Will He Or WOn't He?

Resignation of Judge Albert Levitt of Bedding from his position in the District Court of the Virgin Islands may cause any number of Connecticut residents to wonder just what this will mean in con- nection with the coming campaign. Two years ago Professor Levitt was engaged in special work for the Department of Jus tice, but resigned to carry on a campaign as an independent-republican. His efforts were not crowned with personal success at the polls, but are believed to have alienated any number of republican votes.
 Will the Bedding man repeat his per formance again this year. If so it will mark the third successive election in which he has participated and aided in bringing defeat to the republican party to which he remains an implacable foe. His hostility towards State Chairman J. Henry Roraback and his party-follow- CTS has been bit expensive for the utility magnate of recent years When Professor Levitt was warning on the utilities of this state and tasting defeat he must have resolved to do better at the polls. He certainly did.
 He has resigned his judgeship on the Virgin Islands, to which he succeeded last October, because of interference with the functions of the court by the island administration. The Virgin Islands must remain stormy petrel. President Hoover termed them the poor-house of the U. s. A., only to regret such rash statement, but even under President Roosevelt's ad- ministration there has been trouble in finding officials who could get along well together Whether this accounts for Professor Levitt's resignation or he yearns for the Connecticut political wars remains to be seen.

Up Go The Prices

Uncle Sam might show little more concern about flood control plans in the Connecticut river valley. Especially we think this is to be recommended when recent surveys show that construction costs have scared to such heights since it was announced that ten storage reser- voirs would be built up near the head waters of the stream. So high have these costs gone, according to General San- ford H. Wadhams, director of the Con- necticut State Water Commission, that the $10,000,000 appropriation for ten reservoirs may not prove sufficient to fi- nance their cost.
 General Wadhams ought to know what he is talking about Furthermore he is just back from survey of the regions in which the reservoirs will be built. He has also been in touch with flood con- trol engineers at Washington and else where and the situation is pretty fa- miliar to him. He pointed out that in several cases, where roads must be al- located, the cost now is greater because the roads, which were once dirt are now hard-surfaced.
 However, this news should merely lend impetus to all the plans centering around control of our rivers. The cost of such control may continue to rise, but post poning the actual work of controlling the rivers so that at flood season they may not cause in a few short hours millions of dollars worth of property damage won't prove of any real or last ing value. All agencies concerned with flood control-federal, state, and local need to unite their efforts and start the work in an active sense.

It Pays To Pay

It may seem all rlghC to run out OH your debts if you are never going to need any more favors from your creditor. But If you find yourself getting into spot where the fellow you owe is the only man in the world who can help you, your wis est course is to lay little something on the line for him with all speed, so he will permit you to run up another bill. A realization of this simple truth seems to be dawning on some of the leaders of thought in Great Britain. The result is that the American war debt, dead as the dodo all these years, is in fair way to be revived and paid, at least in part.
 The reason for this surprising change is not pricking of Britain'S commercial conscience, but bad case of fright. The European situation is full of terrorS. Britain recently found, to her humilia- ton, that the lesser breeds without the law just aren't afraid of her any more. A desperate furry of rearmament IS talk ing place as result.
 J. L. Garvin, editor of the London Ob- server, and England's most respected and influential publicist, announced the other day that England's only hope is to haul the American debt out of the bag and settle it. His argument is worth looking at. He begins by pointing out that England must rearm swiftly and exten- sively. Her very existence depends on 1t. Army, navy, and air force need vast eX- panSion and they need it at once. Eng land, however, is short of skilled labor Ill some trades, and even shorter of certain specialized kinds of machinery. The necessary rebuilding cannot be done at home within the time available.
 So, says MT. Garvin-settle the debt and do it at once, so that Americas vast manufacturing resources can be tapped. During the war, American munitions were Indispensable to British success; they are no less indispensable today. Get the debt paid, and they would become available.
 "The United States, whose potentlallty of aircraft production is equal to that or all the rest of the world put together, could supply us with thousand first line planes, or more," says MT. Garvln, with light auxiliary vessels and their armament as required by the navy under the new conditions; with much Of the equipment for the regular army and the territorials; with the gauges and machine tools which home industry alone cannot supply in sufficient quantity at the necessary speed"
 England made one miScalculatlon about that debt She assumed that the world was going to remain at peace and that John Bull would need no more help from Uncle Sam - in which case, of course, gypping Uncle Sam would be just a pleasant little game. It hasn't worked out that way. So we may yet see that debt settled-Mr. Garvin has an uncanny way of forecasting British policy - and find ourselves, too, once more tied by strong commercial ties to the fortunes of the British empire.

The subject of bridges and their con- struction is always interesting, we think. Right now the city is vitally concerned with building a new bridge across the Mad River and the New Haven road tracks at the intersection of several cross thoroughfares on Baldwin street. The present structure is among the oldest in use now in the city, if not actually the oldest of the city's numerous structures. In replacing it the city will not merely put up modern bridge of stone and concrete, but will bring the grade of the street to better level than it now has. This involves considerf )le work, as well as acquisition of nearby property to permit the necessary grading and round- ing of street corners. It's going to cost considerable, but will be well worth it. And speaking of bridges, the new one at Seymour replacing the old wooden covered bridge there across the Nauga- tuck river is well underway. Gone but not forgotten are our covered bridges.

 Of course, there are one or two in the Navy who really believe in the syp-honeycomb. Chief among them is Admiral Joseph M. Reeves, bearded eX-commander of the fleet. About one year ago Reeves son was killed in an air crash, and there was muttering that the crash was caused by sabotage.
 Ever since then Reeves has seen spies everywhere. He even issued an order prohibiting any officer or enlisted man on any ship from taking a camera aboard. The order was so grO- tesque that Washington wired to the west coast wanting to know if they had understood him cor- rectly.
 It is significant that when Reeves returned to the east coast Che is now with the Navy General Board in Washington the spy scare cropped out here.
 But that isn't the whole story. Knew FarnsWOrth \
 In the first place, the navy had known about former Lieuten- ant Commander John s. Farms worth for some time, but never had worried about him. The things he did weren't considered important. He was something of nervous and alcoholic case, as evinced by his insistent demand for a drink at the time he was arrested.
 Most of the stuff he sold to the Japanese was so valuelesS that the Japanese were foolish to buy it. This included some information regarding bomb- ing sight which he himself de- veIOped, and which was pretty well known anyway; some old signals, which are, changed every six months; and some restrict cd" news letters which although marked "confidential," are merely press summaries pre- pared for officers who don't have time to read the papers. The Japanese could have got the same information from the daily press.
 The most confidential thing Farnsworth is alleged to have sold was an out of date manual on ship maneuvering. And 1t is significant that this took place in May, one year ago, and the navy knew about 1t at the time.
 Just a Build-Up
 Farnsworth also had tried to hire himself out as naval observer to various newspapers, and this was what proved his undoing.
 A few weeks ago. a couple of newspapermen, working in cooper ation with spy-rninded Navyites and G-Boss J. Edgar Hoover, de- cided to pump lip the story. They had Farnsworth shadowed, but

apparently got nothing damag- ing. For, when they preferred charges, they had to reach back to an incident of fourteen months before.
 When the story broke, spy minded Captain w. D. Puleston, chief of Naval Intelligence, re- fused to give out information to other newspapers until 5:30 8. m., explaining that the navy had to give first break to "the exclusive author"
 Labor Leaders
 John J. Lewis and Bill Green, heads of the two great rival labor factions, use widely different methods of dealing with the press. The other day, Lewis remarked to newsmen that the United Mine Workers might suspend Green. He has been a member of the Mine Workers all his life, and OF that basis is in the A. P. of LR.
 "He could join up as a fid- dler-nike Nero" concluded the miners chief.
 Later Bill Green held his press conference, was asked what un- ion he planned to join if the min- CTS put him out.
 "You seem to be mighty wOr- ricd about that" he parked. You let me worry about 1t. Look at me! Do I look worried? Why of course I don't. And I'm not worried, either!"
 "What instruments do you play, MT. Green?" inquired an- other reporter.
 Instrument? Instrument" yelled Green. "What do you mean, instrument"
 Well, you know, MT. Lewis
 "Never mind what MT. Lewis says. I'm doing the talking. I'll think up all the wise-cracks around here."
