Dictatorship and Revolution

Fortune Magazine, in rather alarm ing article, sets forth it's fear of a dicta- torship in America arising from per sonal government" Opinions for and against this theory will be largely colored by the political or economic bias of ob- servers. But it is interesting to set along side of Fortunes assumption an article appearing simultaneously in the weekly Today The editor is Raymond Moley, a former New Dealer, but the writer, James E. Abbe, is a newspaper man whose busi- ness, as he says, is covering revolutions. !" He studied them in Russia, Italy, Ger many and other countries, and then came home to see what was going on here.
 "It's two years now" he says, "that I have been hunting for the makingS of revolution in my native land can't find them. don't believe they exist" He says he has gone all over the country, circulat- ing among all classes of people, and has found hardship, bafflement and discon- tent, but no revolution.
 Attending press conferences in the White House, he has found the news paper men not overawed by the presi- dent, and no appearance of the president trying to overawe anybody-in short, a chief executive acting like an elected representative. From such conference he went out and marched in commun- ist parade, getting acquainted with the redS and found in them none of the fiery zeal and confidence he had found in rev. olutionary bodies abroad.
 He concludes: "If we had all the trou bles postwar Germany had (which we haven't), and we were Germans (which we're not), and we let things go from bad to worse (which we won't), it would be years before we had a revolution pro- viding enough of us wantet- it (which we don't)."

Farmers of Connecticut who find it hard to make both ends meet these days, despite the appearance of roadside stands in front of their property, may draw some consolation from the fact that rural rehabilitation loans are now available. Mrs. Dorothy M. Beck is the regional director for the Rural ReSettlement and at her office in New Haven will receive all applications for loans. This plan goes hand in hand with that formerly an nounced whereby groups of farm families are to be moved from their present homes to ones where a better living is assured. It is supposed to work wonders for the farmer whose land is now barren and sterile Says Mrs. Beck, Small farm CTS are often so heavily loaded with debt that they find it impossible to get out from under. We believe that through our rehabilitation service we can adjust their financial problems. ." Let's hope so

It Has Come To Pass

Having announced it to the public of Waterbury last week it is considerable or a pleasure tonight to compliment Water bury's city fathers on the budget and tax rate proposed to the Board of Aldermen last night. Without a doubt it shows that when the electorate of Waterbury returned Mayor Frank Hayes and his CO., workers to office in October it made no mistake. And last nights results prove conclusively that Mayor Hayes keeps a promise once he makes one.
 The lower tax rate should be an incen- tive to all our local property owners who may be delinquent in taxes to clean up their accounts and start 1886 with clean slate. It should be an incentive to pros pective property owners to enter this field and to assume the burdens that go with such ownership. It means but one thing that there will be a steady downward movement of our tax rate until 1t has reached the point where it will be ac- ceptable to all and at the same time pro- vide sufficient revenue to enable the city's budget to be balanced.
 The return of part of the pay cut given city employees in the early years of the depression is but natural occurrence. Times are so much better that 1t would be a harship to continue withholding from employees of the city salaries to which they are rightfully entitled. No one knows this better than Mayor Hayes, Controller Leary, and our other city off cials. The increase in the budget caused by the larger payroll will, we know, be taken care of by the increase in revenue.
 Altogether it was pretty picture that the Board of Finance painted in present. ing the annual budget to the aldermen last night. It was one which indicates that Waterbury's financial footing is sound and that it will remain sound. We are being governed both wisely and pru- dently, all charges to the contrary not withstanding. The citizenry of Water bury should give heed to this and pay its respects to those responsible for such a state of affairs. Those voters who pub Mcly summed the cause of Mayor Hayes last October might we'll blush for shame today. The administration has continued to live up to all promises made for it and by it.

can movement, drove Vehicles into exile and re-inStated King George, opposed such sweeping amnesty. He threatened the king with the disapproval of the army and navy. The king replied that he would return to exile in England if the amnesty were refused.
 The winner in this contest of wills will be the true. strong man" of Greece today. The attitude of any normal American will be to approve King Georges stand. In this country the victorious political group does not throw it's opponents into iail or exile. And most Americans believe that stable and useful government re- quires liberty and freedom of criticism for the opposition as well as for the party in power. George of Greece prob ably learned something about conStitu- tional monarchieS and free speech, and so on, from King George of England while he was guest in the latter mon arch'S realm.

It is going to be interesting to watch the course of events down in Stamford where group of citizens has secured court order preventing the city selling any portion of a $375,OOO bond issue which was to be used to buy and equip a new city hall. Some technicality over the manner of expending the funds to be realized by the bond sale seems to have determined this means of holding up the transaction. Naturally the city officials are aroused and caustic in their criti- ciSm. Whether or not it was necessary to go to court to solve the difficulty is a matter that doubtless Stamford itself can best answer.

To Letter Or Not To Letter

Much ado about nothing seems to be the best explanation of the uproar that has accompanied the plan of the State Board of Finance and Control to paint identifying letters or names on the sides of all state cars. The idea has familiar ring It seems to bring back memories of an epic period in Waterbury's history when public cars were being placed under a similar scrutiny and efforts made to identify properly all city cars so that their use might be observed at any and all times.
 The purpose of state department cars is naturally to facilitate transaction of state business. They are not intended for personal use. We doubt very much If they are used for the same, although there are probably classic instances of where abuses have occurred and will con- tinue to occur. It generally depends a great deal on the individual or depart ment head to whom cars are entrusted whether or not they will travel many miles on state or private business.
 The whole thing sinmers down to the point of actual necessity of so many cars. If there were only few it would not be necessary for the state officials to check on them. But where there are what might almost be termed a super-abun- dance then naturally there is bound to be more than passing abuse of their use and constant question of when car is being used for public or private busi- ness. In our affluent days we made the unfortunate mistake of deciding that feet and legs weren't made to be used for walking purposes.
 Lettering state cars will no doubt re- duce the mileage on good many of them. It will also cause undue embarraSs- ment to officials and employees using the cars on legitimate business, but who will be made the topic of tongue-wagging and finger pointing. Departmental heads ought to be able to straighten out the matter if bills for purchase of new cars, repairs, gasoline, oil, storage. etc., are on the increase.

 During recent press confer ence, Secretary Ickes was being bombarded with questions re- garding the purchase of German steel for PWA projects. Sudden ly the door opened and a mes- senger entered, bearing a huge loving cup.
 A litter rang through the as- sembled reporters. Ickes grinned broadly, then said to the mes- senger with mock severity:
 Young man, don't you know better than to bring that in at this particular time? Don't you realize somebody is sure to say it is made of German silver?"
 "Well, what Is it and what is it made of?" demanded a news- man.
 That is the PWA tennis tro- phy. And just to keep the record straight, it is made of 100 per cent American silver, is the work of 100 per cent American craftsmen, and is mounted on a 100 per cent American ebony base"

How Trotzky Missed His Biggest Chance
 By BRUCE CATION

Trotzky would probably be the boss of Russia now in place of Stalin if he had only had the political sense to go to Lenin's funeral.
 So says Walter Duranty. famous foreign correspondent, in his new book, T Write as I Please" He explains his statement thus:
 Stalin, at that time, was only beginning to seize the Communist party machinery. Trotzky was in- finitely more popular with the army and the masses. He was, furthermore, an unparalleled orator and man of dominating, magnetic personality.
 Lenin died, leaving all Russia gaSping. His funeral was 8 great occasion. Trotzky could have ap- peared, focused attention on him. self, and orated Stalin right out of his job. But instead he sulked in the Crmea, let his golden oppor- tunity slip-and, finally, found his rival too strong to be overthrown. This bit Of inside history IS only one of the many absorbing tales included in MT. Duranty's fat book. He recounts the whole of his post war experiences as a newspaperman in Europe, when he saw history be- ing made and had an unerring eye for the important moments. He gives priceless pictures of Russia and its people, and of the mad turmoil of the early POS.
 Ido not know what the best novel, the best biography, or the best book of poetry of 1885 may be. But I am just about willing to declare this to be the most solidly interesting book of the year.
 It is packed with fascinating stun from cover to cover--and the covers are 6 long way apart

All conJectureS are pure guess work. But privately, the New Deal lawyers who are carrying the burden of the legal battling divide the big test cases into three categories: those they be- lieve they will win; those they ex- to lsoe; and doubtful ones.
 The lineup. highly interesting because it represents the inner Administration view, follows: Expected Victories
 l. Tennessee Valley Authority.
 2. AAA-notwithstanding the recent injunction granted by the Court to restrain the col- lection of processing taxes from Louisiana rice millers.
 3. Right of the Public Works Works Administration to con- demn land for housing and slum clearance projects.
 4. Right of the Public Works Administration to underwrite municipal power projects. Expected Defeats
 l. Bankhead cotton control act-secretly considered the weakest measure the government has to defend because of its compulsory features.
 2. Tobacco control act.
 3. Potato control act-a sim cere fight will be made, but the Administration will shed no tears over it if it is torpedeod.
 4. Frazier-Lemke form mort gage act-a non-New Deal law which was thrown out by the / court last year and passed again in a modified form.
 Doubtful
 1. Holding company act-most of the government attorneys an- ticipate five-to-four decision on this issue, and it may go for or against the New Deal.
 2. Wagner labor disputes act even some of its sponsors are dubious about the legality of some of its provisions.
 3. Guffey coal act-its con- stitutionality was also serious ly questioned when 1t was be- fore congress.
 In each of the doubtful issues, Administrationites are counting heavily on the consideration of public interest to pull them through.

Selected Poem
FOR A NEW LOVER.

Elizabeth Sanderson in The New York Sun) Cocoons about to break are much as
 Am now in need of warmer, hotter sun Before the damp wings open, spread to fly. And you can give the heat You are the one And you the one who also spun the thread Around weary grub who needed rest, A sorely needed sleep for heart and head From crawling always in an endless quest. Hard to be winter and be summer, too; Hard to be quietude and eagerness; But grant me this last element from you: Break this cocoon and show me happiness. Give back my way Of flight, and you will see Then, if you will, you may be rid of me.

Deserves Consideration

What the Republican National Committee should do is to give a series of beefsteak soirees all over the map, round up all the pros- pective candidates for the presi- dency, keep the mixed ale going the rounds, and see who gets the most lnomipations for the most offices. The winner should get the party call at the June convention to lead the fight against Mir. Roosevelt. On second thought the idea might not work out. Some of the beef eaters might not like beer, others would refuse to name anyone for anything unless charged with soda pop, and still more would be howling for nom- nations on champagne only. It looks as if the boys would have to settle the question in convention assembled after all and it does not make much difference anyway.

tiate between his job and his po- litical enthuiasnl. Young MT. Goodsell has an official position as investigator for the State Tuberc- ulosiS Commission. The work is believed to be concerned with checking up on cases which have already been passed upon by local t.b. authorities and is considered sinecure. What qualifications young MT. Goodsell has for the job, above, below, or beyond the fact that he comes from the bail wick of "Wheelhorse Harry" Mc- Kenzie who is one of J. Henry Roraback's representatives is shrouded in mystery. Equally mysterious is the way young MT. GoodSell happened to be picked. The members of the Tuberculosis Commission are said to have de- nied, individually and collectively, that they are responsible for his appointment. It is just one of those things which will happen on rainy days, and young MT. Good sell no doubt has nice eyes and is good to his people. But the Board of Finance and Control wishes to know whether his ap- pointment was legally made.

Unusual and Unprecedented

I dislike seeing a Democratic Board of Finance and Control be- ing put in the position of polit- ical feudists. Certainly no such unhappy example has been set them by their predecessors. There is nothing know of in the past to show that the various Republican boards of Finance and Control ever punished 8 state employe for mistakes as applicable as young MT. Goodsell's. Of course there is the story of a regular Republican office holder attempt ing, under economic pressure, to scrape the gold leaf of the capitol dome in Hartford and getting caught fiagrante delictu. Investi- gation satisfies me that there is practically no basis for the tale. The gold leafer scraper was go- ing up the ladder to the dome and not coming down. He was suf- fering from the harmless delusion that he was c homeless starling and wanted place to sleep. Any way the board took his chisel away from him, smashed his ladder, and compelled him to write four thou sand times on c slate T am very bad boy" The Democratic Board of Finance and Control should realize that if they tie a tin can to young MT. Goodsell's tail they are upsetting Republican tradi- ton of charity towards innocent offenders which has made the party in Connecticut what it is to-day.

Love and Duty

Republican state newspapers and Republican politicians have de- clared a Holy War in young MT. Goodsell's behalf. They insist that the moose is being readied for him because he is super enthusiastic youth who cannot see a young Republican without feeling an ir- repressible yen to organize him. Also that the offense for which he may be garotted is that he took an active undercover part in Wa terbury's latest municipal cam paign. All of which is so much oo-oo- -om-bala. What the Board of Finance and Control wants to know, aside from the legality of his appointment, is something else again. The board wishes to find out whether the expense ac- count said to have been turned in by MT. Goodsell for September 24th, 18th, and 26th should have been charged to the Young Re- publican Clubs of Connecticut or to the Tuberculosis Commission of the State of Connecticut.
