Where Does It Come From?

According to all reports the only party with any power in the coming Legislature is to be the socialist. In view of the fact that it has only three members of the .thirty-five senators and just as few in the House, it is hard to understand just why democrats and republicans should accept the inevitable and allow the social ists to hold the balance of power. Not that we have any bone to pick with the new so- cialist legislators or with their real leader, Mayor Jasper McLevy of Bridgeport. { The socialists in the last few years have espoused many fine pieces of legislation, but no more so than have the democrats in the last half decade. As matter of strict accounting if you check up the measures, particularly those dealing with social legislation, you will find they are the same ones that democrats have been trying to have passed ever since Governor s Cross went into office. And that's four years ago. We see no reason why any un- usual activity should accompany the so- cialist climb into the sun on the back of such proposals as the democrats have sug- gested.
 And if you have watched the shift in political fortunes in Connecticut in recent years, you will know that even the repub- lican party today, by it's 1884 state plat form, is committed to great many siml- lar ideas The gubernatorial candidate ot the party, States Attorney Hugh M. AL corn, publicly spoke for them last fall. And they were quite the same as what the democrats were suggesting in the way Of governmental reforms. True, there were basic differences in the platforms of the respective candidates, but on many there vas agreement.
 S6 What? So now why. should there be any reason to give to the socialists control of the Senate by virtue of three votes. 1t would be very easy for the democrats and republicans to come to agreements without soliciting the aid of even one of these three votes. Why must we always think of democrats and republicans voting con- trary to each other, regardless of the issue. Perhaps if the major parties allowed the differences of last week to become Just memories and settled down to business, they could give Connecticut legislative session remarkable for it's accomplish ment. And there would be no need to give to any one party the whip hand. It would be an all around agreement. This habit, though, of allowing the socialists to feel they hold the destiny of the state a,ight in the hands of three men is just bit over emphasized.

comes to dampen them if anything. But it demands that the nation stand prepared for any and all eventualities. 1t assumes the attitude that the best way for the United States to keep out of war is to be prepared for it. We Swere not prepared foV war in 1917 when we entered Europe's bloody conflict. The first few months of our participation proved that.
 It wasn't until the war was over that this nation was really stripped for action. By that time thousands of our brave boys had been blown out of this life into another by the shells of hate; greed, and human disregard for human lives. To prevent just such another catastrophe as this Wa terbury veterans bring forward their creed, one produced by sleepless nights in vermin-infested trenches, by close contact with all the privations and hardships that bloody encounter produces, an adequate defense is the best weapon against war.
 Disciples of peace do not agree with this idea. They prefer to instill sound ideals and principles through teaching and ex- ample. The years since the World War have more than convinced the participants in that great struggle, the men who car ried the guns, that this theory cannot suc- ceed in world of selfish nations. If the time is not ripe for peace by arms limita- tion, navy scrapping etc, then we must have peace that is instilled by bristling arms, grey ships of the sea, huge air fleets, and plan whereby men, money, and in- dustry stand readyto be conscripted.

Such words as rejudice,.' and "narrowmindedness" should not be allowed to pass unchallenged unless the leader feels sure that they are used and understood with a full sense of their connotatfons. that is as objective descriptions of mental states and not simply as labels of biased antagonism. s;.

WRITER PROPOSES GENERAL
 STUDY OF CRIMlNOLOGY
editor, Waterbury Democrats: ::

The January 3 issue of the Wa terbury Democrat carried q state Dment given by the local police de- pertinent in regard to the arrests made during the last year, saying that they numbered 2.990 for vari- ous offenses. The following article. which I have written, may be of interest to the people of Water
 bury in relation to crime and the general topic of crlminOlogy.:
 important to discourage expression of moral judgments. The task of the group is to understand q sit-
 uation and to arrive at somes plan
 for dealing with 1t rather than to cussion of such subject. more par ticularly is Q danger that a group of respectable citizens will adopt an attitude of Woral indignation, with
 its cQncomitant of complacent dis- rega8d for its own failures in good citizenship. and thus greatly lessen
 it's ability to absorb new informa- ton to revise its own Judgments.
 In this connection there is always a leader. the leader will find 1t worth while to pay 8 little attention to the voca bulary used as well as to the sentiments expressed. Often a statement which may seem ob- lJectiveiy enough when viewed as q
 broad, generalization. nevertheless
 has a distinctly emotional overtone because Of the association of some l ofethe words used. Thus. the word "criminal." which according to the dictionary may simply mean per son convicted of crime. in the

attention to the difference between an exchange of opinions arrived ut through calm reflection and a bat tie of OratOrically effective slogans.
 Tn other ways, too. one of the qualifications of the good discussion leader Is sensitiveness to what might be called tone" as well as the content of the contributions made by the members. He may have to .remind the members that they. are in a debate in which points are to De scored. preparing examination of their factual knowl- edge of the subject. they are to be aware. rather, that they are en- gade in an important function of citizenship. that of the examining a great public and social issue and of expressing Judgment upon proposed policies that cannot fail to be in- fiuentia1.
 While no academic definitions of crime are called for, nevertheless, 1t will be well to make sure that 1t is Understood by all members in more*or less the same sense--that Is as a gross offense against the established law. This does not mean that related facts must be- ruled out | of the discussion. For example, the machinery created to deal with crime also deals with aminor of- lenses that are not crime and oc. casionally 1t deals with situotioni where not even a' minor de. linquency is in question. On the other hand, officially recognized crime is surrounded by q inuef larger area of vice.. nfhifeasaHct and other anti-socipl' bchaviei which con,plIcates and sometime. explains fl.

We'll Made, We'll Deserved

The appointment of Martin Tehan to the Board of Education to take the place of the late MartirP Scully will meet with general approval throughout the city. MT Tehan is a worthy successor to man who has played so conspicuous part in our clvlc life. He comes fromsa family whose name has been a familiar one for years. He comes to his new duties with sufficient knowledge of them to satisfy any and all demands.
 It was a fine thought on the part Of Mayor Frank Hayes to give the vacant post on the school board to the same sec tion of the city that the late Martin Scully represented. It was altogether fitting that the successor should be oddly enough affil- lated with the selfsame fraternal, re- ligious, and community groups to which MT Scully had given allegiance down through the years. That more than makes the appointment doubly worsh while.
 But in his own right MT Tehan is de- serving of the appointment He has been . member of the Board of Public Welfare since 1880 and has given steadfast and efficient service in the duties required Of him. In the industrial life of the, city he has also played some part, sufficient to earn him the respect and admiration of his employers from time to time. We feel sure that MT Tehan will more than live up to the confidence that has been placed in him in his new field.

7 Washington, Jan 16-There is an unhealthy smell. about the ac-, tion of the house appropriations subcommittee in gutting the appropriation of the securities exchange copmission.
 It has all the earmarks of cov- ert sabotage.
 The committee cut the inde- pendent offices appropriation bill by a total of $700,08O under. the amount recommended by the budget bureau. Of this, almost pense of the SEC.
 At the time the subcommittee conducted it's secret hearings on the entire appropriation 1t con- sisted of five members, three democrats, two republicans. Yet when the SEC appropriation was considered only three of these were present. They were:
 Chairman Clifton A. Wood. rum, Old Guard Virginia dcm- Ocrat, close friend of Senator Carter Glass who sought to emasculate the securities exy' change act when 1t was In conn mittce last session. WOodrun has a long record of trying to gut appropriations of gOyern- mcnt agencies Mhich are crack ing down on big business. He , repeatedly recommended dras- tic slashing of funds of the federal trade commission dur- ing the course of It's probe of the power industry.
 Rich ar d E. Wiggleswprtll, wealthy old Guard Massaellu- sets republican, who fought the enactment of the SEC act.
 William F. Lanlbertson, Old Guard Kansas republican,, also against the establishment of the SEC. S' In it's report on the SEC appro- priation, the subcommittee de- clares that it reached it's decision after thorough and extended hearings"
 Actually Chairman Joe Ken- nedy and several Of his assistants appeared before the com niittee, only once, and then for not more than one hour. ,,a
 Tn it's original budget request, the SEC asked for $4,200,000. Its organization is still uncompleted, and three investigations it is re- quired to make by law have not been touched-all for lack of funds.
 The budget bureau cut the $4,2O0.0OO estimate to $2,34O.- 900. Then the appropriation subcommittee loppedsoff another $690,000.
 If this figure is allowed to stand 1t will mean that for the

 Edward J. White, counsel for the trustees of the Missouri Pacific railroad, was aligned with the government in arguing the cold cases before the supreme. court.
 And in defending the consti- tutionality of the law, he made. the point that the preamble Of the Constitution contains a1"gen- eral 'twelfare" declaration that gives congress the power to de- terrnine what Shall constitute curreney.
 To em phasize his contention he read that section of the pre- amble to which he referred.
