WASHINGTON, Jan. 90. (UP)
Republican strategists failed yes
terday to open to the public ap-
preparations committee hearings
on the $4,88O,OO0,000 works re-
lief bill and congress kept rolling
along pretty much as the admin
istration intended.
While it prepared for vote on
the world court, studied the Sc
curity program further, fought
over the bonus and restored the
last five per cent of the pay cut,
President Roosevelt spent the day
getting some more legislation
ready for it.
Thursday he will send congress
message on aviation the first of
a series of four on transportation
problems. The others will cover
water transport, highways and
railroads. Mr.. Roosevelt's recon-
mendatlons on these SUBJECTS Will
be contingent on proposed en-
largement of the Interstate Com
merce commission to have juris-
diction over all of them. The avia-
ton message is expected to pro-
pose temporary regulation of air
traffic until the enlarged ICC can
take it over.
The President authorized the
Home Owners Loan corporation to
present to congressional commit
tees estimates for whatever addi-
tional funds it needs to carry out
it's program. The original $4,000
100000 has been spent, and al

Vow Against Fighting

The recent effervescence of college lads in connection with the question of war and peace is one of the most saddening demon strations of recent years. For one thing, it is living testimonial to the ghastly waste of the last war.
 The young collegians who went out to speak and parade against war had an object lesson before their eyes. You don't need to have college education to discover that whatever it was that we got out of our participation in the last war wasn't worth anywhere near what we put into it. With 1917 as sample, is it any wonder that the youngsters decided that war costs more than it is worth?
 But that is only part of it. All these pledges, these spirited resolutions, these high-hearted VOWS to have no part in any new conflict what will they amount to- in sober reality, when the drums begin to beat again? Are not these young people in college deluding themselves in the old, tragic manner of ardent youth everywhere?
 For when war comes we may be assured that the conditions of 1917 will be re- peated. Once we get into it, no individuals private viewpoint will be of any account. Some of these lads will be swept off their feet by the waving flags and the brass bands, and will undergo a sudden, militant conversion. Others will be overwhelmed by the pressure of public opinion. A hand full may remember their participation pledge, and stick to it; and they will be carted off to some prison or other, very quietly, and no one will know the differ ence.
 Their fine enthusiasm for waress world, in short, will be quite wasted; and it will be wasted because their opposition to war is taking form which cannot succeed. When war comes in this modern world, no man can simply say, q will have no part in this" He will have part in it whether he plans to or not, even if it is only the sad and hopeless part of an i'm prisoned conscientious objector.
 War does not arise from pure human cussedness. It comes from the fact that the programs which nations follow clash in a way that makes settlement by force seem the simplest way out. If youth is to lead us to universal peace, it's cue is not to announce its unwillingness to fight, but 70 work for revaluation of national aims and a new, more enlightened way of settf- ing national disputes, which will remove vars causes. An anti-war program built along those lines would have some chance nf success

Looks Like A Postmaster At Last

Two years and one month after PreSl- dent Franklin D. Roosevelt went into of- flee, Waterbury's postmastership seems to be settled. Acting Postmaster James Kel- ley will be replaced by Charles A. Babin hs soon as the senate confirms the presi- dential nomination. It was sent in to the senate last Friday. Even at this writing it may be confirmed, but at any rate will be shortly if not now. And thus ends a long drawn-out and bitter episode in Wa terbury politics.
 Ends, you say? Well this episode is ended The story, of course, is not. There will be repercussions. There can't help but be. It is too bad that the participants will suffer more than those who wrote the story. Forewarning anyone, however, doesn't lessen the sting of defeat There have been advanced of recent weeks many sound reasons why political organization must depend upon patronage for it's sur vival. To the victor belongs the spells is tried and true political axiom
 Unfortunately public opinion has been developed of late years to different under standing of government, its administration and its relation to the average man. Per- haps we shouldn't say unfortunately for this development has been to the mutual benefit of all of us We have clearer per ception of the duties of the elective and the appontve official. We have formed the happy faculty of voting as we think, not as others think for us. Blind voting is something that only a few indulge in any more.
 We hesitate to predict what the outcome of the postmaster squaDble will be. We do know that the blame, which is really misnomer, will be placed upon the demo- cratic party of Waterbury. Whether one will suffer more than another remains to be seen. Perhaps it is best to draw the veil of charity over the participants in the contest, Messrs Kelley and Babin. We know full well, though, that Waterbury will not be so ckaritably inclined towards those behind the scenes in this bit of political drama.

WORLD WAR VETERANS TAKES US FOR A
 FINANCIAL RIDE

Waterbury, Conn.
 April 20, 1885. Editor, Waterbury, Democrat:
 Thank you for printing in yoar editorial columns the suggestion by World War Veteran, "The holders of war bonds have col. lected more than $7,00O,000,000 c billion) in interest om the government since the World War"
 However, you saw fit to add your own comment by stating "Wonder what the state of the na- tion would have been had this amount of interest never been co,- lected and never spent in the good old U. s. A."
 The editorial suggestion of World War Veteran was intended to off, set your previous syndicated edi- torial You wouldn't suspect from some of the bonus talk that the government has spent $16,000,0 0,000,- 900 GIG billion) on veterans re- lief" You did not offer any com ment on this syndicated item. Apparently you are not aware of the sublety behind the syndicated item, which is an attempt on the part of smart money, to mislead people into believing that 16 bil- lion dollars has already been spent on World War Veterans who now want a bonus. The 16 billion re- ferred to covers the total amount expended by the government on veterans of all the wars of the United States since the War of the Revolution. ' Now to comment on your state ment. The United States loaned European countries Il billion dol lars. They are not even paying the interest. The interest Is being paid | by the American people through taxation. Up to date this interest has amounted to more than z bill lion dollars.
 If you feel that America should loan money to foreign countries and the American people should pay the interest, then, you have fallen into the trap laid out fol you by the money crowd who ar' successful in circulating propagan da in theS form of syndicated edi torial items.
 If you could go to a bank ant get a loan and make somebod, else pay the interest-you will hay, developed brand of financing equal to the genious of European statesmen. You wonder what thu state of the nation would be. Yol answer it? I can't.

REPUBLICAN AMERICAN TAKES BAT AND BALL HOME, SINCE TT
 CAN'T BAT
Editor, Waterbury Democrat:

Editor. Waterbury Democrat:
 Member the kid who always wanted to be up to the bat anu who would threaten to take the bat and ball home with him if the gang didn't accede to his capricious fancy? Of course you do, for every sand lot and back alley had g Kid of this type.
 Well, the Republican-American combination is acting just like the kid of yesteryear. Because it wasn't allowed to run things at the expo sition. hero in conjunction with Connecticut's terccntenary 1t has as much as said, '"To hell with Wa terbury's history and Settlers Vil- lage.." What does the Republican, American care if local people might wish to find information concerning the local venture in the columns of their newspapers! | What does the combination care about boosting Waterbury (and | there is no denying that this Is golden opportunity to do sol, or helping worthy effort along! What does it care if Waterbury falls short of upholding its end of the statewide celebration? Profit seems to be the only word
 it understands. It won't cooperate because it entertains the belief that
 "Settlers' Village" is a profit-mak- ing venture. And it won't give space to boosting Waterbury's ex- position unless it receives some of | the profit itself. What price
 loyalty?
 Local people have too great Q medium in The Democrat to worry
 about the Republican-American The Democrat carries all the news that is news, while 1t is news, and
 isn't bellyaching all the time about
 this, that, and everything in gen.
 eral. And it isn't trying to take charge of, or else criticise, every thing that is worth while. The
 Democrat shows genuine patriotic spirit that endures under all con-
 ditions.
 The insipid editorial in Fridays American attempting in a polite
 way to belittle Settlers Village
 over in Chase park was pitiful and could be likened to the squawk oi
 a kid denied something that look
 ed good. The editorial hoped the
 houses wouldn't be painted so sug'
 gested "a soft gray" shingle stain
 because 1t might come the nearest
 to approximating the silvery patins by Nature to weathered wood"

tion on the editorial. in question cried out "Pioneers Built No Villas" intimating once again that the sponsors of the settlement might be trying to tell prospective visitors. Here is village in miniature of the one formed here by the pioneers"
 If the writer of that editorial had been reading The Democrat he would have learned just what is being done in Chase park. He would even have learned that the builders knew all about the size of the houses erected on The Green by the early settlers. He would also have learned that each major nationality in the city was to have q house in the settlement and that these houses will be duplicates Of those in their respective countries And If the editorial writer had closely inspected the columns of his own newspaper he would have come upon articles explaining the tentative plans for erecting the set clement. But these articles, written before the Republican-American went into it's pet peeve, have ap- parently lost their value as refer ence.
 It is quite likely that these news papers will now advocate free ad- mission to the exposition unless they cafr find it a money-making proposition themselves. I doubt If the public will be hoodwinked so easily as to believe any articles printed from now on in either o1 the Leavenworth street papers which condemn a small fee being charged to defray the expense of construction.
 I suppose, too, if the Republi. can-American, Inc, was running the exposition 1t would not be g money-making proposition, but something "colossal. stupendous and gigantic" and big front page articles would probably be offered the public pointing out the educa- tional value of attending it. Let these papers take their ba' and ball and go home, and sta, there. It's certainty they won | break up the old ball game. No while The Democrat is on thu l scene, anyway.

A City of Sorrow

Waterbury indeed has every reason for bending her head in sorrow today. This has been a sad time of the year for us. Usually we associate Easter with every thing joyful. The forty days of fast and penance are over. The gladsome season of the year is at hand. But last week, Tues day, we were saddened to hear of the death of one of the city's prominent businessmen, John Mulvile.
 Hardly had he been laid to rest when more tragedy broke in our midst. This time it was in full measure. Maurice Gull han, Joseph Neagle and Edward L. Roach were numbered among the city's we'll known citizens. Their sudden deaths, sudden for most of us, climaxed week in which we were hoping to know but peace and happiness. May we extend public con- dolences to the families of these deceased men. May we extend to them the sym pathy that is certainly theirs.
 All three departed men were prominent in various walks of life. Fraternally MT Culhane was bulwark of the local lodge of Elks; Attorney Neagle was an impor- tant cog in our City Court, acting as prose- cutor; Patrolman Roach was 8 member Ot the Police Department That their passing will be noted goes without saying. Over the weekend tribute was paid to them as so richly deserved. Waterbury indeed has fared poorly in the last few days at the hands of the Grim Reaper.
