Afraid Of Foreign Shipping

The Cleveland Chamber of Commerce surprises the city and starts big row by declaring against the St Lawrence Waterway. The local newspapers, the city administra- tion, the port commission and large num- bers of volunteer champions jump onto the Chamber for reversing its former position. They accuse it of being misled by transpor- tation interests, blind to the welfare of the city, untrue to it straditions, as former center of Great Lakes shipping, and itself wetter than the waterway.
 From the rumpus seem to emerge such facts as these: That the railroads are at their old game of thwarting water traffic for their own benefit; that Great Lakes shipping interests are afraid of competition of foreign ships coming into the Lakes through a deeper channel; that many business men, shrewd in their own lines. do not grasp the opportunities afforded by bringing the sea- coast into the fnterior as an outlet to agri- culture and industry and a stimulant to trade.. Meanwhile Clevelands neighboring ports are dredging harbors. building docks and warehouses and preparing for buster years. And nothing has been heard of any seaport on the East. West or Gulf coast clos ing its harbor to keep out foreign shipping.

Memorial Day

Memorial day this year has new mean ing not only for America but for the world as we'll. In line with the beautiful custom of the years we strew flowers on the graves of our hero dead With prayer and rev. erent tribute our nation honors the memory of those who fell on its battlefields, from Lexington to the Argonne. It is fitting that we do so.
 But across the vista of those silent tombs rises a vision of hope for the children of to-day. for the generations of tomorrow. It is the hope that 1t will never be necessary in an enlightened world for the sacrifices of those men to be repeated. We are at last on the highway that leads toward world peace. How far we shall travel on that highway depends on how much the jealousies. suspicious. and rivalries of nations can be erased at the disarmament conference ht Geneva. But at least we have made the start.
 In his dramatic message to 54 nations on the eve of the Geneva disarmament con- ference. President Roosevelt extended his s.New Dear' to the world. He pleaded for International understanding instead of resort to war. for just and lasting peace in which interests of the weak would be pro- tected as well as those of the strong. Ger tainly. if the movement succeeds history will accord him place among her im- n1ortals.
 There is nothing SO futile as war. Vie- tory is hollow triumph. at best. for it leaves in its wake only death. misery and human suffering. Neither side can really win, both sides are sure to lose. As the Duke of Wellington once expressed it: s'Nothing except battle lost can be half Co melancholy as battle won.' Nations are just beginning to realize that now.
 Thus it may be unless our hopes lead us astray. that with this Memorial day new era has dawned. In enlightened years to come this day may take on double signifi- canoe: not only will it be day for rever- ent tribute to our soldier dead, but also a day for offering thanks to God for the abolition of warfare which brought an end to such sacrifices of human life. If these fallen heroes could speak from their tombs for fhe children of to-day and the children of fo-morrow their voices would rise in unison in favor of such plan.

Mobs

Rural areas are usually thought of in this country. as strongholds of law and order. Farmers are additionally eonserva- tive. It is, therefore. an impressive evil dence of rural distress when farm groups in Iowa turn to violence to save their farms from foreclosure. .:r
 The men who tore a judge from his bench and nearly hanged him, because he re- fused to save their property by breaking the law. were not foreigners" not Com munists. not members of any of the radical groups familiar in our large cities. They were characteristically native and Nordic Americans.
 The Iowa demonstrations reveal also an unexpected difference in the spirit of eoun- try and city during this greatest of eco- homie crises. In the cities supposedly hot beds of radicalism, where distress is far greater than in the country, affecting more people and affecting them more tragically. the victims have endured their woes more patiently.

New Englands justly-famous stone fence,'. served to-day in various forms had its origin in the castle of the eighth Earl of Pembroke, according to Peterborough in the London Daily Telegraph. The "stone fence is an alcoholic eoncoetion. dear to the hearts of old New Englanders
 that required both sound stomach and sure head before 1t could be taken. Its potency was considerable. At one time Boston and nearby towns were noted for the excellence and strength of their stone fences" but alas to-day new drinkers have new potions with which to tantalize their stomachs The ''stone-fenee' was concoted from base of wine. sometimes accompanied by bit of brandy or cognac, and then frightened with boiled cider. The amount of cider depended on the constitution of the drinker. Gradually the drink degenerated to the point where merely cider and apple jack were its ingredients. However. that is neither here nor there. We are concerned with the drinks origin Peterborough
 claims that the Earl of Pembroke in Queen Annes reign was Lord High Admiral

A Bitter Study Of Tragic Disillusion

That lost and disillusioned "younger generation" we heard so much about just after the war has grown up by this time. What happens to it when 1t bounces into those major personal calamities that come, sooner or later, into al-
 most every individuals life?
 Great Circle" by Conrad Aiken, puts such a case under the micro- scope, and the result isn't pretty. Andrew Gather, who grew up Unto rootless disillusion, fears that | his wife is untrue to him. Tor tured by anxiety, hating himself for a sneak, he unexpectedly re- i turns to his apartments and hnds his fears amply justified. with his wife in the arms of his best friend. Immediately he goes adrift in an emotional hurricane. Loneliness, disapopintment, fear and self-ptty torture him. He wanders about in l a daze, and as he does he re-lives his past, 50 that all of his life lies open before him. Far back in his past he digs up the roots of his misery, examines them, tries to ra- tionalize them; and at length he brings himself to the point where he can face his wife again and.
 with her, try to pick up the old
 threads once more.
 The whole novel is a somber psychological study, and it is told
 with such force that the reader has to share Andrew Gathers troubles. It is not pleasant book; lit is depressing, often Irritating, sometimes hard to follow. But 1t is presented with a sincere and powerful intensity. Published by Scribner's, Great Circle" sells for $2.

DoGwOOD DAYS
(New York Sun)

(New York Sun)
 A spring like all it's predecessors unreasonable held back the vernal decorators of the countryside. but once the shackles of winter were broken the painting of the land- scape proceeded with all the expe- dition Dame Nature is capable of. The country place looked drear and forlorn when between warm shower and sleet storm the mis- tress visited it to appraise the requirements for vacation days. Over night the miracle of regen- eration was wrought; the quick magic of the change enhanced the beauty of the scene.
 In town and suburb and country alike the new greens, as dainty as they are restful, emerged to form the background for the bold pa- rades of color that but yesterday testified to the gardeners art, the daring of the !crocus. the impu- dence of the Judas tree. Green is the forest vehicle of colorful va- riety. It supplies unnumbered shades and tones, from that daintiness which is its almost yellow to the darkness which is its almost black, and sets off whatever other color the wayward breeze or the purposeful migrant birds may choose to set against it. It requires no interpreter to proclaim it's virtues, and were It's virtues its only reward they would be sufficient.

Is This Relief At Last?

Some people are inclined to argue the value of the relief measure that now faces the Legislature and which evidently IS the result of serious efforts on the part of our legislative leaders to heed the demands of the public. Connecticut can secure valuable federal funds, if she provides herself with an adequate relief board for administering them. But until such action is taken by the legis-
 ature no federal relief IS in sight. Some people may not like the idea of having Uncle Sam help us out at this stage of the game. They will point out that we have got along without outside help so far. why not continue. The only answer that we can make is that outside help is needed now since we are at the end of our rope.
 But that need not prevent the state set ting up system of relief, even such as IS proposed under the relief bill. It would seem. though. that there is too much en- couragement for cities and towns to issue bonds. Inasmuoh as they are not to run more than IS years considerable burden IS to be added to the already over-burdened taxpayers. If necessary the state will cer- tify the bonds where the credit of city or town is such that it cannot float bond issue We don't doubt but what many towns would like to do this but If they consider the fact that it is merely postponing the final reckoning to another day we can't see that 1t is way out of present difficulties
 Mayor George A. Quigley opposes the present relief bill on the ground that it will destroy the independence of city and town governments He doubtless inclines to the view that in time the Emergency Relet Commission may come to exercise the pow CTS that now by statute are entrusted to duly elected officials Certainly in grant, ing the commission power to step in and be- come receiver of any municipality that may default on the payment of principle or n- terest due on bonds 1t IS taking radical step. It IS true this step has been conSd- cred before in Connecticut. but as yet we have not gone all the way and adopted it.
 The New Britain mayor inclines to the opinion that a general sales tax if imposed and then distributed equitably would be suf- fieient to tide us over the next two years when we expect better conditions to prevail. There Is much to be said for the sales tax idea. We have considered advocating it on diverse occasions. But in the end we have always concluded that it would be merely one more burden to add to those we now bear. Can we stand any more? We re- alize full we'll that this state cannot hurry the repeal of prohibition which is bound to provide every city and town with new sources of income, but in the face of the budget that was wished on the state last week we can't see our way clear to approv- ing a sales tax. If our legislators won't force drastic economics in state government then we certainly won't ask for additional taxes for them to spend reeklessly,

Butcher Gives Vivid Picture of J. P. Morgan

merriment. By the end of the.day he was even shaking hands-as if in delight-with utter strangers
 who greeted him as he was ushered from the committee room. He didn't forget himself to the point of making any bad slips. But
 his only sign of perturbation on the first day of the examination
 was when, as Committee Counsel Ferdinand Pecora was pressing the issue of what he did and didn't
 know about the House of Morgan's income tax returns, he waved his
 hands fretfully as if fighting off mosquitos and exclaimed resent
 fully: "I don't want to discuss it." British Accent
 He has a slight touch of British
 accent, which may have come from eight years of living in England. It was Morgan who kept urging that his office manager be called to testify about the income tax re- turns-until he finally had his way. Then he crouched forward, right behind the witness, so as not to
 miss word of the story, which
 included an explanation of the fact
 that Morgan partners haven't been
 paying income taxes.
 During frequent committee bick-
 erings he would turn to some of
 his partners for brief huddle over
 something that must have been
 funny because you could see four
 or five partners all grinning at
 once.
 Later, however one of the partners-Thomas w. Lamont-re-
 vealed that MT Morgan had been
 shocked" by some of the income tax insinuations.

 tions committee and drew up the budget outside of the committee room. A photostat copy was sud- denly sprung on the assembly and 1t was passed by republican votes.
 The democratic majority in the senate was in a position to dead- lock the situation. With the session drawing to a close, however, and much important legislation yet to be considered, it was deemed wise nto to do this, a procedure which Governor Cross is understood to have advised. Subject to the gov- ernor's authority to veto separate items, the state is committed to an expenditure for the next two years of $68,172,595, of which $2,367,1 154 is unalloted and will be at the dis posal of the state. board of finance and control.
 No one can speak with finality as to the prospects regarding in- come. If financial conditions should continue on the mend, it may be that the estimated income will actually come to hand. There is some well-informed opinion that the budget is drawn too optimistic ally as to estimated receipts and that a deficit is inevitable.
 A serious defect in the new budg. ct is it's niggardly treatment of some educational, health and sci- entific activities and it's boom-time generosity toward the highway de- partment. Senator Bergin made 8 telling plea for a more humane and far-sighted distribution of the funds. Rather than concrete high ways, which are not urgently need- ed, the state should lend it's aid to the upbuildin of the health and character of its children and cit- izens.
 Senator Blackalrs amendment providing for reductions, total1ing $2,200,000, in number of appro- priations, particularly in the high way department. had distinct mer- it. But republican minds appeared to be closed for anything except adoption of the budget as privately drafted under that party's auspices. The budget as adopted is distinctly a republican piece of work and re- spopsibility for the consequences should be placed squarely on that party's shoulders.
