Real Fight to Come

The real fight over the proposed legal ization of pari-mutuel betting on horse racing in Connecticut does not come until the substitute bill, accepted by the judi ciary committee and reported favorably Tuesday afternoon, is sent into the House and Senate While the opposition to this lproposed means of raising state revenue was not as outspoken as in former years, Fit is unquestioned but that, in the House particularly, there will be well-defined bloc of legislators out to knife the bill.
 And Connecticut is sorely in need of just such funds as could be raised by tax ing the money taken in on pari-mutuel machines and in admissions at the gate io of the race track Of course the figures that are shown for other states are en- couraging. When states get anywhere from one-half to three-quarters of a mill lion dollars simply for granting the privi- lege of placing bets on the ponies it isn't a bad bet to pass up. Still we presume we have to be cautious and look this gift horse in the mouth.
 The Bridgeport Times-Star registers an immediate and emphatic negative to the idea of legalized betting. And it bases it's stand on a recent article published Ill Golfers in which the situation in Rhode Island after one season of racing with the accompanying betting is vividly pictured. It wasn't all bed of roses there, according to the writer's story, what with people squandering their money on pari-mutuel tickets and letting their debts pile up at home. There may be something in this for Connecticut to consider.
 Still we think we heard the same story with regard to the return of legalized liquor It was going to deprive the butcher. the baker, the candlestick-maker of many dollars which would go to the dispenser of drinks. We'd rather like to hear the drink dispensers side of this story. We haven't heard of many of them getting rich overnight, at least, not since the days of prohibition and fancy priced drinks. We'd be willing to take chance on this race business going somewhat along simi- lar lines Maybe somebody'll get rich, but we doubt it. And the state should profit thereby.

Didn't Go Over

Judging by some comment on recent editorial appearing in these columns, we didn't put across the idea that was back of it. The Meriden Journal, for example, in commenting on the same says, "The Democrat fOresees curious alliance of the republican party with the socialists, as exemplified by Jasper, in 1886, or maybe, tie-up with the Cross wing of the dem- ocratic party on fusion ticket. That's just what we meant, but evidently more explanations are due.
 ! As we stated before the activity of Mayor Jasper McLevy at Hartford can not be taken with grain of salt. This energetic official is building for the future. Whether it is for the future of the party he now represents, or for Jasper McLevy, we don't know. But at some future date this same MT McLevy is going to make convincing candidate for some political party in this state. It could we'll be either of the two dominant ones or the up-and- coming socialists.
 Hence our reasoning that with Mayor McLevy looming as big as he does in the political Armament, it is logical to assume that some republicans or democrats might seek his name in 1886 or in ensuing years. If this be strange alliance, then it is also one shrewly planned. We know that as head of the socialist party Mayor McLeVy can't be elected governor in 1886 unless events of the next year and a half cause great change of public sentiment in Connecticut. And we make this utter ance with all due regard for shifting po- itical lines.
 Isn't it fairly plausible, then, that the willy Bridgeport executive might seek sup port of either of the major parties or some particular group in either one of them to advance his candidacy? We may be premature in any such deductions. We may have the wrong slant on the situation. But at least we are simply expressing in writing what many men, politically wise and otherwise, are saying when they get together. The unfortunate part of it all is, if any faction or party, other than the socialists, take up MT McLevy it will find itself playing second fiddle to him.

 Editor, Waterbury Democrat: When General Johnsonf spoke at | the Publishers banquet March 4th
 and publicly attacked Rev Charles
 F. Coughlin "The Radio Priest
 over the Blue network of the Na-
 tional Broadcasting company, little did he realize that he was start
 ing controversy that will shake | the nation to it's foundations, If It
 is allowed to continue. In the l first place it would be interesting
 to know who appointed General
 Johnson as spokesman for the ad ,
 ministration, and who is behind
 this movement? If we have come | to the crossroads, and this con- | troversy is to be an, indictment or
 vind!cation of the New Deal, let
 the chips fall where they will do | the most good.
 In my estimation, Father Cough . | lin was justified in answering Geh- | eral Johnson, and he was answered in language he understands. If
 the general did not get the point some of his Wall street friends will enlighten him.
 American sense of fair play will
 assert itself, Father Coughlin, re-
 gardless of who or what he Is, has
 a perfect right, constitutional
 right to raise his voice as an Amer
 ican citizen and advocate neces-
 sary reforms, and some kind of aa equitable change in our Economic System which is about as. punk ns the ones who- defend 1t.
 Why doesn't someone answer Father Coughiin? Either shut him up or answer his fquestions. We know what the national figures ars on unempi0yment. and ws

A. Book a Day
How The Post War Era Of Hope Died
By BRUCE CAPTION

"The American Diplomatic game" by. Drew Pearson and Constantine Brown, is a book whick should have been called to your attention earlier. .. k It Is, a behind-the-scenes view of American diplomats in action a review of American foreign pol icy and policy makers from Frank Kellogg's regime in the State De- partment down to the present day; and because 1t is frank, re- yea1ing, and free from the desire to 'debunk everyone and every thing, 1t is an extremely interest ing book.
 Some of its. disclosures arc sur prising, but unimportant-as for instance, the news that the Kel- logg Peace Pact was the work of a New York college professor and . Chicago lawyer, and that MT Kellogg himself was very slow in coming to its support.
 More important is the general picture of world politics.
 Y AS the, Authors say, what we have been witnessing lately is the death of an era, the era of post war optimism - optimism that world peace could be maintained. that the League of Nations could be made to work, that interna- tional aco-operation could be ex- tended and world prosperity re- stored.
 Statesmen worked for these things at q time when the current was inexorably setting away from them, and in the end they were swept away.
 Kellogg, Stimson, Briand. Mac Donald--they struggled valiantly, but they were up against some thing too big to be checked.
 Now nationalism is rampant everywhere - and a great new war. as these authors see 1t, Is only a matter of a few short years.

the late cotton deal with Ger many, causing MT. Hull to- veto them in their final stages.
 All this is most confusing to foreign governments. The first duty of their trade delegations, on arriving. in Washington, Is to find out which is stronger with Roosevelt, Peek or H u'1l, and whose policy they should follow. HOOVERCRAFT VS TAMAIANY
 Then there is the Ropcr-Tar- ley Row. About this there has been no great publicity. Yet it burns fiercely behind the sceness'
 The secretary of commerce and the postmaster general never did get along well. They have directly opposite back grounds. Roper Is a democrat from the solid south. Farley is a democrat of Tammany training. The divergence increased when Roper campaigned against. Al, Smith. Farley was then one of AIs fiercest crusaders. q.
 Latest trouble came when Farley attacked the mail con- tracts of the aviation and ship ping lines. Roper is a champion of both interests. He winced painfully when Farley struck. OIL AND LETHARGY
 Another row which shoulders continually is that between Homer Cummings and Harold Ickes. The former is constantly letting his lawyer thwart the New Deal activities of the inter- for department.
 When, ,Ickes' lawyers wanted to bring action against the Eagle-Pilcher Lead company for alleged frauds against Indians in the Ozarks, the justice depart- ment consented to drop the case. When Ickes' New Deal for Puerto Rico wants action against the big sugar companies, he runs up against the inactivity of Cummings attorney general for Puerto Rico, whom Homer will not remove. And when Ickes lawyers want to push prosecu- ton of hot oil cases through district attorneys to direct ac- tion, Cummings make them run the gauntlet of his red tape.
 A similar row exists between the departments of Agriculture and Justice because of the lat ter's lethargy in handling its cases.

Here's good plan for lot of other communities in Connecticut to initiate. It's an inexpensive one, too, if the right steps are taken. And it's one that will bring dividends in future years in the way of better-Iooking city streets, which in turn naturally increase property values. In Bridgeport with the EZRA men doing the work the city will set out 2,000 trees as soon as the weather permits. They will be planted along ten miles of streets. The trees will be of the shade variety and, we presume, of the fast growing types. Two hundred men will be employed at this task. The trees are being supplied free of charge through private source and the work is paid for by the EZRA funds. Not bad, eh! Our one suggestion would be that a few nut trees be included in any such planting, even if they are slow-growing.

FALSE FIGURES FOR
 WATERBURY
(AIeriden Journal)


 Recent report on the relief rolls in Connecticut showed . total of IS9,00O persons, or. one, for every nine in the state. Somewhat odd /. ly. that happens to, be the Sleriden ratio, as estimated from figures of the local charities department.
 As to the average of the em- ployed, 1t would appear that abou: 45,0O0 are out of private employ ment, or one In every eight Il, nor- nal days. .ai s ,,s y,sNl
 The Connecticut situation is un. deniably bad, owing in part to this state being largely industrial, but conditions in, some other states are even worse. The peculiar feature about the Connecticut figures is the low numbers givon Waterbury, With population % probably slightly in excess of 100 ,00 ,!3Wa- terbury is credited in the state survey with having a feWeless than 6,00O, on public relief, which is q ratio of one t0tevery 17 residents. This becomes astonishing when comparison is made with HartfQrd and New Haven, each with some hundreds over 2s,00O getting as- sistnnce.
 Based on population estimates, 1t may be said that the two M3 cities runs,.at about one, inta little less than cikAt.a MeighbcrinE Mid.

A Hero In Peace

Records of the United States army list a great number of heroes, and nearly all of them are men who faced peril on the field of battle. But there are few who performed their deeds of heroism in time of peace, and one of these was James Hildebrand, who died in Atlanta the other day at the age of 80. .
 Hildebrand was one of the buck pri- yates who, in 1901, volunteered to aid Dr Walter Reed and his associates in the research that made it possible to bring yellow fever under control. The scene was Havana, where yellow fever was almost disrupting the army. Some of these men slept in beds just vacated by men who had died of yellow fever, wore the dead mems clothing, ate out of their utensils, and made every other possible effort to be in- fected.
 The others lived in the most hygienic surroundings, but submitted to bites by fever-infected mosquitoes. In this way 1t was learned definitely that the mosquito transmits the infection, and control of the disease was made possible. Few men in our army's history dared more to accom- plish greater ends than did this man Hildebrand and his buddies.
