Needed Development

It ID encouraging to read in the news
OF the day that the city through its effl-
Gent Park Department is acquiring land
in various sections of the town for recrea-
tional purposes. Of recent days announce
ment of new Fairgrounds to be thrown
open in the North End and in the Town
Plot districts should evoke from residents
Of those places signs of gratitude. For
many years the various districts which
are not favored with Fairgrounds right in
their midst have been clamoring for at
tention. That it has not been given GER
tainly should not be considered lack of
thought upon the part of the various city
officials.
If it were at all possible Waterbury, we
know, would double the number of parks
and Fairgrounds now available for games
and leisure time pursuits. No program
Of child and youth development can be
conducted without the proper and neces-
Bary facilities. Waterbury has not been
backward in her development of an ade-
quate park system, but this city like all
others has been forced to defer much ac-
fivity in this line of recent years due to
conditions, none of which have been con-
ducive to expansion of park systems by
expenditure of large sums.
We still have hopes, too, that in the
coming years Waterbury will be able to
afford an adequate school athletic field.
We do not propose something that viii be
hidden from view and seldom used. A
city the size of Waterbury with three pub
lie high schools should have more to offer
IA the way of athletic equipment than
what we now do. Use Of public parks for
euch sports as the high school student can
indulge IN Is very fine indeed, but some
hing more than that Is demanded and ul-
nsately must come to pass. Don't let Us
18nceive Of that % q beautiful dream. but
81 something to be realized ss soon rs the
ways and means are provided.

A Thought for Today
Democracy Loses Fear

The World War, as we all fondly hoped,
was fought to make the world safe Tor
democracy. Since the existence of king
is usually an obstacle in democracy's patn'
one of our greatest detectives was to see
Hohenzollerns and Hapsburgs chased away
from their thrones forever. We got our
wish. Or, at any rate, we thought we DID,
The central powers lost their royal faml-
lies, and in the dark days that followed
we felt that this, at least, was one definite
and positive benefit gained by the war.
And now Austria prepares to invite the
Hapsburgs back to their ancient throne
and almost nobody seems to be especially
worried about it!
It would be an ironic thing if, II years
after the war, young Archduke Otto
should return to Austria at the invitation
of the people who disowned him; yet the
tide of history can pull in some strange
directions, at times, and the confusion OF
the postwar years may resolve itself in
an altogether unexpected manner. But
the significant point about this partlcu-
lar development is not that Austria wants
the Hapsburgs back but that nobody else
seems inclined to object very much.
It reflects a widespread public disillu-
sionment with the avowed objects for
which the war was fought. More than
that, it reveals our recognition OF the fact
that democracy can be effectively and
thoroughly stifled even when there is no
king within thousand miles. Russia lost
its car and Germany lost it's kaiser - yet
there is actually less democracy in those
two countries than there was before the
war. Italy has kept its king, deprived
him of power - and, simultaneously, has
knocked democracy on the head. Austria
and Hungary discarded the Hapsburgs,
and got less freedom instead of more.
\ All of this has grown out of an intense
human WEAKNESS, mingled with fear,
suspicion and growing lack OF confidence
in the ability of people in the mass to
solve their problems. The trend has been
toward strong authoritarian governments.
Democracy is no longer in danger from
kings, but from widespread feeling that
democracy itself is played out
This being the case, why should not
Austria recall the Hapsburgs If she
pleases? We who still cling to the demo-
cratic ideal need not worry about that. 1t
is our task to prove that democracy can,
after all, prove an effective means OF gov
eminent in a world that lives in con-
tinual state of crisis. If we can do that,
the return of Archduke Otto will prove
one of the least important of all postwar
developments.

Washington, July ia lot of
people are wondering why hard
hitting young Mariner Eccles,
governor of the federal reserve
board, suddenly about-faced and
gave public approval to the
banking bill after it was ham,
strung by Senaor Carter Glass.
The bill is his prize pet, and
when he first heard about the
senate committees report, Eccles
nearly hit the ceiling.
He rushed to Secretary Nor
genthau, boiling over with plans
to blast the mutilated measure
and Glass with it. He proposed
holding press conference and
firing all barrels. But Morgen-
THAI cautioned calmness and adj
vised him to see the president.
Roosevelt shook his head.
THAT is not the way, Mar
riner," he said. 81 can't take on
any more fights with congress.
I've got my hands full. We will
have to use other methods"
Those other methods already
have been worked out by the
president and his strategists.
Glass VS.. Steagall
Chief factor in this plan is the
controversy which has ragged for
years between the two banking
committee chairmen of congress
Glass of Virginia in the senate
and Steagall of Alabama in the
house.
Steagall's banking views are
just the antithesis of GLASS;.
Where the fiery Virginian is con-
sentative and deathly opposed to
the central banking proposal,
Steagall is a monetary liberal.
The bill which already has
passed the house - with Stea-
CALLS blessing - is in the form
the administration wants it. 1t
gives full force to Title 2, which
provides for government regu-
lated central banking.
The senate bill, as it came
from the sulphuric hand of Car
ter Glass, drastically diluted
Title 2. giving private bankers
part supervision over central
banking.

CAR INSPECTION STARTS
Hartford Courant)

The large response Of the auto
mobile owners of Hartford to the
invitation of the motor vehicle de-
partment to bring their cars in for
inspection before the compulsory
examinations start is cause for
qualification. It indicates that the
examination laws, passed by the
legislature in one of its brighter
moments, are recognized by the
public as being in the interests of
the driving public generally. De-
spite the compulsory feature Of the
new laws, public support is neces-
sary IL the venture is to be sue
cess.
An indication of the need for
such inspections is given by the
large number of cars whose equip
ment was found to be faulty by
the state inspectors. Presumably
the majority Of the owners who ac-
(cepted the invitation did so with
confidence that their automobiles
would pass any inspection for
safety, yet of the first sixty cars
examined, all but eleven were told
that equipment must be replaced.
adjusted or repaired before the seal
indicating official approval would
be granted. That less than 20 per
cent Of the cars that were present
ed voluntarily for inspection should
come up to the reasonable require
ments of sofety is disturbing.
The departmental motor vehicles
and its engineer in charge of the
examination, Mr.. Wilbur L. Cross,
Jr., are to be congratulated, both
for the tactful way the experiment
has been introduced to Connecticut
and for the attempts they have
made to maket he examination as
easy on the patient and the amour
propre of the automobile owner as
is possible. Already the expert
mental station at the Armory can
handle seventy cars an hour and
it is believed that as many as 100
an hour can be taken care of short
1y. BY the time compulsory exam
nations begin, the routine OF in
spection should be so well develop
ed that no owner can have just ex-
cuse for objection.

A Book a Day
Proposes Silver as
Working Currency
By BRUCE CATION

A little shy of 100 years ago,
Great Britain, finding herself the
leading creditor nation of the world
and sorely in need of a stable cur
rency, adopted the gold standard.
Today, America has become the
leading creditor nation and, partic-
ularly until he collapse of 1929
found herself draining large sums
of gold from other countries in
payment for the goods she was ex-
porting.
But trouble was ahead for
America and the rest of the
world. writes William p. Shea,
research economist, in a simply
written booklet, SILVER Dollars. !"
For Americans failed to distin-
guish investment money from ac-
count money, and that from ac-
tual "workhorse" currency.
Gold, he points out, forms the
basis of the first two divisions in
ordinary circumstances, but was
being mistaken as the means for
actual exchange.
No matter how much America
stocked up on gold. the four bill
lions in reserve could in no way
provide for the so billions on de-
mand IN the form of currency
and bank deposits. And 80 the
crash.
Now comes the cause OF silver.
brought forward by Mr.. Shea to
replace gold In the capacity OF
"wcrkhorse Of the monetary sys-
tenn" while gold could remain as
the basis Of credit.

shea's thesis Il backed further

mating and interesting story Il n.

One hundred and eighty thousand dol
lars has been allotted by President Roose-
welt to development of the much-discussed
park at Savin Rock. This will be added to
a large sum to be raised by the town
through bond issue and the entire
amount used for retaining the shore
front at this particular point in West
Haven. If the plan is put through as an
nounced some time ago much of the COM
mercial life of Savin Rock would be wiped
out completely. The park, which would be
semi-state and town, includes practically
all the shore front where concessions and
amusements are now operating. For years
there has been much discussion of Great
ing beautiful waterfront park at Saw
in Rock. However, these efforts usually
met with defeat as private owners were
able to muster enough strength to prevent
the land being utilized for non-remunera-
tive purposes.

Modern Barter
There is a confidential file in
the Office of George Peek, head
of the import export bank,
which tells a revealing story re-
garding the trend of trade.
1t shows that modern COM
mcrce is reverting to the meth.
DDS of frontier days. In order to
circumvent restrictions on ex.
change, whereby certain coun-
tries may not ship out gold, q
tremendous trade is springing up
in goods, without the use OF
money.
Peek has a list of 200 in
stances of barter deals between
private companies throughout
the world. Since such deals are
usually kept secret, he surmises
there must be ten times as many
that he knows nothing about.
He has foun d that much
American trade with Germany is
conducted by barter. Here are
some of the deals:
u. S. Tobacco exchanged for
German chemicals; U. S. dried
apples for German steel wire; U.
S. walnuts for German steel pipe;
U. S., lumber for German pad
locks; U. S. red salmon caviar
for German miscellaneous goods;
U. s. feathers for German lily
of-the-yalley pips (bulbs).
Sometimes the deals involve
several countries. Peek came
across one where an American
commodity was shipped to Ger
many and traded for German
commodity bought by Uruguay;
in turn South American beef was
sent to France, and the original
U. S. shipper collected in French
francs.
Peek is preparing this evil
dence for his fight with Secretary
of State Cordell Hull. He plans
to demand that the government
follow the lead of private indus
try and execute barter deals of
its own.

Paris-(UP)-The tourist trade
in France is only shadow OF
what it used to be four or five
years ago, but the traffic in hotel
stickers for stay-at-home Ameri-
cans is as flourishing as ever.
More than 100000 baggage-la-
bells Of Paris hotels have been sent
to Americans this season, it is es-
timated here. OF this number
only small proportion are used
for travel in France, while tho
large remainder are pasted on
suit cases to create the impression
Of globe-trotting. t
Hundreds Of Letters
Hotel managers say they receive
letters almost every day from the
United States asking for stickers.
Some of the Americans write that
they have been in Paris, but for
got to get evidence of their trip.
Most Of them, however, frankly
admit they never have been to
Paris, but would like to come.
Since it is not possible for the
present, they would like to have
the illusion of travel by pasting
them on their luggage.
Others boldly avow that they
have no intention of even
coming to France, but are collec-
tors. One said he has 5000 stick
,ers, but wants to reach the 10000
mark. t
