergo another survey then we imagine ,ha. good many respectable citizens will rise up end protest. We had one in l93I. It cost us considerable money. It slso gave the dty . reputation that will tsks some years 10 live down. Whenever municipal n,is' msnsssmsns b discussed now Wsnfbufy''
