Remember the Pets

This is the time of the year when the thoughts of the man and woman of the house turn towards home and prepara- tions for school In the hustle and hustle of getting the children and possessions home from shore, country or mountain too little regard is often had for the fam fly pet. Some times cats and dogs, that have been pets for years, are forgotten until perhaps it is too late to get them so great is the distance from the vacation resort to the home.
 And then again many family has adopted pet just for the summer months. When the summer ends, so does the tenn porary home for the poor animal. Unfor- tunately the dog or cat does not recognize this and unless some sort of aid is provid- ed often will die lingering death from starvation. This is common occurrence and humane societies can furnish all sorts of evidence to show that it is very true and happens regularly even in the best and kindest of families.
 This is the week when the vacations end for those with families. Please hold a good thought for the dog or cat. If you cannot bring it home with you or don't want to at least make some provisions for it's care. If there isn't some person to whom it can be entrusted then get in touch with agents of the Humane Society or the Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. You'll find them in even the smallest communities and this is the time of the year when they expect calls and will respond to administer aid. After all the pet that has gladdened many hours with companionship is entitled to bit of care in preference to abandonment.

New Wealth

The great ore fleet that shuttles from Lake Superior to the lower lakes has been buster this year than in any other since 1930, freighting it's ore down to the "American Ruhr" and coal back from Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia to warm the Northwest and run it's work shops. This is the worlds biggest indus trial traffic. Is resumption is an index to business conditions more trustworthy, perhaps, than any other.
 The magazine Steel forecasts total ore movement totalling 27,000,0 0,000-tons, about one-fourth more than last year and well above early season estimates. It would be considerably larger if idle ore had not piled up in the lower lake ports during dull years, in quantity that would run them full year at the present rate.
 Steel, with all the turning lately to other metals, still enters into nearly all manufacturing processes and finds wider and more varied uses than ever. Those vast deposits of soft red ore at the head of Lake Superior, mined with great scoop shovels

Old Age Pensions

Another seven years and people will begin to get old age pension checks from Washington. That is, in the states that already have such pension systems, or will promptly establish them and join the gov- ernment in this combination plan. Some of the checks will go to paupers and some to millionaires. But there is fundamen- tai difference. The millionaire beneficiar- ies will have paid their own money into the pension funds, and the paupers will not.
 There are two classes of pensions estab- lished by this law, contributory and non- contributory. The former are much like those provided by insurance companies, and may be for any amount on which the beneficiary chooses to make regular pay ments. The latter, already operating in many states, provide moderate old age security for the indigent as public phil, anthropy. Uncle Sam merely chips in, and will do so for every state that does it's bit.

Mixing Disease With Politics

Roger V. Connor did not do very good job of pleading for the opening of the Isolation Hospital on Watertown avenue in the Waterbury Republican yesterday morning. Had he confined himself solely to the point he was attempting to make he might have succeeded in convincing the public that he was really and truly proposing humanitarian action But when he concluded his statement with the comment about "broken down political machine" it should have been clearly ap- parent that he was merely tying his can didacy and that of all opponents of Mayor Frank Hayes and the present democratic administration into the affair.
 The statement of the head of the inde- pendent-democratic ticket was well-timed, too. It was made on the morning of the day when the Board of Health was sched- u!ed (announced publicy) to meet to dis cuss the advisability of postponing the opening of all Waterbury schools. What better time for protestation than prior to meeting at which it had been fairly reliably reported that the Health Board would recommend that the school opening be delayed And what an opportunity for opportunists to claim that they had forced the administration through its Health Board to change it's course of action.
 Our feelings on infantile paralysis and it's spread in Waterbury are as keen to the situation as Mir. Connor's, yet we would hesitate to call down the wrath of the gods on the city officials for failure to open up the Isolation Hospital. In fact, we would not venture to voice too many opinions on the dread disease being but mere mortal and not sufficiently ac- quainted with the medical profession as tol make such sweeping demands. We feel sure that if Waterbury was in the throes of an epidemic that demanded the Isolation Hospital being utilized the Health Board would have pointed out such need long since. It is no consolation to parents to drag politics into human mis- ory The two somehow or other don't yotv

We'll Advised

The Board of Health acted properly and promptly yesterday in ordering that all schools in this city be kept closed for an indefinite period. With number of active cases of infantile pa' ralysis in our midst and parents uneasy, the wiser course of action is that suggest ed by the Health Board. We believe that all school officials concur in this opinion and trust to the judgment of such off cials as are in intimate contact with the disease or their co-members in the med ical profession.
 While the city officials are not desir- ous of creating a panic among the fathers and mothers of Waterbury, they are in. tent on preventing the disease getting be. increasing the number of diseases now re. ported here would be to bring together thousands of boys and girls in the school. room. Such public gatherings should be avoided say the best health authorities when there is danger of a disease like in- fantile paralysis spreading.
 Four years ago it may be recalled. school opening was delayed several weeks when like presence of infantile paralysis in the community was noted. We don't recall that this delay worked any real hardship on either teachers or pupils. Un- doubtedly it saved some lives and prevent ed more serious outbreak of the disease. While the present situation is not to be compared with that of 1881 such precau- tions as the Board of Health has recom-I mended certainly should be received in the spirit offered and the necessary coopera- tion provided.

OHilC Autuie OL thS SouSh' ~ ao'' Cotton long can reign supreme over his domain. ---....
 Groundwork for the drama began months ago when Sena- tors Bankhead of Alabama. Cotton Ed" Smith of South Caralino, George of Georgia and other cotton senators received assurances from Roosevelt that they need not worry about the cotton loan, that farmers would get twelve cents for their cotton.
 Whether Roosevelt said that the 12-cent cotton loan would be continued or merely that farmers would get twelve cents per pound on their crop Is now a matter of grave dc. bate and misunderstood nding.
 At any rate, the senators say they understood the former, and on the strength of this Cotton Ed" chairman of the senate ag- ricultural committee, forgot his aversion to the AAA and pushed the AAAmendments; while oth. CT senators tipped off their cot ton and textile friends that the Recent loan would continue. AAA Opposition
 About this time, however, Henry Wallace and Chester Davis. AAAdministrator, stepped intn fhe pirtiira
 They objected strenuously to continuation of the Recent loan. registered two main arguments to support their objections:
 1. By 193G, the accumula-
 ton of cotton stocks in gov
 ernment hands would be great
 enough to break the market,
 h rting both farmers and mill
 owners In the long run.
 2. Other sections of the
 country, claiming cotton was
 favored, would demand price
 guarantees for wheat, corn,
 tobacco, potatoes and so on.
 So Roosevelt told Davis and Wallace to cook up some plan which would ward off these catastrophes, yet save hls facc in regard to promises made to southern senators.
 . Thereupon Oscar Johnston, head of the governments cotton pool, concocted the -cent loan plus a subsidy to farmers based upon the average four-month cotton price from September l to January 1. This would net the farmer about three cents addi. tional - or total of twelve cents.

They're still talking about pulling the farmer out of the mud" up here in Con- necticut. We thought when the Legisla- ture gave every town in the state a S17,5O0 annual grant it was supposed to do this trick. But evidently those sums haven't been coming long enough to take care of all the mud in all the townships of the state. For. farmers in some of our rural sections went for WPA offers in big way Four counties-Hartford, Holland, Litchfeld, and Windham over- subscribed their quotas to the funds. Seventy-two towns asked $4,124 ,14S.H for rural road improvement. Sutherland Beckwth, acting director, said this was a wonderful reception" We'll say it is. It's well nigh perfect. Still if Uncle Sam wants the farfn-to-market routes im- proved, this is the way to do it.

 The United States was represent ed by "Comrades' William 2. Foster, Eari Browder, and Sam Darcy. During the sessions con- iderable oratory was turned loose on the subject of revolution in this country. The boys from over hero reported that the outlook was pretty good and "Comrade" Browder prophesied that this Fall a series of labor outbreaks starting on the Pacific Coast would shake the government to its foundations. This bright bit of information was greeted with enthusiastic cheers by the dele- gates assembled, particularly those from Patagonia, Lapland, Nova Zembla, and way stations. Whereupon "Comrade" Browder is reported to have explained in detail the plan of campaign by which the. peasants and workers of the United States would seize the reins of government.

Always the Same

It has been, and still remains, a characteristic of the Soviet gov ernment to hold In contempt world opinion. The Communist now riding in the drivers seat in Russia is a queer mixture of sub. servience and snobbery. One minute he Is eager to convince the world that he Is not the bar. barian pictured and the next in- stant he thumbs his nose at the same world which has accepted him into the family of nations. Anxious to win the good will of other governments the U. s. &. R. is completely contemptuous of that good will when 1t has been given. The cynical indifference with which Ambassador Bullitt's protest has been answered should convince easily fooled Americans that anyone who sits down to eat out of the same dish with the Communist government of Rus- sia should provide himself with . very long spoon. E.
 Tho latest example of contempt for the intelligence of other na- tions is to be found in the Soviets reply to Mir. Bullitt. It has noth- ing to do with the Third Interna- tional, assumes no responsibility for that organizations actions, and does not wish to be told that it has. That alibi has been ex- posed long ago. Its revival now is funny. remember an inter- view some years back with Georges Tchicherin who was then the Bolshevik minister for Foreign Affairs. During the con- versation something was said about the settlement, through a neutral arbitrator, of the Rus sian-American debt situation. Mir. Tchicherin protested that there was no one who could be considered as neutral where the U. s. S. R. was concerned.
 "Of course" he admitted with complete seriousness, elf the Third International were to be the neutral selected we would not have the slightest objection" He knew, as every really in- formed person knows, that the Union of Soviet Socialist Repub- lies and the Third International, are identical in everything but name. The Third International Is the holding company and the U. s. s. R. the operating one.
