u. S. Workers Indignant

''The people of the United States
can better understand what this ac-
tion means when it is explained and
understood that the free, independent
trade unions Of Germany, which were
organized many years ago and which
have functioned uninterruptedly both
under the imperial government and
the republic, are similar in charac-
ter, in activity, and in their function
ing processes to the American Feder-
alton of Labor and to the national and
international unions affiliated with it..
It would seem shocking to even con-
template that our free trade unions
in America should be destroyed by
some action of the government. 1t
is equally shocking to learn of the
destruction of the free trade unions
in Germany.
Intense feeling has been aroused
among the working people of the
United States against the action of
the Hitler government toward the
trade union movement of Germany.
A very close bond of fraternity and
of sympathy exists between the Of
ficers and members Of the trade union
organizations in Germany and the of
ficers and members of the American
Federation of Labor. We deeply
sympathize with the officers and mem

 each country, as described In detail
 in these dispatches yesterday.
 It Is e complete reversal of the Hoover policy which regarded the 10 per cent export trade as the effective marginal business which
 brought the real velvet to Ameri- can industry. As an indication of this reversal, President Roosevelt has just ordered withdrawn 21 foreign trade representatives Of the American government. They were not regarded as worth while. Mir Roosevelt is supported in his policy by such eminent ad- visers as Bernard M. Baruch and Assistant Secretary of State Moley. Baruch feels foreign trade is 8 by- product of prosperity rather than a cause of it. He believes foreign trade prospers after a country be. comes prosperous. Tariff obstruc- tions, embargoes. quotas and such he regards az defensive weapons. the product of fear--defensive eco- nomlc weapons comparable to q fortified frontier as Q defensive military weapon.
 Tn the industrial recovery act is one of the most powerful such de- fensive weapons ever enacted py congress.

Fireworks Are
 Taboo in City
tcontinued from Page T.,

Health ofiicer Dr B. '. Godfrey,
 before leaving for Chicago, H.,
 where he will visit the Worlds Fair, declared not only Is tetanus, or lockjaw, Q summer disease on the whole but more eases and deaths from this ailment are re- ported during July than during any other month of the. year. He added that the increase in July Is attributed to Fourth of July acci- dents. Dr Godfrey explained that tetanus Is caused by germs which gain entrance to the body through a wound in the skin and that wounds made by toy pistols, spliri- ters and nails afford excellent op- portunities for the germs to ob- tain growth. VI.
 once the germs establish tirem- selves in the body, Dr Godfrey stated, they grow quickly and produce a powerful poison which is the direct cause of lockjaw.
 This Fourth of July is expected to be a "safe and sane" one in Waterbury in view of the ordin- ance prohibiting the discharge of fireworks except by organized so- cieties, such as community clubs and the like. However, there is Q
 quantity of fireworks bootlegged into the city yearly and it Is this infraction of the law which the police and health departments plan to deal with harshly as soon as reports of violations are receiv- cd.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1933-06-24

and specify the quantities to be admitted and the fees to be iev- led, or he may forbid importation altogether.
 This provision, inserted to pro- tect American industry as # mounts to c higher wage and price scale, is directly in conflict with the policy advocated by Secre. tary Hull at London. This con. flict explains much of the confus- ion and backing and filling which has taken place.
 The plain fact is that the ad- ministration, as reported by the United Press yesterday, puts do- mestic recovery first and believes it depends on action at home which is more directly under control. leaving action which depends up- on agreements with other nations to follow. The United Press was referred to Roosevelt's statement in his book Looking. Forward" He said there that instead of romantic venturingg" in foreign markets, he hoped to discover in each country the things which can be ex- changed with mutual benefit.
 This, he said, twill make possi- ble the approach to a national eco homie policy at home which will have as it's central feature the fit- ting of production programs to the actual probabilities of consumps ton. At least the issue will no longer be confused by the impos- sible hopes of selling in foreign markets which cannot now pay Tor their products. There will no longer be the excuse for the over building of American industries. And they can begin the process or accommodation to markets on which they can count. This has been too long dslayed."

When the special election was held last Tuesday the liquor con. trol board was not sure of wheth- CT or not the law preventing the sale of 3.2 wine and beer applied to the special election. Major John Buckley of the board claimed that 1t was not an election to elect anyone to a public office.
 However, 1t Is likely that those candidates for the offices of dele- gates to the coming constitutional convention will file reports with the secretary of the state 50 as not to jeopardize their right to sit in at the convention. Whether they must file or not 1t is understood they plan to do so that nothing can stand in the way, suddenly, of holding the convention.
 It was admitted that if the drys wished to have a temporary in. junction issued prior to the hold ing of the convention they might delay matters considerably while the vets fought the staying order of the courts. On the other hand. the mere filing of reports on ex. penses by the various candidates. it Is felt. would eliminate all fears along this line.

 The recent session of the iegisla- ture reduced the interest rate on mortgages held by the state with money in the general school fund to i've per cent. Prior to that time the rate had been six per cent.
 There are several hundred per- sons throughout Connecticut who have borrowed money from the general school fund and who have given mortgages ito secure the same. waterbury's total is small compared to Hartford and New Haven and several of the smaller towns of the state, 1t Is understood.

 islature in reducing the interest charges was to encourage banks throughout Connecticut to follow suit. Tn some localities this has been done. The legislature also acted consistently in reducing the rate of interest on back taxes from
