Democratic Party Has Chance
 Of a Lifetime Asserts James
 Truslow Adams In Yale Review
Never Again Should the Sons of Thomas Jefferson Try to Be Shadow of the Republican Party in the Hopes of Attracting Republican Votes

national affairs should be in the hands of a liberal rather than conservative party, we find that the democrats are in far better po- sition in many ways to perform what should be their role in the historic process than at any other time since the Civil war. If they are to play that role, however, two things, closely connected are essen tial. One is that they should de- velop and. carry out sound policies adapted to meet the situation; and the other is that they should so broaden the base of their power in the electorate as to provide them selves at once with larger sup ply of first-class men as leaders. diminish the discord in the party produced by historic factors. and ensure a more frequent return to office."
 " In view of the opportunity fac- ing the democrats, it is absolutely essential that they evolve. their own policies; and never attempt again to be shadow of the repub- licans in the hope of attracting re- publican votes, MT Adams says. If the democratic party does not adopt genuinely liberal policies and maintain a clear-cut distinction be- tween its own and the republicans, the democrats twill fall into the role of scrub-women instead of statesmen, called in only at rare intervals to clean house." In such event. he concludes, the nation will face a sinister situation in re- alization that there is no chance of altering conditions by the use of parties and in accordance with American precedents.

BANK RECEIVERSHIP MOTIONS UP FRIDAY
Among 1hirty-four Civil Matters To
 Reach Peasley
Uncontested Divorce Also on Docket of Superior Court Short Calendar -Nangatuck Financial Institu- ton Listed in Actions to Be Heard

Thirty-four motions in civil mat ters and one uncontested divorce section are to be heard by Judge Frederick M. Peasley at the. short calendar session of the superior court Friday morning. Motions in the four bank receiverships of Waterbury and Naugatuck are in- cluded in the list to be heard.
 Tn the Merchants Trust Com pany receivership case. all those who have disputed claims against the closed house have been noti- sed to appear in court Friday morning before Judge Peasley makes final finding on the rec concentrations submitted on the entire list of claims two weeks ago by State Referee Isaac Wolfe.
 Attorney Francis T. Reeves, counsel for the receiver. the Citi- ,ens and Manufacturers National Eank. informed Judge Peasley last week that he would notify all those whose claims were disal1owed to
The Waterbury Democrat., 1933-03-15

be in court before final action IS taken by the superior court. At the same time, Judge Peasley will probably rule on the status of the agreement between the Merchants Trust and the Peoples Bank and Trust Company, which is the basis for the largest claim against the Merchants Trust Company.
 In the Sanditz and Traurig re- ceivership, the receiver seeks ir- structions relative to certain prop erty. In the Kazemekas and Com- pany receivership the receiver asks instructions as to a set off in favor of John Deliniks and instructions relative to the sale of personal property. In the Naugatuck Bank and Trust Company, Patrick F. McKeon of New Haven asks that a check in the amount of $S7 be honored by the receiver.
 The uncontested divorce action is brought by Mildred B. Snyder against Ward Snyder on grounds of desertion.

New Haven, Conn, March 15-lf the democratic party does not make the best of it's present oppor- tunity to become the liberal party of this country, reorganization of the country's constitutional and political machinery will take place. possibly by mass force instead or deliberation and planning, says James Truslow Adams in an ar- ticle 'The Democratic Party in Office," which appears in the spring number of the "Yale Re- view" published to-day. MT Adams, who is the author of "The Adams Family" and "The March of Democracy" is one of the two Americans who is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature. He believes that the peaceful solution of the difficulties in the next two decades depends on what the American people can make of the democratic party and what the party can make of itself.
 Tt is quite evilent that the pressing problems which we as a people are going to meet, particu- larly in the next ten years, are to be of the sort which will not only call TOT LH0 IHOSL uSliCdIC duJuoS-' ments but will be incapable of so- lution except in spirit of gen. erous liberalism" MT Adams says. we are entering one of those 'pe- riods in a nations history in which the. most genuinely conservative guides will be found among the liberals and not among the con- servatives. For the past genera ton or more, the democratic party has been the liberal party in the United States, but it has suffered severe handicaps and has exhibited serious defects. These have at once weakened it's own power and emphasized the faults and errors of the republicans.
 "The democrats enter upon or flee untramelled by two of the heaviest disadvantages they have had in the past--the charge that they were unpatriotic in the earlier period, and the charge, in the more recent. one, that they would inevit- ably destroy prosperity. This Is a great gain. not only for the party but for the. nation as well. So long as vast number of business men and others honestly believed that the only choice lay between republicanism with it's evils or democracy with attendant eco homie ruin, there could be no sane and clear thinking on national problems and policies.
 Thus at the very threshold of period in which it is of prime importance that the handling of
