Canadian Investment

Roger w. Babson, business statistician, who is supposed to have keen eye for economic trends, proposes moderate irl- vestnent in Canadian securities as a hedge against Fascist government in the United States" These securities, he adds, should be deposited in Canadian banks. A good many Americans will want to know immediately, "What do you mean Fascist government?" Is this an insinuation against the demo- crats or republicans, or some group or individual that the ordinary citizen hasn't noticed yet?
 Be that as it may, Americans have been investing in Canada for many years, and have millions there. It is doubtless as safe as any foreign investment, and safer than most The Canadians are more like ourselves than any other nation. Their country is almost as much part of the North American economic system, which we dominate, as if there were no bound- ary between us. We are normally each others best customers.

An Adjustmsns Necessary

There will have to be some sort of an adjustment throughout the nation if every city does, as is being done here in Waterbury, relative to the status of vet erans on relief who have just received bonus bonds. The action of the local public welfare department in dropping six families thus affected by the govern mental action of Monday is not centered in this community. From what we can observe it is being followed out pretty generally throughout the nation.
 Welfare department heads are acting on the theory that receipts of bonus bonds immediately make the relief recipient iT- eligible, because such bonds are regard ed in the same category as bank deposits, which automatically prohibits anyone from being placed on relief. Veterans organizations officials do not consider bonus bonds the same as bank deposits. Knowing the situation fairly well, they are probably right in SO adjudging them. But some sort of ruling will have to be made in order to straighten out the situation.
 Probably some investigation will show that in many cases the money realized from the sale of the bonds must be used to cover prior and current obligations. When it is exhausted good proportion of those who received it will be in the po- sition prior to receipt. Others will make such use of the funds as to improve their worldly position. Our public welfare de- partment officials doubtless will keep close check on their cases so that relief may be forthcoming if again found necessary.

A Thought for Today
A Failing Warrior

One day during the recent republican convention in Cleveland, Senator William D. Borah disappeared from the crowded hotel Hobbies and was discovered perched all alone on railing by Cleveland's lake front, looking out over the railroad yards, the harbor and the blue reaches of Lake Erie. The senator had strolled off alone to get a little fresh air and quiet. He found both, and enjoyed them in solitude. Around him lounged the assorted down. and-outers who make that particular stretch of waterfront their hangout.
 And the senator sat there and looked out at nothing in particular - an elderly statesman with deep lines in his face and a droop to his shoulders, communing with himself. It might be interesting to know just what his thoughts were. For Sena- tor Borah, in his moments of introspec- ton, must have ample food for reflection. He is close to the end of his career. It has been notably distinguished one; and 1t contains a rather tragic moral about the fate of the man who makes his fight too late.
 Senator Borah speaks for what might be called the older America; the America that diStruSted the go-getter and the grabber, that lived by a simple creed or antique freedom and had sturdy self- reliance, a confidence in the ability of the ordinary American to take care of him. self unaided. But in his career as Spokes- man for that America, the senator missed a lot of fights.
 He missed one in 1912, when Theodore Roosevelt went across the land like a knight-errant tilting against privilege and greed In that year Senator Borah swal- lowed William Howard Taft - swallowed him with wry grimace, but swallowed him none the less. He missed another III 1924, when old Bob LaFollette spoke up against the House of Have and took his pTedestined licking. Old Bob could have used Borah's help that year; his cause looked remarkably like the cause Borah had always espoused. But Borah's spear never appeared in the LaFollette battle line.
 Came 1928, and Senator Borah went down the line for Hoover. The crowd be- hind Hoover was the one Borah had fought all his life - or most of it. But somehow Borah was in Hoovers corner all through that campaign. Nor did he help unseat that crowd in 1882.
 So, at last, in 1886, the old warhorse went out to battle .. |. and found himself just little too late. He found that the play had been taken away from him by a group of middle westerners, led by a man who, as youngster, had taken the Bull Moose bolt which Borah had been too careful to take.
 The long-overdue liberalization of the republican party had begun - and Landon, not Borah, was the magic name. the senator thought, as he played hockey from the convention to muse by the shore of Lake Erie.

There's no stopping them now. Once they started to bridge the Hudson River there was no let-up. Rarely year passes now but what some suggestion for addi- tional structures comes forward. And rarely 8 year passed by without span being flung across the river somewhere along it's length. The next one will prob ably be the railroad bridge to run from 57th street in Manhattan to Weehawken. The Legislature is expected to give it's final approval to the project this sum- mer and it will be started pronto. The proposed name is Lindenthal Bridge in honor of the late Gustave Lindenthal who pioneered for midtown Hudson River bridge and who was notable bridge de- signer.

Why Boost My State?

The first real effort that Connecticut has ever made to advertise it's wares to the world at large is now underway on com pzehensive scale. If you read your daily newspapers, you know this to be true, because you have read the plans of the State Publicity Commission and how 1t is launching it's drive to make motorists all over the nation and even the world conscious of the fact that Connecticut, though tiny state, has many and di- versified attractions to lure the traveller.
 What part should the average resident of the state play in this campaign? He should play an important part. While our commission is going about it's task of spreading publicity far and wide, we here at home should be prepared to make the visit of the tourist worthwhile. This can be done in a number of ways. The first of these naturally is by making every visitor in our midst realize that Connec- ticut is a hospitable state. We should exert ourselves to be friendly and kind to all motorists.
 We should, too, at the first available moment acquaint our own selves with the natural and artificial wonders of this state of ours. Many of us are so taken up with the attractions that other states hold forth that we scarcely realize that within our own boundaries are all that any man could ask for or find in life of wandering over the surface of the earth. That may sound like exaggeration, but it's really Arue. We have a wonderful little state, } beehive of industry and thzift We also have a truly scenic spot = one that IS feplete with historic interest. Let's make the most of all of it.

Finds Hitler Owes His Power to Army
By BRUCE CATION

Adolf Hitler, mightiest of dicta- tors, is 8 man who cannot make decisions, shrinks from conflict, and owes his power to c knack of tying his fortunes to the stronger of two opposing sides in any given fight.
 This unfiattering picture is con- tained in Hitler" an analytical biography by Rudolf Olden (Covici- Friede: 93)
 MT. Olden reviews the realm leaders career in detail to demon- strate his thesis.
 Hitler, he declares, was going no place fast when, in 1929, the pow erful Hugenberg, head of the Ger man NationalistS, decided that the Nazis could be useful, and ar- ranged subsidies for them from German indugtrtaliSts.
 With this backing, Hitler was able to exploit the national unrest of the next few years: master of even Hugenberg aside.
 Then came the Reichswehr's de- cision to scrap the Versailles treaty and rearm. This decision, says Mir. Olden, was made Q year before Hit- Ter became chancellor. A dictator ship was inevitable; the only ques- ton was, who would be the dicta- tor?
 In the confused jockeying and phenagling which ensued, Mfr. Olden continues, Hitler was able to sell himself to the Reichswellr, He owed his dictatorship to the Reichswehr, and the famous ''blood purge" of 1884 was merely the prof that he had transferred his allegiance from his own party tc the ail-powerfui army.
 Today. says MT. Olden, Hitler fl the Reichgwehr's creature. He will remain dictator as long as the Reichswehr wishes--and no longer. This book, as you may have sur- missed is bitterly hostile to Hitler It is . thorough. detailed bit Oi work which carries a good deal |cf conviction,

of the making of books, tllerc is no end; but too many editors prostl- ute Q noble profession to petty prejudice and mean and sord!d ends. What good 1t does or will do unprincipled writers to tornapt hatred of the National Union loR Social Justice in this land, where today the National Union element is the one predominating influence for good against lax morals, insane visionaries and fanatic theorist, 1t passes my wisdom to fathom or comprehend. It may be, indeed, that these newspapers manifesto tions of hatred and rancor but symbolize the greed and the blind intolerance of 6 system of economies that StinkS to, the high heavens. Yet even worldly prudence should dictate an opposite course to our editors publishers. Would 1t not be part of wisdom not to stir up this patient giant. respectfully refer this suggestion for christening and sobering reflection to newspa- per offenders-irritati,g misreprc- senters of facts in their treatment of the money question, as in all matters affecting the good name of the National Union for Soclal Jus- tice.
 The "suppreSsio veri" and the "suggestio falsi" continually blaze forth from their inflainmatory headlines-headlines often tortured to bear a meaning not warranted by the text they label.
 Yet would they pause to reflect, their policy is as contemptible as 1t must eventually prove suicidal. The truth of Father Coughlin's 16 basic points can easily be under- stood or ascertained by an open mind not biased by partisan poll. tics. Daily papers lose nothing of their scholarly prestige, their Journalistic dignity their honorable standing as newspapers, by verifying the facts they print, with 6 com- mendable but rare appreciation of the responsibility they assume as popular educators and shapers of public opinion.

The address of Rev. Charles E. Cough
 lin this Friday in New York should com mand national attention. In view of Father Coughlin's recent estimate of the presidential candidates of the two major parties he may be expected to make fur rher remarks along this line. He himself has advertised the coming talk by saying it would "startle the nation. Suffice to say he will have large audience of lis- teners, particularly if his remarks are broadcast. And if they aren't there will be heavy demand for copies of 1t on Saturday.

 Editor, Waterbury Democrat:
 It is not within my province as member of the National Union for Social Justice to offer to the readers of this column political ad- vice on partisan lines. Respect for the individual opinions of my friends, forbidS any mere political discussions in these pages. But we are passing through times of such great excitement, of such extraor- dinary political activity, that word of counsel, in the spirit of prudence, will not be considered an intru- sion.
 As factors in lifes work, enthu- siasm and emotion are of great value. They have shared in many noble enterprises, by way of inc Spiration, encouragement, support. It is equally true that they have precipitated many Q rash undertak- ing that has ended in disaster. To men of serious thought, whose judgment holds sway over their emotional nature, 1t is suggestive, and alarmingly SO, that impulses seemingly dominating many persons In the discussions of grave poli- tical questions, are chiefly those of prejudice and excited feeling. ] frankly confess that I do not under stand the currency question with that final and domineering under standing which characterizeS the utteranceS of those who denounce as "cranks" fools" anarchist" oi robbers, men who hold conflict ing views. But such an under. standing devoid as 1t is of any ar- gument except that of abuse, will not enlighten others who, wher they ask reason, are answered bJ ridicule and farfetched invective. If the lessons of history serve any purpose in political campaigns those of American politics teact this salutary truth, that sneerl and islanders are not powerful weapons against common sense ant upright purpose, and that the silent victim of abuse and misrepresenta. ton is often vindicated by the peo. pie whose sense of outraged right revolts against cowardly and dis. honorable tactics in political war. fare. Abraham Lincoln suffered keenly in his day, but the campaign of ridic,lle and abuse helped tow. ards it's own defeat.

 Hickory JOhn," and actually vol- unteered ito see" Al Smith in order to patch up the feud with his father. He was sure he could arrange it.
 Then, a year after elections, he went abroad, to be wined and dined by the prime ministers Of Europe.
 Patient Papa
 When it. comes to his family, the President is Q very patient man too patient, some of his friends think. But finally he de- cided to get his eldest son out of Boston. Jimmy had got himself thoroughly disliked, politically and otherwise; had been black balled by the prominent clubs, and was doing no one, particularly his family, any good.
 Word leaked out that Jimmy would be added to the White House staff. Serving without sale ary, he was to act as Q sort of substitute secretary, in place of Louey Howe. Tn Washington, it was felt, his father could keep an eye on him.
 All this had been definitely arranged. It was not mere ru- mor. But when 1t appeared in the press, the reaction was Aad. So at the next press conference, the President issued Q terse an- nouncement to the effect that Jimmy was to be placed in charge of the twelve.cow dairy and the forestry preserve on the Hyde Park estate. It was explained that Jimmy had "overworked" at the insurance business and need- cd a change of occupation.
 Jimmy Roosevelt read the an- nOuncelment that afternoon fin the papers. He was flabber- gasted. It was the first he had heard about 1t.
 The President, on occasion, has served notice of resignation or transfer on high officers in his administration merely through announcements to the press, and in this case he was equally hard-. boiled with a member of his own family.
 The funny part of it was that Jimmy never milked . COW in his life, and beyond Joyce Kil- mer's poem, knows nothing about trees.
 Chip of Old Block
 Jimmy is an extremely likeable person, and will doubtless grow up. He is terribly thin skinned, loves good publicity, but hates anything unfavorablc in tho press. Underneath that thin skin, however are some very worth- while qualities.
 Undoubtedly 1t is these, plus the fact that Jimmy is the oldest son, that establishes the bond between him and his father. They are extremely close. The President likes to have Jimmy at his side whenever possible. He was there on March {, 1883, when his father took the oath of office.
 Also, Roosevelt doubtless sees in his eldest son . character not so very unlike the irreprcs- slble, bubbling.over, injudiciOus Franklin D., when he himself was young.

 e. Where and when was the first sugar refinery in the United States established?
 A. The first sugar refinery of any practical value was opened in New Orleans, La, in 179l by Antonio Mendez. Attempts were made there in 1759, 1784, 1765, and 1766, but because of the ignorance of the proper use of lime and of the con- centration point they were aban- doned. The first commercial mill was opened there in 17o5.

"sHE MADE HOME HAPPY"

(By Harry Coyle in the Boston Post) "She made home happy" These few words read Within churchyard, graven on a stone. No date, no name, the simple words alone Told me the story of the unknown dead. marble column lifted high its head,
 Close by, inscribed to one the world has known. But ahl that lonely grave with moss o'ergrown Thrilled me far more than his who armies led. "she made home happy" Through the long, sad
 years
 The mother toiled, and never stopped to rest Until they crossed her hands upon her breast, And closed her eyes, no longer dim with tears The simple record that she left behind Was grander than the soldiers to my mind.
