Canada Goes Liberal

American interest in business recovery and social security turns for a moment from Washington to Ottawa. A remark able thing has happened over there. Can ada, at first supercilious about our recov- cry procedure, is preparing to trail along with the States. Premier Bennett, head of the Conservative or Tory Party, is fac ing national election with New Deal platform which in many ways parallels the one at Washington. Apparently the Con- serxatives are going to leave the Liberals with hardly leg to stand on.
 ' The Conservatives evidently have seen great light since all the provinces went Liberal in their last elections. And what 5does Bennett propose? Nationally SUD- ported public employment instead of the relief dole; employment insurance; acci- dent and sickness insurance; new old age pension scheme; income tax laws correct aing Inequality of wealth distribution; laws for minimum wages and maximum work ing hours; a square deal for agriculture; elimination of economic parasites; and so1on, in what for Canada is very ad SYanced program.
 The spirit is as liberal as the program. s.There must be an end," says the Premier,
The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-02-18

. ito the reckless exploitation of human tesources and the trafficking in the health and happiness of Canadian citizens.| He demands, too, an end of reckless exploita- ton of natural resources. If the Liberal Party should win, the election, presumably ! it would, go still farther toward the left. | Apparently Canada is not going to be, thereafter so satisfactory refuge as it has been for frightened American money. And that will do no harm. We can use our money to good advantage right here in this country.

Is This Encouraging?

The daily chart issued by the State Mo- tor Vehicle Department, showing automo- bile accidents and fatalities, is encourag- ing. There is noticeable decline. All of which makes us wonder if it will have any effect on the amount of automobile liabll- ity insurance Waterbury motorists will pay this spring. We are awaiting further con- ferences between our Connecticut legisla- tor and the actuaries of several of the large insurance companies of the state on this all important topic.
 Of course the auto death rate doesn't have any effect on damage awards for mere injuries. And they are high in this particular territory, so the insurance con- pany representatives claim. They should know, for they have to pay the claims that are brought against them. lf as proposed by Rep. John D. Thoms of this city and Rep. William P. McDermott of Naugatuck, the Legislature sets up commission to probe the rates maybe we'll get enough data to permit of correction of existing rates. t.
 If the fault is with the insuring con- pany, we should know it. If the fault is with the motorist and the courts allowing heavy damage claims, then we want 10 , have it proved to everybody's satisfaction. : We are not too hopeful of the Legislature ? acquiescing in this matter and granting authority for commission to be named. But perhaps from the efforts of the valley legislators to straighten out the present situation some good will come. We cer tainly hope so.

A Book a Day
Lay Off Unless You
 Have Steady Nerves
By BRUCE CATION

If you have nerves of tempered steel and stomach which noth- ing can disturb, you will find much to interest you in "The Breathless Moment" a book which is quite accurately subtitled, "The Worlds Most Sensational News Photos" If you aren'tso equipped, you may be sorry you ever opened 1t.
 Wor what we have here Is a long series of pictures revealing what might be called the essential bru- tality of American life; the hard boiled; knock 'em dead background which expresses itself in lynchings and in prison riots. in strike battles and in auto accidents, in gangster killings and in hangings.
 This bok. I mean to say, con- tains photographs of all these things. It contains pictures of men being burned aliye-horrible close ups which leave nothing to the inn agination; pictures of wrecks and accidents, of beatings and pitched battles and executions. page upon page, of them, a social document as horrifying as it is revealing.
 Some reviewers have questioned the publishers taste in issuing suchsuch, book. Such questions seem to me to be beside the point This is all part of our. America; these are the things that happen with, deadful frequency, and if they happen they might as well go into a book--to make still more difficult the job of that future historian who tries to get an understanding of American life in this decade. The book is the work of PhiliT Van oDren Stern and Herbert As, bury. Published by Knopf, 1t sell' for $S.S

A Thought for Today
Much Concern Now

Some years ago there was considerable discussion in the state about republicans holding positions in several branches ot the state government. We don't need to mention the fact that the references fell on deaf ears. Whenever there was any suggestion of changes in the method of procedure in the days of complete repub- lican domination the proposal had no chance whatsoever. It was lost in maze of g.o.p. legislators.
 The case is different today. We might imagine protest coming from the social ist legislators about any political party allowing it's members to hold positions Tn legislative and executive departments, but certainly such protest from the republl- can side of the house is rather far-fetched. Yet Representative Edwin o. Smith of Mansfield feels the democrats are going contrary to the State Constitution by al- lowing certain members to serve in the Legislature and hold commissionerships or departmental office at one and the same time
 Asked for a ruling Attorney General Edward J. Daly stated that it was per fectly legal for man to hold office in two branches of the government. We don't think, by way of an aside, that any mem Der of the major political parties ever took issue with the legality of the case. Nor were they concerned with the propriety. Whatever protests there were (and we recall voicing few) were in the interest of the state at large quite aside from politics. .s..
 We remember discussing the case of prominent republican leader who at one and the same time was First Assistant Attorney General, town court judge, and a member of the House of Represen- tatives. That did seem like overdoing it bit. Yet with all the talk there never was any real public excitement over the case. There always will be critics of dual office holders. Perhaps they are justified. But one should always consider the source.

State Forester Austin F. Hawes is of the opinion that the federal government will allot Connecticut five more CCC camps. The state asked for six, but five seem certain. They would increase the enrolment of eco youths from 5000 to 4,OOO. It's good news to read that the CCC movement is succeeding just as well in this state as it has in every other one. We are accomplishing wonders with the aid of the young men of the nation who were at turning point ilf their lives. Snatching them from idleness to life of work and training will do wonders and make for better citizens.

1886 PRESIDENTIAL CANDI- DATES, ROOSEVELT.LONG-
 HOOVER. WHAT'S YOUR GUESS?

Editor Waterbury Democrat:
 Has Ex- Congressman Goss of Waterbury opened offices in Wash ington for the purpose of studying the moves of the Roosevelt Admin istration?
 The republican party is leaving no stone unturned to stage q come back in 1886. To them it's then or never.
 MT Goss evidently has been read ing Mark Sullivan and Frank K. Kent (syndicate. news writers) both of whom predict a split in the Democratic party through the formation of third party. Said thhd party to be formed by Huey Long, Upton Sinclair. the LaFol- ettes, Senator Shipstead and pos sibly Father Coughlin. The last named will not run for, nor will he accept any political office. But Huey Long is known to be openly seeking the presidency and Is cur rying favor from Father COughlin.
 The gap between Roosevelt and the above mentioned liberals is get ting wider every day. The question is will the people return to the re- publican party? Which brings up another question, what program have the Republicans to offer that warrants their return to office? MT Goss is, perhaps. not concerning himself with that. His job Is to fur nish republican sharp-sho with campaign material.
 Roosevelt by his insistence In running a one man show has left himself wide open. A lot of under lings have had to take it on the chin for the bad, guesses of Roose- welt. According to the latest dope | in the papers Ex-President Hoovei li is to be the Republican candidate | in 1886. It sounds strange at this time but the republicans haven't developed another candidate Hoover might duplicate whai Cleveland did under almost similar circumstances. ss
 | All indications point to a politl cal battle in 1886 the like of whicl this country has never witnessed Roosevelt is credited as being thu shrewdest politician that ever sa' | in the White House. When 193i rolls around he probably will faci tthe greatest test of his career.

 FINALLY, Roosevelt has in- sistently at his elbow, Marvin MacIntyre, friend and associate of lobbyists, and the most re- actionary member of the White House secretariat.
 The old brain trust has com pletely evaporated. Its members rarely call at the White House. When they do, MacIntyre usu- ally blocks their entry. UNHAPPY TUGWELL
 Rex, Tugwell got in the other day to protest against the purg- ing of his radical friends from the AAA. He was so indignant that he actually offered his res- ignation to the president.
 Roosevelt pacified him, per. suaded him to stay on, but the No. 1 brain truster remains any thing but happy.
 A friend, entering his office the other day, found him with his feet on his desk doing abso- lutely nothing.

 Because in six months a new term begins at Columbia"
 Probably this prediction is correct. But probably also before this happens, Roosevelt will take another swing. to the left tenn porarily play ball with his lib- eral advisers.

 It is not just the repetition Of your symmetry we see, But mans elemental needs You bring to mind. Shelter, warmth and cheer; Fireside and companionship. You shall help;
 For you are waiting there Across the snowy yard And you shall not end in ashes, But as, memories. in the flame.
