Waiting for the Facts

IT still is less wise to theorize and
L even build legislation upon
happening still shrouded in the
dark. But whatever the eventual
evidence, it will be best to have our
decisions rest upon the mass Of facts
and not upon a single set of circum-
stances.
Fear has been looSed, and that in
itself probably is the most tragic
/ consequence of the deed in Hopewell.
To the real and acute anguish Of
one family is added the dread OF
millions. No child from now on will
return from school five minutes late
without causing his parents fearful
forebodings. Nothing which has
happened within my lifetime is more
calculated to cause nationwide
anxiety and suffering. =
Accordingly, think it is singu-
larly bad time for writers and speak
ers to shout that law has broken
down utterly and that no American.
child is safe. This is an exaggerated
conception,

adults during the last two or three.
years, but the Selling of small chill
dren still is of rare occurrence. The.
fact that it always receives such a
large amount of newspaper space is.
testimony to its rarity.
Naturally, it is the wish of every
one of us that it should become not
only rare, but impossible. Yet it
would be much better not to add
phantom fear to the equipment Of
parents. Congestion, unemployment,
sickness, and the reckless driver
give every father and mother
enough to worry about as things
are. These are by all odds the more
likely menaces.

ALL WIDELY KNOWN

Colonel Charles W. Pickett. 75, a native of this city. founder of the old New Haven Evening Leader and editor of the puhlica- ton and it's successors, the Times. Leader, the Times Union and fin- ally the Times, died yesterday at his home in New Haven. Colonel Pickett's death was received with lregret by many of the older resi- dents of Waterbury. who knew or Remembered him and by the mem
 bers of the newspaper profession
 as Q whole throughout Connecti-
 cut and elsewhere.
 Colonel Pickett's death was one
 of three of interest to Waterbury which occurred outside the city lyesterday. In New Haven the
 death of Alderman Francis B. Reilly occurred. He was 53 years
 of age and was very prominent in the Knights of Columbus. There fore, he was known to many here. | The other death was that ol

There Are Five Billions of Those Bonds Bond Holders Prot tective Committees Are Reor- ganized

New York, Nov s25' '--1UP) ) -z5-. Plans for reorganizing z payments on the nations five billion dollars of defaulted real estate bonds went forward to-day after three bona holders protective cornmittees and marged their efforts and appointed Samuel Seabury head of the new organization.

\ New York, November 25-(UP) 1.-The chief obstacle to the return Of prosperity to the people of tn" United States. and the one which may be most quickly removed by prompt and intelligent action al Washington, is that due to the so- called inter-governmental war debts. M " r It is assumed that because these debts are debts, due on their face to theI government of the United States. would. profit by their pay nient ASld would be relieved of the necessity Of taxing themselves to make good the sums that would be lost were these debts not paid. These statements are true In form, but not in fact. Every day that this debt question remains unset tied. the difficulty of recovering from the depression in the United States is increased and every farmer, every wage-worker, every inanufacturer, every transporta- ton system and every public util- ity corporation is made to carry new and heavy burdens and to suffer new and heavy losses. ss
 This is because the debts repre- sent series of conditions which have developed since the war, the total and united effect of which is to strangle the trade of the world, to deprive agriculture and indus try of their markets, and to leave us all slowly sstagnating under con- ditions which are already unbear- able and which will become more tnbearablc, not only month by month. but day by day.
 Had the questions connected with these debts been carried to solution in June, 1881, when the existing moratorium was proposed. Tn the spirit of the agreement be- tween Germany and the allied na- lions, signed at Lausanne on July last. the people of the United States would almost certainly have been we'll out from under the i'll effects of the economic and fi- Isancial crisis before this time. It is the dawling uncertainty and the lack of constructive and courage ous leadership at Washington which have held, and are holding, us in the grasp of want and misery and distress, and which are injur- iously affecting the whole world Some of the statements constantly given to the press by leading mem- bers of the senate and the house. 0f repreSentatives are quite under palling In their lack of under standing, and in their complete disregard of the, interests of the Americah people.
 l. They do not seem to care how long or how much we are kept in distress. in want and in unemploy- inent. The statements which they SC continually make are contra dicted by every important econo- mist in the world.
 For a number of years we have been fooling ourselves with words about this whole international debt situation. We have said that the debt payments due to us bore no relation to the reparation pay ments to be made by Germany; but they did. The reason was thnt unless the reparation payments were made by Germany to its creditors, those nations would not be able to make the payments that were due to iIs. Moreover, the money with which to enable Ger many to make her payments was obtained for several years in large part, If not wholly, by loans from the United states. We are, there-
