try.
obviously the council said, Gin
dustry as now mechanical cannot
supply work for more than 50,000,-
000 working men and women in the
United States six days per week and
long hours per day. The nation must
either give up machinery or give up
the long work week and the long

Constructing public works by hand
labor instead Of by machines is
wasteful from the point of view Of
mere monetary costs. But it is not
on~e-hundredth part as wasteful as
the policy of reducing millions of
workers and their families to beg
gary by the use of machines.
Society must consider human val
ues in regard to the unemployment
problem imposed on us by unpa-
triotic employers. If they persist in
imposing unlimited amounts of la
bor-saving machinery on American
labor and refuse adequately to short

work day, then society has the moral
responsibility to protect the defense

Who Buys The Meat?

Another of the little contradictions of this contradictory era is the fact that the people of this country ate more meat in the first six months of l932 than they did in the first six months of l93l. Pork, Lamb. beef and veal were all consumed in larger quantities than usual. Supposedly, we have all been a little shorter in cash and credit this year than last. and considerably shorter than in l930 or 1919. Yet here we are, buying and using millions of pounds
 more meat than when we had more money to spend for everything, including food
 Figures are said not to lie, but they can be infinitely confusing. The purchasing power of the average American pay envelope has dropped little more than the cost of living Millions of workers have no pay envelope at all. The doctors and public health officials tell us we are in better health because we are eating less, but more sensible, food since the depression. On top of all that we buy and eat more meat than we did when business was better and far more than citizens of China or Italy or other lands where poverty is no new thing The ex- planation may be that we are not really so poor as we have thought.

Judge Raymond A. Johnson. republican

Judge Raymond A. Johnson. republican representative in the Legislature from Manchester. is just about ready to give up some of the numerous positions he has been holding in the last decade Mir Johnson IS facetiously referred to by democratic critics from time to time in various catchpenny phrases such as "Five-Job" Johnson. Re- gently Dr. Edward Dolan of his home town raised the ante and called him Sever. Job Johnson. Referring to this Judge Johnson says. Well. anyone who wants five of the jobs am holding can have them today and with them lot of headaches. for whlc!, there is no remuneration whatever. And then you can publish that as for the remain ing two jobs hold, they pay salary and propose to keep them as long as l can.
 All of which is undoubtedly leading up to Judge Johnsons intention not to be a can didate to succeed himself in the Legislature again. He has served five terms and was house leader at the last session and might again hold that office if the republicans con- trol the Legislature next year. As to his other jobs. we always thought of him as the one man who was represented in the three branches of our government, execu- tive. legislative and judicial. He was judge. representative, and member of the staff of the Attorney Generals office. It

Poor Bottle, Good Wine

A scientific experiment carried on by the Empire Marketing Board in London should interest some Americans. A test IS being made to determine the effect on wine of being bottled in low-grade glass bottle. Procuring the poor bottles was really dffi- cult, but the committee persisted until it found what it wanted and the wine was poured in
 The experiment has been in progress only two years. Official tasters admit it is too soon to call the results conclusive. but SO far the wine in the inferior bottles has greater freedom from bitterness and "roughness" than the wine in good quality bottles. If this still proves to be the case after further experiments, bottle manufacturers doubtless will begin producing bad ones to order
 The wine industries of Australia and South Africa are said to be following the experiments with interest. California grape growers may find themselves interested, too. If there is to be more wine in this country one of these days. it might as well be better wine.

s3z:zzo.ooo.ooo for sh'rss listed on the New York Stack Exchange ths line of progress slopes upward with occasional lapses fira at . moderate slant and then more stseply until on September 1. 1929. the peak was reached with market values aggreTating S89.668. 100000. There was a gain of more than S57.000. 900. 900 in less than two years and half. No wonder the nation felt rich and Congress threw money around and everybody went into debt for self-indulgenee or to make more money.
 Then the path started down the other side of the mountain. Right off, there was a terrific drop through the clouds to the bottom of cliff. About $25.000, ,000.- 900 disappeared that fall. By the middle of l930 the market had rebounded and regained about half the loss but it soon slid over another cliff, and then continued tumbiing over an apparently endless series of cliffs. till it struck bottom this summer or what everybody hopes was bottom - at the Sl5.633, ,000 900 level.
 Nearly five dollars out of every six invested in the Stock Market had been shaken out of the nations pocket. The visible loss was $74.000.000.000 No wonder every body felt blue and business stalled. Lately the market has started climbing another mountain. May the progress continue! But in our present mood we shall be satisfied if the summit is not so high.

A Book a Day
New Novel by Wodehouse Is
 Above Average
by BRUCE CATION

When a new book by P. G. Wode- house comes out, 1t really isn't nec- essary for the critic to do anything but give the books name, tell its price and let the public know where 1t can be bought.
 MT Warehouses books are al- ways funny, always engagingly written. always charmingly devoid of any underlying vein of serious ness. They never try to expose anything, they never try to satir- ize anything. MT Wodehouse sinl- ply writes about impossible peo- pie doing impossible things in an exceedingly comical manner. And what more can you ask?
 All of this is by way of preface to the announcement that there is new Wodehouse book on the market. It is called Hot Water" and it's one of his best.
 The scene of this one Is a French chateau, which has been rented by a rich American who suffers under the domination of his wife, who is trying to get him appointed American ambassador to France. To further her aims, she invites to the chateau a Ia nous American senator who is touring Europe and young French vicomte; and into the thick Of things charge an American football star. an English heiress. two Chicago gangsters and a highbrow English novelist. s
 Doubtless. you can imagine what MT Wodehouse does with all of these people. If you follow my Ad- vice, you'll read "Hot Water', at once.
 It's published by Doubleday, Doran and Company, and 1t costs

Washington-If all the people who have muttered this year that they were going to vote for Nor man Thomas actually would do so there would be a bad case of shakes and shivers in Wall street next winter.
 The high-water mark of the so- cialist candidates popularity prob ably came around the time of the national conventions of the two major political factions, when everyone realized that here was another contest between the same old republican and democratic parties, which looked more alike than ever.
 Being forced to choose between Hoover and Roosevelt was an- other thing that seemed to irk a lot of people after 1t became ap- parent that Roosevelt wouldn't be blocked at Chicago. It is probable that both tho major candidates were at about their lowest ebb in public esteem, insofar as concerns 1882. And it was then that you heard so many voters saying, grimly and as if they expected to shock their listeners rather bad ly: I'm going to vote for Nor man Thomas"
 May Get a,c;oo,oco Votes
 Of course a lotof them won't do anything of the sort. Many democrats who used to profess to despise Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt are getting over 1t. Hoover's position seems to nave improved. Most voters are not Of the type to vote for a man when they know he can't win.
 But Thomas Is going to poll a large vote. Some conservative ob- servers think he will get at least 2.000. 0.000. which would be twice as many as any socialist candidate in this country ever had before and about seven times as many as Thomas boiled in 1928. It was Eugene V. Debs, serving a term in the federal penitentiary for a wartime speech, who got a mill lion votes in 1920.
 There are those who think the socialist vote this year might be multiplied two or three times If 1t were not for the widely held theory that a ballot for Thomas is just "a vote thrown away"
 
 'Protest, Votes
 A vote for Thomas is a protest vote, however, and there are mill lions of folks who want to cast just that kind of vote. Most of them will vote for Roosevelt and some of them who vote for Thomas would rather be wouldn't be elected. It Is difficult to tell how extensively Americans have actually been converted to social ism, although 1t appears that the masses are not focking to the

THE VANISHING WHALERs (New Haven R Register)

Look to America's whaling fleet for a picture of decline that will make most other industrial de- clines picayune affairs. Seventy four years ago the fleet comprised ,198,594 gross tons of sailing ves- sells. At the end of the last fiscal year, reports the Bureau of Nayi- gation and Steamboat Service of the Department of Commerce. the fleet consisted on an even dozen such ships. And the entire whal- ing fleet, including steamers and one motorship. aggregated only 2,014 gross tons.
 The cause for this decline can hardly be decimation of whales. They still are plentiful. The Long Island Sound excursionist who gets out beyond Montauk knows sorfle- thing about that; early this sum- mer the giants Of the sea were seen there in hundreds.
 And while that fact does not go for real proof. for the Montank species is supposed to be valueless for oil, real proof does come in re- ports of the troubles of Norway whalers. They have just decided on a whale -oii strike not to sell 1t at the, present market price of about SPA q barrel.
 The industry is not dead; 1t merely has left this country and left 1t in thorough fashion. Fur thermore, what ships there are left in the American fleet operate from Seattle and San Francisco. New England, once the whalers' strong hold. is out of the picture.

Hartford is making strong bid for the site of the New England home loan bank branch. It will be located in one of the following four cities: Boston, Worcester. Springfield Of Hartford. While we would like to see it come to Hartford, we think that more centrally located town, such as Worcester or Springfield. is more apt to be chosen. Of course. it is advantageous to establish the bank immediately as there are already heavy demands being made by in- dividuals for loans. Incidentally once estab- lisfed there will be more information avail able as to whom can secure loans and under what conditions.

THE KATYDID
(Hartford Courant)


 The katydid is the. insect of which Oliver Wendell Holmes wrote, "Thou sayest such a simple getting for the moment that man himself is given to this, no matter whether he is educated or un- learned. On the whole, we much prefer to hear the katydid, when we have opportunity, than man when he becomes asscrtive and dis cusses politics, theology or medi- cine.
 It seems to us that these insects are less numerous and far less vo- cal in the neighborhood of Hart ford than they are along Connec- ticut shores, and we regret 1t. as we find that listening to them is somewhat restful. Often, and when younger, have we heard them, fall- ing asleep before they finished their conversation, but we failed to understand the purport of their theme song.
 One does not mind looking at the insect. It's face is serious and it's countenance is by no means mobile. Each and every one im- presses the beholder by its extreme gravity, in that resembling elderly danes, but their progress from one leaf or twig to another is almost Impressive because of .deliberation with which the journey is carried out.
 But when night comes, and one is in bed, the creatures become vo- cal. They may incline some listenk CTS to thoughts of murder, though we do not now why, for to us they bring to mind the fact that there is now an abundance of sweetcorn

Redistricting Needed

There are many matters of importance to come before the l933 session of the Leg islature. Coming first naturally will be legislation dealing with the relief of the un- employed. But when the state solons find time they should devote few hours of their deliberations to general house-cleaning. While doing that we suggest our state sen- atcrial districts be reapportioned. It is high time that this was done. Further delay will only make the present districts more lop- sided than they are at present. speaking not of geographical size but population. A cur sorry examination of the figures of thirty five districts reveals how sadly awry they are.
 Our first thought is for our own city. Waterbury's two senatorial districts vary in proportion almost two to one. For instance. the fifteenth district. comprising the first. second and third wards has population of 62.568. while the sixteenth, the fourth and fifth wards. has only 37.334. That tallies exactly with .Waterburys federal census figures of l930 - 99,902. The fifth dis triet. comprising Avon, Berlin, Bristol Burlington. Pennington. Painville. South ington. and West Hartford has 8l.173 peo- pie in it. But the largest district of all is the twenty seventh. Greenwich and Stam ford. with 89.877 population.
 If our General Assembly is to continue the contradictory custom of electing sem ators upon the basis of one to SO many people and representatives on the basis of so many to each town then it is high time that it set about reapportioning itself. There have been attempts made at the last few ses- sions to interest the legislators in this task an arduous one to be sure. but necessary one. ali to no avail. May we humbly peti- ton those legislators who will be elected this fall to do their utmost to make our sena- torisl districts conform in population size if nothing else. If this means creation of an extra district all well and good. Provision is made for that in the constitution. But at any rate do something to give legislators equal powers.
