NRA Is Dead - Long Live The
Constitution!

That the decision of the United States
Supreme Court practically sounds the
death knell to NRA is all but generally
admitted today after yesterdays moment
GUS ruling by the nations highest tribunal
on the case of the A. l.. A. Schechter
, Poultry Corporation. That the final
breakup of an institution that has been
anything but popular with the vast major
/. ity will be heralded with wide acclaim IS
. self-evident in view of the gradual spirit
of discomfort that has been seeplng
through the country the past few months.
1t is perhaps too early to arrive at any
thing in the nature of a definite conclu-
sion as regards the Supreme Courts UNI
equivocal scrapping of the codes by yes
] terday's decision in the issue at stake. Inc
. Waterbury Democrat as long ago as when
General Hugh Johnson resigned as active
head of MIRA prophesied that MIRA was
doomed and could not keep the situation
! in hand. We had hoped that something
tangible could be accomplished through
. the workings of NRA, but held very doubt
full hopes as to it's ultimate accomplish
ment.
Now that the United States Supreme
. Court has ruled that Congress has not the
right to delegate any such powers to the
. President or itself, for that matter, as
were embodied in NRA under the Con-
stitution, we think the minds of the great
American public will be greatly eased.
! True, NRA was tried at time when
nation was more or less panicky and in all
probability at the outset had great deal
. to do with helping to restore the nation
. to an even keel. But apparently it could
. not continue and should have been aban-
/. doned when its first allotted time expired
rather than continued.
!. What congress and President Roosevelt,
who at the very moment of its death thrust
!. were considering ways and means to pro-
long the life of NRA, will do now is alto
gether conjectural In any event they
/. have been given an opportunity to rest on
their oars and time for plenty of recon-
!. sideration. Momentarily big and little
!. business will be uncharted with the let
down, but eventually there seems no rea-
!. son to us why the Constitution, which in
the past has always been its guiding star,
.cannot be it in the future. NRA is dead,
.but the Constitution still lives. Long live
!: the Constitution.

Very Easy To Forget

Three things occurred last week that
tempted the writer very strongly to call
them to the attention of Senator j. Ken
meth Bradley of Westport, who spoke In
rthis city last week and in glowing fashion
told how the state was being saved from
rack and ruin by the republican party, to
swhom even Governor Cross was turning
lin his hour of need for not merely guidance
but for legislative action. However, we
feel sure that the senator was as well
aware of them as were we.
Chief Justice William M. Maltbie ar
raigned the jails of Connecticut in no UNI
certain terms in an address delivered IN
Bridgeport In the course of his remarks
he said, Generally speaking the jail build.
.ings are old, inadequate, and badly adapted
to decent, not to say, proper, treatment OF
their prisoners" In that one sentence is
surely enough to convince the average
legislator that the Jail situation in Connec-
.ticut is not quite up to snuff, republican
deficiency to the contrary.
DR. Clarence M. Hincks of Toronto and
New York addressing the 9th annual
meeting of the Connecticut Society for
Mental Hygiene in Bridgeport, also last
week, said conditions in our institutions
for the insane and feeble-minded do not
.s.even meet the minimum requirements.
rInaE is quite n dow 10 SIdtS Which, LA
wears gone by has boosted of its fine state
institutions, but which facts have certainly
proved must be in the status indicated by
the tenor Of DR.. Hincks' remarks.
g To add a final touch the legislative COM
Imittee on humane institutions has advo-
Gated in former report increased APP
preparations at as early date as possi-
bled for such hospitals as that at Middle
town, recently under fire at special leg
4 islative hearing. Lack of room, money,
and too small staff were blamed at this
same hearing by the superintendent of the
Middletown hospital, DIR. r. L. Leak, and
trustees. And that is an old complaint,
one voiced first when republican control
81 Connecticut was quite complete and
there were no democrats or socialists TO
scomplicate the situation.
5 Being imbued with the most charitable
III Intentions we cannot help but point out,
.houeh. that such conditions as the three
'rsfances above single out are due TO

to traditional policies that raay have
meant votes at the polls, but certainly did
not tend to make for bright future. X
we attacked our social sproblems as they
should be to-day it would involve the ex-
penditure of an immense sum Of money,
twice what even could be contemplated by
a brief summary of conditions. This could
have been avoided. Perhaps the same
sound (?) reasoning that republicans dis.
played in turning aside all efforts to avoid
this situation will now reverse itself.

Wars Tragic BIunders

The ghosts of several thousand soldiers
should be interested - if they are in posi-
ton to know about such things-in the
news that Turkey is going to take Leaf
from Hitlers book and fortify the OAR
danelles straits whether the former allies
like it or not. That, at any rate, is the
latest news to jar European diplomacy.
1t has drawn denials but even the de-
malls admit that network of roads has
been constructed which would enable Tur-
KEY to line the straits with motorized
artillery companies on a few hours no
tice.
And all this ought to be of interest
to the ghosts; for it calls back to mind
one of the most tragic and bloody chap
tiers in all the tragic and bloody story OF
the World war-the effort by France
and England to force their way through
the Dardenelles in 1915. In no other
episode of the war did the terrible price
that can be exacted for the failure of q
few individual commanders stand out in
such clear relief
To begin, some British naval authority
tipped off the Turks to the impending at
tack by ordering a premature lombard
ment of the shore defenses, which gave
the Turks just enough warning to get
ready for the real attack. Then COM
bined British and French fleet tried
to force its way through. 1t got about
half way and then withdrew after mines
sank several battleships. After the war
it was learned that those were the Turks
last mines, that ammunition for their
batteries were exhausted, and that they
were resigned, on the day the fleet with
drew, to complete defeat.
Next came the landing of troops. A
long and costly trench warfare deadlock
ensued. In an effort to end it, a British
division was landed at Suvla Bay, half
way up the slim Dardanelles peninsula.
For "a hours this division remained there,
practically unopposed. It could have
crossed the peninsula and won compete vic
tory; but it's commander delayed attack
ing for "a hours, giving the Turks just
time enough to bring up men and guns and
checkmate the thrust.
On such slender chances did the OAR
danelles campaign turn. World history
would be vastly different if it had succeed
ed Turkey would have been knocked out
of the war, allied supplies would have
reached Russia in ample volume, the Rus
sian revolution could have been averted,
the war would have ended before America
, was drawn in-and, all in all, the record Of
the last 20 years would make altogether
different reading. All this, somehow, is
brought to mind by this current news
about new Notifications for the Darda-
nelles. To the ghosts of the thousands OF
Australians, Englishmen, and Frenchmen
who died there is a lost cause, the news
ought to have a grim and melancholy
interest.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-05-28

We have been challenged on several oc-
casions to prove that an additional one
cent gasoline tax will account for the diff
ference in motor vehicle registrations that
would be brought about by reduced license
fees. It's easy enough to figure out. Il
the motorist would just estimate his gaso-
line consumption for year he'll arrive at
a speedy conclusion. The man who drives
his car every day in the year is the one to
feel the brunt of the gasoline tax, while
only the infrequent driver realizes any
saving at all in motor taxes. It wouldn't
be so bad if the federal government wasn't
interested in this game, too. There is a
chance that it will lapse June 80, when the
p..esent revenue measure expires, but we
have no hopes in this direction. It's q
convenient form of taxation and modern
day legislators seem to see only that kind.

There is an intriguing human
interest story behind Senator
James p. Pope's sudden flop to
the presidents side on the bonus
issue.
The reason given by the big,
bald Idaho democrat for revers-

was that he would not stand for
being intimidated by the veter-
ans lobby.
But there was m ore to his
action than that.
Pope Is secretly envious Of

The picture of cities taking "pauper's
oaths" is frequently seen in Washington
these days, as plans for distributing $4,-
O,OOO,O 900 proceed. The plans under
which the distribution is to be made call
for partial repayment where communities
can do so. But if conditions are so bad
that there is no chance of repayment,
Uncle Sam will be generous and make 100
per cent outright donations. And ma
turally conditions, such as would be de-

CHAIN LETTERS COMPETE
WITH BRIDGE IN CAUSING
MISUNDERSTANDING
Waterbury, Conn.
M. May 27, 1885.

Editor, The Democrat:
The chain letter craze hasi
reached the quarreling stage, or If
not yet that serious, 1t Is develop
ing Misunderstanding among rel
atives and friends. Perhaps, the
craze will come to an end as quick
~ as did the miniature golf craze
which sprung up SO suddenly q
short while back. If not, then the
chain letter game will outclass the
game of bridge for losing friends.
Some Misunderstanding have al
ready been observed by this writer.
For those who may not know
how q chain letter starts will en-
deavor to explain the system as 1t
has been explained TO me. Suppos-
ing j. starts a dollar chain. ].
lists the names of persons who
may be his friends. These friends
may or may not know that J.
started the chain letter. J. lists
the names OF A, B, c, D, q, f, c..
H, / and his own name J. to make
| up the ten names.
= then proceeds to sell X and L.
the idea Of sending dollar each
! to Al whose name is on the top of
the list. If X and L buy they cross
or the name or A and put their
own name on the bottom or In
10th place. X then proceeds to
sell NJ and N the idea of sending
q dollar each to B, crossing OF BIS
name and putting their own on the
bottom. l. proceeds likewise to sell
the idea to o and p to send B q
dollar each crossing out BIS name
and putting their own on the bot
| tom Of the list. }
If the procedure is kept up
without break A receives doll
lars: B receives dollars; c 8 dol
lars; ID 16 dollars; e 80 dollars;
r receives 81 dollars; G 1873 doi-
lars; H 256 dollars; 512 dollars
and J 1924 dollars. In that case
| the FIRST ten persons including J.,
4 who started the chain, viii have
received 2046 dollars without hav-
ing invested dollar. In other
words, the first two persons, X and
L IN the above instance who ac-
tually put In dollars, will have to
wait until 2 thousand and 46 per-
sons have been contacted before
they can expect TO cash In on the
so-called perfect chain which just
simply cannot fail-IF?
Now, II you multiply S2,046 BY
the number OF. chains that have
started and will start, Il can be
readily seen that lot OF money
must be collected or pooled before
those who actually contribute to
the pool can hope to set any share.
Many complications are already
arising to cause MISUNDERSTANDING
