Who'll Do The Work?

A trip around the outskirts of the city or along our nearby roads shows that the tent caterpillar is with us in increasing numbers this summer. It was natural to assume that after the severe winter these insect pests, which do so much damage to growing vegetation would have appeared in small numbers. Quite the contrary, Now is the time to get rid of the masses of them congregating in nests in trees and bushes.
 A united appeal is going out through the state this week from all nature clubs and conservation units to attack the tent caterpillar with every possible means. They can be sprayed with a solution of arsenate of lead or else burned out with torches, provided the person who uses the torch is quite careful in it's appica- ton and does not ruin the tree or shrub in the process.
 We would like to call on the garden clubs of Waterbury or their equivalent, such as nature study clubs, outing groups, Boy and Girl Scouts, to make resolution to conduct one campaign around the city and its environs just to end the existence of some thousands of the rather messy caterpillars Unless the work of destroy ing them begins right away we will Wit ness the destruction of much valuable prop erty in the way of trees and shrubbery, not to mention flowers, vegetables, etc.
 It is quite few years now since the tent caterpillar made it's appearance lE New England. There have been sporadic attempts to exterminate them, but noth- ing has ever been done that succeeded. True, Boy Scouts have destroyed many nests and their contents of eggs, but year after year we'd find new nests built in the trees and the work of eating up the foli- age begun all over again.
 Some years there would be more than others. This is one of that type, When the caterpillars are 80 plentiful it is time to enlist every possible agency in their de. struction. We commend such work to all organizations interested in the great out doors, even to our city officials.

More Government Control

We aren't as optimistic as some govern ment officials over the plan to have Uncle Sam regulate the manufacture of liquor bottles. This would not mean that the federal government would take over this bottlemaking industry which naturally is top.notcher right now. All that would be required would be freqent government inspection of such plants to see that new regulation was being lived up to and to ascertain the channels into which the manufactured product was going
 The reason should be obvious. Liquor Is being sold in large quantities today, tax free. Even legitimate dealers have been guilty of selling illictly manufactured liouors. And the funny part of it is that a majority of them didn't even know they were doing it. So successfully have labels been counterfeited that the genuine cannot be told from the spurious, And careful collection of old liquor bottles from every available source in the nation has supplied these illicit manufacturers with the necessary containers
 Uncle Sam would have the bottle manu lecturers stamp license into each bottle so that it could not be used for illicit pur. poses. But what's to prevent illicit manufacturers of liquors setting up illicit bottle plants where even the license numbers, sunk in the glass, could be duplicated? The surest way of hitting at bootleg sales is through prices The only reason bootlegging still thrives in the United States is the high price of liquors. We know that good bonded wskey is scarce, but despite this fancy prices are collected where it is be- lieved the buying public will prove gulli- ble and pay them.
 Some of these prices are caused by q desire for large profits. Others are due simply to our high taxes. Strike at both these two reasons and perhaps there would be far more success in stamping out the bootlegger than all the other devices of trick labels, special licensed d-stamped bot ties, etc, that are proposed. Low prices are the sure cure, for that's why the boot legger now makes his living. And if he could sell for those prices, certainly the legitimate manufacturer can, too, pro- vided his taxes drop.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-06-07

l was the case generation ago, simply in. creases those profits to astronomical pro- portions. Everybody has known this all along But so far no government has taken any very definite step to find out just how this relationship of public fight ing to private profit may affect a nations chances for keeping the peace.
 An article in the current issue of Harper's Magazine by John Gunther touches up few of the hghlights of this situation. He points out, for instance, that when the Japanese fought the Chi nese at Shanghai couple of years ago, the Japanese soldiers took a one-in-three chance that if they were killed or wound- ed, bullets made for profit by their own countrymen would do the job"
 He points out, also, that German muni- tion makers helped finance the rise of Hit Ter - because obviously, Hitler in power meant more business for the intuition firms. As a matter of fact, munition makers in France and Czechoslovakia are strongly suspected of having contributed to the Nazi campaign funds - for the same reason.
 What all this comes down to, of course, is that there is a strong vested interest Tn the world which derives vast financial advantage from war and preparation for war. Continued peace means bad busi- ness for these people; real disarmament would almost ruin them.
 MT Gunther puts it bluntly as follows: "Two hundred-odd firms in the world earning cold cash profits on smashed brains or smothered lungs make it clear that disarmament, fundamentally an in- dustrial problem, is impossible to achieve under the present economic system"
 Maybe that language is trifle strong In any case, the Senate will do the nation vast service if it looks into the whole subject very thoroughly.

It is increasingly evident that republi. cans are calling on former Representative John Q. Tilson for advice and for encour- agement in the coming campaign. He is heard weekly now addressing various g.o,p. gatherings around the state. There seems to be, q suspicion, too, in some quart CTS that he may be the surprise candidate for the governorship. He is seasoned campagner and if advanced at the last minute at convention which seemed fair to end in discord his nomination would be calculated to patch up all differences and to give the party real militant leader and candidate. This is purely speculation, of course. Some months ago Colonel I'll. son divorced himself from politics and de- cared himself anxious to resume the prac. tice of law. He chose Washington be- cause of his many acquantances and con- nections there formed during long years of national legslating, However, in the six months of 1884 he has spent most of the time right here in Connecticut and It is now apparent that his part in the fall nomination and elections will be bit more than n passive interest. If he is the gubernatorial dark horse" he should prove a good one.

His latest appearance in the state was at a gathering in New Haven, sponsored by the 18th senatorial district He was surrounded by such stalwarts as Earnest A. Averill, deputy attorney general, Judge Raymond Baldwin of Stratford, Mrs Alice Russ of Shelton and J, Edwin Brainard of Branford, former lieutenant-governor This coterie of republicans launched . vigorous attack on the policies of both Governor Cross and President Rooseevt. The recent emergency measures were de- clared socialistic and radical, They are certainly that to the conservative element that those mentioned above represent. But their tactics have done more to submerge the masses and elevate the chosen elite of this nation than anything else. Repub- lican rule by the select had to go. It re- mains to be seen if President Roosevelt leans too far to the other side.

 Peiping, China (UP)- Chinese social etiauetto usually Is far more elaborate than that cust0marily observed by Occidentals and in their use of name cards the Chin. csc of tho upper classes have do. vclopcd a system representing no moan improvement on Emily Post, Western etiquette calls for the austcro simplicity of single, unadorned name on Dit . past obpard.

 An introduction between two westerners usually Is signalized by a handshakc. Chinese will bow and on the upswing pull out their cards cases and meet with hands in midair, two little, so sometimes large bits of white cardboard be- ing exchanged.
 A typical card will most prom. inently feature the family and given names. Tn small ideographs alongside will be the holders one or more courtesy names, which it always Is necessary to use if one wishes to be exceedingly polite. The card also will tell of the Provinces and district from which the new acquaintance halls. This is regarded by the Chinese as vit- ally important information. Ac- quaintances happening to come from the same Province or district are entitled to special considera- ton and unusual courtesy. This information also furnishes the clue as to what dialect should be used. Phone Numbers.

The various occupations, titles. positions and professions exercised or enjoyed by the bearer of the card also must be printed upon 1t.

Templeton, a member of the milk control board, gave them. He said that Connecticut milk "costs more than milk in other states, particularly New York and Massachusetts, because of high taxes, soil conditions, and the fact that this is an industrial state. ." He pointed out that this state ranks third from the top in taxes The taxes we can remedy; the soil would take many years to change. That we are industrial rather than agricultural we wouldn't change.
