 Certainly events of the last few months prove the truth of both Roosevelts and Bakers remarks snent the league. It has not proved itself capable of dealing with the Far East problem. Japan refuses to heed it's advice or admonitions. China keeps up it's appeal for league intervention Japan ig- nores. Would it be any different if the United States were a member instead of an interested onlooker' That's a question we don't care 10 decide. It's filled with too many possibilities. But we must agree with Roosevelt that the League of Nations of l932 is not the League of Nations, the brain child of Woodrow Wilson. It is a distorted image of it. Our absence from the body may have produced this deformity. But for the moment we side with Roosevelt and Baker. not losing sight of the fact, though. that world peace is dependent upon just such league.

Deserts the League?

We wonder if Governor Franklin D. recent statement against United States par ticipation in the League of Nations by Will liam Randolph Hearst or Newton D. Baker Perhaps 1t was d combination of both Per haps it was neither We are inclined to give the governor the benefit of the doubt. Ad dressing the New York State Grange this week he outlined his stand on three import ant international questions but of para mount importance was his deserton of the League of Nations for which be campaigned so earnestly back in 1920 when Woodrow Wilson was trying to interest us in it.
 Says Governor Roosevelt. "The League of Nations today is not tbe league conceived by Woodrow Wilson. It might have been had the United States joined Too often through the years it's major function has been not the broad overwhelming purpose of world peace. but rather the political discus sion of strictly European political difficulties. In these the United States should have no part
 We wonder if this isn't the attitude that Newton D, Baker is taking. too He pro- claimed himself against immediate partic patton in the league by the United States few days ago. He stated bis position so em phaticaly that he is now regarded as more available for the democratic presidential nomination than be ever was and Baker has been ranked among the outstanding cand- dates from the very beginning. Perhaps bis stand persuaded Governor Roosevelt to ex press himself in similar vein. In both in- stances we think the speakers were sincere. We think that they are at heart League of Nations adherents. but that they consider the welfare of their nation first.
 or course. Mir Hearst merely challenged Roosevelt to declare himself on the league for purely political purposes. Hearst re- gards Roosevelt and Baker as internationallsts and not to be considered for the presidency. His man of the hour is John Garner, Speaker of the House. whom Hearst terms set as such a nationalist as was Champ Clark whom Woodrow Wilson defeated for

In an effort to put every large city in the state in the democratic column former mayor Angelo M Paonessa of New Britain. may take the field against Mayor Ouigley this spring when the city elections are held. AL though Mr. Paonessa has made no state ments as yet, bis friends are endeavorlng to secure his consent to use his name with the democratic mayoraty nomination. It will take seasoned campai2ner like ex mayor paonessa to oust Mayor Ouigley. The latter has proved an enterprslng city official and has acquired state wide reputation by his promotion of the Connecticut League of Municipalities, an organization to study the tax situation with view towards advancing new means of local revenue. If the democrats of New Britain hope for any success against the Ouigley organization they will have to pin their faith on a candidate of the Paonessa type Of recent months. though, Mir. Paon- essa has not seemed in the mood to run for mayor any more. He is now on Labor Com missioner Tones staff and, of course would have to give up this job if be became an ac- tive mayoraty candidate. But the party may persuade him to enter the fray. And it must be remembered that the state and national elections are to come New Britain democrats are anxious to make their mark on both. Their work is cut out for them,

Here, There And Eueryuhere
VICE-PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES
(Springfeld Republican,

(SprlnBneld tepuDllcdH)
 If within the next two months the usual fourth-year crop of per sonally promoted but obviously futile and unimportant candidac1es for the democratic nomination for the vice-presidency does not begin to appear, 1t will suggest that the political problems of 1882 are taken more seriously than those of some other years have been. It will even found q hope that the democrats. after having finally picked n man for first place on their ticket at Chicago, will go about the business of picking a man for second place with the care which the obvious possibilities of life and death in the White House have always called for theory and seldom received, from either party, in practice.
 Among the recognized ways of "building up" the reputation and fiattering the vanity of some re- tired man of means. lacking In political experience, has been to organize, at his expense. q cam paign of mild publicity for his nomination as vice-president with out any pretense that if called to the higher office he would be ade- quate to discharge It's duties. These campaigns, largely consisting or circulars addressed to newspapers. have been tolerantly observed by the practical politician who has seen in them no real menace to his own schemes and only the harmless hirtations of aged wealth with a mild form of fame.
 Whatever other political foliies may have been committed, such idle gesturing has been absent this winter. In the republican side there Is no opening for 1t, since Vicc-President Curtis--than whom many republicans would, however, wish n stronger candidate--has an- nounced that he will run again for his present office. On the demo- cratic side, the gravity of the time and the measure of responsibility before the party have perhaps kept retired captains of industry who. in other years might have liked to read that they were mentioned for the presidency" from financing that form of self-entcr- tainment.

What Of It?

At least Harry Daugherty, who served as c. Harding and Calvin Coolidge. between the years l92l-25 can feel satisfied with the success of the book that he has just pro- duced with the collaboration of Thomas Dixon, better known for the novel, The Klansman'' from which that famous motion picture, The Birth of Nation" was adapted. Mir Daugherty's treatise IS considerable of a defense of himself and cruel indictment of an inmate of the New Mexico state prison one Albert B. Fall. who was President Hardings secretary of the n- terior. One item of interest Mir Daugherty did publish, namely. the legality of the farmhouse oath that Calvin Coolidge took in Plymouth. Vermont, on August }. 1923, was questioned.
 While there may have been more than mere officadom aware of the fact that Calvin Coolidge took second oath of office fourteen days after bis father bad sworn him into office at 2;47 o'clock in the morning that number was small. But We don't i'm agine that now that the entire country knows about it, there will be any serious upheaval in political ranks Judge Adolph August Hoehng, Jr., administered the oath to Cool idge so that there could be no doubt of the legality of his being actually the duly-sworn chief executive of tbe nation. This was given in private suite of rooms in the New Will lard hotel in Washington on August Y. 1923. both according to Judge Hoehllng and 10 the Daugherty book. Judge Hoehling revealed his part in the affair only after publication of the incident in the former attorney generals book,
 It was Representative James M. Beck of Pennsylvania. at that time solicitor general. who brought out the fact that the swearing in of Coolidge by his father. notary public. might be questioned and Coolidge's right to office questioned. However. it is unlikely that it ever could have been proved that Calvin Coolidge held office illegally for fourteen days. Whatever point of law may be in question there can be no evidence of anything but a desire upon the part of Mir Coolidge to assume full control of the nation as speedily as possible. We think that the nation would much rather remember that historic scene in the simple Vermont farm house than one in the hotel room in Wash ington. History may record this dual incl dent in the Coolidge annals. but it will not be swayed one way or the other by 1t. Un- fortunately for MT Daughertys book. he failed to reveal in bis exploitation of the same such important data, as names and dates. It remained for one of the principals to do that.

Uncle Sam may find a market for the dirigible Los Angeles in the movie industry. Reports from Hollywood seem to indicate that one film concern is interested in acquir- ing the air boat if proper terms with the government can be reached. Certainly the use of the dirgible would cause run on air pie lures, quite few of which we have enjoyed of recent years But there would be also the necessity of the company owning the former Zeppelin, assuming quite a responsibility. We cant have huge drigibles eavorting around the heavens for the entertainment of old and young. while human lives may be endangered.

Many soldier organizations in this state are protesting that the state law which pro vides for employment preference for ex- service men on public work is being ignored by all state departments. Rau Lock Ameri- can Legion Post in Hartford has drawn up a formal protest against the same and the state Legion department may be asked to n- terest itself in the matter before long. One item in the protest states that there is no preference towards ex service men manifested whatsoever, but that in few instances even

Washington While there's nothing to be gained, personally, out of 1t no additional votes. for instance - Congress has shown quite an interest in the growth and activities of the national zoo in the District of Columbia.
 The zoo Is federal institution and its improvement Is part of the general program which calls for the construction of new buildings for the various departments and completion of the original plans for the entire district.
 Now, Dr William M. Mann, di- rector of the zoo, proudly points to the reptile house, the latest ac- quisition, to the bird house which came before 1t and to the eagle cage which soon will be~completed. Each has something unique about 1t, something quite apart from any thing any other zoo can claim.
 Such claims are quite important from the viewpoint of impressins congress. especially the members of the District of Columbia Com mittee and the Appropriations Committee from both of which pr Mann expects to get further en- CouIdbSipeHI Io So oH "AIH A program.
 The reptile house is the only building of it's kind in the world which provides special temperature for the inhabitants and another cooler and more com fortable temperature for the visi- tors. It may be 90 or more In the cages and pools, but it is only 70 or so outside. And sunlight con- ditions are stimulated by artificial light as closely as possible.
 The result is that Mann has succeeded in breeding snakes, liz ards and toads where others have failed. In fact, these reptiles, which, in other institutions, seem apparently too sluggish even to eat, are quite lively and entertain ing here.
 The flight cage for the eagles is another thing for seldom find in ZOOS. It's the largest in the world, Mann will tell you, and 1t, too, stimulates natural conditions as closely as possible These nat ural conditions are formed out of cutting off part of steep hillside and coating the irregular shape with cement.
 Mann can have this done easily, for the entire 176 acres occupied by the zoo is quite hilly and forms beautiful ravaincs and hillsides as attractive backgrounds for his specimens.
 Mann expects soon to appear be-

SAY IT WITH BOOKS

Editor of The Democrat:-
 A decided increase in reading by the general public during the past year Is constantly brought to one's attention. A case in point Is the complete report of Miss Barrett, librarian of the Silas Bronson H. brary in this city. which states a vast increase over 1880 of the num- Der of volumes loaned in 1891. The report also states q big increase in inside reading, that is newspapers, pamphlets, magazines, and the like in the library reading room. This increased reading Is the result. 1t Is conceded. of the vast number of unemployed, who with nothing to do employ no little time in read ing. Books are great boOna at all times. and right now are blessings for many who have nothing much to do but think of unfortunate cir cumstances that have deprived them of work. In line with this same subject there was a praise worthy suggestion in the Topics of tie Times" column of the New York Times in recent issue. In

MT Mellon Graduates

From the ranks of the Cabinet Andrew w. Mellon is moving up to an ambassador ship. He will succeed Charles c. Dawes at the Court of St. James, which is, of course, our most important foreign post. Mention of Mir Mellon in connection with the ap. pointment has been heard in diplomatic and political circles in Washington for some time. However there were those who never believed that the mult-milionalre Treasury Secretary would forsake the role he has filled under three presidents. Mir Mellon would have completed eleven years in March.
 Of course there will be much speculation as to the motives that made Mir Mellon ac- cept the ambassadorship. There will be many who will never be convinced that MT Mellon wasn't fleeing from the likelihood of impeachment although little has been sad about this since Representative Patman of Texas sought for the same. While republic cans like to refer to Mir Mellon as the great est secretary of the treasury since Alexander Hamilton, there were always those who would refuse to accept such belief We happened to be one.
 As to financial ability Mir Melons status is unquestioned. 1t IS even charged that his endeavors along purely commercial lines continued while he was member of the Cabinet in direct violation of all proprety It was on this basis that impeachment was to be sought just as it had threatened Mir Mel lon on several previous occasions However. even Mir Mellons ability was not sufficient to raise this nation above the forces of de- p.csison when they struck in 1929. He was among the Hoover chorus who ehanted about good times around the corner
 No other secretary of the treasury has served as long as Mir Mellon has. That was a sort of fetish with him. He wanted such record to live after he had entered private life He has it now. though he might have had the more complete record of three full terms under three presidents had he waited until next year to resign or be succeeded by democratic incumbent It now remains 10 be seen what sort of diplomat he will make. He is stepping into an embassy that has reechoed with names like Pinckney. Monroe, John Quincy Adams, Albert Galla- tin. Washington Irving, Martin Van Buren. Edward Everett George Bancroft, James Buchanan, Charles Francis Adams. James Russell Lowell. John Hay Joseph Ii. Choate. Edward J. Phelps. Whitelaw Reid. and in more recent years, Walter H. Page. John w. Davis George M. Harvey, Frank B. Kellogg, Hanson B. Houghton. and Charles C. Dawes.
 There is no reason to doubt that MT Mel lon cannot follow successfully in their foot steps, His reputation as financler IS well known and liked in Europe. Perhaps he may be able to calm the troubled waters of that continent. At least he will have the well wishes of the American public in his new role of ambassador. an unusual one for one so long linked with ihe Treasury Depart ment.

CALL FOR MIR PAONESSA


 It is being reported throughout RDemocratic circles-according to the Ubiquitous reaorter"-that A.. M. Paonessa after sll may run for mayor of the city of New Britain.
 In these columns more than q week ago we expressed the opinio1 that he was the logical candidate, the only democrat the present may or feared. and that he had good chance of winning, what with gem eral dissatisfaction in connection with the party in power when the depression started.
 This year great many people are going to vote democratic on general principles. That'y how they feel about politics--so angry that they are inclined to punish every thing having the title republican.
 It turns out that some of the chief democratic leaders of the state, including Governor Cross, are in favor of MT Paonessa staging the kind of comeback of which they believe he is capable.
 Our opinion is that Angelo Is go- ing to be the candidate.

"FOR SALE" SIGN ON
 LABRADOR
(New Haven Times)


 Who wants to start himself on the road to prosperity in 1882 by buying 800 miles of coast line and a hinterland of hundreds of thous- ands of square acres for $100,000,- 900, asks the St. Louis Globe Dcm- ocrat.
 Prosperity would have already rounded the corner for Newfound- land if 1t could sell the asset, but unfortunately 1t is handicapped In bargaining by the fact that there seems to be but one eligible cus- toner. Labrador had long been claimed by both the Province of Quebec and the Dominion of New foundland and the title of neither was very clear. An arbitration by the London Privy Council in 1927 awarded all the coast line and all the interior territories drained by to Newfoundland the rest to Que bee.
 As Is often the case in arbitra- tions. the decision was influenced less by legalities than be general conditions. That Newfoundland, a relatively poor, small country. needed 1t the more and. though separated from 1t by sea, could do more with 1t than Quebec, if placed in permanent possession, was un- doubtedy consideration given much weight.
 In these hard times however. Newfoundland Is no content to await the usual process of devel- Opment In new country and wants to cash 1t in at once. On the basis of what we paid for the Vir- gin Islands 1t ought to be worth $1 900, 100000 or more, for though It's climate is the more rigorous. 1t has wealth in fisheries, forests. wa- terpower and undoubtedly in rich minerals that the Virgin Islands will never have.
 A German syndicate some time ago offered a large sum for Labra- dor's lease during ninety-nine years. What its members were go- ing to use as money was not stated. but German credit was less re. strlcted then than now. Newfound- land periodically refuses all offers that might alienate the area from the British flag and In so doing Vir- tually confined negotiations to It's sister dominion. Canada.
 Territory. however, particularly rocky. ice-bound territory. Is the one thing Canada Is not short on. Probably only q heavy discount for cash will interest Ottawa.
