THE SHEPHERD

The Relief Office is my Shepherd,
l am in want.
She leadeth me to lie down in
alleys,
She leadeth me besided still fac
tories.
She disturbeth my soul.
She leadeth me in the paths OF
starvation for her jobs sake,
Yea, though l walk in the valley
Of the shadow of hunger,
| anticipate no food for she Is
with me.
She prepareth a reduction in my
budget
And in the presence of mine enc
mics =,
She anointeth my presence with
abuse,
And nv cup runneth over.
Surely unemployment and poverty
shall follow me all the days Of
nv life and shall dwell on
budget forever.

Perhaps the Wisest Course

It must have been after listening to the increasing number of authorities discuss the flood relief legislation for the Con- necticut River valley that Representative William L. Higgins, republican, of Coven- try, offered the suggestion that plans for the same be held over until the next Ses- sion of Congress. This undoubtedly would cause quite furore in those circles where everything is all set to proceed with Connecticut Valley Authority, but scru- tiny of what has been done and what will be done makes us believe that the con- gressman isn't far from wrong in urging delay
 In the first place congressional leaders are trying to speed up the present session so that all members will be out of the trenches and at the national conventions by mid-June At one time certain leaders were predicting that Congress would end it's session by May l. They aren't saying anything about it at all now, as they realize that it will be June before they are through with must" legislation and other pending business. Other than that there's the thought of approaching nom- nations and elections.
 Both of these are sufficient cause for not moving too rapidly to aid the flood- ravaged regions. Hastily drawn up leg islation might be worse than no legisla- tion at all We know that something will be done to prevent recurrence of such things as we saw right in our own state last month. But if there isn't practical plan ready, it's not right to work some make-shift substitute off on us. There needs to be thorough survey made of the valley, one that will check on others no doubt made in the past. Plans that have been advanced should be weighed carefully.
 Postponing flood control legislation a year may be disastrous, but are we sure passage right now assures us of safety. The Connecticut river can be dredged right away without congressional action. That's urgent and necessary. Flood relief loans can be granted; they're imperative in many cases. But the systematic de- velopment of the valley is long range construction. It demands deliberation, not spontaneous action. Let's get the best when we get something in the nature of flood relief.

Hard To Believe

The news that has been discussed wherever politicians gathered finally broke into print last week with the claim that Governor Wilbur L. Cross and for mer Congressman John Q. Tilson would oppose each other at the polls next Mo- vember. It isn't the first time that Col onel Tilson has been mentioned for the gubernatorial nomination. Ever since he was retired from congress he has been mentioned as a possible candidate for va rious offices For time he was content to spurn them but this year he seems just a bit more willing.
 It would be coup, indeed, if he se- cured the leading role in the g. o. D. ticket this fall. And it might lead to eXplana- tions on the status of the RorabackTil- son feud of many years standing When Colonel Tilson was acquiring fame down in congress he didn't seem to be so pop ular at home with the state chairman. In fact it's often said in political circles that Colonel Tilson might have been either house leader or vice-president had it not been for Roraback interference. That, naturally, is political hearsay.
 Republicans, if we are to believe every thing that's said and written, are count ing strongly on eX-officeholders bearing the brunt of the fight. At that rate there must be place somewhere on the ticket for former U s. Senator Hiram A. Bing- ham. We'd like to see Colonel TilSon run against Governor Cross or whatever can didate the democrats name to head their ticket. We don't think the result would be any different than it has been in the past few years, but it would definitely prove to republicans that they have to in- fuse new blood into their party.

New Workers blinked with astonish- ment the other morning when they awoke to find that they were apt to lose their possession of half of the George Washington Bridge over the Hudson River. New York, through it's Port of New York Authority, owns but half of this great span, the other half being pos sessed by New Jersey. With half of it up for sale, it might be that New Jersey would own the whole structure and have a foothold on Manhattan in no time. But the matter was soon explained. It seems that when the clerks the city collec- tors office send out tax bills, they do it thoroughly. And one of them included taxes on the New York approaches to the Washington Bridge. But after the Port of Authority officials had taken up the matter it developed that these approaches are tax exempt. On several occasions there have been tax bills sent out for bridge approaches with penalty of selling the bridge unless paid. All are straight ened out in routine fashion until another year elapseS.

but, as in a nightmare, seem powerless to stop it or move out of it's way. If you know the answer, you know more than they do here."
 Possibly nobody knows the answer. Yet there are some things reasonably clear. One of the clearest is this - that war is state of mind which tends to realize itself. If nation expects war, it is likely to come When people start thinking that war is preventable, they can do some thing to check the forces leading them in that direction.
 Personal conviction of the futility and folly of war, social animus against citi- zens engaging in perilous war business, national legislation against American participation in war plans or war profits, all these can help to build up resistance against the sort of national brainstorm which, in crisis, may plunge us into a foreign conflict The best preventive of all, perhaps, is simple common sense.

Leniency to Finland

The Finnish government has asked our State Department to reconsider it's decision in connection with a $1,500,O0O claim lodged against the United States by various Finnish shipowners. These shippers say that their vessels wer un- justly detained in United States ports during the World War, causing heavy financial loss. They seek permission to sue for damages in the United States courts. A year ago the State Department denied this permission. Now the case comes up again.
 No one, probably, but an expert in ad- miralty law could say whether the claim is justified; but, offhand, it is permissi- ble to express the hope that the. State Department will give these Finnish claim ants the benefit of every doubt. Ror Finland, you remember, is the one and only European nation which is paying it's war debt to Uncle Sam. Can't our State Department see it's way clear to give the country break?

Who Won the War? Well, Maybe We Did
 Rv RRJICE CAPTION

Ever since the World war, our late allies-who did everything but pawn their immortal souls to get us into it-have been assuring us that we didn't do so very much for them, after all.
 Oh, sure, we sent soldiers to France; but our soldiers didn't do much fighting, and what fighting they did do was misdirected and rather ineffective, and altogether the British and French troops gained the victory without gr eat deal of help from us. Read the memoirs of Lloyd George, Foch, Clemenceau, ct al, if you don't believe it.
 General R. l.. Bullard, one of the A. E. Els top soldiers, has been hear ing this sort of stuff until he is tired of it; so, with the help of Earl Reeves, he has written a stimulat- ing little book called American Soldiers Also Fought" that presents the other side of the picture.
 All the American army did, says General Bullard, was win the war. The blow that turned the wars tide, he says, was the great coun- ter-stroke at Soissons: and four fifths of the combat troops that won that stroke were Americans.
 Furthermore, says the general, the British and French advances in the closing months of the war were made possible by the American thrust in the Meuse-Argonne.
 Without American troops, says General Bullard, Germany would certainly have won the war in 1918. With American troops-because of America ntroops-Germany lost it; lost it year ahead of the most hopeful allied prediction.
 If yo uhave been fed up on the patronizing tone of the memoirs of British and French statesmen and soldiers, you'll find General Bul- lard's little book highly refreshing. It is published by Longmans, Green and Go. for $l.

are engaged only in the adoption of laws which contains the seeds for a triple tightening of the grip upon the Italian people. Nominally they are:
 l. Strengthening of the Fascist power for the continuation of a war policy.
 2. Protection and defense for the capitalist class. 3. To save the state from bank ruptcy and keep the peoples eyes in darkness about the real conditions of the national economy. He and his friends, deliberately refuse to see the cyclopic formation of a new order of things within an orderly state which Mussolini cre- ated and which benefit now, and will benefit more in the future, all the Italian people, the new order of things that Is embodied in the cooperative state.
 The cooperative state has nothing mysterious in it which can allure the Italian people or any other peo- pie. And the realization of it is not the imprompt flash of lightning. The cooperative state of Italy is in- stead the natural conclusion of the first cycle of fascism, and took con- crete form only after the solid and sagacious preparation of every branch of the Italian government.
 The statization of the national economy is not the aim of the CO., operative state and if, for an emer- gency or for the development of a condition of facts which find any government conscious of their re- sponsibility to adopt timely and proper measures, it takes under the state control the key industries for the production of war materials, that is not the application of so- cialistic point.
 Mussolini never gave to his words and to his acts a double Signifi- canoe. Every socialist mad every communist knows very well that the cooperative solution of the capital ism is the solution of the self dis cipline of the production bestowed to the productors. And for produc- tors Mussolini means induStrials and workers alike.
 Perhaps the communists think that they are the only Repositories of the cause of the workers, but they will never succeed in convinc- ing the people of Italy that between the Mussolinian class cooperation and the Leninistic class war, they must choose the last.
 It is ridiculous that certain per- sons intimately connected with the communist party of Russia, which destroyed any form of religion and murdered or tortured millions of their opponents, can talk of an Italan people tyrannically governed and ready to inSurge.
 MT. Mike Russo had to know by now that no other government in the world is today supported by the people in the saine way of the fas- cist government of Mussolini'S. Whe- ther Mike likes it or not, Mussolini is piloting Italy toward the com- plete occupation of Ethiopia, and if the peace will reign in Europe-and Mussolini has always mastered for the purpose of peace in Europe every perilous situation-will show to the world what young people under his dynamic direction can do with barberic and wild region in ten years of colonization and hard work.

Peace for Two Years

The present outlook in Europe is peace for at least a couple of years more. The experts say Hitler twill not be ready to strike" until the spring of 1888. Perhaps that is date worth remembering. Mean while what about us? Raymond Clapper, Washington columnist, writes: "There is a lack of confidence here that existing neutrality legislation will keep us from being involved. Already considerable vested interest in another European war aas grown up in this country. American anMchine tool makers are in Europe sell tng machinery and models and taking future orders for supplies. We see the avalanche coming down the mountain

Harold G. Campbell, superintendent of New York's schools, likes the modern rhythms and advocates them for use in all schools. He thinks that where there is classroom music considerable attention should be paid to such songs as "Let Me Call You Sweetheart" "The Last Round Up," and others of this type. But what of the copyright owners, MT. Campbell? Don't let Mr. Warner or his aides hear you singing 'em or you may be fined. However, the numbers, we feel sure, will be we'll received by the children and we don't doubt but what there'll be luStier singing than ever.

Selected Poem

LARKS Robert Bridges, in "Poetical Works" (New York: oxford University Press) Christian Science
 Monitor Reprint What voice of gladness, hark
 In heaven is ringing? From the sad fields the lark
 Is upward winging High through the mournful mist that blots our day Their songs betray them soaring in the grey. See them Nay, they In sunlight swim; above the furthest stain Of cloud attain; their hearts in music rain Upon the plain.
 Sweet birds far out of sight
 Your songs of pleasure Dome us with joy as bright
 As heavens best azure.

Polish democrats are clamoring for a place in the state ticket this fall. It is likely that Frank Coskey of Hartford, President of Pulaski State Federation of Democratic Clubs, will be designated as the choice should there be an oppor- tunity for him to go on the ticket. How ever, right now there doesn't seem to be any opening. We don't imagine those present democratic office-holders expect to relinquish their office without fight And if the democrats expect harmony they'll probably avoid many convention fights, particularly over places on the ticket.
