Land In Sight

Just seventy days after he had sailed hls aship into unknown seas Christopher Co., -lumbus, the little Genoese navigator, -heard the joyful cry of his lookout, -sLand-How Columbus sailed those seas with nothing to guide him, but compass. Their mysteries were not revealed until he had led his tiny 1otilla far across the Atlantic from Spain's sunny shores to the unvisited and foreign islands off what is now Central America. Courage and confidence, plus an unshaken faith, were all that carried Columbus through thls test.
 The sixth year of the Great Depression begins tomorrow Or is this wrong in troduction? Is the tide turning at last? Many think so. Business currents have been running more strongly of late. There is hungry market for goods, vast army of idle men and women seeking employ ment. a vast accumulation of idle money that would put them to work if only the workers. dollars, and machines were brought together It is mainly our finance that has broken down. Government ana business are both seeking means ot doing what has to be done Men must master money to make our system work again and keep it working.
 In many ways Waterbury has enjoyed the past year. It is hard to say that con ditions are perfect here. Naturally they aren't. They won't be until the whole na- tion has regained its equilibrium. But there has been work for many and turn from those days when it seemed absolute ly necessary to put more and more men and women out of work. We are hopeful that 1884 witnessed the lowest point of the depression in this city. We are properly thankful that it was no worse. We are sorry that it left it's indelible mark on so many of our families.
 At least we have learned one thing right in our own community. We do not, after all. live for ourselves alone. We may be snug and secure in our jobs and our homes, but our tax rates will rise if there are job less to be fed, our bank accounts may van ish if a depression is allowed to run too long, a far-distant crop failure may, ln- directly but surely, deprive us of our Jobs, and ferment of injustices in Europe may take some of us overseas to fight and dle as it did in 1917. In other words we all stand or fall together in this world. Ii we forget to see to it that people less fortu- nate than ourselves get decent break ln life, we are pretty apt to pay penalty our selves, sooner or later. New Years Day, when we try to block out course of acton for the coming year, isn't bad time to re- member it.

We'll, Let's Change It

Governor Wilbur l.. Cross sounded the "rotten borough" system tocsin at the democratic caucus last week in his address to the assembled legislators. He, how ever, is but one of many men, democrats and republicans alike, who have made this same charge over long period of years. It is high time that some party took the initiative and endeavored to make change in our system of representation. The par ticular fault in this instance is that towns with scattering populations in the low hundreds have the same representation Tn the Legislature as have our large indus trial centerS.
 Governor Cross pointed out that this ineouality had its beginning some 300 years ago. (Of course it isn't quite that long, because Connecticut doesn't officially celebrate her tercentenary until 1851. In the old days there were no great differ ences in the sizes of several Connecticut communities. As result it was only fair to grant them equal representation in the General Assembly. But as time passed nothing was done to correct any lnequall- ties due to population shifts. And there were number of pronounced ones Tn the state. Waterbury is certainly typical ex- ample of this.
 For years we have pointed out the in- euuality of representation in the House, which in the popular sense is supposed to stand for just the opposite of what 1t ac- tr1ally does Our membership in the House is not truly representative of the people, but of the 169 towns, regardless of their size. In drawing up senatorial districts we fried to work on the basis of population, but today this is noticeably absent. There is room for improvement there. Even the creation of an additional senatorial dis frict. which can be legally done, would help out the situation. Most of the districts are hopeIessIy inequal in population size right now.
 We might suggest that the democrats of ,hA 1885 Legislature make it Joint to work for truly representative House and Senate

London Letter
BY HENRY T. RUSSELL limited Preas Staff COrrQsnOnflen


 London (UP).-President Roose welt "has not made any frontal at. tack on the real cause of the col lapse of two years ago." accordins to George Lansbury, white -hairet ment who leads the labor party il the house of commons.
 Lansbury told the United Pres. this in discussing the New Deal He also expressed his belief tha' labor would stage a comeback ai the next elections. He described British labor as the "greatest bul. wark against Fascism" which tho world has today ~ and said he thought that, given certain condi. tions, Fascism had no chance oi gaining power in Britain. Discuss. ing the Far East, he criticized Japan for her occupation of Man. chukuo and claimed that Japar now had a unique opportunity tc "clear the Pacific of all warships.' He said he feared the outbreak oi another war.
 Labor To Settle Crisis
 T have not sufficient ..informa. ton at my disposal to, pass judg. ment upon the situation in the United States" he commenced "but I do feel that neither Presi. dent Roosevelt, nor anyone else can settle the problem confront. ing the United States within the circle of capitalism"
 "Of course," he added, 'tht president may not be trying to dc this. But so far 1t seems to me that he has not made any fronta attack on the real cause of the collapse of two years ago; private ownership and competition re- mains and production is still fol private profit and not for use." Praised U. 5.
 'The United States" he con. tinued, lis a great country with men at the head who have the courage to view economic prob lems from the standpoint of nd- tional well-being. Because 1t is a self-contained contingent, it seems to me that the president and his assistants should be able to trans. form their civilization and rebuild it upon lines of true cooperation If this is what is in the president's mind, he has the finest country in the world in which to try out the principle"
 Discussing recent municipal Ia. bor victories at the polls, Lansbury said he thought that they would result in substantial increase ir labor's ranks in the house of com. mons.
 Fascist Weapon
 British labor, he said. discuss. ing Fascism, was the "greatesi bulwark against Fascisn which the world, possesses today" "If the government classes here see to it. that the British consti. tuition is allowed to work without interference from vested interests T he added. "then believe that the armed forces,here would obey a, la bor government as well 1t would any other government in power and Fascism stands no chance oi gaining power in England"

Hunting The Islands That Never Existed
BY BRUCE CAPTION

Thousands of years ago, when Egypt was young, men who lived by the Nile discovered that dead bodies laid in crypts did not decay. Instead the hot, dry air preserved them; and men began to think that
 the people who had lived in these bodies were only temporarily away,
 and that they would return pres ently and clothe themselves anew
 in flesh and blodo.
 But if they were away, where were they? Far off in the west, it
 was decided. in some enchanted land beyond the sunset. .fAnd
 so there grew up a legend of magic islands in the west-the Fortunate
 Isles. the Vale of Avalon. or what not-a place of wonder and mir acle, which the brave mgiht find. some day. N
 Now it is the lingering of this legend. says J. Leslie Mitchell. that explains the great explorers; and ne ndS" WIltleu u DOOhs EdItH SOH- querors." to tell about the men who sailed to find those islands. .. The explorers that interest him. in other words. are the men to whom the quest itself was all im- portant; the men who were driven by some inner restlessness, men like Jeff the Lucky, and Columbus. and Magellan. and Mungo Park. and Cabeza de Vaea. and Nansen. And he has written fine. pulse- stirring book about them. It Is not simply a series of biographies of great explorers; 1t Is an account of the way humanity's old hunger for those islands in the west, It's
 unsuitable desire to find a wonder
 not of this earth. has driven the
 race all around the globe and has
 recorded a great tale of visions and courage.
