Ilfsh-American Club <, Favors James Kelley
Adopts Resolution Urging Congressman Smith to Recommend Present Postmaster for Permanent Job

Resolutions supporting the can. didacy of Postmaster James T. Kelley were adopted at a meeting of the Irish American social club held at Eagles hall last night. A brief resume of the past work done by Mr. Kelley since hls appoint ment to this position was given the large attendance. present and all voted unanimously in his fla yor. Telegrams were sent this morning to U. 5. Congressman j.. Joseph Smith and Senators Auglls- tine Lonergan, Francis T. Maloney strongly urging the choice of Mr. Kelley as regular postmaster.
 The Irish-American social ciuk has gone on record as being non- political but is also organized for the purpose of aiding descendants of the Irish race and to support them wherever possible, in group and individual advancement. ?

 Gaffney Speaks
 Atty. John Gaffney was the guest speaker at last nights meeting. As a member of the Bronson Li- brary board, MT. Gaffney stressed the purchase of books relative to Ireland. He said that the number of the present volumes containing history would not be of much as- sistance to the young .people and expressed a hope that finances would be available for the pur- chase of such literature in the fu- ture. He said that the club would derive some satisfaction in award ing scholarship or two to desery- ing students who have proven themselves to be scholars.
 The speaker urged all members to cooperate in the plans of thelr leaders so that they may continue to occupy a prominent place in the civic life of the city.

20 Alarms Recorded
 Here Within 9 Hours
Fire Companies Spent Busiest Day in Years Battling
 Brush Fires in All Sections of the City

In the. busiest day of the year, Waterbury's firemen answered 29 alarms, all calls coming within the nine hour period between 10:S0 a. m. and 7:30 p. m. Tanned by high winds, brush fires brought most of the days calls, and department officials were gratified today as they studied reports showing that all the blazes had been gotten ur- der control before they could ap- proach close enough to homes and property to do any real damage.
 The last alarm of the day was received at 7:28 last night, when ar oil-soaked drum in market ut 94 Meadow street caught fire. Five companies responded to the alarm. The only damage done was a small hole burned in the flooring of the store, which Is on property owned by M. Tramantano of New Haven.

 The brush fire alarms came ii. from every section of the city. There were two threatening blazcs in the Fairmount section, several in the East End, others In South Waterbury, and scattered brush fires in other parts of the city.

AUGMENTATION DENOUNCED

'To the young men and wom- en 1t is vital .that their oppor- tunity in life shall be preserved; that the frontiers of initiative and enterprise shall not be closed; that their. future shall not be burdened by unbearable debt for our follies: that their lives and opportunities shall not be circumscribed and limited that they shall have the right ot make their homes and careers and achieve their own position in the world. .
 ''.rhere are a host of prob- 1ems to solve if we attain these ideals: but again I repeat, that the first condition in their so- lution is orderly individual lib- erty and responsible constitu- tional government as opposed to un-American regimentation and bureaucratic domination.
 Yours faithfully,

SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS

"5. It Is well that we pause moment to examine what ob- jectives we wish to secure from the vast complex. of invisible governmental, economic and so- cial forces which dominate our civilization.
 'The objective of American life must be to upbuild and pro- tect the family and the home, whether farmer, worker. or busi- ness man. That is the unit of American life. It Is the moral and spinitual as wellsas the. eco- homie unit. With its independ-. ence and security come the spiritual blessings of the nation.
 "The fundamental protection of these homes is the spirit as well as the letter of the bill of rights, with the supports from the framework of the constitu. tion. They must be given pAace with the world. There must be confidence in the security of the job, of the business, of the sav- ings which sustain these homes.
 Increased standards of liv. ing, leisure, and security can come to that home through un- shackling the productive genius of our people. The advancement of knowledge must be ;translat- ed into increasing health and education for the children. There must be constantly improved safeguards to the family from the dislocations of economic life and of old age.
 with the growth of great in- dustrial forces we must continue to add unceasing projections from abuse and exploitation. We must be liberal in reward to those who add service, material or spiritual wealth to these homes. Those deserce no reward who do not contribute or who gain from exploitation of them. The windows of these homes must be bright with hope. Their doors must be open outward to initiative, enterprise, opportun- ity, unbounded by .regimentation and socialism. Today there must be restoration of faith, the re- moval of fear and uncertainty that these ideals and these hopes will be open to those who strive.

have been repudiated. The nation is faced with the greatest debt ever known to our country. The currency has been rendered un- certain. The government has been centralized under an enor- nous bureaucracy in Washington which has dictated and limited the production of our industries, increasing the costs and prices of their products with inevitable decrehsed consumption. Monopc- listic practices have been organ ized on a gigantic scale. Sm ] business men have been disabled and crushed. Class conflicts nave been created and embittered. The government has come into business in competition with its citizens. Citizens have e n coerced, threatened and penal. ized for offenses unknown to all our concepts of liberty. The courts are proclaiming repeated violations of the constitution.
 GENIUS STYLED
 Because of food destruction and restraint on farm production, foreign food is pouring into our ports, purchase of which should have been made from our farm CTS. The cost of living is steadily advancing. More people are de- pendent upon the government for relief than ever before. Recovery is still delayed. The productive genius of our people. which Is the sole road to recovery and to increased standards of living, Is belne stified, the nation impov- erished instead of enriched. The theories of this administration do not work. They are no longer a propagandized millennium; they are self-exposed.
 A. The people have a right to an opportunity to chaige these policies. It is the, duty of the republican party to offer that opportunity. And beyond insistence upon American foun- dations of government, 1t IS the dutq of the party to insist upon realistic methods of recovery: real jobs for labor. and real markets for the farmers. Those methods lie in removing the shackles and uncertainties from enterprise. After nearly six years of depression, liquidation, restriction of all manner Of purchases and Improvements, we stand on the threshold of, great forward, economic movement, if only the. paralyzing effects of mistaken governmental policies and activities may be removed.
 "The present conception of a national economy based upon scarcity must in all common sense be reversed to an economy based upon production, or work man, farmer and business man alike are defeated Surely eco- homie life advances Q n y through increasing production by use of every instrument sci- ence gave to us, through low ering of costs and prices with consequent increase in consump-- tion, and through higher real wages to the worker and real re- turn to the farmer.

 try Un.American Government and Bureaucratic Domination

Strifiing uncertainties of cur- rency manipulation must be re- move. Government expendis lures which, if continued on the present scale, can creat only bankruptcy or calarnitious infia- ton, must be curtailed.
 "The effective participation of the. states and loyal governments in relief under non- partisan ad- ministrators must be re-estab- lished 50 that waste, extravag- ance, and politics may be 'eiim- mated and the people better served.
 Great social problems of bet ter safeguards to the individual against the dislocations of ad- vancing industry, national calam- ity and old age must be discov- cred. But these problems of business, agriculture, and labor become much easier with restoration of economic common sense. Indeed, a score of eco- homie and social questions must be solved, and in their answers are locked the real advance ment of life and the attainment of security and contentment, in the American hoine-for that. is the ultimate expression of Am- erican life. But their solution will not be found in violation of the foundations. of human lib- erty.
