NEW YORK, May 12.-An appeal for
international political cooperation as a
necessary step toward economic rehabil-
itation was broadcast from Basel, Swift
zerland, last night by Gates w. Nc
Garrah, president of the Bank for In
ternational Settlements.
McGarrah's speech, rebroadcast in
the United States, was devoted largely
to summary Of the banks operations,
which followed along the lines OF his
annual report to stockholders.
In calling upon the governments to
SCENE to a decision in the political
field which would tend to lessen the
economic crisis" McGarrah said:
IF the position of the international
balances of payment is continuously to
be upset by changes; if the flow of cap
ital from one nation to another is to be
stopped by articles which makes the
fulf1llment of contract almost impos-
sible: if the existing short-sighted ten

not arrested, then the international
credit system cannot function properly,
nor can prosperity return in America or
elsewhere"
"Stabilization of the worlds cur
rency." he continued. will be an indiS-
pensable after the world crisis as it was
after the World War"
McGarrah said deposits in the Bank
for International Settlements have
steadily risen since January. despite the
world crisis, until the institution now
holds the equivalent Of more than
$3.50, 100000 of the cash reserves of
European central banks.

AS examples Of such "hokum" he

Dean Lawrence also censured charts
purporting to show college graduates

Young Men In Politics

Word is spreading about that young men of wealth and social position are get ting into the political game this year in un- precedented numbers. Some of them are campaigning for older candidates. Many of them are themselves running for offices. par tieularly for positions in state legislatures.
 It is a good development, though one which may surprise the public. Only few months ago there was discussion in news papers and college papers about political careers for college graduates. the general tone of which indicated that the young men considered the game beneath them It was impossible to go into politics and keep clean. they said.
 It'is fortunate that so many of them are acting on different theory. Politics needs the young men of the country. It needs the able. eager. clear sighted young men and women. If enough of them go into it, they can sweep out some of the dirt. Politics. after all, is the science of civil government, and what is more important to the welfare of society today than honest, intelligent. well-conducted government

both parties may know what nom nations will be made, but the pub lie is quite in the dark.
 The declaration of Mir Ayres is particularly Welcome because 1t re- veals readiness to submit the case for his nomination to popular Judgment. His nomination is by no means a sure thing. On the con trary, 1t probably will be opposed by considerable number in the party who Have favored the nomi, nation of Augustine LonerGan,, rep resentative in congress from the first district. Prudence might have dictated that Mir Ayres not subject himself to risk of defeat, but in declaring himself, Mir Ayres has given the democrats an opportunity to make . deliberate choice. For doing so much, he Is entitled to all credit. If some citizens of his sort were inclined to give the pub lie an opportunity to employ their abilities in public service, the job of running democratic govern ment would be. easier.
 In all probability, the voters of Connecticut will decide when the moment arrives to replace Mir Bingham with a new man in the senate, whether MT Ayres. MT Lon ergan or another. The experience that MT Bingham has gained and the courage that he has shown. in the ofiice can scarcely fail to i'm press the voters as warranting his reelection. Even 50. the state will gain rather than lose if democrats put up strong candidate against him. The declaration of MT Ayres at least makes certain that the democrats will have an opportunity to make a free choice of candi- dates.

Not Another Achilles

Alfred E. Smith. former governor of New York, has been lkened unto Achilles by even his staunehest supporters. Achilles. when the Greeks needed his mighty strength at the Siege of Troy. preferred to sulk in his tent like an angry child. It would seem as if comparison of Al Smith to Achilles was slightly odous. At least to our way of thinking, it does the 1928 democratic can didate for the presidency an injustice. We would rather not discuss the matter at all. but We simply can't stand by and see the man who boiled the greatest democratic vote in history maligned as we feel sure he is by many democrats with the best of intentions but with slightly biased views.
 When we state that Smith polled the greatest democratic vote in history four years ago, we do SO with the knowledge that his electoral vote was far from satisfying. We do so with the knowledge that he might have been elected to the presidency, but for several factors which deprived him of many votes that normally would have gone to the democratic presidential candidate. that normally would have gone for Smith had he been candidate for any other office but the presidency We have no intention of stirring up old arguments at this point. We don't intend to go over the causes and ef- fects of Smiths defeat in this article. We simply intend to state that we don't think that Al Smith is sulking in his tent or the Empire State building for that matter
 His absence from Sea Girt this past week end when Governor Roosevelt launched his eastern campaign should not occasion sur prise We don't view it as a rude gesture. Put yourself in Smiths place if you can and see what you would do under similar eir- cumstanees. To our way of thinking he has shown remarkable restraint He was certainly treated shabbly by certain ele- nents of his party in 1928 notwithstanding his tremendous vote. And if anybody can describe the episode in which Speaker of the House Garner figured during the national convention as anything but an insult to Smiths intelligence. then we are sadly mistaken.
 Taking it all in all. former Governor Smith has not been guilty of such sins of omission or commission with regard to his party loyalty as can't be forgiven. This talk of his not supporting the Roosevet- Garner ticket by active participation in the campaign is just mere talk Mir Smith can be expected to support the democratic ticket. but having been relegsted to private life by various forces in the nation, why should he be expected to shine the boots that kicked him out' It's not human nature and Al Smith is very human being. So are the rest of us

Feminine Measurements

Dr. Herman Bundesen, president of the Chicago board of health believes that the athletic habits of the modern girl may aetu- ally be changing the physical proportions ot women Measurements of numerous out door girls have been taken in Chicago this summer which bear out that idea. Many of the young women are as wide about the shoulders as about the hips. Perhaps it would be better to say they are as narrow through the hips as asross the shoulders
 Swinging has developed shoulders and muscles which propel the girl of today through the water easily. Greater freedom of the body sunshine, proper diet, lack ot constructing clothing have helped to produce straight bones and firm muscles. She is SO active in all her living taht she has no superfuous fat She breathes more deeply and carries herself better than her predeces sors of wasp waist days.
 The doctor does not say whether the new proportions are more beautiful than the old. or whether Venus de Milos pro- portions wider hips than shoulders - have become artistieally outmoded. If the girls are healthier and stronger than here tofore, that should be counted a gain. Beauty may then be expected to take care of itself.

Too Much Switching

To our way of thinking democrats of these days to do the party any good With the state convention only week away there looms fight for practically every place on the ticket as we'll as congressional and sem atorial nominations. Of course, fight for a place on the ticket might indicate that the party believes its chances of carrying the state excellent. But in view of the fact that republicans are rather confident that they have persuaded former Governor Irum- bull to reenter politics it will do the demo- crats no good to do too much scrambling
 At one time Mayor Francis Maloney of Meriden was groomed for the congressional nomination in the third district where dem ocrat can win this year much easier than m previous years due to Representative 1ilson retirement. His entrance into the congress sonal race almost forced the democratic can ddate in l930 Major James A. Shanley. out of the fight. In fact in congressional primaries delegates were instructed to support Maloney. Now it looks as if the leaders are going to let Shanley have the nomina- ton and inject Maloney into the senatorial fight to buck the aspirations of Professor Harry Morgan Ayres of Westport, an ae- knowledged candidate.
 Of course. fight for second place on the ticket can be expected With Waterbury backing Controller Daniel J. Leary for the nomination which he had two years ago. The candidacy of former Mayor Fred At water of Bridgeport is not a sudden or pre- cpitated one. In fact, it should be regarded as perhaps the most natural fight that the convention may witness. By virtue of his showing in lo30 Leary is entitled to run again. It is up to the Atwater forces to prove that their man has the statewide backing that is claimed for him. Personally we thnk that the majority of delegates may prefer to sec the same lineup ss 1o30. Cross and Leary.
 There is much to be done by the leaders of the party in the week that will elapse before the convention opens. We sincerely hope that there will be but one slate pre- sented to the delegates at New London. It will make for determined stand against the powerful ticket that republicans are quietly whipping into shape. Let no voter be mis- taken. the Rorabaek organization is going to stage its greatest fight at the polls in November. It is up to the democrats who supportsS Governor Cross in 1930 to unite behind him and to back him to the limit to win. Hseean do that with show of unison by party leaders
The Waterbury Democrat., 1932-09-01

Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt of New York will call special legislative session immediately after the November elections Its purpose will be to deal with state relief problems. This should interest Connecti- cut officials who seem to be divided evenly on this subject. There are those who be- lieve that only special session can enable our cities and towns to weather the coming winter months. But there are as many who believe that local initiative will care for any distress that may arise. New York state voters will decide S30.000.000 bond issue to provide funds for unemployment relic: at the November election. It is for this reason that the governor and others think that the special session should be postponed until after the electorate has had chance to express itself upon the bond issue. Of course with such an issue authorized 1t un- doubtedly would be necessary to assemble the Legislature to make proper disposal of these funds. But in Connecticuts case there is not likely to be any bond issue. as it is like pulling teeth to get the Legislature to commit the state to the policy of issuing bonds. It permits cities to do this but closes that door to the state. New York naturally has more and diverse problems than Connecticut. If it feels the need of special session of the Assembly to provide for the future all we'll and good. Connect- cut need not feel the same urge and still meet the situation as eapably.

News Or Rumor

The newspapers are blamed good deal for their shortcomings and misdeeds. The increased crime is laid at their door because they print SO much crime news How much better. cry some shortsishted critics, if they were rigidly censored and allowed only to print what is good for the public to know. Some go SO far as to say how much better if there were no newspapers at all. If all newspapers suspended publication. a citizen wrote to an editor to say. prosperity would return at once.
 It is difficult theory to test. because in spite of their grumhling. readers really do not like to get along without newspapers. Yet the thing had brief trial in Butte. Mon- tana. recently. The two dailies there suspended publication because of wage dis pute with their printers. At once the an eient method of news distribution. the one that has existed ever since human beings learned to communicate with one another. went into action. Rumor and gossip ran wild through the town. and the stories they spread were far more alarming than any news which would have been published those two days.
 In spite of congregations and occasional errors. the newspapers teally keep the pub lie rather accurately informed. Knowing that facts are going to be printed daily ealms the imagination and fears of readers and helps to prevent the spread of wild tales which might do considerable harm.

 Farley's Outlook
 It must be admitted that Jim Farley, the Roosevelt manager, is widely respected and liked. Farley was guilty of the two.thirds rule fiasco and other fHmbles at Chi cago, but he came through ontop. Of course If his man loses the election no one is likely to hear of MT Farley again and there are plenty of pitfalls ahead of him prior to November.
 Most of those who know him wish him better political luck than fell to Clem Shaver, the fine old West Virglnian who went into oblivion after John w. Davis was licked in 1924, or John Raskob, who after losing with Al Smith built up a fighting party machine, spent lot of money and after the convention nominated his enemy Roosevelt found himself with naught but notes for $400,0O0.
 Forming guiding triumvirate at New York headquarters with Farley are Louis Howe. Roose- velt's secretary and for years his confidential man, and Robert Jackson of New Hampshire, sec- retary of the national committee. Howe is credited with brains but appears to be markedly unpopular in spots. Jackson has Q reputa- ton as Q mediator.
 The democratic managers haven't been on the scene long enough to indicate whether they will outshine the republican man. agers. They are introducing some innovatoins in campaign manage ment and 1t remains to be seen how the schemes work.
