Washington, Dec 9.-Mystery surrounds the sudden resignation of Francis White as American minister of Czechoslovakia. For years White sat in the state de- partment as assistant secretary. Dictated American policy with the twenty sister republics of Latin America. His name more than those of Coolidge, Hoover or Roosevelt was known, sometimes
 eared, sometimes revered throughout South America.
 With the New Deal, White wanted to be ambassador to Cuba, but because of his republi- can leanings, Roosevelt refused. Disappointed and disgusted White accepted the pinistership to Czechoslovakia, now suddenly has quit.
 IN UNION, ETC.,
 If congressman ever turned the stock market investigation on themselves, they would find a large number of their colleagues to be enthusiastic margin-traders This came to light recent ly when a local broker took steps to collect $30,000 owed him by one congressman Another brokerage firm handles the &C., counts of about twenty congress- men. These accounts chow that congressman are influenced by the herd instinct. The whole group will plunge on silver, then commodities, then certain stocks. They nearly always stick to- gether.
 Japan is not planning to re- place diminutive Katsuji De- buchi as ambassador here for a long time. Nippon fnilitarists figure that with U. s.

7f While Congress has many important matters coming before it after it convenes in January, there is little being heard right now about the St Lawrence seaway pact with Canada. That treaty is purely a Senate affair. It does not require House action, so naturally House members are not particularly concerned over it. But the Senate takes it's treaty-making powers very seriously. We can rely on this pact to cause many big newspaper headline before it is successfully negotiated. When Congress adjourned this year, it looked as if the pact would go through as proposed and favored by President Roosevelt. But a delay often causes complications. It may also have enabled opponents of the plan in it's present form to strengthen their lines. A two-thirds vote is necessary in the Senate for ratification of the treaty, With the Senate foreign relations com mittee already on record as favoring it, we can't quite see how it can be defeated, but powerful opposition is said to be brewing. The costs to Canada and the United States are about equal, but the seaway goes through more Canadian territory than American. One of the odd features of the controversy over the sea- way is the fact that the bulk of the oppo- sition comes from the Presidents own party and from his own state.

Massachusetts has started worthwhile campaign in the last few weeks. The state civil works board has set aside $100,O0O which will be spent on apple pest control. The work will be carried on in '13 counties of the state where apple crops have been endangered. A total of 1,560 men will be employed in this work. Part of their duties will be to destroy wild apple and cherry trees which are said ito act as agents in the passage of the pests that do so much damage annually to orchards. Old trees are likewise to be cut down to de- stroy breeding places. This is job any state could start, for it isn't confined to one section of the nation.

Selected Poem
FOR SPOT.

In Memoriam by Kenneth w. Por.
 ter in New York Times). .a. He did not mount white spreads
 with feet unclean; g He never bullied smaller dogs; his
 mien Toward collies was not cringing; as
 for cats,
 kittens, with soft
 plush-sheathed claws, Would sleep between the bastions
 of his paws. 4 His charity did not extend to rats Those mortal symbols of immortal
 error;
 With right good will he made their
 lives a terror. Now he through streets and forests
 without bounds
 May range with cats of East and
 vikings hounds, War with the rats of Ahriman, and
 even, sy. Perhaps, touch noses with the
 Hound of Haavani

in the so-called boom days, but they'll cover more expenditures because prices are necessarily lower. We recommend to every taxpayer in Waterbury in arrears to the city the habit of putting aside a few dollars now and then to be applied to these back debts. It will prove sav- ing in the long run, because it will bring nearer the goal of lower taxation.
