No Easy Neutrality

The subject of American neutrality in
time of war between other nations has
been under investigation for several
months by the State, Navy and War de-
partments, with the assistance of inter-
national lawyers. AS Secretary of State
Hull says, the question becomes more diff
ficult the more it is studied. 1t is UNI
likely, therefore, that Congress will enact
a neutrality law during the present ses-
sion. The President, in recommending
such legislation, added that he would not
urge it now if debate on it would prolong
the session unduly.
Some day, as soon as is reasonably pos
sible, it would be we'll t. have our neu-
trality clearly defined and the means pro-
vided by law for maintaining it. Citizens
who say glibly that the United States must
keep out of foreign wars hereafter do not
always realize all that a neutral role in
wolves. There are such matters to be ar
ranged as the selling of munitions and
other goods to any or all of the beliger-
ents. Food, clothing, raw materials, ETC.,
though not connected with war directly,
become tremendously important to any
warning country. But the neutral shipper
may be torpedoed. What then? What of
blockades? There is also the matter of
American rights in the war area, and OF
American transportation on ships of bel
ligerent nations.
Certain privileges, profits and habits
would have to be temporarily surrendered
by citizens of strictly neutral nation.
Foreign travel, for instance, might have to
be postponed. Domestic jingoes and SYM
pathizers with one or another belligerent
would bring pressure to bear to end neu-
trality. The nation must decide it's policy
and then stick to it courageousy in spite
of these things. N,

With Power To Buy

Governor Wilbur L. Cross has named
commission of seven men and women to
acquire site and erect new state train
ing school and hospital for the feeble
minded. This action was authorized by
the last session of the Legislature. The
subject was a moot one throughout the
entire proceedings of the Legislature. For
some time the need of the new home has
been felt and it has been recommended on
several occasions. Due to the cost, prob
ably about $3,500000, there was quite
bit of side-stepping, etc.
At one tirle everything was arranged
to have the home built in Litchtield county
lust across the New Haven county line.
In fact overtureS were made towards
ACQUISITION of site in WATERFOWL, but
objections developed there amongst resi-
dents. There was considerable Jockeylng,
too, among legislators for a place on the
commission, several believing that they
were assured of appointment. Governor
Cross evidently had different ideas on the
subject.
He has taken the matter quite clearly
out of politics, judging by the caliber OF
the appointments. One, Mrs. Sara b.
Comstock of Westport, served in the House
at one time. AS to county divisions there
are three from Fairfield county, one from
Litchfield, one from Hartford, and two
from New Haven. If this means any
thing in the choice of a site for the school
il fails to take into account the type OF
commissioner the governor has named.
We can see that Governor Cross realized
full well that his commission must not
merely build suitable institution, but
must also constitute it's board of trustees
upon completion. He has acted rather
wisely.

Manufactured Money

The proposal of Senator Borah, that
Congress before adjournment shall au-
thorize the printing of $5,O00,O OO,O 900 OF
unsecured currency, is not taken very
seriously. There are many currency in
flationists in Congress, but the admins
tration is thoroughly committed against
the issuance of manufactured money,
whether for a soldiers bonus or farm
loans or any other purpose.
There are millions of citizens, no doubt,
to whom such ideas appeal. No public
problem is more difficult to understand
than money. 1t seems so simple for a gov
eminent which is in the business of max
ing engraved certificates representing dol
lars to go ahead and print lot of them.
Five billions of paper money would be $40
apiece for each of us, about $3.50 per fam
ily On with the printing
But it wouldn't be distributed equally.
1t wouldn't be passed around. It would
merely get in to circulation the way other
money does And when we got it, through
normal processes of work and trade, it
would be worth less than our present
money, and would make all existing dollars
worth less. No one would be richer and
most of us would be poorer.

precisely what he meant by say
ing he would "be on the platform"
in that campaign, ito defend state
and national governments" than
the Old Guard leaders of his own
party whose plans do not contem-
plate a fourth term for him.
Early in the last legislative ses-
sion the governor indicated that re
was serving his last term. A little
later, when his party Legislators
were not behaving as well as they
might, he suggested that he might
have to run again. Now he Of
fers a statement which may mean
whatever the reader or hearer in
terprets it to mean.
Very likely that is what the gov
ernor intended. He rather enjoys
making the politicians guess and
he does not mind making them I'M
easy.

governor who accomplishes that.

property owner, the motorist, to mention
two classes.
States like Connecticut should make
some formal disposition of the income
from liquor manufacture and sales. Cities
should do the same thing when they get
grants from the state based on their share
in the liquor taxes. This was one form
of revenue that we hailed in bygone years
as means of ending many of our worries.
Now that we have the revenue we. seem
to. still have the worries or else new ones
are being created 1t is not amiss to sug-
gest that liquor taxes be used to build
state institutions retire bonded indebted

Very Pertinent Figures

! It should not have been a surprise to
read in last nights Democrat that legal
beer and liquors have resulted in one bill
lion dollars being collected by federal,
state, and local governments in the United
States. 1t is pretty big tax bill, but one
that did not require much effort to pay
and payment of which, so far as the ulti-
mate consumer is concerned was not the
subject of much complaint. In short tax
alton of liquor importation, manufacture,
and sale has proved just as profitable as
it was predicted it would be-
II would be interesting to see just what
this new income has done for the several
forms of government involved. True a
fair proportion of it has gone into admin
iStration of the new liquor laws; machin-
cry has had to be set up whereby taxes
might be imposed and collected. But the
great proportion of it has gone for pur-
noses Of which the average man has no
knowledge. To what use are we to put

Hint To Map Makers
All Paved Roads Should Be Marked as Such,

himself to state aid roads or state
highways; yet there are many other
paved roads built by local town
ships, and those who are able to
find these roads will sometimes be
able to reach their destinations by
routes much more agreeable than
those marked on the maps.
On the other hand If they don't
know their way about they are
likely to run into difficulties. But
those persons who do not know
their way are the very ones for
whom maps are intended. Why this
peculiar blindness on the part of
map makers?
Some of the maps have indicated
the highways which are destined to
become state highways but which
have never been surfaced. They
likewise color the state aid roads.
including many which have not yet
been built. They fail to distinguish
the numerous interlocking and con-
Meeting highways which have been
surfaced by local funds. All map
makers seem to think it is mat
ter of great importance to tell the
traveller whether he is travelling on
a state highway, United States
highway, or a state aid highway.
What does he care, SO long as the
road is paved?
A really good map would show
all of the paved roads in Connect
cut. 1t would not tell whether they
were state air or state highways,
but it would tell whether they were
two-lane, three-lane or four-lane.
It would show many admirable,
well paved roads which (since they
were built by local townships) do
not appear on any current maps,
and it would fail to, show certain
state highways which exist only in
theory. I
The state now has the means Of
preparing such a map. Let the
state planning board compare its
highway map with the photograph
icsurvey of Connecticut; let it mark
on the highway map all the roads
which the Photographic map dis
closes as actually paved, and elm
mate the roads which are shown
by the aerial survey to be unpaved.
That will be MAP.

This business of making President
Roosevelt out to be insane is about as good
as the recent talk of impeaching him. The
latter course of action was seriously be-

can leaders, Representative Bertrand

with accusing the President of being "per-
ilously close to what some people call i'm

just so much talk, much of it uttered to
bolster up waning spirits in republican
ranks When the democrats couldn't i'm

The Peace Treaty of Trianon of 1920
is evoking more and more protests as the
countries involved find their citizens get
ting into increasing difficulties due to
border Irregularities. And by irregular
tiles we mean just that - the borders are
irregular. So much so that persons in one
country going from town to town often
are subjected to inconvenience because
they must cross the border into another
country. And one Hungarian farmer has
to pillow his fields in Hungary, Rumania,
and Yugoslavia. All sorts of weird COM
plications turn up as border laws are
strict and those offending are not treated
lightly.

Sees U. S. Drifting
to War in Far East
BY BRUCE CATION

~ u OAAOS11 Va 4S4N
Most American citizens have
realized by now, probably, that
it is high time for this govern
ment to make a definite and final
decision as to its future policy in
the western Pacific.
"War Clouds in the Skies of the
Far East" by Tom Ireland, will be
exceedingly useful to anyone who
wants to study the possibilities in
volved. 1t offers a complete and
painstaking review Of recent de-
velopments in the Far East, and
suggests that America has pre-
cisely two alternatives.
First. says Mr.. Ireland, we can
continue to oppose Japan's policy
in Manchuria and China. To da
SO would eventually mean war: so
II we make that choice we might
as well begin a costly naval race.
Secondly. Ell says, we can moder-
ate our attitude, let Japan shape
her policy to suit herself, and
thereby gain her consent to naval
reduction program that would be
a benefit to both nations.
AS 1t Is, he adds. we are trying
to do both things at once. We are
sternly critical of japanese policy
yet we still dream of arms reduce
ton. Our attitude he describes ms
one of small-minded meddling, and
he warns that 1t may eventually
set the world on fire.
There seems to me to be a good
deal OF common sense In his sug-
gestion that ''as long as the yellow
man keeps out OF the white mans
domain. tho white man must give
TO the yellow man a fair chance to
work out his destiny In the yellow
mans quarter OF the GLOBE"
