Disarmament Hopes Survive


 Once more the disarmament conference has adjoined, but again without going to pieces completely as pessimists expected It leaves behind it four busy committees on security, guarantees of execution and supervision, air forces, and on manufac- ture and trade in arms. These committees have certain studies to make and report on when the conference reconvenes in Oc- tober.
 The security committee, for example, is to study the regional pact as contribu- tion to peace. Such pacts are to include all nations in the particular area and are to be based on the principle of equality. The work is not 50 simple as it sounds. The Russian proposal that the Disarma- ment Conference be made permanent in- stitution under the title, "Peace Confer ence" is to be presented to all governments during the summer.
 Altogether, the outstanding fact about this latest conference is not that it was one more disarmament fizzle, but that it did not entirely abandon all future efforts. The worldwide demand for some sort of cooperation in the matter of disarmament and peace is so great and so insistent that the bungling statesmen can't give up, even when they seem, as lately, to be farther than ever from success.

Nothing has caused the democratic party more concern this spring and early summer than the apparent lack of interest in the party as a whole for it's welfare as whole Commenting on certain aspects of the coming contests we said the other day it resembled nothing more than bat tie for individual interests rather than party welgare. It's all very well to talk about what this man did for the party and what the other man didn't do
 The proof of the election lies in the votes cast for the candidates whom the demo- cratic party decides are worthy of nomi- nation for the various offices. We hate to say it, but the democrats of Connecticut waste many golden opportunities. They face the chance of electing governor for the third successive time They now control the state senate (true by the narrow margin of one vote), but control it they do. While we don't predict control of both houses of the legislature, we do feel that if all factional differences were put aside for mutual good there would be pronounced democratic tinge to the coni- ing election. Why pass up the chance to increase political prestige and strength?

(Aftnuf UultcFn1un, III tno
 New York Timcs.) Tho hippopotam is strong And hugo of head and broad of
 bustlc;
 The limbs on which hc rolls along Arc big with hippopotamusclc. He does not greatly care for
 sweets, Like fec cream, apple pie, or
 custard, But cravcs, to flavor whnt he eats, A little hippOpOtnmu ustard. His voice is harsh; his gentlcst coo Is thunder0us and rcpercussnnt; 1; But never does he try to do The things he hippopotnmustn He never rides in trucks, in trams, In taxicab bs, or omnibuses, Which keeps him out of traffic
 jams ,,.,t as and other hippotamusscs.

Unencouraging is the report of the Mu- tual Aid, to our way of thinking. The total number of those now receiving aid is over the 1000 mark. This is almost ap- proximately that which marked the high water figure in the days before the CWA, PWA, etc., came into being and relieved local relief agencies. While we couldn't ex- pect Uncle Sam to foot the bill forever it was natural to think that he might not step from under until conditions had reached the point where local relief would be at a minimum. It is quite apparent that conditions, so far as employment are concerned, are not yet strengthened out. We have a long ways to go before we reach the point where we may safely say there is job for every man and woman in the United States who wants one. Right now we'd say the outlook was good, but needed the bolstering up process of public opin- ion. ..

Elimination of the railroad underpass at Rockville recalls the days when there was much agitation over the cross-over up at Homer street in Watervlle. We don't remember if 1t was Homer street in those days, it seems so long ago. However, the Watervile road (that is the so-called up- per road) crossed the tracks at what is now Homer street. It was bad crossing, even worse than the old one at West Main street, where Thomaston avenue now in- terests the thoroughfare. If one crossing needed to be eliminated 1t was the Water vile one. Traffic now demands the break ing up of underpass that was supposed to be traffic correction.

USING
OWN MONEY
FOR REPAIRS

Contrary to the impression that
all undermining will be done or bor-
roWed money during the Better
Housing Program, the city OF
Bridgeport, Conn, reports home
owners there will spend about two
dollars of their own money to ev-
cry dollar borrowed under the
modernization loan plan.
In a city-wide housing survey
just completed. owners OF 309S
houses we're interviewed. with own
ers of 3o79 definitely considering
the modernization of their struct-
ures or the building of new ones.
It was further shown in the sur
vey that 81 per cent of the owners
we're planning TO use their own re-
sources for modernization with 80
per cent needed credit to finance
the improvements.
In the list of improvements PLAN
ned, repainting and repairing led
the field by a large margin. Re-
placing or repairing roofs ceme
second, followed closely by carpen-
try work. A recent analysis of the
inquiries about modernization re-
ceived at the Washington offices of
the Federal Housing Administra-
ton, placed replacing or repairing
roofs first.
OF the 3098 structures figuring in
the survey, the owners of 10 were
planning no improvements. Of the
remaining 3079, the improvements
planned were as follows:
Repainting or repairing, 1,445.
Replacing or repairing the roof,
33l.
Carpentry work, 325.
Plaster or masonry work, repair
ing or relaying sidewalks, 292.

GOOD HOMES
BRING ABOUT
GOOD HEALTH

THE Better Housing Program
sponsored by the Federal Housing
Administration should be under
stood by every family in America.
Once understood. it will be utilized
to build better lives, enlarge living
quarters, and make places for child
rem to play at home instead of on
the Streets
Thus does Mrs. B. F.. Longworth,
of Chicago, president of the Ma
tional Congress of Parents and
Teachers, view the effects of the
National Housing Act.
1.-The Better Housing Program is
a civic movement and should be
supported as such," she says. "The
house is closely related to the
health of the family. Sleeping
porches should be a part of every
house in this country.
''All the unhealthful, unspirit-
ual living conditions are not found
among the poor. Some of the az
fluent families live in gilded slums
insofar as they provide recreation
and room enough for their child
rem to grow. They have Queen
Anne fronts and Mary Ann backs
These are the people who can build
playrooms and recreation rooms or
at least enlarge the living room so
that the family may have feeling
of freedom.
