we defend the priest against that foul m onster known by the name of Cromwell and I might remind you that there is enough of us left still to take care of you and your pro-British satellites. How dare you use the foul expressions towards a priest of sacred calling with q phrase by the way humor- ous when you broadcast to the country that the Rev. Father stole the livery from the court of Heav- en to cover his devilish work on earth? When you resolve to such vile methods, 1t Is. very easy to un- derstand the kind of monster you are. but it is hard to blame a de- prayed character. like you that doesn't get enough sleep. Since Hit Ter defied the British empire suppose His Majesty will take the jitters. It's too bad that. you and your ilk did not get this country into the World Court to keep the limp red flag flying over that pirate nation that butchered the priest on the altar steps, laid waste their monasteries, and seats of learning and pillaged and de- stroyed all that came in their way that was not strong enough to defend themselves. Sir John St. mon and Captain Anthony Eden are seeking peace by the way tering. The curse of the widow and the orphan will bring around their destruction. might re- mind the genial general that as q member of the N. U. s.

Carnegie endowment funds did not succeed in getting us into the World Court, although there was bribery and corruption at work. We thank the noble senators that defeated the bill. Well, general. will bid you goodbye. You are q dead issue. Why be wasting my time and racking my brain to find suitabl phrases to condemn you and your abilities. You arc already con- demned by over s00,ooo people.

The first hat seems to be in the ring for the 1886 election in Connecticut. Re- publican friends of Senator John F. Lynch of West Haven at a dinner in his honor recently deposited the popular legislators hat right where everybody can see and admire it in the months prior to the non- nations, over seventeen months away at this writing. Senator J. Kenneth Bradley of Westport termed Senator Lynch "the most important cog in the Senate Republi- can machinery :" All of which would indicate that the g.o.p. in Connecticut is going to start early and often in it's quest for the formula to defeat the democratic control of state government which began in 1880 with the first successful candidacy of Wilbur l.. Cross. With one hat right up there in the ring, we can expect dozens more of varied sizes, shapes, and colors in the next seventeen months.

Since then cer- tain valued town papers have been miss ing and Berlin now believes they repose in New Britain's parent official archives So as to make the tercentenary complete success Berlin wants not the "chee-ild" back, but just the papers.

 Editor, the Democrat:
 The national executive commit tee of the American Legion went into a huddle at Indianapolis and decided to buck the Patman Bill to pay off the adjusted service certificates. The Patman Bill re- gently passed in the House by an overwhelming majority. The Bill is now pending in the Senate. Af- ter the record vote in the House Commander Belgrano shook hands with Congressman Patman and de- clared the Legion would back the Patman Bill in the Senate.
 Belgrano has two-timed the rank and file of. the Legion ever since he took office. The resolu- tion adopted at the Legion con- vention in Miami definitely called for payment of the certificates without cfeaking an additional debt to the taxpayers. After the convention Belgrano went to Cuba and nothing more was heard from

stamped self-addreSsed envelope. him until he bobbed up in, Wash ington with the Belgrano Bankers Bonus Bill which is the so-called Vinson Bill. Belgrano disregarded the mandate of the Miami conven- tion.
 The Beigrano-Vinson bill if passed means an additional debt will be created in the amount of billion dollars. Congress turn ed BeIgrano's bill down. Not sat isfial and unwilling to play ball BeisPano is now preparing to buck the Patman bill which is now pending in the Senate. Belgrano again goes back on his word. How can. the Legion ever build up its membership to full potential strength when leaders like Bell grano keeping selling them out? What right have the bankers to claim q bonus on the soldiers bon- us? Who gave Belgrano the right to put in Bankers Bonus Bill? The bankers are already drawing down $20O, 100000 a year interest from the war bonds. Belgrano is trying to give at least another $60,0OO.- 900 a year as interest on a bond issue to pay the soldiers.
 The Legion executive commit tee is not interested in the tax payer nor the veteran for that matter. Belgrano has them duped or bought. These dupes or graft; CTS talk about the inflationarS chara cter of the Patman Bill. Do they think they are kidding the public? Anyone knows that billion dollars under Belgrano's plan, is twice the ? billion dollars under the Patman plan. If Pat mans bill is imitation then Bel grano's bill is approximation.
 If the veterans get their pay un- der the Belgrano bill they will sad. de their children and other peo- ple's children with billion dol- lar interest charge. What nice es- tate to leave to future generations. Legionnaires should make Bell grano adhere to the mandate passed at the Miami convention or else request his resignation. The Legion delegates asked for sol- diers' bonus without increasing the debt of the United States. Now they come out with a statement that they want the bonus but it is up to the government to finance 1t.
 Patman has a plan for the gov- ernment to finance the payment without increasing the government debt. Belgrano has a plan to have the bankers finance the payment Gle hides behind that by leaving it up to the government) So why buck the Patman bill? Every one knows that Belgrano's bill would require bond issue. He knows that the. veterans are in dire need of the money 50 he is going to get his bill or if not the veteran can hold the bag. What a shylock. And then the bankers can't under stand why the populace Ia givinE them such ribbing.

FINAL TRIUMPH

Now, after two years of re- peated rebuffs, he has triumph ed to the extent of having the House committee write 1t into the new farm bill.
 NOminally the amendment us written Is only permissfve.
 But another section of the bill requires the Government to use 30 per cent of the annual cus- toms collections--approximately $1O0, ,000, ,000--- to finance foreign dumping of farm products.
 It also empowers the Secre. tary of Agriculture to use all funds obtained from processing taxcs-$8OO, ,OOO, 900 in 1934--fOr a like purpose.
 In practice these last two pro- visions will mean only one thing complete nullification of the permissive feature. For no Ad- ministration could withstand the tremendous political pressure to ladle out this $9O0,000,000 pork barrel.

Washington, April 4 Both the Army and Navy have been conducting vigorous undercover foreign espionage in this country The Army has been particularly careful along the Panama Canal. Almost it's whole route is guard ed as in wartime.
 But the other day q Japanese naval captain was discovered serving as mess boy on the Army transport ChaumOnt which re- gularIy traverses the canal. He had passed as a Filipino.
 And for six months he had served food to officers, work ed under the very nose of the War Department.
 NOTE-The United States has no redress against spies of this kind, since the Espionage Act comes into force only with the declaration of war. The Japanese naval captain was deported.
 AGRICULTURAL PORK
 George Peek may be down but he is not out.
 The burly Foreign Trade Ad- visor to the President has just put over smashing coup in the House Agriculture Committee at the expense of Secretary Wallace and the generalissimos of the AAA. which Peek once com manded.
 Calmly disregarding the Pres ident's injunction that all Ad- ministration legislative proposals must obtain the approval of As sistant President" Donald Rich berg, Peek went directly to the House Committee. He got 1t to incorporate far-reaching changes in the new farm bill.
 These amendments if enacted into law will shift the whole axis of the Triple A.
 From a policy of crop control, its program would be shifted to one of unlimited production and subsidized exports-or, as 1t is better known, governbent-fin- anced foreign dumping.
 This agriculture relief formula, agitated, for more than q de- cade in the guise of the McNary Haugen equalization fee bill, is the All-in-All to professional farm leaders. Peek Is one of their leaders.

 They prevented it's incorpora- ton in the Triple A act in 1893; and when Peek as head of the AAA tried to put the idea into operation, he was forced to re- sign.

ASBURY SMITH

! To-day marks Il double anniversary
for Asbury Smith. He is 7S today,
and this is his fiftieth year in the
business which he founded half a
century ago. He is to he dOubly
congratulated for the useful civic
and business life he has led and for
the sturdy and cOntented age he has
attained.
A large part of Mr.. Smiths life
has been devoted to public service.
He was a member of the last Legis-
lature, elected under the old con-
stitutiOn and served from 1896 to
1898. and he remembers well that
there were but twelve clerks for
the whole legislative body and that
one attorney was shared between
the two houses. For twenty-five
years he was member of the Mil
ford Light and Water Board and de-
clined another nomination for five
year term. He has served two years
in the City Conncil and has been on
the Board of Directors of the Mil
ford Trust Company for thirty years.
With all these varied civic and
business duties he has found time
to serve his church and has been
for thirty-flve years member of
The Official Board. of the Methodist
Episcopal Church.
A life so fully and richly lived as
his Is not without an object lesson
that is but too modern, when we are
)nly beginning to realize the injury
lone to the nation by the merged
md OvergrOwn chains and corpora
ions that have enjoyed a pernicious
mushroom growth since the turn of
he century. Here is a man who has
worked hard, but with zest, who has
successfully founded and enjoyed a
mall business in which he has
Inown what it is to provide both
lead and hands. His is the hardy
type of Americanism that
We must take care to preserve. To-
lay he must surely feel that courage
md a code of honesty are not with

DELAGATES FROM EXTENSION
CLUBS LEARN ABOUT VALUE OF
VEGETABLES IN THE DIET

Delegates were sent by 20 extern
sion clubs to the two training clas-
ses held last week by Miss Pearl
Macdonald of Newark. These meet
1ngs were on Wednesday, March 81
at Oak Grove Community Building
and Friday, March 29, at Houston
Community Building.
The value of vegetables in the
diet was stressed and various meth
DDS of cooking discussed. Miss Mac
s0onald- recommended using three
vegetables a day if possible, pOta-
toes being one of the three, and one
leafy green, if possible. She said
gardens this spring should be plan
ted with these figures in mind so
that the family cah be well supplied
with the fresh vegetables during the
season as well as a surplus to can.
Charts for helping to estimate the
family's canned needs, both fruits
and vegetables, were given out and
explained. To fill the requirements
of two vegetables (Other than pOta-
to) and two fruits each day, each
homemaker should plan a canning
budget of 40 quarts of vegetables
and 28 of fruits for each member of
her family. This amount will ade-
quately carry her through the win
ter months and assure well balanc-
ed meals for her family. To prove
her point that vegetables make an
attractive meal as well as nutriti-
