More Honors For Pulaski

Representative James M. Mead of Buffalo N. r., has introduced resolution in Con- gross urging that body to designate October 1 1 as Pulaski Memorial Day. This is merely one of many of similar nature that flooded congressional legislative channels of recent years. not to mention state legislatures. However. Congress has already taken action on Pulaski Day. Last spring it passed an act if our memory doesn't fail US which com pels the president to proclaim October II as Pulaski Day and 10 ask for some general form of observance of the date.
 President Hoover followed this dictate last fall and l932 will probably go down on record as the year in which there was the first real public recognition of the Polish war hero. who died of wounds received during the siege of Savannah during the Revolutionary War. Of course a good many people may have forgotten that several years ago the Bureau of Printing and Engraving issued commemorative stamp in his honor. A number of states have recognized October Il ss Pulaski Day by annual proelamstions. this.
 The incoming Legislature will doubtless receive another request in l933 to set aside the day in honor of the Polish War hero. Democrats supported the measure in l93l, but it was defeated along strictly party lines. And all that was asked was a simple procla- nation from the governor calling attention to the fact that Pulaski died on October l and it would be suitable for the residents of the state to pay their respects to his mem ory on that date. That is all that is con- fained in the present federal statute request ing a presidential proclamation. Repre- sentative Mead would go even further than that. But in the crush of such matters as international debts disarmament prohibi- tion, and the like his measure is apt to be overlooked.

A Book a Day
by BRUCE CATION
False Dawn of Progress

The progressive movement in politics seemed destined to do great things, during the first 10 years of this century. Tho follow CTS of Roosevelt. Wilson, Bryan. LaFollctte and the rest looked eagerly and confidently for new dawn. And then, during and after the war, the movement collapsed; to-day the new freedom" seems more remote than 1t did in 1912; Armageddon seems, after all, to have been q lost cause.
 Why should this be? Well, Farewell to Reforn," by John mberlain, studies the progress sive movement with admirable thoroughness and intelligence, and offers an explanation very like that reached previously by Lincoln Steffeps.
 The chief trouble, says MT Chamberlain, was that the pro- gressiyes failed to think things through. They failed, in short, to see that oppression, graft, favorit- ism and control of the few by the many are inherent in the profit system. They wanted to get back to the dawn of the factory system when such move was manifestly impossible.
 So to-day, their reforms look in- effective.
 Wilson and Roosevelt como in for soDle severe criticism in this book. MT Chamberlain calls Ln- Toilette the greatest of the pro- gressives; but even he, says MT Chamberlain. failed tO gee that A. progressive must. in the end, be- come either tired cynic--or q revolutionist.

Let Us Cooperate
Rabbi Feldman's Suggestion for Interdenomina- tional and Uniyersial Good Will Season
 Is Approved
Is Approved
CATHOLIC TRANsCRIPT)

Rabbi Abraham J. Feldman, editor of the Jewish Ledger Pub lications, announced that he will publish a good will issue on De- cember gard. The Jewish Feast of the Maccabees, an eight day fcs- tival, very nearly coincides in time and sentiment with Christmas and its octave, as observed by the nunions the season is one of good will and fellowship" Rabbi Feldman would make the express sion of good will interdenomfna tional and universal. He Is to be commended for his effort in be- half of the community spirit which should reign during the holiday season and indeed throughout the whole year.
 The Jew can keep his creed, the Catholic can keep his, and the Protestant his, without thinking evil, or speaking evil of those who refuse to accept his tcnets and his practices. Bigotry is alien to all religion. God is the Creator of ail of us. If all cannot agree, and If some are right and some wrong in their relations with Him, He tol- crates and sustains all. If He can bear with us, we shall be follow ing His divipe example when we bear with those who disagree with us. We are all members of a conn mon humanity, and we should be willing to live together in peace and good will.
 For many centuries and in many countries, the Jews have known how to cultivate the minority com- plex--not the inferlority complex. as some would have it. The story of the christians' treatment of the sons of Abraham is not . glorious one. Many of them cultivated the superiority complex. When they wanted to make good bargain with the Jew they could be gra- cious enough. When they were abroad on the Rialto they could be un-Christian and heartIesa enough. In writing the Merchant of Venice Shakespeare was but following the Gesta Romanorum, Latin compilation of aiiegorical tales, when he shows us how bru- tally Bassanio and the other mcr- chants treated Shylock. Shylock knew how to take rebun. He had to take 1t, many q time and oft.

Wethersfeld is vitally interested in the tercentenary plans of Connecticut. The town is also agog over the situation in which it finds itself, Wethersheld and Windsor have long been engaged in bitter feud as to which town is the older. Both claim to be the original Connecticut settlement. Both offer much proof for their claims. Now with the tereentenary in the offing and Hartford and Windsor proceeding with plans for its observance, Wethers6eld resi- dents are pondering whether to join these two places in joint celebration or to con- duet their own. We'd suggest the first plan.

It is a simple matter then to figure out the number of congressman your state is entitled to. by dividing 280,762 (the last unit employed by the federal bureau) into the states population.

Keep The Tax Down

It has been proposed many times that Connecticut increase its tax on gasoline. We happen to be one of two or three states that only affix two-eent levy to every gallon of gasoline sold. In this we have been much niore fortunate than those states where gasoline taxes have been used to cover multitude of sins. Revenue resulting from such taxation has been used for diversity ef purposes. Instead of keeping the money for state highway department purposes f

A NEW TRAIL

(New Haven Journal. l.courier) It may not Do advisable to in- dulge in sentiment, when consider Ing matters political or economic. personal or national or interna- tional. But sentiment ia not only permissible, tt is both advIeable and appropriate in connection with tho beauties of Connecticut scenery and the work of the State Forest and Park association.
 The announcement of tho open Ing of q new trail from Sleeping Giant State Park through Walling- ford to Durham stimulates host of sentimental reflections. Taken as a whole this trail Is one of the most complete possible. combines many types into one delightful length. There is a strip of country roads, rural Connecticut at its best; there is n winding cut through woodland; there is a steep climb up n trap-rock pinnacle which commands Q view of Trl- mountain across the miles; there is stretch following the windings of Pine River; and the last piece covers the identical route from WaIlingford on to Durham which George Washington is reputed to have used. Aside from It's assoc citations of historical tradition. this last seems particularly appro. priate; for the trail begins at Whitney avenue near the head of the slumbering mountain-n nonster. and Whitney avenue motorists have noticed that the head and shoulders of the sleeping giant. now that winter has removed tine whiskers Of leaves, resembles in large those of popular busts of washington.
 The new trail, some sixteen miles in length, has the added attrac- ton of accessibility. Each end may be reached by bus or trolley. We heartily recommend tramp Ing trip over this route to every Connecticut enthusiast and t0 every doubting detractor. For the first 1t will be a further stimulus. for the latter revelation.
