NO DISTURBANCES
 TO MAR HOLIDAY

Waterbury enjoyed its best-be- haved Christmas in years, records at police headquarters showed to- day. Arrests of two men on charges
 of drunkenness charges was all that kept the city from having an entirely clean sheet for the holiday. No disturbances or trouble were reported at headquarters, and even the usual fistic battles were miss ing this year.
 Police were unable to advance any reason for the quietness of the holiday observance and the absence of the usually necessary holiday arrests. The city court docket to- day had only one case, and that of drunkenness.
 The most popular name for men in the Uni,ed States is John.

Is there one psychology of the Of

An ex-soldier's letter. recently re-

superior position under all condi-

If the above is an honest opinion
from one who did see action, then
it is not to be passed over as in
significant. It verifies my belief
that, by the. very nature of its be-

vided against itself unless complete

Full of Fraud, He Says

THOSE who urge that change should come only
through the orderly process of the ballot and
legislative action should be in honor bound to fight
Merriam. 1t is his candidacy and not that of Sim
clair which endangers American tradition If it is
possible for a minority of rich TO thwart the will
OF the commonwealth by corruption and misrepre-
sentatOn then it will be very difficult to ade
quately the radical who says that he believes in
revolution and direct action since the masses never
can get a fair deal at the polls
Many American campaigns have been distin-
guished by dirty tactics but 1 think of none in
which wilful fraud has been practiced brazeny.
I have before a collection of leaflets issued by
Merriams supporters. One purpOrts to be an appeal
from the Young Peoples Communist League for the
election of Upton Sinclair. 1t bears a red flag with
a hammer and a sickle. The secretary Of the or
ganzation is given Vladimir KOSlof and there is
address on Chicago street, Los Angeles.
But. according to my correspondent, there IS no
such address in Los Angeles, and nobody has been
able to locate the mythical Vladimir. That hardly
is surprising for anybody who knows anything at
all about the American Communist party is aware
OF the fact that Sinclair is regarded by the Com
munists as a reactionary misleader He continually
is being caricatured and attacked in the Daily
Worker. The leahet is palpably forgery

Merriam and Hitler

IN further proof that Upton Sinclair is a Com
munist the lealet cites, In 1923. connected with
the American Civil Liberties Union-an organiza-
ton to provide funds to provide for and finance the
defense Of Communist agitatOrs charged with crime
OF course Roger Baldwins organization is devoted
to the protection of free speech and it has defended
men of all shades of opinion in this right
It seems to me that it is not fantastic to say that
Frank NJ Merriam. if elected will be the first out
and out Fascist governor the United States has
known The tactics which he is pursuing in his
campaign follow very closely the formulate used by
Hitler in smashing the German republic.
I insist again that it would be prepoSterous to
assert that government by the people will perish
from the face of the earth if government by Doodle
cOnQuerS in California. But the issue is sufficiently
vital enlist the support Of all those who feel that
democracy is not a dead and gone theory.
The Communists. of course will fight Sinclair
tooth and nail Their position suppose, is logical
enough. Sinclair is not a Communist, he is not
Socialist. His EPIC plan is a modification of the
capitalist system 1t is designed to meet the rising
tide of unemployment and the inevitable bitterness
of the jObeSS Decidedly the scheme is experimental
If a majority of Californians wish to string along
with a proven reactonary that is their privilege
but to me it seems moniCal and mOnStrOuS that
state should be given over to FaScism under the
lying plea that Frank NJ Merriam is a devoted
to traditional American democratic liberties, wher
he is papably trampling them under foot

which they, more than anything
else. hate.
The idea behind the central
bank-still supposedly secrets
relatively simple. It has as its
chief motive the fact that the
government needs money, There
fore it calls in the $2,800,000,000
gold profit, now on deposit with
the federal reserve banks, brings
these federal reserve banks into
the new central bank.
Using this $4,000 100000 as a
base, the central bank issues new
currency. If, instead, the treas
ury issued this new currency it
could issue only up to $2,800,000,-
900. For treasury notes must have
a backing of 100 per cent.
And that is the big motive be-
hind the central bank. 1t would
not need a 100 per cent cover
age. Coverage for federal reserve
notes is only 40 per cent. So with
the central bank taking over the
federal reserve, the gold nest egg
of $2,800,000, becomes $7,000,-
100000 in paper money.
Thus government bills are paid.
1t sounds like financial legerde-
main, and to a certain extent it is.
That is one reason young Henry
Morgenthau-despite his experts
SHES away from it. So also does
the President. Both would rather
stick to the good old-fashioned
method of raising money by Dor
rowing from the bankers.
