Half-Park Cities.

A planning expert in Dayton, Ohio. which has perhaps the most progressive housing development in America, says he wishes every second block in all our cities could be cleared for parks and playgrounds. It may sound like an absurd suggestion. But it may not be so absurd in future years. Populations are not growing rapidly any more. Numerical growth may stop entirely in many of our cities. There will be no less area demanded, but multiplication of building lots will stop and people will not live so close together. We shall come to value room. space, freedom, more than we do now And we shall have new and higher standards of health. air, sunlight, play and cleanliness.
 Two strong tendencies appear in almost every American city. Business punches to- gether in big buildings, making central core down town, and domestic life moves out to the edges in widening circle. In be- tween the hub and rim, buildings deterioate and are not replaced, and open spaces appear.
 There is going to be great deal of such space available for parks hereafter. Wise is the city that starts carly in the game, and makes ugly. dying spots places of life and beauty. turning civic liabilities into assets.

The Die Is Cast

With both solemnIty and speed Connec- tieut yesterday went on record as ratifying the proposed amendment to the Constitu- ton that repeals the 9th Amendment. We are thus the l2th state recorded as taking this action. Others will follow our example shortly because there are now Is states on record as voting wet. No other states vote on the subject until July Is. However. there isn't much concern in anti i-prohibition circles just now over the eventual outcome. Even ardent drys have read the handwriting on the wall.
 It is a long time since Connecticut rati- fled constitutional amendment as rapidly as she did this one. And it is even longer since the state has held constitutional con- vention. It's close to 30 years. However. the last one and the one just concluded in Hartford couldn't be compared. Tuesday the 50 delegates were of one mind. They were elected on the wet ticket and voted accordingly following the preliminary steps of assembling and organizing for actua! business.
 There were no contests because the entire delegation represented the same thought There was no hitch in naming officials or in seating the delegates. In short Conneeti- cuts ratification of the amendment could be accepted as an overwhelming vote as convincing as has been all evidence of our thoughts on the subject of prohibition at any past balloting in which the issue might be injected. We can only hope that those southern states to which the drys are now turning hopefully will not regard it as their bounden duty to go counter to the opinions of the states that have already voted. The President has appealed to them. Now we who have voted first and disagreed with the constitution ask them to do the same thing as we did.

Restored War Trophies

Soldiers, in modern times as of old. col lcct souvenirs. During the Boer War. it is said, British Tommes collected family Bibles. Several thousand of them were car ried home to Britain. with no consideration of how their rightfu owners might feel about 1t.
 Recently the British Quakers have been conducting campaign for the return of those Bibles. They have located many of them and have induced the possessors to sur render them. Now. after more than quar- ter of century, the original owners or their surviving families are getting back their old Bibles. Doubtless many of the books con- tain family records of value to those con- cerned The Bibles have acquired historical interest. too. by the manner of their going from and returning to South Africa.
 The Society of Friends have been going on quietly for some years now, restoring. or inducing others to restore. precious keep sakes which were once regarded as the legiti- mate spells of war. The response to their efforts has been generous. indicating that even souvenr-hunter have sympathies and sensbilities which may be touched.

The Why Of It.

The break-up at London seems to have that no very genuine cooperation IS possl- ble between a nation which is following a definite policy and nations which are drift ing. Back of President Roosevelt's flat re- fusal to consider currency stabilization at this time there is one fact that cannot be over- looked. The United States has thought out and adopted very clear-cut and far-reachlng domestic program It intends to raise prices, control production, boost wages. and de- crease unemployment and it proposes to do these things by means of certain concrete actions.
 The other nations at the conference. with the exception of Russia, which is in class by itself. have no such program. They seem to De committed to policy of watchful waiting and at times they have striking resemblance to Mir Mieawber being hopeful that some thing will turn up. That being the case how car, we logically expect that this nation can easily find common program of concerted action with the others? Furthermore, for what reason does the chief responsibility for finding such program rest upon the rulers of this nation?
 The United States has at least made de- termined and heroic effort to put its own house in order. It has embarked on tre- mendous experiment and. while we have no guarantee today that the experiment will not fail. at least the country has had the courage and the vitality to make it. Right or wrong. win or lose. the nation has got away from 5 the policy of drift. There is no reason on earth why this country should run the risk of running that experiment before it gets well under way. simply in order to arrive at cur rency stabilization agreements with nations which have yet to enuneiate clear policy of { their own.
 Correspondents at London are reporting that European statesmen are saying many harsl, things about us these days because we have wrecked the conference. That. of course. is too bad. But considering the fact that this has been one of the chief diversions of European statesmen ever since the war Americans probably will be able to bear up under it. And it is trifle difficult to see why the ultimate responsibility for lack of Accomplishment at London rests with us.

THE PRESIDENT AND REPEAL
(Hartford Courant)

The president has chosen stra- tegic movement to plunge active ly into the campaign for the re- peal of the 18th amendment. Next week elections are to be held in three states. Alabama, Arkansas and Tennessee. all in the south, where the prohibitionists are most hopeful of holding up the move ment for repeal. If they can hold the south, they believe that they might carry a sufficient number of states outside of 1t to keep the 18th amendment In the constitution.
 The message of the president to the democratic national committee men Is plainly intended to cut the prohibitionists off from their best source of help, the voters of the democratic party in the south. AL though the president does not openly say that a vote for repeal is to be regarded test of parti- san regularity, he strongly implies that the duty of the democrats in the south, and elsewhere as well, Is to vote in such manner as to fulfill the pledge of the party in favor of repeal. By quoting from the platform, the president im- presses upon the democrats of the south the obligatoin upon them, and he leaves no doubt that he looks to the members of his party below the Mason and Dixon line to support the position that he has taken.
 During the past few weeks, the administration, under the direction of Postmaster General Mir Farley. has been active in lining the orr ganization of the democratic party in the south behind the campaign for repeal. In the weeks ahead, their activities are likely to be re- doubled, with speeches by MT Har- rison of Mississippi, Mir Robinson of Arkansas and other leaders of the party in the south. The effect of such activities cannot fail to be noteworthy, and the president is to be congratulated upon his willing ness to command all the resources available to bring success to his cause. e g

A Book a Day by BRUCE CATION
How Two Cultures Conflict in China

The bewildering impact of two civilizations in China, where oppo- site standards in morals, in econo- mics and in politics are brought tragically together thousand times every day, forms the subject matter for Pearl Bucks new book, "The First Wife,"
 This book is collection of short stories; stories which are interest," ing on their own account, and which also give one a new under standing of the strange and chaotic situation into which the world s most ancient civilization has fallen.
 The first story. which gives it's title to the book, illustrates the matter as we'll as any.
 In 1t the son, of a Chinese tea merchant comes home after spend- ing seven years studying the white mans culture. His parents his wife and children await him eag- erly but his absence has changed him so completely that he can no longer fit into his old place in so- ciety. The readjustment is difficult for all. of them; for the wife it is impossible. He has become western ized. There is no longer any ground on which he and she can meet. Her tragedy eptomizes the cruel maladjustment which changing times have forced upon Chinese so- ciety.
 The other stories are equally en- Tightening. There are studies of the revolutionists a savage portrait of the treaty-port whites attitude to- ward the Chinese story of the collapse of kindly Catholic priests life work; all thoughtful sympathetic and revealing.

What with all sorts of delays in under taking the Muscle Shoals project and the reclamation of the Tennessee river valley from the sloughs of despond it certainly is discouraging to read that actual work on the Cove Greek dam may be delayed for long time while Uncle Sam's engineers de-
 eide what they can do with the caves just discovered in the vicinity. That section of the valley which will be flooded by the pro- posed electric power dam is honeycombed with subterranean passages, according to latest reports. There was. it is stated, some knowledge of this beforehand, but for every one that was thought to exist at least ten have now been found. This naturally will complicate the work and may seriously change the present plans Some of these underground passages are bottomless or end
 less, say the engineers and geologists. If that's the case. it certainly won't do any good to flood the region as the water will simply flow out at those openings. It would

There is much eogitation throughout the state just now as to the possible successor of Labor Commissioner Joseph Tone. He is slated shortly to move to Washington where he will become an assistant secretary of labor under the employ of the nations first woman Cabinet member, Frances Perkins, Secretary of Labor. There seems to be three fairly active eandidaes for his job and all are more or less familiar with its routine and at the same time are well known in labor circles. Meriden advances the claim of State Senator Julius Stremlau, who has been both a spokesman for labor of recent years and its most ardent worker in the Legislature. Then Governor Cross is said to favor the appointment of MT Tones deputy. Walter Couper, former Yale professor And Senator Fitzgerald of Norwich is widely supported. It is hard decision for anybody to make when three such stalwarts are mentioned.

Elaborate Plans

Anybody who isn't aware of the fact that Hartsord is making great and far-reaehing plans for it's existence as the largest city in this state must be blind to what IS taking place. Not that we think that the city shouldn't plan for future bright with promise. We certainly do. But events of the last few years should convince the aver aqe man that Hartford is destined for bigger things than she enjoys today. Just take her creation of the metropolitan water district as ah example. Any city that can get control of one entire valley for its water supply of the future is looking far ahead.
 Tn possibly five to ten years Hartford will boast water supply second to none in New England This is made possible by acquisi- Gon of necessary land and water rights up in the Barkhamstead hills. But when city is rapidly approaching the 100000 popula- ton mark and the end isn't in sight 1t cer- fainly needs to look to the future. lnci- dsntaly the expansion of the city's and sur rounding towns. which some day may be part of Hartford, water supplies IS already started. And other events came out at the past legislative session that lead us to be- iieve that Hartford is one community desir ous of bettering itself.
 Remember the discussion over the pro- posed Connecticut river bridges. Strictly speaking those bridges would be of the most benefit to Hartford and environs but, never ti1eless an effort was made to have the state appropriate funds for their construction, inasmueh as now the Hartford East Hartford bridge is under state highway maintenance. However. there has been considerable oppo- sition from the hinterlands to such plan and 1t will be some years before Hartford can persuade other sections of the state to contribute to its bridge funds. Now once moro the contemplated circular highway abound Hartford that would enable motor ist to completely circle the town without entering 1t IS being mentioned.
 This isn't the first time that by-passes around the city have been suggested. In fact, some are now in use, though not quite what is intended for the future Now mo- torists may utilize existing streets to escape traffic in the more congested areas. But the plans for the circular highway are now in- cinding three new Connecticut river bridges -- one at Rocky Hill, one opposite Keney Park and the proposed Hartford-East Hart ford structure. Aerial photographs have even been taken with view to providing the necessary background for outlining future plans and drawing up temporary blueprnts This would be state highway department job, of course and not city project. But it all coincides with the underlying idea of making Hartford the supercity of the state. As yet we see no need to hope this plan won't come true some day
