A Thought for Today
Canadian Gold Standard

While France fights to keep her gold from draining into the United States Treasury and struggles against further devaluation of the franc, there is an inter- esting development nearer home. Premier Bennett of Canada submits bill to par lament permitting the revaluation ot the Canadian gold dollar at the discretion ot the government He has no present lnten- tion of devaluing, the premier hastens to explain, but parliament is soon to adjourn and before it meets again some govern ment may regard it as desirable"
 Canada suspended gold payments and began impounding gold soon after the United States did. Her dollar immediately fell to a par with our devalued dollar and has since kept even with it. This is what usually happens. The two countries form what is virtually an economic unit. Busl- ness impels Canada, as the smaller ot the two to accommodate her monetary policy to our own.
 It needs cause no surprise, therefore, if the Canadian gold dollar is soon reduced to the same weight as the American dollar, that is, about IA grains, instead of pre- tending to maintain it's theoretical value of 1922 grains. Such action, if it comes. will only be legal recognition of the actual fact. It would also be a necessary step Ill preparation for a return to gold pay ments, if any such move is contemplated Canada would be ready then for an inter- national conference.

Philippine Tansle

Something that deserves that over worked title, "epoch-making, seems to be happening on the other side of the Pa cific ocean these days, and we are not giving it quite as much thought as it deserves. The Philippines are in the pro cess of gaining their freedom. They are getting it peacefully, without bloodshed, because the power which has ruled them for a generation is getting out voluntar- ily. History contains no precedent for such action.
 The 1O-year independence plan seems to have won Philippine approval by an overwhelming vote. There remains, then, only the task of getting through the transition period as well as possible. Within a comparatively short time the adventure which began when Dewey's guns battered the Spanish fleet into so much scrap iron will be ended forever. Yet we need not think that, because the die has at last been cast, our own responsi- bilities are ended.
 For the 10 years of the transition per- iod, the United States still remains re- sponsible for protection of the islands. Congress recently passed a law authoriz- ing appointment of an American military mission to the Philippines. America will retain the right to intervene in island affairs until the decade is up. Now there is no sense in denying that our relations with Japan are somewhat strained. There is also no sense in denying that there are some Japanese who would like to see the Philippines pass under Japanese combination of these things might lead us combination these things might lead us into an extremely difficult situation, even after we have formally begun the task of getting out of the islands.
 Raymond Leslie Buell., discussing the situation for the Foreign Policy Associa- tion, suggests that there are four things the United States can do to ease this situation. He suggests the granting of independence now, instead of 10 years hence, to avoid the difficult transitional period; signing of a reciprocity agree ment between the United States and the Philippines, to save the islanders from economic collapse; employment by the new Philippine republic of expert advisers nominated by some such body as the League of Nations; and an international agreement among Pacific powers to guar antee naturalization of the islands.
 In granting the Philippines their free dom, we are trying to do two things: do justice to the islanders, and rid ourselves of potentially embarrassing entangle- ment. It may be that program such as MT. Buell. suggests would do the job bet ter than the one now being followed. It would be an ironic stroke of fate if the Philippine question" should involve us in trouble after we had formally started to withdraw.

Namesakes Get Acquainted

Even while the nations of the world in- crease their armaments and withdraw from each other in intensively national istic programs, individual groups in many different lands reach out toward foreign groups with friendly gestures. This year three cities in France are sending gifts to three cities in this country bearing the same names. La Rochelle is sending to New Rochelle, N. Y., piece of fifteenth century architectural ornament. From Cadillac near Bordeaux will come to Cadillac, Mich, two pieces of carving in wood and leather. From Macon, in the heart of Burgundy, will come, to Macon, Ga, an urn filled with soil and several wine growers jars. Georgia has just turned down repeal so the urn and jars may not be filled with French wine, but doubtless they will make interesting museum pieces.
 Last year Toledo, Spain, had great festival and invited citizens of Toledo, Ohio, to be guests at the celebration. Sev- eral public officials, a newspaper editor, a group of business men, an educator and three high school boys went and were handsomely entertained with old-world hospitality Perhaps this sort of thing is a little silly. The American cities with the European names have no direct links now with the old world. And yet such contacts may have, in the long run, inn portant results. Getting to know each others culture and learning tolerance through good will should help eventually to break down the foolish barriers which have recently been erected between peoples.

Safe Blind-Landing

Instrument-flying experts of the Army Air Corps have worked out radio equip ment for blind-landing which will eventu- ally be installed by the Department of Commerce at all airports along the com- mercial flying routes. The apparatus consists of two portable radio transmit ters, radio compass or homing device in the plane and sensitive altimeter, also in the plane.
 By use of this equipment pilot, ap- preaching fogged-in-airport, can locate the landing field and get his directions. Then, at certain altitude, he can put his plane into fixed glide calculated to bring it to ground in mid-feld. It is said that hundreds of successful blind landings have been made by Air Corps pilots by this method.
 The experimental work has been done The equipment has been perfected. The Department of Commerce placed it's order for the radio sets nearly four months ago. Installation at the flying fields will be made as soon as possible, but property must be leased, approaches constructed and tests made before operation may begin. An nouncement of the plan is timely now, however, because of the recent airplane accident in which Senator Bronson Cut ting of New Mexico was killed. Fog has been one of aviation's deadliest perils, but it is bound to be overcome or greatly miti- gated as radio and various automatic fly ing devices are invented and perfected and put to use.

Spilling the Beans

According to the Hartford Times of recent date Mayor Jasper McLevy of Bridgeport is about ready to fall out with republican leaders in Hartford. The break is coming over the fact that the McLevy demands on the Bridgeport court bill are not meeting with the proper re- sp0nse from the epublican-controlled judiciary committee. All of which makes very interesting reading in view of the outbursts of Mayor McLevy, and the three socialist senators some weeks back.
 Unless the committee reports out bill calling for creation of court in which there would be full-time judge, part-time deputy judge, full-time prosecutor, and two clerks, the socialists are going to cease playing ball with the republicans. This makes the remarks of Democratic State Chairman J. Francis Smith, which pro- voked the socialist outbursts very, very enlightening.
 It can no longer be denied that the socialists are in cahoots with the republi- cans. Whether this can be termed "deap in the offensive sense of the word, which the socialists seem to abhor, is neither here nor there. But at least it gives the state an opportunity to judge just how proficient these same socialists have be- come in their few months at the State Capitol. And it can no longer be con- sidered serious offense to accuse the boys from Bridgeport of doing bit of c0nniving in their own behalf This latest discussion of an intention to break with the R.o.p. program is quite revealing.

absolutely right and that my be- lifs were positively wrong.
 I paid three cents for one of the two newspapers last Wednesday to
 find front page article with the
 heading, Union Station Tower Bell
 Tinkled Tercentenary Day" Again
 on Saturday paid another three cents to find poorly drawn car- toon concerning the same subject. Six cents of good hard-earned
 money practically wasted for spiteful fiddle-faddle, all concerned with something antiquated.
 I happen to know certain facts about the ringing of the railroad
 tower bell that I feel would make much better reading than the cob
 webbed triviality or paper pellets
 handed out by the Leavenworth street combination. Here is the truth and I challenge anyone to
 disprove it:
 On Friday. April 26th., al, 11:50 a. m. someone concerned with the tercentenary celebration
 approached Asst. Supt J. H. Greer at his office in the Union depot and requested that the tower bell
 be rung at noon.. Having learned through the Democrat that Water
 bury was going to announce the opening of the celebration by the blowing of factory whistles and sirens and ringing of bells and chimes, MT. Greer readily agreed. He hurriedly summoned Baggage
 Master Douglas Rowley to assist
 him in the work. They raced up the almost never-ending stairway to the lofty tower immediately, arr | irving without moment to spare, and at the stroke of 12 o'clock started pounding on the bell with the huge tongue which once op- erated automatically. MT. Greer held his subordinate on his should CTS while the latter exerted every ounce of strength in his body 10
 swinging the huge bells clapper.
 They were both covered with heavy dust long before they completed their task. Both were practically
 exhausted, but happy. They had done their duty as grateful citizens of one of Connecticut's leading cities.
 But instead of mentioning one | word of praise for either MT
 Greer or MT. Rowley, the Leaven- worth street newspapers come forth a month later with some | stale flat comment about the "tin-
 kle of the tower bell" The ECHO 1 of one of those little ''tinkles" was like thunder in the ears compared | to any igh-principled noise raised by either of the Leavenworth street newspapers since April 26th More patriotism was shown by
 MT. Greer and MT. Rowley in those
 four minutes than either of the aforementioned newspapers has l shown since the celebration began

and the way they have tried to up- hold their respective city's fair name and place in the Common wealth. But for the Waterbury Evening Democrat this city would be the laughing stock of not only the entire state but of every state in the union that has any interest in Connecticut's history. And Wa terbury Is very proud of the Dem ocrat as 1t rightfully should be.
 It is my earnest hope that the Leavenworth street com bination never gets control of the operation of the city government. And if the citizens of this city are as intel ligent as I think they are and as they have always shown themselves to be, they'll make certain that this does not occur.
 Let no tower bell ever tinkle to herald such a victory, or should have written 'calamity"? Keep Waterbury's name out in front where it rightfully belongs. There are enough patriotic citizens to r,urantee this, and with such a loyal ard powerful friend as the Democrat to champlon such 1uSt cause. we won't have to surrender because of a few black eyes"
 From now on the Democrat will be the cnly newspaper I'll pay my good money for. If there was on- ly MORNING Democrat! Then Waterbury would never be at Il disadvantage. Let's applaud good and loud and ring the railroad tower bell and every other bell to back up the cry--"Waterbury wants a Morning Democrat" And let's keep the tintinnabulation up until we get one. If We make the racket real ear-splitting the Leay- enworth street combination might possibly hear of it in the due course of time.

WRITER THINKS FIR. COUGH LIN SHOULD NOT BOTHER
 WITH SOLDIER FIELD
Waterbury, Conn.,,
 June 2, 1885.

Waterbury, Conn,
 June 2. 1885. Editor of the Democrat:
 Once more allow me just a few brief lines to make reference again to the refusal on the part of the Chicago park board Soldier Field for this coming Illinois N. U. s. J. meeting. Father Coughlin's brief but pointed remarks concerning one Robert J. Dunham, park board presidents refusal, quoted in the Democrat Saturday, think needs no further defense. Tn a few words the worthy priest, as he always does, to use a common expression, said a mouthful.
 But as said in my previous letter, the discrimination in the present instance is too self evident in view of the fact that almost anything and everything except c bull fight has been staged at Sole dier Field. We'll that may be one way of blocking the radio priests but to my way or thinking and millions of others 1t is an open ad~ missi on Of weakness. And as the old saying goes. if the halls of the mighty are going to be closed to dispensers of the truth. they can always shlre . lot. And even then I am willing to wager Fathcr Coughlin would get just es big . crowd as he would at the swanky Soldier Field. t N. U. \. !. Member.

Just who are the financial back CTS of the Crusaders? Here we have it: Sewell l.. Avery, director of U. S. Steel; Fred I. Kent, vice president of Bankers Trust com pany; Wallace Alexander, sugar planter; Francis B. Davis, director of New York Trust company; Cleveland E.. Dodge, vice-president of Phelps-Dodge company, copper producers and also director of City Bank Farmers Trust com pany; Albert F. Sloan Jr., president of General Motors Corp, director of E. I. duPont de Nemours & Co, Some, if not all of these gentlemen are tied up with Morgan-controlled industries and banks. (partial list.
 Now, MT. Lange, I refer directly to your own statement which you characterize as being ''unequiv- ocaP'', I quote: "the Crusaders well come persons from every station of life, from every race, creed, color and party" That statement equiv ocates because it masks the true purpose of The Crusaders. Must recall that Hitler, Mussolini, Pill sudski and all other Fascist dicta- tors also extended the same well coming hand to their dupes, to- gether with the same hypocritical patriotic appeal, and when they had accomplished the dirty work for their seducers, they wer: abandoned, many of them brutally murdered or imprisoned a"d sub jected to torture. The Crusaders technique in building it's organiza tion, follows closely that of the mad-dogs of Europe.
 If any further information rel. ative to the Crusaders is required I am at. the service of it's executive secretary. You speak of the tens of thous- ands of brave and unselfish mer who willingly laid down their lives in order that mankind should bt free" Yes, to be free of the sort o; despotism that the Crusaders wisf to slip over on the American peo. pie!
 Incidentally, did you see any oi those men give up their lives? Il not, your humble servant did, ana it is with them in mind, and ths sacrifice which they made, thal such as the Crusaders should bs enabled to spread their hypocris, over the land that they died for! repeat, that it is with them in mint that denounce the Crusaders as the negation of the principles fol which they died for and which thought fought for!

CRUSADERS" ENOUGH TO TURN ONE COMMUNIST,
 SAYS R. o. FISHER
Waterbury, Conn. June 3. 1885.

WdtSTUuTy, SOIiHs June 8, 1895.
 Editor of The Democrat:
 My reply to Fred G. Lange, ex- ecutive secretary of the Crusaders Inc, whose denial of the Fascist nature of the Crusaders appears in the May 31st issue of the American. For the benefit of the readers of l local papers as well as to point out to MT. Lange how poor judge he is of points of view, I must plead not guilty to his charge that I am either a Communist or Com munist sympathizer-at least not yet. Such reactionary organiza- tions as the Crusaders may have the effect of making. me such, for, if ever I am constrained to bear arms against my fellow Americans, rest assured that shall do e,s so | against that element among them who identify themselves with such un-American outfits as the Nor gan-Liberty League backed Cru saders, whose purpose is, according to Philip Kinsley, their free pub licity man, in the Chicago Tribune on August |, 1884: Organizing boss vigilante groups to enforce their defiance of MIRA if necessary,
 business men and bankers are pushing expansion of an outfit called the Crusaders. Formed orig inally to let business men cut in on the liquor racket by repeal of | prohibition, the Crusaders now aim at wiping out trade union effective ness by taking the leadership in the struggle to preserve American | institutions from various minority groups of socialisticaily and com munistically minded people"
 Pages 5-6 of the pamphlet Questions and Answers about the Crusaders published by the New
 York organization of the Crusad- CTS, states: Now there is to be a national campaign to enlist one million five hundred thousand for mer members, young and vigorous chaps, for a vigorous drive against so-called planned economy" Also see St.. Joseph, Mo-, News-Press, | issue of June l, 1934.s
 The Fascist Crusaders do not like the idea of planned economy l-they prefer the unplanned eco homie and political anarchy which now is rampant un der capitalism. They do not like trade-unions al- though they have tho highest re- gard for employers associations. m fact are backed by ths National As sociation of Manufacturers. Self determination. by the American workers and small business men is unthinkable to the saintly Crusad- CTS who hide their real purpose behind hypocritical avowals of up- holding the Constitution!
 May l remind Mir. Lange thal members of labor unions, Social ists and Communists have as many rights and privileges under that priceless document as have bank CTS, industrialists and their paid lackeys. Undoubtedly the Crusad CTS are in need of those 1,500, ,0O0 young and vigorous chaps" for the purpose of developing them Into fIiticrite storm -troopers who will proceed to terr0rizc workers, newspapers, cducat0rs and NcIen- lists into submission tO the will of lthc bankers and employers.
