Must Live Together

Howard Vincent O'Brien quotes ! frank diplomat as saying with reference to postwar hatreds: The French have some good qualities. but they are mean and cruel. The Germans are affable and stupid and they wilt under pressure. The British are solid. but self-seeking. The Italians are charming but can be dangerous in their vain glorious paranoia. The Austrians are attractive but crooked. The Hungarisrs are still more attractive. but still more crooked. The Poles are crooked but not attractive. The Czeehs - but why go on?"
 Quite so why go on? Few of us have any genuine love for other nations, though individually their people probably differ in about the same ways that we do. having similar virtues and defects. But SUD- pose others are worse than we are. What are we to do about it' There is only one thing to do, the diploma concluded. That is omake the best of it. With modern trans portation and communication and the in- terests of every country touching every other at SO many points, we have all become one large family. We have to live together, and the only sensible and decent thing is to make allowances for each other. We can keep to ourselves our worst opinions of others, and express our best opinions of them.

the defeated candidate for governor. He is a republican which does not necessarily 6g- ure in this story. There were oyer 100000 ballots cast in Maine's election in September and Martin lost by seant 1000 votes. All of which might make man wondef if he really was defeated, put recourse to history and political records would reveal ths. many a man lost by closer margin. We have seen city elections right here in Waterbury won by margins less than 1000 votes and yet there was no talk of reeounts. Accounts are apt to do more damage than good. If it could actually be proved now that an error in the tabulation was made just picture the consternation and bad feeling it would create all over the nation. Still Mir Martin is entitled to his claim, so let him 30 through with it.

This Musical Mess

It is about time that jolt was thrown into Tin Pan Alley. Thus the interesting lawsuit brought against lot of alleged music monopolists in New York may have a wholesome effect. regardless of the legal questions involved. When the economic equities have been attended to, perhaps a little attention can be paid to the artistic equities. Is all this stuff the country is deluged with really music? Can there be musical art in standardized. quantity pro- duction of songs where a trivial pattern IS set and every composer follows it as slavish- ly as a molder or carpenter or maehinistF
 One of the mysteries of our present era, SO vigorous and creative in various other branches of art, is the flood of musical trash poured out since the World War. Most of it is not only cheap. banal and illterate in expression, but in its sentiment and scope is feeble moonshine compared with the eharac- teristic songs of other times and places.
 Irving Berlin, the kingfish of this school of musical minnows, with some good things to his credit has great deal to answer for. It is bad enough when the composer of "Alexander's Ragtime Band takes to whin- ing, incoming and crooning, but far worse when he creates and popularizes new art form in which it is almost impossible to embody anything vital and virile. This monopoly of art form and style is worse than the business monopoly.

International Merger

What might be called new experiment in internationalism occurred when 25O Britons boarded the steamer Lancastria at Southampton, England, to join in cruise with an equal number of Americans. There were some misgivings beforehand But within "A hours reports, the cruise man. ager, everyone knew everyone else, from the kids dancing on the deck to their elders struggling over bridge tables. When the cruise ended, the entire 500 had about de- cided that the two nations should merge and let the rest of the world shift for itself
 It is usually that way. Americans and Britons say critical or sarcastic things about each other and imagine there are unbridge able gaps and insuperable prejudices between them. But when they are thrown together in any part of the world away from home. they get along surprisingly well. They seem to understand and sympathize with each other better than either of them does with any other nation. Thus, whether in diplo- macy at Geneva or on sailors shore leave at any of the world ports or in casual travellers meetings. they find plenty of common ground. This relationship is all the better for being informal. It probably would not work to tie them up together

A National Disgrace" Another B. E. F. paper was published at Erie. Pa, but stopped.
 The Khaki Shirts of America, which seems more actively inter- ested in all the unemployed, Is headed by R. B. Ellison, another former B. B. F. national contact officer.
 It takes B. E. F. members as a nucleus, gives them life member ships without cost, has a second class of membership for unem- ployed persons who promise to pay a dollar when they get jobs and a third class for those who can pay now. Naturally, it is handi- capped for lack of funds. Recent ly they appealed to 4S governors to establish state camps for the home- less unemployed. Receiving no encouragement they have now ad- dressed all American mayors urg- ing a plan of winter billeting which will utilize vacant stores and buildings.
 The idea is to make such con- centfations of the unemployed as self-sustaining as possible, reduce ing per capita costs of relief. Khaki Shirt units are urging the plan in their various communities.
 Other so-called national organi- zations grown from the B. B. F. exist, but the only one receiving anw attention is still another Khaki Shirts, with headquarters at Kansas City. Unlike the Khaki Shirts aforementioned, it is mili- tant, has Fascist tendencies, wears brown shirts and is said to plan mass demonstrations this winter, although the program is vague. Membership is open to all, but its numerous officers must be veter- ans.

A Book a Day

Tiffany Thayer Writes An
 other-Yes, It's Sexy

Tiffany Thayer can be depended on never to disappoint his public. His public expects sex in q Tiffany Thayer novel, and MT Thayer, mindful of what he owes to gen. eral ruriency, never let's his public down.
 Thus we find that "Three Sheet" MT Thayer's latest novel, goes skidding along the twilight zone of eroticism quite as gaily as any of its predecessors.
 "Three Sheet" tells about two brothers in a little Illinois city. Born at the turn of a century, and brought up in poverty by their widowed mother, the youngsters get poor start.
 The elder, conscientious, ambi- tious and gifted with a brilliant mind. has to give up his dreams of a, neducation, and, to support the family, must leave high school to get work. He gets into a rut and at the end of the story he Is still trying in vain to get out.
 The younger brother is hel- lion, and no mistake. In his early teens he works as a stage hand in the local theater, and soon is an actor with a theatrical company playing one-night become 8 good actor, but he is even more preoc- cupied with sex than the charac- ters in MT Thayer's previous books and from the moment that he steps on the stage the book is simply the story of his degeneration.
 Having conducted this lad to . painful deathbed, MT Thayer de- cides to end his story, and it's quite all right by me.
 "Three Sheet" is published by Liveright and sells for $2.50.

The Gift Without The Bearer Welfare Bureaus Are Too Mechanical To-day
By JOHN B. GRECO

Charity has reached such a low ebb among us that its real practice would be looked upon As fanati- cal.
 Whatever benefits are conferred by welfare bureaus are governed entirely by mechanical methods with little or no brotherly spirit.
 A natural contempt for the poor Is shown by nearly every one whose prestige and wealth rise above the average needy which creates in them an attitude of pre- judice and hostility against the unfortunate set of society.
 If we examine our provisions, regulating distribution of funds for public welfare, and the laws Con- corning prevention of cruelty, to animals, we find, without labor or strain, a close similarity be- tween thoir underlying object and policy.
 There is hardly any difference
 between the welfare organization and the so-calied humane societies maintained for the purpose of pre- venting cruelty to animals.
 The pauper who applies for help to charitable institution, especial ly if it happens to be under poli- tical control, has to overcome the presumption that is commonly at- tached to him by the very fact of his being poor.
 What hurts and offends the needy most deeply is theS stern attitude and arrogant manner assumed by the ones in charge, who are no more competent to deal in such cases than the veteri- nary has to treat human ailments. Moral blows hostily dealt are in many cases and circumstances more painful than the physical ones, for want and poverty are not the negation of personal pride and self-respect.
 The men who through unem- ployment, disease or other misfort- unes are reduced to penury and drugery, are as much in need of moral relief as they are of mater ial aid and must be therefore dealt with accordingly, lest to the bangs | of physical suffering we might add the torture of wounded pride. While poor people may not be models of virtues they are not the hopeless outcasts and wayward tramps they are often taken to be from their torn clothes and care- worn features. Their honesty and integrity with due allowance for human weaknessess and frailties are undoubtedly on a higher level than that of some prosperous and self-styied honorable lords. For the poor mans faults are committed in ignorance and inno- cent frankness and are not con- cealed by the cloak of hypocracy often knitted with giided threads and political hands.
 if charity were stripped of the mechanical and matter Of form routine and practIeed in terms of the golden rule and of the broth- erhood of man, our daily press would not be filled with heart- rsnding tales of tragedies such ca

Two Different Hoovers

We chanced to hear a political speech de- livered over the radio this week that caused many thoughts to go galloping through our minds at one and the same time. Former Attorney General Ottinger of New York was the speaker and he had chosen, so the radio announcer said to give his lls- teners picture of the real Roosevelt as he was known right in his own home state ot New York We presume that Mir Ottingef is as well acquainted with Governor Roose- welt as most republicans who are concerned about seeing him defeated for the presi- dency next month. want to be. We must keep that in mind when anybody tries to give new picture of Roosevelt other than that the country has had of him in his political career
 In the first place we can't quite under stand why republicans insist upon referring to the governors distant relationship to that great American, Theodore Roosevelt. If anything the republicans have stressed this more than the democrats. Never have we heard nor can we recall ever hearing Frank lin D. Roosevelt refer to the fact that he IS a cousin, well removed, to the late Theodore Roosevelt. Yet subordinate cabinet ofl- cial recently made most insulting attack upon the democratic nominee declaring that throughout his successful tour of the West Roosevelt was continually aping his cousin and adopting mannerisms that Freddy made famous. We know that wasn't true and we feel sure that the Amerl- can people know it couldn't be so.
 n IL agement of Governor Roosevelt Outside of the fact that he was blamed for the prison riots in New York state and few other scandals or near scandals in official circles there was little said about Roosevelt. The major portion of the Ottinger address was devoted to a glowing endorsement of Presi- dtnt Hoover. All well and good. But we do tl,ink that Mir Ottinger should realize that when he spoke of Hoover as the food ad- ministrator of Europe in the postwar days and Secretary of Commerce Hoover in the Mississippi flood period he was dealing with an entirely different Hoover than we have down in Washington now.
 The present Mir Hoover in his official capacity as president of the United States has become vote conscious. He doesn't pos sess the independence of spirit nor frmness of purpose that was his once upon time. He is bound round by the political eonven- tions of the republican party. Unlike Theo- dore Roosevelt he does not have the ability to boss his party as it should be at this time He is merely link in the chain and not the most important one. either. No one questions the work that he did in Europe in feeding millions of starving people. Nobody doubts but what when Coolidge sent him to the middle west to deal with rehabilitation and food problems he proved himself capable Of meeting the situation. But when confronted with similar crises at the outset of his ad- ministration as president. although he may have had the best of ideas on how to pro- eeed, he procrastinated Today he IS vote conscious. And vast wealth of republican patronage is being rallied to his support as the republican party's leadership is threat ened as it was never threatened before.

Oct. GA Memorable Date

The sixth day of October does not ordl- narily impress Americans as an important anniversary. In fact for most of us it passed rather quietly save for some of New York s choleric politicians who must have turned even a deeper shade of red at the Appellate court decision that a special mayoralty cleo ton must be held on November g. However, that has nothing to do with this recital of events leading up to October in the years of the seventeenth century. A group or Texans of German descent held celebration on that date this year-a celebration to commemorate the founding of the first per ment. German settlement in the United States.
 That event took place on October 6, 1883, when group of religious refugees from the German Palatinate landed at Phlla- delphia; and when you stop to think about it the date is one which was pretty important in the life of the nation. For some reason we often have singular blindness when we look back to our national origins. We talk about English settlers who landed at Ply mouth Rock and Massachusetts Bay; we know all the details about the other English settlements in Virginia. the Caroinas. and Maryland; we're familiar with the Dutch settlements at New Amsterdam, the Hudson river valley and their brief excursion into Connecticut; but We never pay much atten- ton to the incident that began the vast and profoundly important stream of German migration to North America.
 These German settlers came over on the ship Concord. ship which ranks in import ance not far below the Mayfower itself. Reaching Philadelphia they soon established the town of Germantown and paved the way for that tremendous influx of German peoples which was to continue for two full centuries and which was 10 provide the na. ton with one of its most industrious and useful groups of citizens.

Kent Hubbard. president of the Con- necticut Manufacturers Association has as- sailed all clergy for participation in politics in recent issue of Connecticut Industry. official organ of his association. We believe that he refers to active participation of church bodies more than to the individual clergymen, for sukely they are entitled to a place in the body polite as in the clerical world. If we were to deny to them the right to express opinions or even to do cam pagning we might have to do the same for other professions Where church organlza- tions enter politics harm usually results. but individual members certainly never did much damage. The pulpit is no place to preach political sermons, but certainly if our moral fibre needs strengthening by sermons let's have them in good big doses.

Few nationalities contributed more to the upbuilding of the nation. Such cities as S. Louis. Milwaukee and Cincinnati can testify abundantly to that
 Before the United States entered the World War it was fairly common for groups of Americans of German descent to com memofate the October 6 anniversary. The war. naturally. interrupted the custom; but its revival by these Texans is good news and it is to be hoped that the date here after will have. to all of us the significance that it should have.

Washington-The bonus army, supposed to have been wiped out by a raid of federal troops here last July, lives on in a dozen or more national organizations and publications.
 Anyone who tries to keep track of these various offshoots of the famous B. E. F. simply gets dizzy.
 Leaders of the bonus marchers were inspired to save something from the wreckage and build mighty movements thereon. They seek to recruit new armies from the veterans and the unemployed, working up new and changing pro- grams for bonus cashing and gen. eral unemployment relief. No. ticeable among all the organs and organizations is a great hate for MT Hoover, the Great White Fa- ther who fooled the fiag-waving bonus vets by turning the army loose on them.
 Two of the outfits have their national headquarters in Wash- ington-the B. E. r. Rank and File of America and the Khaki Shirts of America. Each has or- ganized scores of affiliated units over the country and reports the existence of various small camps or colonies which are miniatures of the camps the vets once set up in Washington.
 The B. E. F. Rank and File aims to unite and so-ordinate all veterans to promote political, so- cial and economic justice" It urges bonus payment, five billion dollars for unemployment relief, five bil- lions for public works relief, old age pensions, five-day week, unem. ployment insurance and similar measures. Active membership is limited to veterans, but anyone with 50 cents can apply for asso- ciate membership.
 In active command here is Ed ward F. Atwell, leader, who com manded the Anacostia camp the night it was wiped out. About 30 charters have been granted for chapters over the country.
 The B. E. F. News is still being published as an eight-page tabloid weekly, devoted to the cause of un- employed vets and others, bitterly assailing Hoover and War Depart ment officials and enjoying a wide circulation. It is ably edited by Joseph L. Heffernan, former judge, who has to put his name on the masthead to distinguish. it from "B. E. F. News" which is published and sold each week.
 Besides the two weeklies here thereis "The B. E. F. Press" in New York, which publishes ''The B. B. F. Crusader" as the official organ" and has produced book by George Kleinholz, former bonus army national contact officer, called "The Battle of Washington

ALLIES IN BIG DRIVE

On October 8, 1918, American British and French forces shatter- ed 20 miles of the Hindenburg de- fense system between Cambrai and St Quentin, advancing to an aver age depth of three miles and talk ing thousands of prisoners.
 The Americans took Brancourt and Fremont, and, in the verdun region, continued the fight for the remainder of the Argonne forest. Franco American forces advanced two miles on a seven-mile front east of the Mouse.
 President Wilson replied to Ger many's request for a peace barley and armistice, asking if his terms were fully accepted and if Chancel- Tor Maximilian spoke for the peo- pie. The president also called for evacuation of invaded territory be- fore recognizing a plea for an armistice.
