CANADA FACING
EASY MONEY
REVOLT

ANTON, N. Y. June 81
GN.S).-A new "easy money
revolt is brewing on the prairies

Of Dalhousie University, Halifax,

The movement is directed, not
only against the old parties, but

said.

Many predict victory for the

said, adding:
"There is much easy money

AMENDMENT NEEDED
Dean Howard Lee McBain, of
Columbia University, noted con-
stitutional wyer, said that
changes by direct amendment
will have to be made in the
United States Constitution before
far-reaching social and economic
adjustments advocated by Presi-
dent Roosevelt can be accom-
plished. A proposal for an amend.
ment would be defeated now, he
opined, saying:

FAIR PRACTICES
UP TOFEDERAL:
TRADE BOARD

Plans for antitrust law enforce
ment, accompanied by more gen.
eral self-regulation of industry I'M
der the watchful "policeman's"
eye of the Federal Trade Commits
sion, were laid before President
Roosevelt yesterday.
Commissioners, headed by Chair.
man Edwin L. Davis, canvassed
with the President the program
that might be used since the col.
lapse Of NRA codes.
Program Unsettled
No new program was settled
upon, it was understood. Increased
activity by the commission, and it's
place in the Administrations gen.
eral plan, we're understood to be
slated for discussion with heads Of
the Skeletonized MIRA.
There was belief that q COOP
erative arrangement could be
made.
The commission plans active en-.
forcement of the antitrust laws
insofar as they lie in it's field.
Many inquiries about entering
into fair practice agreements, and
some requests for action, have
been received by the commission
from various industries.
Under the pre-NRA plan, which
remained in force but was over.
Swallowed by the codes, fair prac.
tice rules agreed upon by members
Of industry and approved by the
commission have the force of law.
Richberg Departs
The rules have been established
for about $50 industries over a
long period of years
Both, Donald r. Richberg, who
bade the President good-by yes,
terday after leaving his NRA post,
and Attorney General Cummings,
indicated further ERA legislation
might ultimately be enacted, but
that none is under consideration
at this time.
Mr.. Richberg took the view that
rebuilding of the structure of
regulation would be helpful. He
thought way might be found to
do it without a constitutional
amendment.

REFORM
UPFOR ACTION

The Glass Senate banking sub
committee, considering the New
Deals banking reform legislation
hopes to decide during the day
its stand on the provision to cen
tralize credit control in the Fed
eral Reserve Board.
Senator Glass CD of Virginia,
has opposed the proposal ever
since it was presented by Mar
riner S. Eccles, governor Of the
Federal Reserve Board. A COM
promise, or a decision to post
pone action until next year, is
expected.
Other sections of the measure
already have been approved by
Glass body. They would extend
the Federal deposit insurance
systems temporary deposit insur-
ance limit at $4,000, and make
various changes in the banking
laws.
Under existing law the limit
on insured deposits will jump to
$4,000 June 80 unless Congress
acts.

War. Makes Demands

As the Senate moves closer to passage of law limiting wartime profits in the munitions trade, senators who have ln- vestigated that traffic are reported to be preparing a new blast at the way 1t was handled in the last war. Members of the Nye committee, it is said, will seek to prove that there was something very like a strike of capital in the most crucial moments of our war with Germany. Big munitions makers they charge, delayed production to quibble over profits at time of national crisis.
 Senator Nye says bluntly that they ''for- got patriotism for personal gain" It is impossible to forecast just what sort of law will come out of all this. But what ever is done, it will simply be reflection of the great change which has come over war-making in the last generation.
 Nowadays, when nation goes to war, it must go as a unit. The soldier is only the spearhead of it's effort. Behind him all the wealth and industry of the nation must be united. The amount of wheat a farmer may raise, the amount of money mechanic may demand for his work, the extent to which maker of 10-cent store novelties may buy rubber for his needs, the proportion of steel production which can be allotted to the railroads, the inter- est banker may charge for loans - all these things, and myriad more, must be controlled by the government as strictly as the movements of the army itself are controlled.
 This is because the scope of modern war has broadened so tremendously. In the old days war was carried on chiefly by professional armies, augmented by volun- teers. Except for raising prices and a shortage of manpower, a nations daily life was not very greatly affected by the war The British tried to follow that custom in 1914, with their slogan of Business as usual" They soon found that such a slo- gan is as out-of-date in modern war as a Greek bireme. Business can't be con- ducted as usual; every citizen and every
The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-02-28
In Line With Trend

If this state is to give serious consider ation to simplification of our form ot government so that economies may be at tained and practiced, it must be by taking direct action. Something along this line came up for attention in the Legislature today. The bill creating a jail farm at Glastonbury received public hearing. There were many prominent citizens speaking in it's defense. The only known public opponent that we had heard from prior was State Senator John F. Lynch of West Haven.
 . Speaking for the bill were such highly diversified company as States Attorney Hugh M Alcorn, Mayor John Murphy of New Haven, Mayor Jasper McLevy ot Bridgeport, John Goss of the Scovill Company, Dean Charles E. Clark of the Yale Law School Warden Reed of the State Prison at Wethersfeld, represen- stative of Most Rev Maurice F. McAuliffe, Bishop of the Hartford Diocese of the Roman Catholic Church, and many others. All regarded creation of the jail farm as an important step in Nthe development of the penal life of Connecticut. ,' There is no arguing the economical feat ure of the issue with us. We are con- vinced that if Connecticut maintains her present. system of county jails she must spend millions to make these institutions habitable even by hardened criminals. Statistics will show that for the most part the inmates of our county jails are not criminals at heart or by nature, yet many ot them after being incarcerated in the same for long detention or waiting periods emerge criminals at heart and remain so for the rest of their natural lives.
 Very little can be said about the condi- Ition of our county jails. We do not offer this as a criticism of any official. They cannot make up for the shortcomings of their respective institutions in lack ot modern or civilized facilities for correcting prisoners by period of detention. The iail farm has worked splendidly wherever tried out The prison farm established for inmates at Wethersfield few years back is no longer an experiment. It is an established institution.
 Those who were not able to go to Hart ford today to voice their support of this measure creating jail farm should by all means see to it that their own legislators are informed of the fact that such a bill is in the hands of the committee and should be watched for when reported. Connecticut has proud record in the way of institutions. We should not let it suffer by continuing to exhibit start ling signs of stubbornness and short sightedness in the matter of county jails. They served their purpose; new day demands a new means of correcting or checking crime.

institution must be cog in the war-mak- ing machine.
 It is for that reason that the old, indi- vidualistic method of creating and mar keting war supplies is obsolete in war time. Individual rights must be over ridden. Freedom, in the ordinary sense, is suspended for duration of the conflict. That is why some form of government control over the munitions trade is war time essential. It is also, when you stop to think about it, the greatest of all argu- ments against war itself.

Washington, Feb 2S-Probably the most important job tackled by the president during his Hyde Parksrest was an inventory of the why's and wherefores of his trouble with the senate.
 Roosevelt and his inner cOun. ell finally haves become pro- fOundly disturbed over the situ- atiOn.
 And we'll they maye be.
 More than one president has come to grief through warning with an irate senate. At stake is not only Roosevelt's work-re- lief program, but his social-se- curity measures, plus the bank ing and holding corporation bills.
 The president went to a good deal of tfbuble before leaving Washington to get some frank and realistic information as to the causes for his sena- torial troubles. And the con- census of views he took away with him to null over were:
 1. That he is urgently in need of more reliable and com prehensive information of what is going on in congress. He is now dependent practically en- tirely on the democratic floor leaders, who at heart are none too friendly to his legislative program. ,.. t'.55t -e e
 2. That something must, be- Ia has Senators Joe Robinson i.nd Pat Harrison, titular floor lead CTS, very much on the defen-f. sive and no one else has dared tackle him. As 8 result HueS has a free hand in warning on White House legislation.
 3. That the president must not hesitate to fight openly and vigorously for his measures. Unless he does so, the senate will wrest control of congress from him and the chances are he will never regain it.
 Roosevelt was reported to be strongly impressed by these sug- gestions. To at least one of his plain-spoken conferees he indi- cated that it was the first time he had received such advice.
 What he has decided to do now remains to be seen. .>e PWA ODDITIES

 I was much interested in the letter of MT Strap Hanger which recently.appeared in the To- Days Mail column of your newspaper. MT Strap Hanger referred to the Jalopies and Puddle Jumpers which the Connecticut Co. uses to collect fares in return for so-cailed transportation. In addition to Strap Hangers just complaint wish to add some of my own.
 The Connecticut Co. has practi- cally been given the exclusive parking rights in and around Ex- change Place. As far as Leaven- worth St. is concerned 1t should be posted with signs No private ve- hicles allowed',s Not only do the busses clutter up this public street they make no attempt to leave a right of way for motorists. The Connecticut Co. has. signs posted in their busses to the effect that operators shall pull as closeto the curb as possible. You motorists who travel through Leayenworth St. just check up and you will no- tice while the front wheels of the busses may be parked against the curb, the, rear wheels will be park ed anywhere from the curb, to the middle of the street. ~ Why not have the Connecticut co. purchase or rent a terminal centrally located The City could slice of a. part of the sidewalk and tear down the old Weltor Fountain at the East end of the Green. Also g part of the Green on the West end could be used as a terminal, The Connechcut Co: tc pay rental to the City. Thus terminals would be provided tc take care of bus patrons to and from all parts of the! city. :. The down town streets would be free from congestion and traf. tfic jams. The City would collect revenue and, the Connecticut Co would solve agterninal problem

 Watertown democrats and many of our good republicans join in say ing "Our hats off to Mrs Webster" Too, much of the ''very things" of which she complains is causing un- told criticism here.
 As she aptly says: Ut is the duty of the minority to watch the
 majority" It cannot be done in Watertown because selfish over- bearing republican officials do not recognize the minority.

 eligible to draw pay. He is third Selectman Frank T. Coon elected
 last October, he has been out Of
 work nearly two years, he is a good citizen, a property owner. is
 ready and willing to function as selectman, but our two republican members completely ignore him. It is shameful to note the
 change in our town management l in the past two years. Tammany Hallites would blush at some of the methods used here. | The majority of the voters feel that Selectman Buckingham has | too many outside interests and is absent from town too much to
 give his personal attention to town affairs.
