The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-06-26

How numerous this group is in the party will be seen from the fact that in 1882 the great majority of its members in the House voted in favor of the Goldshorough bill. That bill provided for Q rudimen- tary form of managed currency and for imitation.
 But there was another source of difficulty. Even men who favor the gold standard can well diS- agree about W hat to do now.
 The president has devalued the dollar. That is an accomplished fact. Therefore, three questions present themselves: T
 First, should we 90 back to the gold standard?
 Next, should we revalue the dollar or devalue 1t more or fix 1t at its present value?
 Third, should we make our paper money convertible into gold? GOLD IS VIKING PROBLEM
 As to the gold standard, we are in Q measure on the gold stand ard. That is, money Is valued in relation to gold,
 As t O the amount of gold in the dollar, that, somehow, is all mixed up with the question of forelgng trade and the money problems of other countries. Should we Stabi. lize now or should we wait until we can do 1t in agreement with other countries?
 And, finally, as to ''gold ccn- vertibility," how should that be brought about? Should gold cir- culate freely again, or should oth- or forms of money be convertible merely into gold bullion or gold D barss .HE. Should we do this now or
 Tn spite of ell their cocksure. ness about money, the repub- licanS found themselves as cotla- pletely at sea over the subject as the democratic conventions of 1900 and i0O4. Tn fact, the Cleveland convention duplicated c famous In. cident of the 1904 democratic con- vention. ly
 That convention repudiated Bry- an and nominated Alton B. Parker. But it wanted to placate the Bry- an wing. Hence 1t was disposed to keep quiet on the subject of money.
 Parker, precisely as Landon did, sent telegram 0 the convention stating his position on money and gold. g5s@
 SOUND MONEY MEANINGLESS
 But since then both parties have been sound" on money. Sound money" is Q favorite expression. It really means nothing. Everybody is for sound money. But generally in

our politics t has bsant the gold standard.
 Both parties have been for 1t since 1904. The democratic plat form in i032 declared for "sound currency, maintained at all haz- ards" And here was the repub- lican party in 1eS0, after it's bit- ter denunciations of Rocsevelt,a money policy, afraid to put them il its ? latforTn.
 It declared for Q "sound Clr- rency"- leaving out gold to please BorAh and certain other groups, It came out against further de- valuation But 1t contradicted that by announcing that while 1t was for stahilizing the dollar-rget tilng on It's gold content--it was not in favor of doing, SO right away, but waiting until other nations have sufficient stability for such action.
 It demanded that the right to change the gold content be taken out Of the presidents hands and returned o Congress.
 LANNON'S STAND CLEAR
 However, in the preamble, the president was denounced for ndis- honoring the country by repudiat- ing it's most sacred obligations."' 2 The party accepts that now as an accomplished fact, though it cp- poses further devaluation, and post- pones final action until the inter- national situation makes this safe. ] Then Governor Landons tele- gram to the convention said that by sound money must be under stood "a currency expressed in terms of gold and convertible into gold" But he added that con- vertibility could not be attatined now and that he would attempt 1t when it could be done without pen- aliSing our producers of ccmmodi- ties.
 This puts him definitely on rec ord as against Q managed cur- rency. r.
 The party declarations on agri- culture were pretty much as fore- cast-tatriff protection for farmers and subsidies to make up to them what they do not get by the tariff. Soil protection and cooperative marketing are included.
 The relief D lank was also what was expected - state adrninistra- ton of relief and state share in cost. The blanks on the tariff and balancing the budget were also acc cording to schedule.
 The two other features which excite attention, and, for that mat ter, approval, are the blanks on social security and the merit sys- tenn. ,
 On social security the platform denounced the presidentSi weird plan for . reserve of 47 billion dollars, which is impossible. It Advocated paying for old age pen- sions as we 90 instead of through accumulated reserves and 1t urged also that all workers be included

One Waterbury Entry An. nOnnCed for AnnnaI
 s. N. E. Tournament


 The annual southern New Eng land contract bridge champion ships will be held at the MohicaIi hotel In New London, Conn. July 10, lT, 1e and 70. s
 For live years Q pitched battle has waged hot and heavy, between the New York experts and the sturdy New Englanders. Last year the New EngIanders conquered, carrying ofE first honcrs in each of the events. This year the New Workers have vowed determinedly to take the coveted trophies from the honry hands of the rugged New Eng landers.
 Among the New York experts ex- pected Co play in the championships are: MT. and Mrs. F. Hal Sims, Mfr. and Mrs. George U. Harris. oswald Jaccby, Waldeinar won ZedtWikz, Albert 1T. MoreIIead, sam Fry, Jr, Richard Frey, Edward Hymes, IT,, Mrs. Robert B. Fuller, A. Mitchell Barnes, and Comm, Withheld Lig- gett, Jr..
 W. s. Smith of waterbury is ex- pected to play in the chainpion- ships.
 The four day contract clash in- cludes: an open team of four, an open pair and . mixed pair event. The latter tourney wherein c man and a woman play as partners, has come to the fore only recently. It is expected that this will be one of the best attended of the cham pionships, proving the firm hand the fair sex now exercise in bridge aE. fairs.
 The championships are conducted by Lewis osborn, of New York. instead of only about half as in the presidents plan.
 It does, however, insist on . administered system Of old age pensions, while the presidents plan is Q national one. It also supports state unemployment sys- teTns, which is in line with the presidents policy, though the president attempts to force state systems by means of a tax.
 On unemployment the platform is very vague.
 MERIT SYSTEM URGED N
 One splendid feature is the de- Inand for . federal civil service system. This would be more or less routine but for Governor Lan- don'S telegram saying what he means by civil service. f3e means Q service in which everybody ii1- der the grade of assistant secre- tary shall be Q part of the classi- fled service.
 Apparently the republicans bat tic is going to be waged, not 50 much on the platform as . whole as upon the flaming preamble---a kind of stirring call to patriots to rise and mite the enemies of the nation. #tf
 We are going to hear American- ism, Farley, and the corrupted civil service, extravaganza and the nations credit discussed rather than specific declarations in favor of particular topics. i.S

West Indies Ban
Green Pastures

Georgetown, British Guiana
Sept 26-(By Samuel A. Boyea
for A. N. P.)-West Indians have
been denied the pleasure of seeing
"Ihe Green Pastures" the miracle
Of the theatre which has not be-
come the miracle of the screen. It
is claimed that there r certain
features which are objectionable
and might not react very nicely in
q Caribbean community. Again, it
is also said that the film is s%acrili-
guos, especially the role played by
Rex Ingram representing Ode
Lawd."
The film was banned in Trinidad,
West Indian island which houses
the British Colonial Film Exchan-
ge and is the chief distributing
cinema centre in these parts. The
West Indian Press launched a ter
rifle broadside on the Board of
Censors.
The port of Spain Gazette"
the father. of West Indies Journal
ism stated:
considerable discussion has
been provoked by the banning of
thefilm, Green Pastures" and, in
connection we have received num-
berless letters complaining of the
manner in which our film eensors
do their work. For our part, we
haev never maintained that they
are wonderfully proficient in their
methods; and, as a matter of fact,
the present constitution of the
Board oppears to us to leave much
to be desired.
"The grounds of their decision
strange, since the actors
and the film company took the
great risk of making the film
knowing as they must nave done,
that a considerable portion of the
cinema going public would give it
a wide berth. In some Of the cor
dependence we have received, the
claim is being made that the film
has been banned because it is a
film, but we cannot bring
ourselves to think that such a mo-
tive would have entered into the
minds of the Board of Censors.
Their is not the duty to descend to
such a level. We however think
that the time has come when they
should be a Board of Appeal"
Every effort is being made to
get the decision squashed.
