Time For Economic Peace

The eeonofiiists who prepared a program for the coming economic conference fin. isbed their two months of study the other day and published their report. The intro. duetion to the published sgenda ought to be msditated upon. It tells how rhe na. tions have got themselves in 10 state of economic warfare through "a network of restraints upon the normal conduct of busi. ness and the tbrottling of business enterprise and individual initiative" This is not the result of any inevitable natural law but of the failure of human will and intelI. genee to devise the necessary guarantees 10 political and economic order" There is an ideal program to be followed if recovery is 10 be realized.
 Tn its essence" tbe experts say, the necessary program is one of economic dis. armament. In tbe movement toward eeo- homie reconciliation sn srmistiee was signed at Lausanne, The London conference must Iraft tbe treaty of peace. Failure in this critical undertaking threatens the world wide adoption of ideals of national @lf- sufhcieney which cut unmistakably atbwarh tbe lines of economic development Such choice would shake the wohIe system of international finance 10 it's foundations; the standards of living would be lowered and the social system as we know it could hardly survive"
 Even thought that is more @yere state. ment than necessary, if contains much which thoughtful citizens have already figured out for themselves and which some leaders have long been trying 10 teach the public, It's general truth cannot be dodged. Fortunately. it is not necessary 10 make ibe wrong choice.

Serving a Good Purpose

Governor Gross has been criticized recently because he conferred last week with Harry E. Mackenzie, well known republican leader and at present state director Of the U. S. Employment Bureau for Connecticut under supervision of the Department of Labor. Both democrats and republicans have taken this 10 mean that the governor may have been seeking advice from the Fairfield county political leader or desired 10 discuss possible sppontees to public of- flee with him, As tbe governor himself explained it in an interview this week be conferred with Mr Mackenzie in an effort to aequant himself more fully with certain Fairfield county problems such at tbe Merritt Highway, Sherwood Island State park. and shore parks in general.
 That is the obvious explanation of tbe entire affair Governor Gross has doubtless conferred with various other republicans who hold no public office, not 10 mention some few democrats.
