A Thought for Today
Change In Plans

It is generally taken for granted that the administration and the business con- munity must find new method of bring ing about business recovery, in view of the supreme courts MIRA decision, and that this method must include some better system of applying those controls which fell to the ground in the sick chicken case. Since most people agree that something in the nature of a constitutional amend ment would be necessary to bring this about, it is apparent that any such pro- gram would take a very long time to put into operation.
 It might be more stimulating to look in an entirely different direction. The rever- sal of MIRA fortunes unquestionably brings the New Deal program to halt; but the field of government control of business IS not the only one in which fresh course could we'll be charted. For it is worth remembering that the MIRA was not mere ly . scheme for integrating the business world through government action. Its basic philosophy was the notion that re- covery could not take place unless prices were kept up, and this, in the condition of the last few years, was possible only through restriction of supply.
 As the MIRA collapses, the chance of putting this policy into effect collapses also; and it is worth asking ourselves whether a change of course in this field might not be advisable. When you try to bring about recovery by maintaining good prices, you run the risk of mistaking the symptom for the disease. Falling prices, or a low price level generally, are not the cause of bad times they are the result of bad times.
 If you undertake to boost these prices by cutting down on the available supply of goods, you are not getting at the under lying trouble. The real trouble is the fact that production at profit is not possible for the bulk of the producers. In other words, it is the flow of goods itself, rather than the price level at which the flow is taking place, that is important. And the downfall of the MIRA may give us an ex- cellent chance to re-orient our policy so as to deal with the trouble itself instead of with it's painful symptoms.
 We have been trying, so far, to bring about prosperity through the control of an artificial scarcity. In some ways this has borne an unfortunate resemblance to the labors of . man who tries to lift himself by his own bootstraps. We may be better off if we get away from the notion that we can help ourselves by the use of scar city, and turn to the idea of trying to work the trick by stimulating abundance.

Norfolk republican when the Meriden legislator subjected his opponents con- gressional record to close scrutiny. While not actually uttered in subtle fashion the impression was created that the state could not possibly function without the services of Senator Walcott We don't doubt but what this contributed to his defeat
 We never thought that Governor Cross subscribed to this theory. We knew that he believed in bipartisan representation on the benches of our courts and endeav- ored to live up to this theory. His recent tendency to replace in public office men, whom he himself and his party have re- moved from office, may meet with ac- claim in certain circles, but it is hardly consistent with past events nor with the continued prosperity of the democratic party in this state.

We're Still Dissenting

There has been much said in the last week or 50 about two appointments of Governor Wilbur l.. Cross. They are those of Frederic c. Walcott of Norfolk as Con- missioner of Public Welfare and s. Nc Lean Buckingham of Watertown as Milk Administrator. We had our say on the naming of the former last week. We also ventured to voice mild objection to the latter appointment early this week. All of which probably makes this paper con- spicuous by it's lone stand, for to date we have seen only approval of the above choices in both democratic and republican organs.
 We still stick to our guns and think that the governor should have gone elsewhere than into the ranks of ''lame-ducks," particularly in the last days of the Legis- lature, in making appointments. We can't blame the democrats, especially mem- bers of the Legislature, for being aroused at the governors action. We wouldn't blame republicans for accusing the demo- crats of playing whole hog or none had the appointments both gone to democrats. That seems to be perfect "out" for those who claim that the governor went above politics in naming such high-minded citi- zens as all of us know MT. Walcott and Mr. Buckingham are
 But we would like to point out that in 1888 Governor Cross saw fit to remove the same MT. Buckingham as Commis- sioner of Agriculture and appoint in his stead the present head of the department, Olcott F. King, democrat. Certainly, if Mr. Buckingham was not considered cap- able of continuing as administrator of this department, when the only democratic state officer was the governor, why should he now be qualified to take over the high " controversial duties of administering the milk industry of the state with all it's elective officers democrats?
 Last fall the then congressman from the third district, Francis T. Maloney of Mer- iden, was subjected to considerable harsh criticism because he had decided to make militant campaign against Frederic C. Walcott. seeking to succeed himself in the U. 8. Senate.

Washington, June 10-The su- preme courts MIRA decision has changed the immediate political picture.
 Usually the summer just be- fore a campaign summer is somnolent and lazy. Political fences are repaired, but without any fireworks.
 This summer is different. The electoral campaign for 10S6, in effect. already is in full swing. Heavy guns are being wheeled into place. The firing is going to be hot and heavy. @
 Reason is that Roosevelt op- ponents suddenly have been pre- sented with an issue. And they can't afford to let 1t get cold. Hitherto they had a number of minor issues, were groping rather fruitlessly for an effective way to use them. @
 But now they have been hand ed q heaven-sent weapon. They can attack. Roosevelt as the up. rooter of the constitution, an advocate of revolution, disre. specter of the founding fathers.
 Roosevelt, in turn, has de- cided to more than accept the challenge. He is taking the initi- ative in the battle by insisting on pushing through his legislative program in toto. This means con- gress in session all summer and the most vigorous political and legislative battle in years.

They Liked Babies
 For 100000 Pounds
By BRUCE CAPTION

X In "Ripeness Is All,,' Eric Link later undertakes satiric inves- tigation of the way in which love Of money can stimulate the paren- tai instinct.
 He introduces us to the home of wealthy and titled English bach elor who,dying, has Iwilled that his fortune. of 70,0O0 pounds shall go to whichever of his immediate rel- atives shall be the parent of the greatest number of children two years hence.
 There are half a dozen e1igibles; the dead mans sister, three female cousins, and two male cousins. The sister is q confirmed old maid, one of the young women is bachelor girl who cares about nothing but golf, one of the young men has dis appeared, and the other is hope lessly a woman hater. The other two girls are married; one has one child and the other none.
 You can imagine how things be- gin to buzz when news of the legacy gets out. The situation, of course, is complicated by the fact that all the prospective benefic- aries are badly in need of money.
 The childless married woman gives birth to twins, and takes the lead; then the other married wom- an has one child and ties her; then the 1ong-lost man shows up from Burma with five half-caste children, and seems to have things cinched until 1t develops that he hired all the children from q na- tive family.
 At last there is a totally unex- i,ected twist which disappoinss ail these people and puts the money whore it will do the most good.
 Mir. Linklater has written on amusing satire, and has dcdged the innVmerable chances which the plot offcrs him tc get erumby.

London Letter
By H. l.. PERCY United Press Stan COrrespondent)

r~s-~-@
 London. (UP)-on the day King Edward VII of Britain died his lilly, Witch of the Air, won a race. It is said that some of his last words were an expression of de- light.
 And with the death of King Ed ward there came to the throne a sailor king, little interested in the racing, world. Men wondered whether the famous Sandringham stud, established by King Edward, which won for him $730,640 in stakes, and with stud fees and sales total of $2,463,115, would decline.
 They need not have feared, for even if King George is not very interested in racing, he has at least maintained the Edwardian tradi- tion. It has been said that he is even "a better judge of a horse than his father" but what he has lacked has been his fathers luck.
 Thrice Derby Winner
 King Edward won three Derbies with Persimmon; Diamond Jubilee and Minoru. King George has never. had 8 horse good enough even to show in the big classic, and, in fact, he has only had one classic winner in his racing career -Scuttle, who won the One Thou sand Guineas in 1928. 3fs
 The King has had few big win- ners and he still has a long way to so before he equals his fathers record. Among his best have been WAo n xxn xryI.f fnI. 1<. nxra1 Hunt Cup in 1923, Runnymede, London Cry, Aloysia and Limelight who won the Hardwicke Stakes at Ascot in 1883. It was a great race. Ridden by the Kings veteran Mo- 1 jockey, Joe Childs. { Limelight and two others were battling it out a hundred yards from home. 2
 At fifty yards Limelight wob- bled. The heavy weight of 136 pounds was beginning to tell. But Limelight had a big heart. He an- swered his jpockey' calls and fash ed past the post winner by the merest margin.
 Has Small Stable
 The King cannot afford big stable. He. has only seventeen &AVASI An VI A0AhAAAAS at RAOoSAA@s 0ot the best horse he has ever had was Friar Marcus, some twenty years. ago. He was the perfect model of a sprinter. He was never beaten as a two-year-old, winning all his five races. It was hoped to train him up to classic form, but he praoved to be nothing more than sprinter.
 Friar Marcus once ran an aSmaz- ing race. In a handicap at New. market he wes lengths behind a furlong from home. His jockey showed the whip. and the sight of it appeared to frighten the lie out of the horse. He appeared scarce iy to touch the ground as he bounded up the hill. and he swept past the leader to gain an aston- ishing viotoriy. Racegoers said it was tho nearest approach to hy- ing ever soen in racohorse.
