Future Trends

The most impressive prophecy offered as the new year dawned neither from astrolog- CTS nor business statistieians but from the sedate and scholarly social scientists ap- pointed by the president three years ago. and financed by the Rockefeller Foundation, to examine into social trends. While their report is far from what it might be in elearneSS of statement, 1t IS so alive, sane and fearless that the public would profit by further acquaintance with it. There might be a popular version published to supplement the version already submitted, which seems to be intended mainly for specialists and students. Suitably written, this work might become best seller
 Here are a few of the suggestions il of. fers; There is grave danger from our technical progress, unless measures are taken to make machinery safer for society It is the duty of those who see pers ahead to speak out. There is an industrial, social economic and political revolution now in progress, which might become violent # not understood and wisely handled. There is need of more international action to pre- vent war-military war and economic war,
 Our population is slowing down and likely to be stabilized at level not much higher than it is now. This fact changes the outlook immensely in many ways American life, formerly so varied and in- dividualistic is growing uniform. Finding whitc-collar jobs for college graduates will grow more difficult, Public welfare ae- tivitics must increase There can be- and should be, more action to prevent poverty. The farmers burdens must be cascd, and all working hours shortened
 We may soon have unemployment inSur- anee, old age pensions and compulsory health insurance, We may gain trade in Asia to compensate for lost European trade. Corporate interests will be drasticaly re. strieted. There should be comprehensive economic planning There will be more public control, but perhaps with eompen' sation for losses inflicted on private property by government. action,
 Taxes will continue increasing especial ly in the upper levels, There should be national minimum standard in health. education culture and income, There should be a radical change in education. and in medical care Our human stock should be safeguarded by preventing off spring from our worst stock. For the benefit of society as a whole, there must be better housing,

Debt Revision

The plain truth might as well be told Before long something may have to be done to case the mortgage burdens of property owners. And not of farmers merely though Congress so far seems concerned only with them -- but of city home owners, and perhaps also of the owners of apartments stores and factories, Homes naturally come first. Cancellation of mortgage debts is un- thinkabc. Downward revision of principal, in some degree, to match the dcilation of the dollar, is thinkablc, though not very prob- able. Downward revision of interest rates is another matter,
 If or when public opinion demands that private debts be revised 10 meet changed conditions the easiest and most natural form of relief will be in the form of interest re- duetion, This might be done in some cases by legislation, In others it would have to be voluntary, We shall hear great deal about the matter later on, as the government be- gins revising foreign debts and Congress proceeds with its farm relief program,

While this may not sound like anything but bad news still it's necessary, Colonel Robert O. Eaton has just called attention to the fact that in making out income tax re- ports this year single persons are only allow. cd $l,000 exemption, while married per- sons are given $2.500 exemption, Con. sress lowered the exemption figures during the past year, so nobody is excused on the grounds of ignorance. The internal revenue dcpartmen! does not notify every eligible tax payer, but leaves it to the individual to make proper returns. Failure to do so is ex- pcnsive. Persons making out blanks last year are the only ones to receive them this year. All others are advised to secure the proper forms from Hartford or the district offices

Service evidently doesn't count for much in New York's government. Thirty years ago German youth, Victor Wahl- berg, was given the job of taking care of the city's public clocks. During the past thirty years Wahlberg has seen the timepicees grow to 3l2 wall clocks, eleven time clocks, and tower clocks at Jefferson Market and Harlem court He failed to get his job back this year. because somebody underbid him. And so the German boy, grown old in the service of the city. gives up his keys and becomes one of the great army of the unemployed, We wonder what his thoughts are today as he faces a future in which he has no more clocks to wind.

Making History

The Senate has been making history of late days. When subcommittee of the judiciary committee reported favorably on repeal of the 18th Amendment there was much talk, but Monday when the committee itself handed in an almost unanimous report on the same topic, then there was recourse to files. It was the first time since prohib- ton was placed before Congress that the Senate had acted adversely towards it. Only few years ago practically the same com mittcc makeup voted overwhelmingly for the Jones ."5-and-l0" law imposing more dras- tiec penalties upon dry law violators,
 This reversal of opinion can only be blamed upon two things failure of prohi. bition to meet the situation in the United States and increasing sentiment among the voters of the nation against the 18th Amendment. In lo30 the people expressed mild dsapprova with the way liquor con trol in this nation was being managed. Last fall there was an overwhelming protest. In the face of it the Senate could do nothing put dCQulSSCc, Ue IlOuoS Siibuib b"N done the same thing when it convened in December but certain wishy-waShy mem bers desired to get in one last kick since they were departing after March 4, l933,
 As to the merits of the bill toward which the Senate judiciary committee showed such favor there is much discussion. The bill proposes an amendment to the ConStltu' (. ..,l.,sl% ptr,tal@tmau papaaIe rho Il Sth Amendment. It provides for protection to dry territory. It lcgislates the saloon out of existence forever, It further stlpulateS that ratification must be within seven years and by the legislatures of the several states In view of recent events this last provision IS commcndabc lt has been amply shown that no machinery now exists to indicate low the state or federal government would 70 about setting up conventions to approve the new amendment to repeal prohibition Furthermore they would be bound to impose too much of a financial burden on states already struggling to keep themselves out of the red
 It is safe 10 say that the measure will never meet with approval in the House Democratic leaders there were prompt to criticize it. The tendency in that body is still towards unqualified repeal, which, of .oursc, the Senate amendment does not pro- vide. It is merely an amended repeal bll' Half loaf may be better than none in this instance, but with the Roosevelt ad' minstration ready to tear the 18th Amend mcnt to pieces there seems 10 be little use in becoming cnthuScd over the Senate proposal It doubtless will pass that body, but t won't the House in it's present form. It might be rewarded considerably and then passed, but it would have to be returned to the Senate again. However. it seems 10 be common knowledge now that President.Eleet ReeSe' welt and his aides intend to slash appreprla' tons for prohibition enforcement so ruth lcssy that little work can be done We ad' voeated this course of action several years ago.

Optimistic Depositors

In January it is usual for money with drawn in December to use as Christmas gifts, and funds which have been aeeumu- lated through Christmas savings clubs, to flow back into the banks, This year. the banks in ene city report, the money being returned to old savings accounts and put into newly opened accounts represents more than the anticipated flow, They arc eonvine. cd that substantial amounts of money are being taken out of hoardng and returned to the banking institutions,
 Different banks report that accounts clos ed out last July have been re'opcncd and in a surprising number of eascS in the exact amounts withdrawn, This movement is causing a feeling of optimism in that par. tieular financial district, It seems 10 indi' cate, alSo q feeling of optimism, or at the least an absence of fear on the part of dc. poslerS, The next step should be to have the hearded money put into commercial accounts and used for paying bills and mak' ing new purchases.

Don't Stop Now

Diseeurasing news has just arrived m Hartford concerning the planito rclit the old Civil War flagship, Hartford which now
 lies on the mud flats in Charleston, s. C., harbor. Secretary of the Navy Charles Francis Adams has put dampcr on the enthusiasm of those who were making elaborate plans for rehabilitation of the ves' sci and it's return to Hartford where it would be anchored in the Connecticut river and used as an historical museum. He has just declared that the cost of this work would be such as to prohibit it.
 A recent estimate of the cost of repairing the Hartford and returning her 10 the ConneetielH river was placed at Sl50,000' Secretary Adams declares that lbe cost would be nearer $500000 This is . figure that was given out by the Nevy Department in io3l when another effort 10 seesre the old flagship was made However, residents of Hartford should not be discouraged by this tale of woe. It doesn't seem possible that high naval officials could bubble over with enthusiasm one day and the next con- vsy such tidinss of gloom.
 It may be possible that Secretary Adams is not entirely familiar with all the details No doubt he has records at hand showing the condition of the old frigate And, of course, he can glance at the figures for the cost of placing "Old Ironsides' in eemmis' sion. But we're optimistic even though thirty miles away from Hartford and the proposed anchorage of the vessel. As to Congress appropfiatins funds for feeendl' tioning the ship. it has been the intention Of interested citizens Tn the state tc endeavof 10 raise funds on q national scale as was done for "Old Ifonsidss"
 if VI had displayed as much interest in il,is pfejset as have various residents of IIaftford. we would not consider the ease closed Perhaps new secretary Of ths Navy will prove more friendly than ths present incumbent, And certain details may work thsmsslvss out and make ihe idea n,oss fsssible Keep planning for the floating n,ussun snd eventually something may come of if.

 Washington-Another ambitious program for government reor' ganization has gone blooey.
 It's failure may be traced to the usual reasons-and q few new ones. President Hoover promised the plan in December.
