Ohio Farmers To Get AAA
Contract Checks

Appropriation by congress OF
1896, ,185,000 made possible the pay
ment to Ohio farmers of sums due
them for participation in the crop
adjustment program, according to
III. C. Ramsower, director of exten-
sion work.
Members of the o. s. U. staff who
have supervised the different pro-
grams say that the payments will be
made as soon as the necessary cler-
ical work and the checking OF COM
pliance on some contracts can be flIl-
ished. The state AAA staff was CIV
en- leave without pay after the su-
preme court decision on January 8,
and it will take some time to assem-
BILE the force again.
Ohio growers of tobacco and
sugar beets will get checks first, as
the work on those contracts had
been completed before the adverse
court decision stopped payment.
PAYMENTS on corn-hog contracts
will be made after the growers
compliance has been checked and
the accounts certified.
Chester C. Davis, AAA admins
traitor, says approximately $215,-
$4,000 will be expended in the
United States to discharge obliga-
tions resulting from contracts enter
ed into during the 1895 and prior
adjustment programs. The appro-
priation also includes funds for dis
charging moral obligations to pro-
ducers, who, conforming to the pro-
grams for 1886 crops, had complied
with the requirements of these pro-
grams, although they had not ac-
tually entered into contracts prior
to the decision of the supreme court
on January 6. This work will be in
addition to activities of the AAA re-
lating to marketing agreements and
orders, removal of surplus farm
products, increasing export markets,
and eradication of diseases in dairy
and beef cattle In the opinion Of
the U. S. department of agriculture,
the supreme courts decision did not
affect the provisions of the adjust
ment act relating to these pro-
grams

The men on the campus were
more perturbed about the proposal

seemed to be confident that there
was no strike pending. John
Jimmyer, Baltimore junior and
president of his class for the past
two years, said:

physiological effects Of kissing,
most of them expressed a belief
that it was worth the risk.

Bang Goes The Bonus"

Unamended and in it's simplest form the so-called "bonus" bill has once more passed the House of Representatives We don't know how many bills, designed >along different lines but with the same purpose have passed through Congress since 1919, but 1t seems to this writer as if the administrations of Harding, Cool idge, Hoover, and even Roosevelt have been one long endless procession of them. In President Roosevelt's term the bonus" has now been passed twice by the House. A year ago efforts to pay off the veterans almost succeeded. But the presidential veto was not overcome in the Senate, although the House did override it.
 There seems to be an undercurrent of feeling in Washington right now that ''bonus" bill, if reasonable, nevertheless, paying off in full the 3,500,0O0 veterans now holding adjusted service certificates, will get by the White House. If, for some reason or other, it is vetoed, there is also a pretty firm conviction in observers minds that the veto will not hold for long. Congress is not likely to fool around with the 3,50O,000 votes. represented by the veterans themselves this year, 1886, with an election in the offing.
 As to the need of paying the "bonus" there should be nothing more that we can say on the topic. It's debt of honor, even though adversaries have managed to so becloud the real intent of the fed- eral government that most people think the "bonus" is one; in fact, when that is merely convenient term applied to it for want of something better. Uncle Sam actually owes the veterans the money represented by service certificates We don't doubt but what in many in- stances much more is actually owed, if we take into consideration interference with normal earning capacity of thous- ands of men, once able-bodied by the more fortunate of us The "bonus" needs no defense; it speaks for itself.

Public lingo No. 1

Senator Gerald Nye spent his recess between the last and the present sessions of Congress nosing about in Japan ana the Philippines, and he told a newspaper man recently that the Japanese people have no desire whatever for war with the United States. And yet, at the same time, he discovered that it is fear of just such war which is egging on the Japanese to build up their fleet, get their fighting planes ready, and prepare generally to make things warm for anybody who starts anything.
 They aren't afraid of Russia = tense as the situation along the Manchukuan border may be - and they aren't afraid of England. They are desperately afraid of the United States, because they think that the American people are stealthny and methodically moving for JapanS destruction. Now if you take this bit of news and tack it up on the wall alongside any candid discussion of Americas sentl- ment in regard to Japan, you will make an interesting discovery. You will flno out that the most dangerous thing 1n all the world can be plain, old-fashioned, unreasoning fear.
 No American needs to be told that his nation does not want war with Japan. The ordinary American has no more de- sire to fight the Japanese than he has to fly to the moon. But if you question him, he will probably admit that such light may very well take place before many years have passed. And why! Because the evil and untrustworthy Jap anese want it to take place, of course.
 In other words, fear is pushing each nation toward war. There is a wide ocean between them, they are excellent customers of each other, there is every reason why they should be friends and no reason at all - no good one, such as friendly discussion cannot remove - why they should be enemies. Yet each year sees them drifting closer to war, because each is afraid of the other.
 There is good deal of danger in situation like that, because fear makes people suspicious, and suspicion increases their fear, and if they get frightened enough they are apt to start shooting from pure nervousness. But there is also reason to be very thankful that the situ- ation is no worse
 For if these mutual fears are ground less, they can be removed. Japan and America are not Germany and a France, divided by bitter memories of attack, bloodshed, invasion, and wrong; they are two countries that can more easily live in mutual friendship than otherwise, once they are persuaded to put away their fears. Persuading them to do that is a job which ought not to be too hard for the statesmen of both lands.

petent democrats of this state by refusing to name only republicans to public offices. When Governor Cross was elected he i1n- rnediately started out to even up things by giving democrats representation where they were entitled to it. Perhaps an ideal means of passing out political plums can never be achieved. Certainly it is better to recognize merits, regardless of political affiliations than to swing all the way in the opposite direction.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-01-11

Everything's wrong with the WPA ad- ministration in West Haven, if we are to take State Senator John F. Lynch's word for it. Senator Lynch, who is the acknowledged g.o.p leader in New Haven county, if not in other sections, too, re- gently delivered himself of quite tirade against the WPA in his own community. Political interference is the trouble, he declares. We don't doubt but what there is considerable to what he says. All of which only goes to prove that the most ambitious program ever taken for relief of the unemployed can fall flat when it strikes the human equation.

Might Be Misunderstood

We're taking it for granted that when both Governor Wilbur L. Cross and State Welfare Commissioner Frederick c. Wal colt addressed the Connecticut League of Women Voters in Hartford this week on the subject of civil service they were not attempting to overthrow their re- spective party .shackles. Both the demo- cratic and republican parties maintain their holds on all forms of government, local, county, state, and federal by use Of what has been known for many years as the spells system. It consists Of award ing to persons of the same political affil- iations as the elected ones the appointive positions.
 Theoretically it is all right. Practically it doesn't always work the way you want 1t. However, that is often as much the fault of the man who does the appoint ing as the appointeee. Whenever an of- ficial is elected who promises to clean out all inefficient government workers, he is usually hailed as the exponent of civil service. A good many men don't espouse the cause of civil service, because they know it spells the end of their party or ganization. Others adopt civil service code of their own which if followed faith fully, produces the same effect.
 A good many people are misled when such phrases as this one of Governor Cross are quoted. He said this week, Tt is too bad that we cannot always select men and women for public service on their competence" That remark could be twisted many ways. It does not mean, however, that in the ranks of all political parties there aren't men and women who are competent to hold appointive posi- lions in our government. There are and always will be. The political party that considers itself to have corner on off, cial competence is short-sighted.

Waterbury will rejoice with Bridgeport in the centennial celebration of the lat ter. It started officially this week and will be continued for some time with an elaborate program planned for the occas- ion. In view of the fact that the state has just concluded it's tercentenary year Bridgeport will be right in line to emulate her. Waterbury will be the next city to celebrate it's centennial as city. We received our papers in 1853. Meriden follows us in 1867. However, in actual age Waterbury goes all the way back to 1686, so it can be seen that Waterbury's real age, as compared with that of the state itself, is quite relative. Waterbury, although one might not believe it to look at it's modern homes, factories, and buSi- ness houses, is one of the really old com munities in Connecticut.
