Monaco Sues Mississippi

There is considerable interest in the pending litigation between the Principal ity of Monaco and the state of Mississippi. The former has applied to the United States Supreme Court for the right to sue the state for default of bond issues from the years 1881 to 1887. Application to the Supreme Court for the right to sue is necessary under our Constitution. To make possible the legal action several European countries donated to Monaco their holdings in the Mississippi bonds of the above issues to total $100,000.
 Should the right to sue be granted a deluge of similar applications can be ex- pected for prior to and following the Civil War number of southern states floated bond issues, almost all of which have been defaulted. According to the records $74,000,000 represents the total issued and defaulted by such states as Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, North and South Carolina. There have been suits instituted to collect interest and principle represented, but for the most part the investors have had to be con- tent merely with possession of the visible evidence of the bond, the parchment paper itself
 Great Britain has organized a corpora tion of foreign bondholders to protect all investors in foreign bonds, stocks, etc. There will be close attention paid by this organization to the forthcoming applica- tion. We have been lax ourselves in pro- tecting American investors in foreign securities, but right now efforts are being made to form just such corporation as the British one. It must not be imagined for one instant that bond defaulting is confined alone to some of our states. The amount of money that Americans have lost in similar fashion probably would be far more than the figures above.
 As to the liability of Mississippi or any of the states concerned, it is not for us to say The bonds were issued naturally in good faith, but unfortunately probably not with the soundest backing. Today the citizens believe they are perfectly justi- fled in di5owning the actions of their forefathers. In fact Mississippis consti- stision makes it unconstitutional to pay oif one series of bonds This is held to be contrary to the U. s. constitution. But, nevertheless, Mississippians take refuge behind it whenever threatened as they are now. The question will assume more of an international tinge in view of our disputes over payment of war debts by European nations
The Waterbury Democrat., 1933-12-20
Somebody's Cashing In

One of the last official acts of Dr. Shirley w. Wynne, New York city's Health Commissioner, has been to reveal repeal whiskey in it's true colors-blends, We presume we should have said. It isn't up to standard, says the retiring commits sioner. We think that he is right. Not that we should point the finger of suspi- cion at everything offered in the line of alcoholic beverages. There is much to be said about the quality of various brands offered for sale. But there is hetero- geneous collection of liquors available at relatively high prices that woulH never pass proper tests for proof, etc.
 In view of the flood of liquors that are going to come on the market for some months now Dr Wynne is proposing that. extra precautions be taken by federal and state governments with regards to proper labelling. He is of the opinion that no container should be sold that does not state the alcoholic content, whether the contents is blend or not, and the amount of whiskey, coloring matter, water, etc. We heartily agree with him. If we are to have our appetites sated with blended whiskies, etc, then by all means let us know what we are drinking, if it doesn't make much difference to the average drinker.
 In time the American public is going to demand that distillers and other manufac- turers of alcoholic beverages live up to the highest specifications. It has always been our boast that American whiskey was of the finest quality and smoothness. Perhaps we should not look for this super excellence immediately after thirteen dry years. Certainly, though, we should not expect to have anything that can pass for whiskey or any of the other beverages sold to us under the guise of good stuff. The least we are entitled to right now is to know what we are buying. We need trust no longer to phony labels. Legal manu- facture and sales mean just that We want nothing spurious.

by 1885 in order that the ground gained may not be lost when they expire. It points out, too, that there are still many loopholes in the codes which permit con- siderable child labor in dangerous and un- wholesome jobs. And there are still sev- eral fields of child labor not touched by any code.
 The states which have already ratified are Arizona, Arkansas, California, Wis consin, Montana, Colorado, Iowa, West Virginia, Michigan, North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, Washington, New Jersey, Illinois, Oklahoma, Minnesota and Maine. A num- Der of others have made plans for rati- fication early in 1884. A little more ex- pression of interest on the part of citizens who want child labor abolished, but who have supposed nothing could be done about the amendment, would stimulate the interest of state legislatures and hurry along ratification.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1933-12-20
Safe Christmas

It is not too early to consider a few Christmas safety suggestions. The first one concerns fire prevention. It is we'll not to use candles on the tree. Electric light bulbs may not seem so charming, but they are far safer than the old-fash- toned candles. Non-inflammable decora- tions on the tree are another wise precau- tion. Mica and asbestos cotton are the safe materials to use for artificial snow effects. The tree itself should not stand near an open fireplace and should be firmly anchored so that it cannot be tipped over. If it is cut tree and the room in which it stands is warm, it will probably have to go outdoors before New Years, because the dried pine needles arc highly inflammable.
 If discarding the tree goes hard with the children, it may be set out in the yard and used through January for bird feeding station. Other safety suggestions have to do with toys which might cut or prick little fingers and painted articles which shed their coloring in baby mouths. Wise parents, too, find ways of avoiding the consumption of candy canes before breakfast and manage to encourage gen. erous amount of outdoor play to break the concentration on indoor toys.
