Tavern Owners Vote
 ToReconsider Action
Meeting in New Haven Next Tuesday to Decide Future
 Status of Edward J. Ryan, Legislative Agent

A special meeting of delegates from each local branch of the Connecticut Tavern Owners asso. citation will be held in New Haven next Tuesday afternoon to decide the status of Edward J. Ryan of Thomaston, who was dismissed as legislative agent and secretary by the executive board of the body at Middletown more than two weeks ago.
 Ryan has been endeavoring to secure the aid of the various To- calls of the state association in an effort to have himself restored to his former post. James Sellas Of Norwich, president of the associa- ton, has agreed to the plan where by two delegates from each local will meet in New Haven next Tues day and vote to support the execu- tive committees dismissal of Ryan or to restore him to is previous position.
 Ryan, who is also known ass F.. Jackson Ryan, was instrumental in ,, forming the Connecticut Tavern Owners association. the group combating the Retail Beer, Wine and Liquor Merchants association of Connecticut, Inc, with which practically all local taverns arc etill affiliated. As secretary and as lobbyist, Ryan brought forth Il platform calling for tayerns to have the sale of liquor by the drink, the same rights as any other types of permit holders, exclusive sale of draught beer.
 Members of the original tavern mems groups, the Merchants or- ganization, attacked Ryan's plat form bitterly, claiming that it made impossible demands, but Ryan had the support of the Connecticut Tavern owners association unti! two weeks ago, when he was dis missed after a meeting of the exe- cutive board.

He also administers the federal funds available for use in Connecticut to reimburse owners of cows that are removed because of this infec- ti:n. The State Department of Health investigates all cases of dn- dulant fever which are reported to it. If the information obtained by such investigation points to raw milk supply as the only source of infection for the patient, the mat ter is brought to the attention of the dairy and food commissioner. As a result of this activity num- Der of dairymen have removed in- fected COWS from their herds, or have arranged for pastcurization of their milk. Additional information concerning the check of infection in cattle may be obtained from the commissioner on domestic animals, the bulletin stated.

Significance of Army Day.

Army day, which was observed yes
terday, has a significance which the
average citizen senses and feels, but
may not completely understand. 1t
brings to the public an opportunity to
witness q parade of personnel and
equipment; it reminds the public Of
the existence of the military establish
ment, demonstrates the efficiency of
the armed forces and teStifieS for the
pragmatic value of the investment
which the Nation makes in its organ
lied protection against enemies with
out and within. But it Is its aspect
of living history that most notably
moves the soul of citizen spectator.
Granted that it may be fashionable
at present to deplore the predominance
of chronicles of war in the annals of
America, it nevertheless happens to
be true that the United States came
into being through processes of strug-
gle and repeatedly has had need to
defend its fate against powers which
have presumed to imagine that the
Republic had forgotten the facts Of
its origin. Small chance would de-
mocracy have had in the Western
World had it not been for the army
created by George Washington. and
the Union could not have survived had
it not been for the armies led by Grant
and Sherman. A nation unwilling or
unable to fight for its life is doomed
to extinction.
But the same punishment also Is
the destiny Of any nation in modern
times which vainly attempts mill
tary subjugation of its neighbors. The
age of conquest is dead. and no one
would have the hardihood to argue
for its resurrection. Millions Of men
and women have developed within
themselves a will to peace. War for
its own sake or for spoils has been
condemned by humanity at large.
Somehow and soon there will be dis
covered an international insurance
policy equal to the need to restrain
any leader who seeks to emulate the
former Kaiser.
Meanwhile. the United States has
an occasional Army day to prove its
self-respect, its patriotism and its in
tention to preserve the human ideals
upon which it was founded and has
prospered.

Differences Between Subordinate
New Dealers Causing Bewilderment

| have about reached an impasse. and
the officials of the one organization
are rather angry with the officials Of
the other.
| Donald Richberg. chief aide to Mr..
Roosevelt, was given the job Of trying
to coordinate both the nationalists
and the internationalists and the crop
! producers and the factory goods re-
ducers. He now has ended up lead
| ing the factory goods reducers. as
| chairman of the National Industrial
Recovery Board.
| Mr.. Wallace, who, with Chester c.
Davis, runs the crop reducers. has said
/ that the whole idea of recovery by
making things scarce and hard to
obtain is repulsive to him. But he
doesn't see what else there is for
farmers to do when city industry is
engaged in that program.
The result Is that with q scarcity OF
farm products, caused by a combina-
ton of A. A. A policies and the
! drought, city workers are having to
use more of their wages to buy food.
That leaves less available for gasoline
and automobiles and radios and other
products. At the same time. with N.
r. A. seeking to make products of in
dustry scarce and harder to obtain,
the farmer finds that while he has
more income from his higher prices,
that income does not go much farther
than the smaller income went before.
So, basically. the farmer and the
city man are trying to get prosperity
by taking in each others washing.
Still another source of discord lies
in the gigantic New Deal spending
program.
Both Harold Ickes, Secretary of the
Interior, and Harry Hopkins. admin
istrator Of relief. have wanted to spend
the $4,880, 100000 that Congress is
making available for unemployment
relief.
Mr.. 1ckes. who has been handling
$4,000 900 900 of public works money.
would seem to be in line for spending
the other billions. But he has q
reputation for watching nickels and
for leaning over backward to prevent
graft. This means slower spending
and Capitalization of authority in
Washington.
Mr.. Hopkins actually has spent more
billions than Mr.. Ickes and has done
1t in rapid-flre fashion. Under c.
w. A. he got out a billion dollars in
five months and at one time was
spending at the rate of about five bill
lions year. He believes in decentral-
ization. in delegation of authority and
shutting down quickly If waste and
graft develop.
The idea of spending new billions is
to get them into circulation in hurry,
SO Mr.. Hopkins is to have more to do
with the spending than Mr.. Ickes. In
fact, Mr.. Ickes has felt himself rather
out In the cold and there even have
been hints that he was thinking of
resigning from the cabinet. He con-
sidered that his spending ability was
being questioned by the partiality that
Mr.. Roosevelt showed to Mr.. Hopkins.
Each one Of these personal affrays Is
settled by the President in a way to
make each contestant feel happy. But
as Senators now are saying: The basic
problems that these differences Of
opinion reveal are going unsolved and
unanswered, with the result that the
country is uncertain where it Is
headed.

SELF.PRESERVATION
JAMES FREEMAN D. d, Ii. D., D. c. L..
Bishop Of Washington

An incident occurred in the early
ministry OF Jesus that, however we
may interpret it, has a deep signifi-
cance. We read in the fourth chap
ter of st. Matthews Gospel that, i'm
mediately following His baptism and
preceding His entrance upon His larg-
er ministry, He was lied up of the
spirit into the wilderness to be tempt
ed" The purpose OF this long-con-
tinued vigil was In the nature OF
preparation for the great task that
presently He was to undertake.
The practice of long periods of de-
tachment for the purposes Of unin-
terrupted reflection has been COM
mon to many men who have assumed
the role of leadership. 1t Is In the
silences and away from the distrac-
tions of the world that genius Is
famed into flame and the clearly
defined purpose Of great mission
becomes evident.
In the experience of the Master we
read that when He had tasted forty
days and forty nights, He was after
ward an hungred." Physically de-
pleted, the most immediate avenue Of
approach to Him was through His un-
satisfied appetite. hence it was that
the tempter touched Him where He
was most vulnerable, saying. If thou
be the son Of God command that
these stones be made bread" 1t was
an appeal to Him to exercise His
miraculous power in behalf Of His
own obvious needs. This power He
doubtless had, for on another occa-
sion, to meet the hunger Of multi
tude, He multiplied few barley
loaves, making them sufficient to feed
5000. In answer to the tempter's
demand, He quoted from the ancient
scriptures the words: Man shall not
live by bread alone. but by every word
that proceedeth out Of the mouth Of
God
The whole condition with which
Jesus was confronted is suggestive OF
one of life's major problems. Self
preservation the maintenance of our
physical well-being Is primary and
indispensable. The bread problem is
universal and persistent. A bread

Austria's Rearmament.

eA@-N~
1t was almost a foregone conclusion
that Germany's example in rearming,
once it became an openly avowed
policy. would prove contagious among
the other states subjected to military
restrictions by World War peace
treaties. Austria has promptly fol-
lowed the German lead. She proposes
10 double the limit of thirty thousand
men imposed upon her as maximum
oy the treaty of ST. German.
A terse communique issued at Vienna
revealing the governments plans
states that steps to that end have al
ready been undertaken. They are
justified, as in the case of Germany
by the right to full equality as q
"self-evident" proposition. Whether
the Austrians intend to resort to con-
scrlption, on the basis reinStituted In
Germany. has not yet been disclosed
While increasing the army to a re-
ported strength of sixty thousand, the
government is expected to eliminate
by degrees the existing private armies,
such as the White Fascist Heimwehr
(Home Guard) and the Catholic
Storm Troops. These forces are the
counterpart of Hitler's Storm Troops
md other Nazi military organizations
which are to disappear with creation
of the Reich's new national army OF
five or six hundred thousand con-
script troops.
Rome dispatches intimate that Italy
would frown upon any unilateral ac-
lion by Austria in the direction OF
rearmament, although Mussolini was
recently reported to favor increases
in the military establishment of Aus
tria. Hungary and Bulgaria on a scale
pre- portionate to that proposed by
Germany. 1t was even said that Italy
intended to place such a suggestion
before next weeks tri-power confer
ence at Stresa. While Austria In 1915
was being assigned an army quota OF
thirty thousand, Hungary was granted
force of thirty-five thousand anc
Bulgaria Of twenty thousand. AS long
ago as last October, when the German
Nazis were brazenly threatening Aus
tria, Italy, France and Great Britain
agreed to permit her TO recruit beyond
treaty strength to safeguard her indie
pendence.
Premier Schuschnigg evidently does
not intend to wait upon the allied
powers, cap in hand. and crave the
privilege of rearming, despite treaty
limitation He proposes instead tc
proceed on the Hitler pattern. Aus.
tria has ample justification for pro.

fresh proof that the cause of disarma
ment in Europe has fallen into sad
disarray.

Indian Princes Condemn
British Government Bill
BY A. G. GARDINER.

LONDON, April 6. - Winston
Churchill's triumphant claim that the
Indian princes had killed the govern
ment Of India bill has been pretty
effectively disposed of by the pub
lication of the correspondence be-
tween the India Office and the princes
This does not mean that the position
is without anxiety. But 1t does mean
that Mr.. Churchill's shout of victory
Is not merely premature but totally
unrelated to the facts.
1t must be admitted, of course, that
If Mr. Churchill's "momentous news
were true, the government scheme
would have the bottom knocked out
of it. The support of the Indian
princes is the keystone of the whole
arch. Take that support away and
the federal plan collapses.
1t was the dramatic decision Of the
princes at the London conference to
throw in their lot with British India
for an all-India federal system that
made the India bill q practical pos
sibility. Up to that time the solu-
ton Of the Simon Commission, which
conceded provincial autonomy in
British India, seemed the utmost limit
attainable. Federation of British
India without the collaboration of
the hundreds of principalities scat
tered over the country offered diff
culties so great as to be insuperable.
Those difficulties magically dis
appeared on that memorable morn
ing in London when the Indian
princes took the plunge. They had
not been expected to take 1t. certainly
not with such boldness and practical
unanimity.A The fact that they took

of them Is to expect from the exclu-
sively legislating Congress fair and
unprejudiced study Of the facts on
which legislation is based. And
coupled with this right is the right to
expect that when legislators give Con-
gress facts upon which to base its ac-
tions and opinions, the facts will be
correctly stated and not garbled by
inaccuracies or prejudiced interpreta-
ton.

Professional base ball was not as
highly organized SO years ago as 1t
Is today and has
DdSe Dali rs been for q good
p;p pusinsss many years past,
but attendance on
the games was nevertheless heavy
for those tinIs. The Star of April

Some crank has figured up that
base ball will cost the country sl6,-
900, 900 this season. This statement
shows how silly man can be and yet
be allowed to run at large. Very pos
sibly enough people will pay their
quarter or half-dollars during the
Summer at the entrances Of base ball

5000 600. but if so the money is not
lost in any sense of the term. The
people simply change the coins from

Star of April 6, 1885. says:
The White House Grounds, Just
south of the Executive Mansion, pre-
sented an animated scene from early
this morning till late in the after
noon. The little children gathered
there in large forces to indulge in the
annual custom of Easter egg-rolling.
At noon it was estimated that over
a thousand little ones had full pos

Notwithstanding the backward Spring.

covered with a carpet OF velvety green

careful watch over their charges.
Many brought their lunches with
them and enjoyed them under the
spreading trees at noon while taking
rest from the days sports. The
participants in the egg-rolling sports
were Of all ages. Well-grown school
girls seemed to enjoy the sport as
much as any one, while the American

1t not only made the scheme prac-
ticable, but left the die-hards with
out a sound leg to stand on.
Mr. Churchill and his colleagues Of
the so-called India Defense League
were reduced to sheer panic -monger-
ing. The government was scuttling
from India. 1t was betraying q great
trust. 1t was stripping the empire of
its most precious possession. 1t was
impoverishing Lancashire. 1t was
handing the unfortunate people Of
India over to red ruin and the break
ing up Of laws
All this fell nat in the country, and
meanwhile the India bill in Parlia-
ment went forward with the over
whelming backing of all parties, even
Of the Conservative party, which. hav-
ing to choose between the persuasions
of Stanley Baldwin and Mr.. Churchill.
had no hesitation in supporting the
former.
Then came the resolution Of the
princes at the Bombay conference in
condemnation Of the bill, and the
fate Of the scheme seemed in the bal
ance. The Churchill faction hailed
the resolution as the death-knell of
the bill. their chief backer in the
press the egregious Lord Rothermere,
sent a message Of congratulations
to the princes, and even the sup
porters of the government took alarm.
For moment the project seemed tot
tering, and in political circles the
resignation Of Sir Samuel Hoare, the
Indian secretary. was thought to be
probable.
do not suggest that the publica-
ton of the correspondence removes
all ground for disquiet, but it GER
tainly disposes Of any reason for
alarm. 1t shows clearly that the
princes have not abandoned feder-
alton" In their covering note the
signatory princes state, "it is not in
our opinion beyond the sphere of
craftsmanship to adjust our differ
ences In such q manner as would lead
to q satisfactory and desired result"
The amendments they suggest are
not fundamental. still less are they
"wrecking" amendments.
X X
That Is the case in regard to the
exercise of the paramountcy OF the
crown. There has long been a desire
on the part Of some of the princes
to get a relaxation Of British au-
thority in their own interests, and
they are not unnaturally anxious,
when so much Is In the melting pot,
to press their claims on this account.
But this Is q matter for discussion
between the government and the
princes themselves and is altogether
outside the scope Of the bill.
It Is not suggested that any prin-
ciple in the bill Is contrary to the
agreements reached ut the round
table conference, and so far as the
details Of craftsmanship are con-
cerned there should be no difficulty.
The princes now agree to discussions
between their legal representatives
and the parliamentary craftsmen in
London, and there can be no doubt
that the purely technical obstacles
to acceptance Of the bill will be re-
moved.
All this goes to show that Mr..
Churchills ecstacies are premature
and excessive. But it would be idle
to deny that the incident has given
the government and the friends Of
the bill nasty jar.

luton and in some form it has been
the genesis Of most of the worlds
disorders. As a matter Of fact, it is
one of the fundamental problems Of
our own age To preserve the physi-
cal well-being Of people is primary
obligation upon every government.
Jesus did not challenge this. He did
maintain that greater than the bread
problem was the normal satisfaction
of mans moral and spiritual nature.
To insure subsistence, this He always
recognized and gave it its proper place
throughout His ministry. Over against
this physical demand he set another
principle of life when He said: Seek
We first the kingdom of God and His
righteousness, and all these things
shall be added unto you" He was
maintaining that normal, wholesome
living called for and demanded the
recognition of Gods place in the
scheme of things, the recognition OF
the moral law as indispensable to
orderly, decent and satisfying living.
To move humanity to q cleaner
style" is both consistent and neces-
sary, but if the cleaner style" Is to
be properly maintained it must be
sustained by something other than
that form of selfish individualism
that obeys neither the laws Of God
or of man. At the root of our pres
ent disordered life is the moral and
spiritual decline and decay Of a peo-
pie. We have thought that, with our
mighty wisdom or little wit" we
could set our house in order. We
would, through our Incompatible
genius and our clever legislation, re-
cover the normal. prosperous ways OF
living We are beginning to realize
the significance and profound mean
ing of the words of the tempted Mas
ter that Man shall not live by bread
alone, but by every word that pro-
ceededth out of the mouth of God"
We have bread problem, and 1t Is a
pressing one, and it must be met. but
along with it and citally related to
it we have a moral and spiritual
problem that concerns the deepest
interests Of our people.
