International Brass Tacks

Despite the passing of nearly 1000 years since the doctrine of brotherly love was preached so eloquently. there is still crying need for sympathy and understanding among nations if world peace is to be achieved, said James c. McDonald, chairman of the Foreign Policy Association in a recent ad- dress before the World Affairs Institute held in the American Womans Association Club house of New York.
 Why do nations keep on piling up armaments. despite critically unbalanced budgets?" Mir McDonald asked Not for love of such wasteful expenditures, which this year will total about four and half billion dollars; but because not one of the nations is yet willing to trust its security to the guarantees of treaties and the peace machinery of the world. It is fear and mis- trust that keep the world gigantic powder mine" he continued. Tt Is fear that breeds economic nationalism with its demand for almost prohibitive tariffs and its false hope of self-sufficieney. It is fear that makes genuine Franeo-German cooperation so difficult. Thus 1t IS fear that prevents the nations from adopting rational measures for recovery
 Mir MeDonald declared that the greatest task of statesmen today is to banish this in- ternational fear. adding that until this is accomplished there can be no guarantee of absolute security.
 The time calls for frank facing of facts, |" he concluded. We live in world that has become small tightly knit community. All intelligent men admit the fact of world economic interdependence. Its eorollary political interdependenee, which our politi- clans deny. is just as real. and we in the United States must accept that fact and its implications. We must act with the rest of the world in building up international political relationships that will correspond to the realities of modern international eco- homie life. Without our cooperation. there is no chance of success. With our coopera- tion, the work can go on.'

Not Enough Warnings

The number of warnings that State
 Forester Hawes and other public officials } have issued of recent weeks about the dan
 gers of brush fire or any bonfire In the
 open, not meeting with proper results it
 looks now as if the forests may be closed to
 all except their owners If such mandate is
 put into effect it is likely to work great
 hardship on many trout fishermen. Many
 miles of streams will be closed to them if
 the ban is ordered. Therefore 1t is to their
 advantage to cooperate with our local and
 state officers in curbing outdoor fires that
 may result in serious conflagrations
 The worst fire of the present season oc- cured in the Tunxis State Forest near Hart
 land Friday. It was discovered by forest
 lookout in Massachusetts who telephoned
 the alarm to forestry headquarters in Hart
 ford. Due to the splendid department routine
 that has been established men were on the
 scene promptly seeking to check the blaze.
 Before it could be curbed 1t had burned over
 100 acres of state-owned timber land. We
 don't doubt but what the loss by fire this
 spring will be quite high, unless we have
 plenty of wet weather in the next month.
 Precedent for the closing of the forests
 has already been established in this state.
 There was law passed in 1o31 giving the governor the power to close the woods when ait became necessary. To date it has not been invoked. although Governor Trumbul in l930 requested that all who did not belong . in our forests refrain from entering them un- til the danger of fires had passed. It also occurs to us that several times of recent years the hunting or fishing seasons were shortened for the same reason. A carelessly , dropped cigarette. cigar. match or even pipe < coals can do an immense amount of damage A glance at the records at fire headquarters . for this month would reveal an alarming { number of calls to brush fires. People have Z no business burning brush or grass unless z they take the proper precautions to control them when the blaze gets well underway. 5 Usually there isn't one such fire that $ doesn't demand chemical company's atten- { tion before it can be subdued. Those who are responsible for starting them certainly 5 have little or no consideration for their 5 neighbors or his property when they fail to 5 provide against the fire spreading Our city officials would do' well to enforce rigidly the law regarding outdoor fires.

Here's the best bit of advice on the spe- cial legislative session that we have heard to date. It comes from Dr. Edward c. Dolan of Manchester While we don agree with everything that Dr Dolan has to say about the respective chances of Governor Roosevelt and ex-Governor. Smith to be nom- mated at the democratic national oonven- tion in June we do agree with him when he declares that J. Henry Rorabaek, chairman of the republican state central committee. should be requested to promise that the re- publican members of the Legislature reverse their 1931 stand on matters of taxation. The remark was made at an address in Newington Friday night of last week and was particularly we'll chosen, it seems to this writer. We might have had oompre
 hensive survey of the tax situation in this, state had the republican majority in the General Assembly been more kindly dis posed toward democratic measure calling for just such study. However, it smacked too clearly of demoeratic origin, so it was promptly relegated to the background. Now we are faced with the spectacle of repub- lean mayor beseeehing the powers that be to discover some new forms of taxation and saying at the same time that Governor

MICHIGAN soHooLBoY LIKES PANCAKES

Eight children out of 333 examined, a repre- sentative of the Michigan tuberculosis asso- citation informs me, were found to have child hood tuberculosis. In another school the cap tain of the schools basketball team. although health, was found suffering with early adult tuberculosis and was taken out of athletics and put in bed in tuberculosis sanatorium. Be- sides basketball this boy, eighteen years old, 69 1-2 inches tall, 173 pounds, had various other school activities, and helped support his sister and his foster mother. In this same school the tuberculin skin tests of 264 pupils gave s1 positive reactions (45 boys, 36 girls) i; these were x-rayed, and besides the basketball captain ten other boys and three girls were found to have childhood tuberculosis, and three boys and one girl were recorded as suspects
 The eight pupils with childhood tuberculo- sis (which would have esaped recognition if these routine tuberculn tests had not been made) were asked to keep written list of their food for month One boy turned in a record of 231 pancakes, eight daily save one day when he had only seven. Besides that his bread, four biscuits eight crackers, "A glasses of milk, 59 cups of coffee, four pieces of cake, ters. two of fish, two of liver. one of boiled meat two of chicken, 84 of potatoes six cookies, noe apple, one banana, two oranges, 10 servings of cabbage, one tangerine. ..
 My friend of the tuberculosis association says this boy was IS years old, 65 inches tall and weighed 1s1 pounds. and thinks the diet the boy subsists on is suited quite obviously for hardened adult digestion.
 Except the coffee which I believe should not be given to children under 16 years of age. l fail to agree that the menu is in any way diff ficult to digest, and think it is pretty we'll balanced and adequate diet diets go these days. Some greens and some eggs might have made it almost perfect.
 Several items mentioned by the boy, such as of value, though not readily measured. Prob applesauce, kraut pickled beet. dumplings, are ably 1t is the 231 pancakes that staggers my friend of the tuberculosis association.
 Pancakes may not be as easy for neurotic, introspective valetudinarian to eat as some prepared foods. But have carried on exten- sive researches and I am convinced that a couple stacks of pancake, with plenty of but ter and yrup on, are preferable, from the health standpoint, to a couple of eggs for breakfast, I am not at all facetious about this. I do really believe the prejudice against pan- cakes is as groundless as is the prejudice against fried foods in general. Of course if you don't like pancakes it is just as well not to eat 'em But for goodness sake, don't try to impose your morbid notions on us well folk who like 'em.

Silence

t Many will agree with Cardinal O Cornell
 of Boston when he says: T am deeply con-
 vinced that there is too much talk. It is too
 serious time to talk unless something ser-
 ious and constructive is said. something of real use to the community. Confusion will
 nof right this problem. Froth, sometimes frofb with real poison in it. will not help"
 There is room. no doubt. for some kinds of idle talk. People need recreation. and in
 erious times pure foolins has its value. We zou1d endure quite little of such stuff as Gilbert and Sullivans operas just now. or E, up-to-dafe Alice in Wonderland. or the |bunrd fancics of another Artemus Ward or 5iII Nye.

that of Minnesota 2,500,000. The park would be sanctuary in which all species of animals and birds would multiply.
 Much will have to be done before this enterprise can be consummat- ed. The Quetico-Superior council and the Izaak Walton league of America have charge of it. The former proposes that park>line conditions be maintained on all lakes, rivers and islands: that the hinterland be administered under modern forest pratcices: that game, fish and fur-bearers be pro- tected; and that an international board, representative of both coun- tries, shall develop the park. Tracts of private property on this side would have to be acquired. A treaty between the United Sattes and Can ada would be necessary. In this country the Shipstead-Nolan bill. which withdrew from entry all public land needed for the park and charged the Forest Service to conserve it for recreational use, was signed by President Hoover On July 10,1930. The Canadian government controls all the terri tory on the other side of the bor- der, and may be depended on to put nothing in the way of the re- uuired treaty.

College Beauty Contests

There is at Syracuse University, in New York state, director of public relations" named Dr Burges Johnson, who might be a press agent or publicity man if he lacked learned degree. Anyway, he comes to attention because of letter written to him by James Montgomery Flagg, the artist who is reputed to have ''glorified the Amer ican girl The university apparently wanted to be glorified, so it invited Flagg to pick the six prettiest girls in the junior class. Whereupon the artist replied:
 Sure = I'll pick ou the prettiest gals if any = or if six. All sorts of colleges every year do this to me-salt water, fresh water and bilge water colleges = and have had to gaze on some of the most awful female mugs in this broad though narrow land. T know now why there are so many pretty gals in New York - all the ugly ones are in the colleges. What else can they do' Let me see the worst''
 This artistic roast serves the colleges right, even if the girls at Syracuse don't deserve it. Beauty competitions in colleges are one of the most curious phases of this curiously mixed civilization of ours. If college student is pretty, that is so much to the good. But why oheapen college by this sort of thing, which has its objectionable features even in summer resort? Is it beauty or brains that college stands for? It would be as fitting to apply the culture test to Ziegfeld chorus.

Cross Is Boss

Although Governor Wilbur L. Cross is apparently the mildest- hammered of men, he seems to be just trifle put out at the atti- tude of various democrats in Connecticut. By virtue of his official position secured through startling overthrow of the repub- hcan party at the polls two years ago Gov crnor Cross is not merely the titular. but the actual head of the democratic party in Con- nectieut. Just as Alfred E. Smith is SUD- posed to be the head of the national demo- cratic party and as such speaks with author ity on such subjects as nominations and cleo tions so is Cross in this state.
 There is too little regard for his position as governor and head of the party. Leaders Tn various sections of the state should read carefully some of the remarks he made last week in an effort to restore harmony where diseord seems to rest. Discussing the choice of delegates to the national convention he declared that It should be clearly under stood that the question does not concern leadership of the party in this state. By vir- tue of my position as governor am the ac- tual, as we'll as the titular, leader of Connec- 2 ticut democrats. So long as I am SO recog- nized 1t will be my endeavor to lead in fact, an 1 cannot view the outcome of the present primary contest as altering my neutral posi- tion.
 Governor Cross has advocated the selection of two groups of delegates, the one favor ing Roosevelt, the other Smith. There has been seant consideration given to this idea. though, as both factions seem to think that they will control the coming state conven- ton. We still stick to our statement of last week that Connecticut will have only six teen votes in the convention and these six teen votes may not matter one way or the other. What the democrats of the state should be concerned with is the task of unit ing behind the successful presidential condi- date and those named at the fall convention a'ro nominate the state ticket. Governor Cross is the boss. Let him give the orders.
