The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-04-09

cumbent is Mrs. Elizabeth Coe.
 As result of the efforts to shift the, chairmanship from At- torney Palomba to Phillips, tonight'S meeting of the Waterbury Repub- lican club is expected to be a fiery one.
 The decision of Town Chairman Palomba to let the five ward chair men pick the slate of delegates to the g. o. D. city convention, who will be voted upon at the coming republican primaries, has also turned considerable fire against him. It is being charged that he is going back to the old steering committee" system followed before the reorganization group headed by him threw out the old Conway Goss-Larkin regime.
 Sweeney Proposed
 It was reported in the Republi- can this morning that Attorney Ed ward Sweeney was being mentioned for the office of town chairman in the event that separate slate of delegates is filed for the g. o. p. pri- maries.
 We have had enough of attor- neys as chairmen of the town committee" asserted one leading re- publican this morning. T don't believe that Attorney Sweeney will seek the chairmanship but the new forces will demand a businessman who has no strings to pull and no desire to profit, individually, from his political office. There certainly will be a ticket of delegates en- tered for the primaries and town committee will be elected that will frown on steering committees and anything that looks like them"

Nations of the Western Hemisphere
will meet this summer at Buenos Aires
in an inter- American conference which
may have far reaching effects in
the worlds commerce, all because of in
ternational jealousies and threatening
war in Europe and Asia. These troubled
times in the Eastern Hemisphere may be
the lever by which the United States re-
gains the bulk of its trade with Latin
Americ countries.
Japan, England and other nations
have made serious inroads into South
American trade The United States has
suffered Her export totals have drop
ped. The League of Nations and the
fancied protection ii gave was popular
in South America. Europe and Asia
made the most of the popularity, and
the supposed common interests, TO de-
veop the South American markets.
Smaller countries to the south looked
upon Uncle Sam as a neighbOrhood
bully, with troops in Nicaragua, Haiti
and elsewhere.
Now the league is in state of vir-
tual collapse. The powers of Europe,
backed to the wall, are looking after
their own skins, lining up according 10
beliefs and common interests, playing
worldwide politics-and each for its
own good. S0uth America KNOWS Il. ne
United States has pulled its troops out
of the Latin American countries. It is
friend and a good neighbor, one whose
power and protection might be useful
one of these days.
So the Buenos Aires conference,
where friend chats with friend in full
spirit of peace, gives the nations of the
Western Hemisphere, and particularly
the United States, an opportunity once
again to become a powerful separate
group. It is an opportunity that should
not be missed.
