The Waterbury Democrat. [volume] (Waterbury, Conn.) 1917-1946, 1936-12-19

The most familiar expression in Water
bury today is - have you little bonus
in your home? If you haven't, then
something is radically wrong. It's fine to
read and hear about local industrial con-
Germs doing these things for their help.
We only hope that it is just the beginning
of good times and not false alarm. 1t
can be permanent, if we are not over
come by better conditions and if we re-
call the pitfalls that were our undoing a
decade ago.

The one thing that we might mention
as missing this year is large number of
Santa Clauses. Remember the days when
you'd stumble across one on every street
corner. How the kids used to vex you
with questions as to how Santa Claus
could have so many assistants. Well, it's
a relief to find oriy one or two of them,
because nothing can put fond parent
on the spot like the query of bright-eyed
offspring

Selected Poem
WINTERSMOON

WINTEKSMUUN
Frederick Ebright in the Christian
Science Monitor)
These trees were never lovelier than now,
Emptied of leaves. waiting and still,
Lifting delicate black tracery on twig and bough
Against the cold blue aerial arch OF night,
The moon, glittering and chill,
Enameing Its silver luster on the sparkle Of frost
rime,
Keen winter stars suspended sharp. damond-bright,
Transfixed and quietly sublime
And here on these walks, unbelievable sight!
Brighter by far than any day,
Walks that at noon are ordinary gray
Now hold the shadows OF stark trees
Imposed In fine black frieze
Upon O ground Of purest silver white.

Seek to Break Italian
Morale as Rains Set in

DESSYE, Ethiopia, Jan. TO-
(UP).-Ethiopian warriors, their
fury at white heat after months
of FESTIVE restraint are attacking
the Italians on all fronts, reports
to the emperors war headquar-
tiers today indicated. Aided by
rains pouring weeks before they
are due, warriors are reported at
lacking at every possible front,
hoping to break the Italian NOR
ale. which is believed here to be
below par.
Reports to headquarters told to-
day of an Ethiopian humiliation
of an italian tank and machine
gun detachment on the far south
ern front, in which many Italians
were killed and one officer cap
tured. The reports said the Eth
opians used tanks, and these were
believed to be the ones captured
long ago at Anale and recondi-
toned for use against their or
ginal owners.
From the northern front there
were reliable indications that Eth
ioplans were generally successful
in a number of minor engage
ments and that the Italians were
unable to halt the fierce attacks
of the warriors.

ROOSEVELT ANALYzES
PURPOSE OF POLICY

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10. (UP)
Analysing his national farm pro-
gram, President Roosevelt today
described his agricultural program
as meaning controlled production
rather than any form of export
subsidies.
Hewing to the general AAA
line of crop production control as
the solution of the nations farm
problem and pointing out that
subsidies probably would lead to
the widespread use of land unfit
for cultivation, the president
said: "We must avoid any nation
al agricultural policy that will re-
suit in shipping our soil fertility
to foreign lands"
Roosevelt discussed the admin
istration's agricultural problems
as affecting the nation as whole,
without referring to the AAA de-
cision. He added that the admin
istratiori will try for legislation to
carry out the general thought that
of retaining and regaining soil
fertility and keeping farm prices
stabilized. He emphasized that he,
as president, must think of the
country's future and that unlimit-
ed production would result posi-
tiveiy in the loss of soil fertility
in q generation or two.

Roosevelt Holds This Ulti-

Agricultural Policy
THINKS SUBSIDIES
WOULD NOT BENEFIT

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10. (UP)
Secretary of Agriculture Wallace
today pointed the way toward re-
placement of the destroyed AAA
through soil conservation, calling
upon farmers of the nation at
large to bend their efforts toward
solution of the problem. Facing
one hundred farm leaders, he
summoned to the capital to aid in
rebuilding the Roosevelt admins
tration's agriculture keystone, the
secretary dashed "obstructionists"
and indicated the AAA solution
may lie in production and control
through a soil conservation pro-
gram.
He urged that any. program
agreed upon should take into con-
sideration the "full protection of
consumers and the longtime con-
servation of our SOIL"
Experts of the agriculture de-
partment who are studying the
United States Supreme courts de-
cision noted that no restriction
was placed on flat appropriations,
nor was there any ruling on the
validity of flat processing taxes.
If the situation remains the
same after the Louisiana rice mil
lers tax cases are ruled on money
could be appropriated for subsidy
payments to those carrying out
the. soil conservation suggestions
OF for land rental, payments.
