Quite a Drastic Merger

In view of the fact that the six free state employment bureaus were saved last year from the clutches of the Legis- lature, it seems rather hard to believe now that they are going to be swallowed up in the maw of the emergency federal bureaus that are established in every state Yet that seems to be happening right in our midst And probably the majority of the superintendents in charge of these agencies will be dropped, inas- much as the federal ruling calls for men with college education and some practical training in employment work
 We recall we'll the fight that was staged in the Legislature when it became evident that republicans were going to eliminate the state employment agencies by failure to set up appropriations for their main- tenance Democrats claimed that the real reason was not economy, as stated pub- licly, but a desire to prevent the demo- crats naming supervisors for the entire six bureaus. The democrats prevailed, however, and appointed representatives of their own party to the various bureaus. Now it would appear as if this effort was wasted.
 Perhaps we shouldn't criticize this combining of state offices with the feder- al ones Both are serving the same pur- pose and we should by all means avoid all duplication of effort in these days. But in taking over the offices we don't see why their personnel should be disturbed at all. If the staffs were competent enough to manage them under state su- pervision they certainly will operate as efficiently when taken over by Uncle Sam. We're all for coordination of ef- forts in the drive to put men and women back to work, but we're not so sure that it's to everyone's liking to have mans ability measured by the extent of his schooling

Savings Grow

!. Banks almost everywhere reported {. big day on January 2, when they opened with deposit insurance in operation. As 1. was anticipated, large sums came out ot ]. hiding. "When we take in thousand dollar bills," teller in small bank re- marked, i've know it's hoarded money. ]. Thousand-dollar bills haven't been circu- Hating lately" With this emptying of old ]. socks and with savings made possible again for large numbers of people, in small way, by increased employment and .revival of business profits, steady streams have begun flowing into the banks.
 {. May they flow out again, in wise and .useful loans, to fertilze the business soil ]. and revive private enterprise! Money ]. that remains in banks, beyond the pro- !. portion required by ordinary bank policy, ]. does nobody any good. With 97 per cent .of deposits insured, there is no more dan- ger of runs on the banks. Financing can !. proceed normally again, at least with re- ,. spect to commercial loans. Soon there will have to be also loosening up of .long-term mortgage credit, unless bankers want the government to take over that
 duty altogether.

HISTORY

In the neighborhood of this swamp which we spoke of yester-
 day and lon a line with the center
 on the north branch of West Main Ie rect" corGuroy road was built, which was no more than narrow raised road. So carly in our his- tory elevated roads were in use be- cause of the very marshy natural
 roadbed. It is comparatively recent that the ground here lost it's
 swamry nature. It has not been an
 uncon. mon thing to run up against
 diiiculties even down to present days with Great and Little Brooks running under our main business
 section, and a swampy ground has
 always been a part of Waterbury s history.
 The two streams which crossed the street in those days but which have been covered close to forty
 years were then open brooks, bab- bling along as do our many
 streams that still travel merrily
 along through the hills and mead ow lands on the outskirts of Wa l teIbury. At the time about which we are writing the two streams
 were crossed by bridges. One of them provided a pond not far from the northeast corner of St Johns, and to which families had recourse for water on washing days. West of where the church stands was

Who's Who In This Game?

The question of whether or not the city
 has been guilty of various crimes Tn le3-
 ting employees go to find employment uh-
 der the CWA has resolved itself into
 game. Originally the Waterbury Repub-
 lican made the assertion that the city was
 playing politics to get it's employees trans
 ferred to the federal payroll. The Demo-
 crat retorted that undoubtedly the city
 was merely doing what Uncle Sam wanted
 done transfer of men and women on relief lists to federal employ. Others
 took the same attitude, for if we are not
 mistaken, many factories allowed en-
 ployes to 20 as soon as the CWA was instituted. !. But to return to our first thought. We might have expected the Republican to reply to our defense of the Hayes admin .istration. In fact, we rather expected 1t. !. No. the retort came from the Waterbury : American in last nights issue. So now we can be prepared to get 1t coming and ..going. We'll be hemmed in on both sides and anything we say will be purely the remarkes of party organ, while the sell ssstyled champions of the people vent their .spleen on us, Mayor Hayes, and other city officials. We're not going to lose sight ot .the fact, though, that we're arguing about -the respective merits of putting men on .CWA.
 The American made quite fuss about .the "unfortunate citizens" who were un- .able to secure CWA jobs because the city . was there first and had it's employees taken care of. We hope that this has been Hooked into thoroughly and checked ac- ..curately. We feel sure that men have not .secured CWA jobs for reasons other than that there weren't positions waiting for .them. It just so happens that the Wa .terbury American and Republican see an Opportunity to embarrass the Hayes ad- administration. Today it talks of "con- ..temptible" means of saving money for .the taxpayers. Next month it will loudly -bemoan the fact that money is being spent ..foolishly. Perhaps the editors of the Republican and American would like to change places with Mayor Hayes. Why . not offer him the exchange?

All The Facts Don't Agree

!. A letter from the Veterans League of ! the Fifth Congressional District to the {. editor of the Waterbury Democrat calls !. attention to apparent lnJustlces to veter- ans examined by the special boards ot Z review throughout the nation. We pre- sume there may be some basis for the :. complaint of the local ex-servicemen's group, but in the main we think it will be found that these reviewing boards served .the purpose for which they were created rather well. It is matter of record that .43 per cent of the claims were granted. That's a pretty fair percentage; perhaps mot enough in the eyes of the veteran.
 {. However, let us look at the case from this angle. The special boards were ere 1. ated last August by General Frank T. .view "presumptive disability" cases
 among World War veterans. The boards in the main were composed entirely of World War Veterans. Where there has been reasonable doubt in the minds of the board the claimant was given the benefit. In fact, the American Veterans Associa- tion has just issued a report in which 1t states that mo actual hardship has been .meted out to the war-disabled veterans" lin reducing their compensation under the ,Compensation Act
 A few figures are never amlss. Let's look oyer these. Great Britain with l2.O00,OOO wounded casualties has granted monetary benefits to 486,850 veterans i; France with 4,266.000 casualties. has paid benefits to 1.O0S.017; the United States
 with only 234.300 wounded casualties .pays benefits to 776,812, more than three for every wounded man. No doubt there
 are examples of injustice caused uninten-

A Book a Day by BRUCE CAPTION
Wine-In The Light Of Common Sense

It is probable that the subject of good wines and how to serve them has caused more unadorned bushwa to be flung into the air than any other topic since the ad- ministration of Willard Fillmore.
 The end of prohibition has brought us many books on this question. Most of them assume that we all have capacious cellars, formal dining rooms, and huge checking accounts, and that-hav- ing survived decade of rough and Humble prohibition drinking we henceforth shall taste nothing
 bu such vintage stuff as would delight the most exacting of con- noisSeurs.
 A welcome note of common sense gets injected into a discussion with the publication of "Wining and Dining With Rhyme and Reason," by D. T. Carlisle and Elizabeth Dunn.
 The authors have the sense to recognize that most of us never have served a formal six-course dinner, with a different wine for  every course, and never will. They also know that we can't afford the best vintage wines for daily use and that we wouldn't appreciate them if we could.
 So they say, simply. Drink what you like" Dry red wines, they point out. usually are ranked above the sweet white ones; nevertheless, we prohibition-trained drinkers probably will find that the sweet white ones taste better. and if we do-why, those are the wines for us to drink, and the experts can go fry their hats.
 They also classify and describe the different wines so that the novice can get an idea of where to begin, and how; and altogether their little book is most useful and sensible thing of its kind ST yet have seen.

Washington, Jan. 10-The be- hind-the-scenes struggle over Roosevelt's monetary policy has taken an unexpected turn.
 Both sides of the issue-infla- tionists and sound" moneyites have dropped temporarily their bitter hostility against each other and have united in an effort to force a showdown with the pres ident. They want an end to pro- tracted monetary uncertainty, insists that he decide for either stabilization or imitation.
 Inhationists say that if the president has no intention of inc fIating they want to know it.. They believe they have the votes fin congress- to force his hand, and are prepared to act.
 "SOUND" MONEY MEN
 The "sound" money men hear tily agree with the demand for a definite decision. Some of them say caustically 1t would be worth the price of the $3,O0O,00O,000 in "greenbacks" which the pres ident can issue under the Thom- as act, to end the present uncert tainty.
 In the hope of forcing show down both groups have privately suggested to Roosevelt that he summon them to a round-table discussion at the White House. This has met with general ap- proval in inner administration circles-except in one quarter.
 The commodity dollar advo- cates, led by Professor George Warren, author of the gold ma nipulation program, want no such conference.
 TEALESS ARTILLERY
 The troubles of George Dern, erudite secretary of war, are in- creasing. This time it's on &C., count of a teapot tempest raised by generals wives.
 Mrs Dern is a charming host ess, but some of the generals wives want to remind her that Utah is not Washington, and es- pecially that brigadier general is not a major general.
 At her recent army teas. Mrs Dern made the tragic error of
 
 generals to ofIiciatc behind the tea urn. completely neglccting the wives of major gcnera's for whom this high honor usually is reserved.
 SOCIAL BLUNDER
 And at her last tea she com mitted the even more tragic error of inviting the wives of officers of every branch of the army ex- cept-the artillery.
 Added to this. the wife of the Assistant Secretary of War, Mrs Woodring. does not repay the calls of the generals wives when they leave cards on her.
 So the military hens have started cackling. The burden of their cackle is that the president, once assistant secretary of the navy, is against the army, and that the Roosevelt administration is "an unspeakable failure" MONEY TALKS

According to Joseph H. Choate, Jr, federal alcohol control administrator, the nation will soon be supplied with more wholesome liquors at lower prices than those now prevailing. This should ap- peal to all concerned. It is an incentive to the consumer to purchase; it is cer- tainly a help to the legitimate dealer in keeping his stock moving Incidentally Choate is checking up on the sale of adul- terated liquors in the 21 wet states. Adulterated liquor is "cut" liquor and not blended Now that we have time on our hands in which to gaze at the situation calmly we can only wonder that the na- tion was not deluged with even more poor liquors than actually were sold. Such an occurrence was bound to happen. Now that we are getting on our feet, we can step in and end this state of affairs. Thorough regulation will do it. We hope that MT Choate won't stop with merely securing facts Let him use the facts to bring down the law on those guilty of violating our new liquor laws. If we intend liquor to pay off our debts then we must not let any opportunity pass to block up the il- legal channels through which alcoholic beverages Gin name oniy) may flow.

London Letter

United Press Stan COrrespondent)
 London-The world should have an international army, navy and air force, according to George Lans- bury, leader of the opposition in the house of commons.
 "If I had my way" he said re- gently, T would abolish every army, navy and air force in the world and substitute instead an intednational force which would be available to all nations requir- ing it. Thus a nation in trouble would summon the force in exact ly the same way as a citizen in the streets of city does when he is attacked by bandits.
 International Police
 "As a matter of fact, persontlly l believe that the good will of the people, frendliness and co-opera- ton would do still better than To- cal of international police forces. But just ase we have to have po- licemen about to take care of an occasional rffian, who tries to push us off the sidewalks, instead oi dodging us, so until the world gets world minded we need and interna- tional armed force.
