Now that prohibition is going out, sug
gests Julian Street, the author, artistic eat
ing may come back. A gastronomic renas-
sance" he sails it. The strong, crude drinks
of this nominaly dry era, and their furtive
consumption, he finds, have corrupted the
American palate. Repeal will bring back

time to undo the mischief. Dining room
connosseurs will cultivate again the fine
art of combining good food with wines and
liqueurs so that the food and drink enhance
each others flavor and excellence instead of
running each other.

No Revolution


Although it has become the fashion to
speak of the recovery program as kind of
revolution, no one who looks into the mat
ter closely can fail to see that basieally it
really is a conservative proposition. The
truth of this statement can be tested by
looking at the very obstacles which are
slowing up the progress of recovery. First
among these obstacles, no doubt, is the fact
that the owner of capital still is bit skittish
about putting his money to work. His fear
of initiation would seem to have been quoted
by the fortnight manner in which the gold
question is being handled; but he still is
afraid that he will not be able to make a
profit on the employment of his money,
and so he is hanging back.
In the past, depressions ended when the
chance to make money began to reappear in
commerce and industry. We are trying
to end this one in the reverse order - by
Putting unemployment and increased wages
first and trusting that profit will follow in
the natural sequence. Owners of capital are
not yet persuaded fully that the profit actu-
ally will appear on schedule. Furthermore.
witnessing the vast sums that are being
spent, and considering the heavy taxes that
will have to be levied ultimately to meet
these expenses, they are afraid of what may
happen to their profit when it does appear.
Consequently, capital in the main is hest
tant, and the recovery program does not
make the speed we should like.
Yet all this fear of capital, and the eff
forts of government to provide reinsurance,
add up to just one thing: The fact that the
new deal is, at bottom, conservative and
not revolutionary Notice this, for example:
The entire recovery program still depends
on the profit motive the distinctive feat
ure of the capitalistic system as we have
Known it. There as no hint that the profit
motive is to be shelved
Capital may be hesitant, fearing that the
scheme may not work out well; but it isn't
running for the storm cellar, as it would if it
foresaw any intention to do away with the
rules under which profit is possible. Could
there be better indication that the adj
ministration seeks to change our existing
order as little as possible? 1t is stalking its
entire program on the belief that the conf
dence of capital investors can be restored.
If this program had revolutionary tinge,
that point would not bother it for
moment.

idea, either. Waving the question of a
competitive foreign flood, we must admit
that we could use a good deal more alumni
num- and it would be preferable to what
we're getting now on those debts.
But if not aluminium, there are other
standards of value which still hold pretty
steady in a wobbly world. Steel rails. for
example. which have held their level better
than gold. If all other standards fail, how
about wampum? That ought to serve for

Municipal Competition

We rather imagine that the wall of the
American Engineering Council, which is now
in session in Washington, D. c., on munc-
ipal power and lighting plants will be sus-
tanned by a considerable portion of the pop
ulation. But we wonder at the same time
If this portion constitutes majority. There
is increasing evidence that the number of
proponents of municipality owned and oper-
ated public utilities is advancing. And
with the federal government under the
Roosevelt administration doing all it can to
foster this spirit what more could be expected
than to see the power interests looking for
shelter
President Roosevelt. long before he en-
tered the White House. had many indlea-
tons of his liking for public ownership of
utilities. When he Immediately threw gov
eminent support to the Muscle Shoals pro-
jeet the handwriting on the wall became
more legible. Now through the Public
Works Administration and the Federal
Power Commission the right of towns and
cities to develop public utility projects has
been defended and proved Secretary of
the Interior Ickes, in his capacity as Public
Works Administrator, has announced that
cities and towns can get preference for loans
for such purposes as above.
But the American Engineering Council
finds fault in this fashion. 1t hopes that
the Public Works Administration will an
nounce ''as sound public policy that public
loans will not be made to finance unneces-
sary competitive services. In reSo-
luton it states. If such loans are made and
the municipalities build and operate CON-
retive plants the existing privately owned
and operated plants will be forced to meet
governmental competition with resulting
financial loss to the investing public by
rendering it difficult for the privately owned
utilities to secure capital necessary for i'm
provements and extensions.
That in nutshell is the universal cry of
private business against the encroachment of
the government. It's perfectly natural
complaint. But there has been SO much hue
and cry against the power octopus or some
such fancy term. of recent years that we
are afraid even its strongest lobby cannot
down the present purpose of finding out just
how much it actually costs to operate cleo
tric lighting and power plants and to deliver
the same to customers. The proposed power
plant at Muscle Shoals is to be Uncle Sans
yardstick in the test of electrical output.
Perhaps some good will come of it. But
we must not overlook the fact that govern
ment ownership can become just as much
of an octopus as private. 1t can be carried
TOO far in the zeal for public betterment.

Hers's Good News

Fairfield County is even now rejoicing
we know for fact. in the news that came
over the wires yesterday afternoon from
Hartford. 1t was simple announcement
from the state highway department saying
that bids would be asked for construction
( of the first section of the Merritt Highway
on November Is. This stretch will be
slightly more than eight miles and will ex-
tend from the New York state line into
Stamford. Thus ends much discussion and
slamoring. The die is cast. The state will
build the mueh-diseussed and also much
needed thoroughfare.
Nobody has ever attempted to deny the
fact that the Boston Post road was unable
to cope with the traffic situation in Fair
field county. This is so self-evdent that
even the motorist going over the route for
the first time recognizes the traffic hazards
now existing. A parallel route has been
almost a necessity for the last four or five
years. And some efforts to provide one
have been made. We must not believe that
our state officials have been lax in this mat
ter. 1t is project, though, that calls for
the expenditure of much time and money.
1t wasn't so long ago that heavy demands
were being made of Governor Cross that
he call special session of the Legislature to
take action on the road. We can be thankful
that our governor was able to resist this cry
Just as he has others for legislative sessions out
of season. Just how the state will finance its
end of this SIS, 900, 900 project is not yet in
dicated. Of course application has already
been made to the Public Works Administra-
ton at Washington, D. c., for loan. Only
80 per cent of the total can be secured in
this way and that must be spent on labor
and materials. But that is certainly an in
eentive to begin operations.
Judging by the present plans for the
route it will compare favorably with the
parkways for which Westehester county in
New York state is now justly famous. mas
much as the Connecticut road will be
continuation of the Hutchinson River Park
way it must needs aim high. But it will be
more than this type of highway. for we read
that there will be parkway separating the
north and southbound lines of traffic. With
crossroads and intersections entirely elimin-
ated Connecticut can feel proud of its brand
new roadway But don't forget that we will
have to pay for it. Motorists should enjoy
it to their hearts content, but are enjoined
not to overlook the fact that it is the mo-
toring public that pays for expensive roads.

prisonment for any person to solicit rides
from passing motorists on any section of
the highway. 1t doesn't say anything about

World wide confusion over the
announced policy is caused largely
by doubt as to how its various
steps will work out and as to
which ones will prove necessary Of
adoption-and when.
The governments purchase of
gold for more than tho world price
is the immediate phase and insid-
ers say it is essential to remember
that this applies only to newly
mined gold, which has run to some
S50,000,000 q year-perhaps about
the value of the strawberry crop
as compared with the total gold
reserve of 100000.
Until such time as Mr. Roosevelt
feels impelled to sell gold abroad,
the aim will be to avoid the un-
fortunate psychological effects of a
rising dollar on foreign exchange.
There's little mechanical connec-
ton between a rising dollar and
domestic commodity prices. but
people always believe the former
means that the latter will fall.
Conversely, a cheaper dollar ex-
erts a psychological effect for
higher prices.
Practically, the purchase plan
merely prevents the gold value of
the dollar from rising In terms of
newly mined American gold. The
common theory that you cut the

(New York SUM

If the return o. public drinking
should restore the popularity of
cafes with pictorial walls, the fu-
ture historians of American art
may find 1t necessary to write a
whole chapter on the repeal school
of mural painters. The reported
uncertainty of dozen New York
designers who must await Legal
sanction of barrooms before they
can proceed with their murals is
unfortunate for the artists; but the
important question for native art
is What will be the public taste In
grill. room walls? What kinds OF
pictures will patrons of hotels and
the more expensive restaurants
expect to gaze upon, from the APP
petizer to the final round? That
art which characterized the corner
saloon may never return.
Assuming for arguments sake
that cafes viii be fashionable le-
gally, a new field for ultramodern
painting will be thrown wide open
for the expressionists Of America
to exploit. Will bird 's-eye views OF
Fourteenth street or Provincetown
pictures of Brooklyn factories, OF
landscapes of New Mexican deserts
be thrown up in gigantic dimen-
sions on the walls of grill rooms
Or will there be some effort to
achieve appropriate designs, with
results pleasing alike to connoi-
seurs OF rye and Ruysdael?
To offset the harmful effects OF
a too radical modernism in these
