New Job For Morgan

There are many angles to that muni- tions probe going on in Washington. Some of the implications of the Morgan quiz seem to be overlooked, Poring over the matter, we seem to get the germ of an idea. J. P. Morgan, 1t develops, not only lends money. He also collects 1t. And in the long run the latter activity is more important than the former. Look what he did in those early days of the World War.
 He lent hundreds of millions to the Allies, particularly Great Britain. Then, as the war dragged on and grew in size and cost, collections began to drag a little, too So what did the canny J. F. do? He helped arrange an American loan for Great Britain, and when Britain got the necessary credits, one of the first things she did was to take care of these American bankers. J. P. got his loans back - every dollar of them.
 Uncle Sam now is holding the bag. It is very large, loose bag. But maybe the case Is not so hopeless as 1t seems. Our own humble notion is that If any power in America can collect now from those foreign debtors, 1t is this same canny old private banker. Why not turn the job over to J. P. and let him try?

No More Favoritism

Auto law laxity is due in the main, at least in Connecticut, to "favoritism shown to particular persons and the out- side pressure brought to bear upon po- lice and court officials. ." This is the sum and substance of a report filed with Governor Wilbur l.. Cross by commis- sion on street and highway safety. Chief Justice William M. Maltbie is chairman of his group.
 The report further states that "There can be no assurance of reasonable Safety in automobile traffic unless police and the courts enforce the motor laws fairly and effectively. '" But there are laws and laws. We certainly wouldn't recom- mend the fullest publicity" nor the heaviest punishment for those motorists who fall a prey to so-called roadside jus tice, There are too many law enforce ment agents in this state who see in the law an instrument for personal and town good.
 We don't need to go into any lengthy discussion of this side of the situation. Everyone is aware of the fact that in some towns justice is meted out fairly to the person who actually does break the motor vehicle laws. But by the same token the pendulum is apt to swing to one extreme in another section Of the state where officials are over zealous in their anxiety to average so many arrests per day or week.
 If favoritism be shown in many cases to-day, as it certainly is; if there be lax ity on the part of enforcement agents, as unquestionably there is; If outside pressure is brought to bear on police and court officials, as probably there is, then there might be traced down grain of cause for the above conditions That they should be eliminated, no one will doubt. That there should be an accom- panying jacking-up of small town justice is also indicated. Let the two come hand in hand.

Weather Relativity

It all depends on your point of view The January weather struck most of us as being pretty cold. If we had been living in Antarctica, we wouldn't have thought so. There, when the thermometer hit zero, 1t was the signal for shedding clothes and doing war dance, unadorned, out in the open. Cold for Little Americans be- gins at forty below.
 Next summer temperature will reach the nineties, and we shall all sWelter. All of us, that is, except possible visitors from the Danakil country of Ethiopia. There the thermometer has been known to go as high as 1e8 degrees. Some day scientist will find way of bottling up weather. Then the Ethiopian explorer can take along carboys of Antarctic weather, and Admiral Byrd will carry Death Valley ex- tract That would settle all our weather troubles except one: what to complain about Is we can no longer complain about the weather

Aircraft Boom

The aircraft industry in California is enjoying a building boom. Trained mechanics and aeronautical engineers are at premium. Some are being im- ported from the East. The rush is caused by orders for millions of dollars worth of airline equipment, Army and Navy contracts and new commercial planes.
 This cheerful situation has gloomy side over which "realists in the business" shake their heads. The activity about which they boast at the moment is re- garded as seasonal. Some of the con- tracts will be completed within a few months. Some will run as long as two years. The demand for skilled workmen is expected to taper off one of these days. Companies now preparing to double their payr0lls will be cutting them in half again. "It has happened before, 1" says one observer, 'and all except the perennial op- timists expects it to happen again"
 There is something distressing in this attitude. Now would seem to be good time for the aircraft industry, n Califor- mia and elsewhere. to plan ahead, to pro

Of Again, On Again

States Attorney Arthur M. Brown Of New London county is announced once more as a receptive candidate for the g.o.p. gubernatorial nomination. If this keeps on the gentleman will be known as the party'S perennial favorite. Two years ago he was regarded as very much an ac- tive contender for the nomination, until he came along himself and spoiled 1t all by withdrawing his name. That made It possible for another states attorney, the gentleman from Hartford county, Hugh Alcorn, to make the run.
 Already this year MT. Brown has been made New London's favorite son, but once more he seized time by the forelock and announced his unwillingness to run for office. But this week it develops that the gentleman will accept the nomina- tion if offered to him. Whether or not this upsets any of Editor Bodenwein's plans for New London county and the state republican ticket remains to be seen. There are those who claim that the New London Day publisher has de- signs on second place on the ticket him. self.
 If States Attorney Brown were to be elevated to the top place on the ticket, 1t certainly would be too much to expect C1lc SeCouu PidCC diSO to 6o Co VlAV oe'aA'S county. And with the recent death of State Senator Cornelius Costello of Gro ton another likely contender for place on the g.o.p. ticket-probably comptrol- ler-has been removed. That leaves only Brown and Bodenwein New London county's hopefuls. If the party sticks to the law, 1t will ask States Attorney Brown to accomplish what his more fa- nous confrere failed to do-unseat the democrats.

q wasn't there," said Governor Wilbur L. Cross when questioned as to the cor rectness of his statement lon the Maine. Governor Cross recently issued his Maine Day proclamation and in the course of his remarks stated. -. "who were killed in the explosion on the Maine. Those who heard 1t were quick to pick up the phrase Ion the Maine" and ask the gov- ernor if he didn't mean under the Maine. Whereupon answered His Ex- celJency, T wasn't there". To which he added, "So I don't know. But no one can doubt there was an explosion on the Maine." That's right, governor, there was an explosion all right and 1t must t governor was fairly safe in using the proposition he did.

Weather statistics of this winter reveal that 1t isn't the worst we have had around these parts. Those who can recall the winter of 1917-18 will probably remember the endless days of bitter cold that struck all New England, It was in the war time and what with the weather and the war privations there was plenty of silent suf- fering in this city as well as in many others. There was one period of about a week when the average temperature was constantly below zero. Remember how all the train schedules were disrupted? That was cold weather!
The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-02-13

The Connecticut Manufacturers' Association and tho New Haven Road opposed at the recent hearing proposals for tho creation Of Con- necticut River Authority with cofn- plete Jurisdiction over pollution, and river navigation from Hartford to Springfield. They also opposed the S50O0,00c plan for building Q dam and locks around Enfield Rapids and opening @ i2-foot channel.
 Objection to Federal control of the river in the matter of pollution was that such power might be used unreasonably to the manu- lecturers and subject them to a species of tyranny. That may be valid, depending, Of course, upon the scope of such control and the manner of its exercise. The Valley states doubtless would prefer to keep such control in their own hands. To be assured of keeping 1t they should show more activity and mutual enc deavor than they have in tho past.
 The railroad company expressed belief that if the improvement were carried out the loss of it's business to waterborne carriers would be SC. rious, The consideration is import. ant in view of the present condi- ton of the railroad.
 The plan was opposed, further, on the ground that the public purse is now too flat to afford the expen- allure of S6,000,000 for Q question. able project involving maintenance costs of approaching se0000 Q year and implying increase of the tax burdens.
 It should be possible to estimate with fair precision the amount of benefit which Springfield would re- ceive from the establishment of Q 12-foot channel.
 The Massachusetts city has long flirted with the idea of river ia- provement. It has seen itself as Q seaport, with steamships from Eu- rope at it's piers. Hartford. which saw the difficulty with which it's own steamboat line to New York was kept alive-finaily lost-did not share in that view of the possibili- ties. When Springfield was put to the test of furnishing piers and other navigation adjuncts as Q pre- lirninary to federal aid 1t did not rise to it's opportunity.
 For that and other reasons Hart ford has looked with coolness on the idea that better navigation fa- cilities would be found useful.

 It is well therefore to re.appraise the situation and seek to determine whether the advantages to be gained, if any, arc worth the cos of improving and maintaining th channel. That may well be the solo consideration.
 Tho Federal government Is spend- ing millions for public works In other sections of the country. Con. necticut and Massachusetts are tax cd to maintain such expenditures, If not spending 9b,000,000 here would only mean that an equal sum would be spent in some other sec- ton, the taxpayers get no relief.
