THE dinner on. board was pretty
good that day. Since they had
tied up in Leningrad,e the food had
improved. Shippers orders? There
we're stories told about the crew
of a ship in Soviet port in the
Black Sea. The food was so rank
that the whole crew walked off in
a body, and refused to return aboard
until better food was obtained. The
Captain had given the excuse that
he couldn't buzz any food in the
Soviet Union, bat after the men
walked off he suddenly found plenty
of it to buyl -.
After dinner the Club delegate

Carless Days In Greece

It will be interesting to see how the fuel economy measuf recently inaugursted in Greece works odt. The foreign travel di- vision of the American Automobile Assoeia- ton reports the fact that cars with even numbered license plates may operate Mon days Wednesdays and Fridays. Cars with odd numbered license plates may operate Tuesdaya Thursday and Saturdays On Sundays all restrictions are off and everyone can go joy-riding.
 This doubtless will save gas. While some cars may be made to do double duty in the half week they are permitted to operate. it will hardly be possible for all car owners to help each other out on their respective driving days Such system would be disastrous in America. at least for the people who use their cars for business purposes more than for pleasure driving. It would probably never even be tried here. unless in war time. for no one otherwise could persuade the American public there was that much need of fuel economy.

Time Heals

Contemporary Engllshmen and Americans think no one can tell them much about de- pressionA No generation before them ever wrestled with such seemingly hopeless prob lems Maybe 70. But maybe not SO. The first half Of the nineteenth century presented a desperate appearance to buman eyes.
 An Engli,bman has gleaned the following prophecies from bis own nations leaders of that day: William Pitt: There is scarcely anything around us but ruin and despair" Wilberorce: T dare not marry. the future is SO dark and unsettled" Lord Grey: Everything is tending to eon- vulson." DiWaeli; Tn industry. com- merce and agriculture there IS no hope The Duke of Wellington. on the eve of his death. thanked God he would be spared from seeing the eonsummaton of ruin that is gathering around us." Lord Shaftesbufy: Nothing can save us from shipwreek"
 Similar despairing views of the situation have been collected from many speeches and writings of other times on our side of the Atlantic. There is hope for the future in those gloomy echoes of the past What time has done before in curing human ills. time may do again. If human intelligence and good will could be made to cooperate with time tbe cure might come sooner and last longer

Tax Study Needed

 owners who bear the burden of taxes in this z state as we'll as in other states certainly must

War Debt Parade

And then, bring. ing up in the naf France and the other defaulters.
 It is an unpleasant job that Uncle Sam has cut out for him. but apparently mecca" sary one. and the nations may all feel better when it : over. Uncle, on the face of things, stands 10 lose quite few billion dollars on top of what he has lost already in his war and post. war experience This loss how eyer will be mainly or entirely matter Of bookkeeping. It does not look as fl the war debtors could be made 10 pay any more on the present plan. no matter what atti' tude our government might take.
 With skillful negotiation. we may get more out of those bad accounts by eoneess sions than by threats or fepflsas, We may be able 10 get some money, possibly billion or more. by way of settlement in full through bond issues. as the Allies themselves arranged 10 do with Germany at Lausanne last year.

The Syracuse Plan

The plan being put in motion in Syracuse. N. r., is good one. Every employer who can possibly do it is encouraged to start his business going with a guarantee to his em- ployes of steady jobs for given number of months. If he can see only one month ahead. he guarantees that. If more he IS glad to increase the term. The employe gets at once feeling of security. This security. increasing in length as the business of which he is a part gets under way. gives him con- fidenee and purchasing power.
 It is not unemployment insurance that the worker. wants except as last resort What he wants is' job assurance. Job se- eurity is the bright side of the dollar. Un- employment nsurance is the dull side. nee- enary 10 supplement the other but negative. It is surprising what little security will do for the general hope.

There seems to be a good chance for the bill changing the name of the Connecticut Agricultural College to pass the Legislature. Proposed two years ago Governor Gross named commission to consider new names for the institution. Their report favored the name - Connecticut State College. We imagine that this will be adopted by the General Assembly. although there is some opposition from officials of the Connecticut College for Women at New London who believe that the two names are 90 similar as to confuse people. We don't think %. And we can't think of any more appropriate title for the state college at Stors It no longer is exclusively land grant school. specializing in agricultural courses. It is modern eoi- lege with practically all the desired courses that any boy or girl going to state college would want.

A Book asDay by BRUCE CATION
Amusing, In
 A Mild Way

George A. Birmingham has be- come recognized, in the last lew years. as talented writer of pleas ant and gentle arce-comedies. HIS newest book, "TIlizabcth and the Archdeacon" ts an ingratiating nov" ei which will never cause you to laugh out loud but which ought to furnish you with c considerapIe number of quiet chucklcs.
 It has to do chiefly with church of England missionary, who Is on his way back to Britain after 20 years of trying service in q cafii" bal aI-infested jungle somewhere m the far east, He has been made afi archdencon, in recognition Of his services, and when hc reaches England hc is to be given Q lucrn- tive country church; but on his way home he falls into adventures.
 Stopping at q Mediterranean re sort for n few weks of rest, the mild little arohdeacon meets 4 London woman who, when she js at home, runs tony dress shop. She has bought, dirt cheap. n number of exotic Phrisian paJa- mas which she means to take home and sell; and when she and the archdeacon chance to return on the same boat she quietly slips them into his suitcnse--which, she is confident. tine customs men won't open---so that she won't have to pay import duties on them.
 Well, the customs men do open his suitcase, the dress shop lady disappears tho archdeacon gets into q jam for trying to smugsle gay pajamas into England, and everybody has lost of wholesome fun. It's ali very mild. but 1t really. makes rather pleasant reading.

Our Daily Washington Letter
This Imitation Idea
BY RODNEY BUTCHER

that the general public can no longer walk right in from the corridor on each congressman. The congressman will now be in m inner office and his secretary can protect him.
 Everything comes to him who waits, but 1t comes faster to him who sticks his chin out for 1t. Even Senator Huey Long Of Louisiana has been more or less put in his piace--whereeve that may be. Not, of course, that he will stay there.
 Huey ciimaxed his famous fiii- buster by announcing the death of the Glass banking bill on which he had forced q compro- mise on q single provision, in- timated that he had killed Sem ator, Carter Glass of Virginia as q possible secretary of the trcas- ury and began q campaign to get Congressman Steaga1l of Ala bama appointed to tho treasury job.
 The next thing ho knew. Presi- dent-elect Roosevelt --- the. only democratic leader Huey recog- nizes --- had decided that Glass should be his secretary Of tho treasury and has passed the word along to Washington that the Glass bill should pass.
 Then another jolt. Since Huey helped Mrs Caraway win tho pri- marics in Arkansas last year her vote had been commonly consid- cred in his pocket. But when the vote came on tho proposal to eliminate the nir mail hpproprla- ton, which Huey opposed, Mrs Caraway well in line behind Demo- cratic Leader Joe Robinson, sponsor of the amendment and Hueys seif-chosen worst enemy.
