Calls New Deal Aid To Rich, Not To Poor
By BRUCE CAPTION

In "rhe Economic Consequcn cnces of the New Deal," Benjamin Stol- berg and Warren Jay Vinton sug {. gest that the forgotten man Is In much the same position as the be- unused countryman to whom city slickers have just sold the Brook iyn bridge.
 These authors, quite bluntly, see the New Deal aB fake, whose net results will be to leave the titans Of finance and industry in a strong CT position than ever before.
 "The thing that outrages our Social economy is the .irrespo nsible power of great wealth." they write. The ravages which big ownership infiicts on our society can be gauged on the slide-rule of eco- homie statistics. The figures are clear. What is good for big own- ershIp is bad for tho rest of us.''
 And yet, they complain, prac- tically all that has been done in Washington is in the interest of big ownership. There has been no at- tempt to solve the contradictions of scarcity economy trying td function in an era of plenty. Tn. stead, the contradictions have been deepened.
 "The New DcaI," they say, "ii merely the capture of government by 'scientihc' social workers. It 1, merely a remodeling of the White House into new Hull House. And the Brain Trusters are nothing but settlement workers who want thu big bad bankers and the good little workers to play together in peace. A caustic commentary from ths lcft-wing viewpoint, this.

Them's Fighting Words

i We suppose that good old Huey Long in his political career has been called so many names that it's second nature with him to retort in kind whether he is talk ing in private or in public. Certainly he was in fine fettle for such an outburst Tuesday in the Senate when he cndeavored to read Postmaster General James A. Far ley right out of the party. It is no reve- lation to say that the genial "Jim' has his enemies You can't direct party without having them.
 { However, we doubt very much if the Long outburst or his quotation of what the Mobile, Alabama, Post had to say of MT Farley in it's issue of February 8, will cause another war of the states. Incl dentally the Post took to the use of Page for this editorial attack on MT Farley. { It said among other things: "The ven- erable Senator from Nebraska, the Honor able George w. Norris, has introduced a bill in the Senate whereby he seeks to sep arate such political bandits as big pachy- derm Jim Farley from two payrolls - Government and political. |. :"
 Again in another quotation Senator Long read this, That would be q pretty mess, due to the fact that Farley is with out doubt, the most interruptions pollti- elan since the days of Boss TWead, and he would still be Postmaster General even # figurehead had been named. ." All of which doesn't arouse the stir of senti- ment against Farley that southern blow hards might expect. After listening to the tirades of stamp-collectors @ about Farleys crime of giving away imperfor- ate and ungummed sheets of stamps to administration officials, we learned that it was a common practice in past admin istrations for the Postmaster General to act in similar manner. Please note this all stamp magazines that have been taking MT Farley to task.

Japan Marches On

.s Japan likes to start military campaigns in mdwinter. With Manchuria, Jehol and the recently mastered province of lChahar behind her, she crashes westward through outer Mongolia, invading Inner Mongolia and evidently driving along the caravan route toward Lake Baikal, her final objective. Thus, without coming into conflict with Soviet Russia, which is busy to the northward, double-tracking the railroad from Lake Baikal to the Pa- fcific, Japan will command the Russian
 border to interior China and cut the con- nection between the Russian and Chinese
 Communists.
 j Meanwhile Japan proceeds also by di- plomacy to fasten her grip more strongly upon China. She has made demands at ,Nanking which are virtually repetition of the famous 21 points of 1915. For .eign Minister Hirota at Tokyo makes diplomatic denials now as his father did then, but the facts are plain
 < Japan generously offers to help China withdraw from the League of Nations and the western powers, to provide Japanese military advisers for her instead of Ger man and American officers, to make sep arate treaty with China nullifying the :, Washington Nne-Power treaties and other pacts objectionable to Japan, to assume the responsibility of defending" China as Japan defended Manchuria, to honor China by exchanging ambassadors with her instead of ministers, and on top nf all these benefits to help suppress the
 Chinese Communists and provide large
 loans, secured by mortgages on China's
 most valuable resources.
 a Pity the helpless Chinese. The Japa-
 t,t ,oiIN iu fine for the Samurai, but hard on the
 workers War requirements already take fnearly half the huge Japanese budget, and grow steadily. "The whole Japanese na- .tion," says Naval Minister Osumi, must
 make up it's mind to cope with the situa-
 tion even if we are reduced to eating rice
 gruel." The peoples gruel grows very thin. But the War Lords hope to thcken it when|they have swallowed China.

Along much of the Connecticut river the beauty that turks along the shores vies with that along the Hudson. But the Hudson is not polluted like tho Connecticut and along It's shore A proper apprecih- ton of its beauties has caused the construction of parkways and parks. Of course New York may have more money for such pur. poses than Conencticut; but 1t also has had more of the spirit which takes advantage of 0 natural re. source and makes the most of t..
 Connecticut and Massac oh hueetts, so far as the Connecticut river "a concerned, have had no public spirit whatever.

President Roosevelt dedicated himself t0 that task when he went into office and sooner or later his administration must explain just how far it has gone along such lines. Reciprocal trade agreements may be the way out for the United States to boost it's foreign trade, but the person making such agreements has got to be reliably certain that they won't inflict more damage than good upon the states. Connecticut may be selfishly interested in keeping up tariffs on clocks and watches, but when a substantial portion of it's population depends on this industry what would any man do?
 There are many cities and towns in this state in which the clock-making industry is the most important one. Perhaps Wa terbury could in time reconcile itself to the loss of this industry, but what of Thomaston, Forestville, Winsted, and such places where the clock or watch shop is the one big industry? It isn't fair 10 any community to kill off it's manufac- turing plants. Certainly in this one in- stance the results don't justify the means being taken to aid foreign trade. While Switzerland won't threaten our clock in- dustry, Germany and Japan, if given half a chance, will. We propose that such . chance be not afforded.

"Why Not Compulsory Bacon Eating" That's what the Montana Oil Journal sug- gests in lieu of substitute for the alcohol blend scheme that proponents are trying to force on Congress to aid the farmers. It is their claim that 10 per cent blend of agricultural alcohol in all motor fuel would aid the farming class immensely. There is another side to the story, too. But we like what the Montana paper suggests. It's more like the good old America of some years back when good humor was apparent on every side and not the grimness and radicalism of the present day. The paper concludes after it's attack on the alcohol blend scheme with this statement: "Why not pass law to make every person blend two slices of bacon with his breakfast every morning, to use up waste hog production" It may sound foolish, but has more merit than the other proposition.

Not Undemocratic

It is not contrary to the principles of the democratic party for it's duly-elected representatives to fight for protective tariff on clock and watches. The day of the division in parties on tariffs for revc- of all parties to erect not trade barriers around the United States, but to establish such agreements as will insure the home industries of chance to compete with foreign, at the same time preserving some degree of amity with countries who are potential customers.

Selected Poem
THE FOG COMES IN

Oleanor c. R. Young in The Christian Science
 MOntor). would not always have It NO Gray and wet and brcat thlcssy near Yet moments come when It's silence seems Incomparaby priceless and dear. Houses and hedges grow indistinct; Trees fade slowly out of sight Only bit Of the world remains Yelled in ceric light Down the river the foghorn sounds Deep-throated raspy notes; And always the fog creeps steadily in Fro the splash of the river boats. I, who love sunshine And gay blue skies. Marvel because VI feel Glad to the fogB wet touch my face, Glad for its nearness, like gossamer lace; Glad for the way my world grows small As the fog settles softly over 1t all; Gladly expectant for soon will Delight fin that rapturous, eager thrill That comes when the sun pushes patiently through The fogs dense curtain, Disclosing the blue, Pale. waiting arch of the winter sky That quietly waits For the fog to roll by.

We never thought of the island of Man. tucket as a hunters paradise, but it seems it became just that when the government of Massachusetts declared an open season on deer on the island. The animals had multiplied so rapidly since their propaga- tion there some years back that farmers and orchardists complained of damage to crops. The open season was allowed to kill off some of the deer. In the first day 300 to 400 deer were killed. We should have said slaughtered. Governor Curley promptly ended the open season then. It only goes to prove that man with gun has little regard for good sportsmanship.
