MINOR ACCIDENT
 SETTLED AMICABLY

Yesterdays only auto accident in Waterbury, according to reports made at police headquarters, was a minor collision at North Main street and Spark street between cars driven by Joseph Ashe of 17 Gilbert street and John DiLeo of 32 Howard street.
 Both cars were considerably damaged but the drivers assumed joint responsibility and agreed to settle for the damages.

JObhOlders All Alike

Those who feel that the payments
to World War veterans constitute an
undue drain on the American treas
ury, which no government can reduce
without running great political risks
should cast their eyes for a moment
at the difficulties the French gov
eminent is having with its bureau
cracy.
The French government has some
100000 employees. They are we'll or
ganized and militant. For years they
resisted efforts to reduce either their
numbers or their pay. Successive
parliaments SHE'D away from the job
OF cutting the federal payroll.
Now the government is moving. A
tenth Of the 100000 have been ord
cred discharged, and 10 per cent OF
the pay Of those who remain is to be
slashed. Otherwise. the French bud
get cannot be balanced.
And the workers are up in arms
New riots are feared as a result OF
the move. All in all, the French
lace problem SO knotty it makes
our difficulties over Veterans Bureau
expenses seem rather mild.

Not Cheapest But Best

With an independent investigating
board looking into the question IF
our military aviation, it is sincerely
to be hoped that the nation will have
the benefit of an impartial analysis
OF our air defenseS.
Congressional probers, occupied as
they have been with questions of ex-
penditure, apparently have failed to
properly evaluate the functions of
military aviation or to appreciate its
needs. They have talked in dollars
and cents, whereas warplanes must
be considered in terms of victories
won and enemies shot down. No mat
ter what they cost. there is no other
means Of estimating their worth In
time Of trial.
Much of the talk we have heard
about military planes is that their
manufacturers have made exorbitant
profits. This, of course, should be
stopped: Our national defenses are
too important to become a feeding
ground for profiteers
But if war comes, cost will be a
relatively unimportant item No mat
ter how little planes cost, they would
be useless if they could not compete
with the craft Of an enemy. TO talk
price alone is like making it the de-
Gliding factor in the construction of
racing automobile, despite the fact
that winning the race is the iinpor-
tant thing.
We want no waste or graft in our
affairs but we do want the
utmost in efficiency. We can be con-
tent with nothing less than planes
which will fly faster, higher and far
her and maneuver more quickly than
those OF other nations, regardless of
cost. 1t is to be hoped that the board
which recently began studying the
airplane question will emphasize this
point. It has been too long over
looked.

DR.. What a Man Writ
Minneapolis Tribune)


AS We have indicated previously in
these columns. we do not hold DR..
Writ in very high regard. The gentle
man is too much given to shudder-
Ing at shadows on the wall; he needs
to keep his imagination more firmly
IN leash: he seems, among other
things. to have the soul Of a tattler.
Altogether, one finds a great many
items on the debit side OF the ledger
When one comes to assay the true
worth and character of the Gary edu-
Gator.
We are pleased to note, however,
that DR.. Writ seems to have done a
fairly good job of standing off the
brain trusters conversationally at that
now famous dinner in Virginia. Rob-
ert w. Bruere, one OF his fellow guests
at that dinner, now comes forward
with the story Of how DR.. Writ lee
tured that little group Of so-called
intellectuals for three solid hours.
The more the brain trusters yawned
and Squirmed and wiggled in their
chairs, the more tenaciously the In
dtanan stuck to his rhetorical guns
When one Of them tried to turn the
conversation to education and school
buildings. DR.. Writ kept right on talk
ing about gold. A lady brain truster
even went to sleep, and still the doc
tors tongue wagged on and on.
just what Emily Post would say to
that sort Of behavior we do not
know, although we suspect that she
would denounce it as q social faux
pas. On the face Of it, DR.. Wirt's
insistence on monopolizing the con-
versation does seem bit boorish and
tl-bred. But the point we wish to
make Is that the Indianan, having
been tossed INTO q den Of brain trust
ers. talked rings around them. Where
the brain trust has been lecturing
the country at large, DR.. Writ lee
tured the brain trusters and left
them fairly gasping for breath. For
three consecutive hours, he beat off
eyesy conversational attack, and at
the end was fresh and undismayed.
So while this may have been So
cially objectionable, 1t does invite the
suspicion that Dr.. Writ, when It
comes to holding his own against ex-
perts and great odds in the field Of
after-dinner chitchat. Is no SLOUGH.
Considering the fact that he out
talked the brain trusters for 100 min.
utes, and didn't weaken once, there

Japan's Monroe Doctrine

Japan seems to have borrowed q
new version Of Uncle Sans ancient
Monroe doctrine for application in
Eastern Asia and the result certainly
Is something for the white races to
think about.
In effect, Japan now is proposing
that the Occidental nations acknowl-
edge her suzerainty over the western
shore Of the Pacific ocean as the
Orientals already have done.
She Is proposing to shut the open
door" which long has been tenet
Of American diplomacy and obtain
recognition for situation which.
loath as we may be to admit it, al
ready exists In the Far East.
The underlying reasons for this are
commercial. More than any other
nation, Japan is beset by the internal
pressure Of an expanding population.
Either she must have new places for
her people to live, or she must pro-
vide them with employment in fac
tories manufacturing things for other
millions to use.
The immediate pretense for Japan's
new declaration of policy, however,
is indicated by press dispatches to
be her assumption OF q policeman's
powers. In clear and unmistakable
language she declares 1t her mission
to maintain the peace in East Asia"
and there is no doubling her inten-
ton to preserve that peace on ia
panese basis.
Objections to activities by Ameri-
cans in China are based on the fact
that they are supplying airplanes,
developing airlines, training aviators
and helping to build airports. The
claim also is being made that some
Of the loans to the Chinese govern
ment are political" in their nature,
designed to cement the Chinese
friendship for the United States and
diminish the power Of the policeman's
club.
In asking the rest of the world to
recognize her special responsibility
and unique position as guardian Of
the peace in East Asia" Japan serves
notice that she has adopted a hands
off and stay out" policy far more ex-
tensive and fully as important as
Monroe's declaration that foreign
powers should not invade the soil Of
the Americas. It Is a demand for
economic as well as political domina-
ton and may be the forerunner of a
united Asia under the guidance Of
the Nipponese.
Incidentally, it gives hint of con-
fession Of weakness. Japan already
rules the western shore OF the Pa
cific. She already controls, very di-
rectly, the internal policies OF what
ever government China boasts. She
already has driven her white COM
mercial competitors from many fields
and Is eliminating them from others.
Even without political advantages she
is In excellent position to more than
hold her own and to consolidate her
gains.
What, then, Is the cause Of this
new attitude? It probably lies in hid
den factors, either at home or in the
rest Of Asia, which are not now ap-
parent to the western eye.
