More Naive Simplicity

According to a letter, written to the editor of the Waterbury Democrat several days ago by the Communist Party of Waterbury in response to an editorial appearing in these columns, we write with "naive simplicity. The same be- comes devastating simplicity" lower down. That may be the proper use of expressions to describe it, but there must be millions who believe the same as we do and would express themselves as we did with regard to the new Russian con- Stitution. As we said in our first article the new constitution is good one. We merely question how it will work out.
 A tip-off as to how it might work out is given in the letter sent to the editor by the Communist Party. For example, it writes. "The Waterbury Democrat forgets just one little thing and that is that in the Soviet Union there exists socialist system instead of 8 capitalist system. Opposing parties exist only in capitalist democracies where there are antagonistic classes whose interests are hostile and irreconcilable .. :" The expression, opposing parties" interests us.
 It simply means that there are, then, no opposing parties in Russia. If there is any opposition to the government as laid down by the Soviet Union, it is quickly suppressed. We still say we can tell bet ter if there is opposition in Russia to communistic government when we see whether men and women are still sent to Arctic lumber camps for disagreeing with the government and whether government criticism is tolerated. There can be no political liberty, no democracy when minorities are silenced
The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-12-12

When you buy ticket to travel on a railroad train, you do not buy seat on the train. At least that's the important ruling just handed down by Municipal Court Justice Joseph Raimo in New York City, A New York lawyer brought suit against railway company because he had to stand all the way from Albany to New York. It was his contention that having purchased a ticket to ride on the train he was entitled to seat and 1t was up to the railway company, through its employees, to provide him with one. We can remember back many years ago an old conductor on a Waterbury trolley voicing that same opinion. But evidently the law doesn't see it that way, for the judge ruled that a railroad is not com pelled to provide seats for passengers. The law says sufficient accommoda- tions," but as interpreted in New York statutes this need not mean seat.

MISS WOODS SUCCESSIN SOCIAL SERVICE
(New Britain Herald)

Miss Helen s. Wood, director of the new unemployment compensa- ton division of the state labor department, is an instance of the type of new woman every one ad- mires. After her formal education in the necessary subjects, she went into social service as career. How well she chose and how efficient she has become can be gauged from her success. There was great need of her profession during the depression.
 Miss Wood spoke at the senior high school auditorium last winter, being on the same platform with a handful of other speakers during 8 so-called forum. She made splen- did impression at the time, giving a talk loaded with factual declara- tions. Although there was a good deal of pro and con argument at the meeting, none of it was leveled at anything that was stated by Miss Wood.
 That portion of the social se- curity law which will be admins tered under the direction of Miss Wood will be well carried out-we can rest assured of that. Her ap- pointment to the position of director by Labor Commissioner Tone indi- cates once again that there is a minimum of political consideration in at least one state department.

Polish Recovery

Poland's minister of finance made a very favorable report to the opening session of the current Parliament. He forecast small surplus in the budget for the fiscal year beginning April l. He stated that Poland's depression was nearly over, with business activity rising He announced that the government found it unnecessary to devalue the monetary unit and anticipated satisfactory arrange ments with it's foreign creditors. The Polish Stock Market reacted favorably to the financial statement. Government and industrial bonds rose.
 It is pleasant to hear this news from Poland, a land which has had good many troubles because of it's geographical position between antagonistic Germany and Russia. Warsaw, for some years, has been battle-ground of diplomacy, with France, Germany and Russia contending there for influence, and with Polish cliques favoring one or another foreign group.
 In spite of all this, Poland appears to be coming out of the economic chaos of recent years with other countries. If business revival and budget surplusses could somehow be used for beginning sf greater cooperaton in Europe. civiliza- ton would get e much-needed breathing gnell.

attract the attention of her mates which have wandered away in the meantime. In response, the cocks in the neighborhood begin to cackle and the lost hen recognizes her flock by the voice of its leader. This cackling characteristic has never been bred out of our domesticated fowls. Even in their present do- mestication 1t is not uncommon for the roosters in the barnyard to set up clamor when & hen begins to cackle. Another explanation is that the actual laying of the egg causes some discomfort to the hen and the corresponding feeling of gladness (cackling) would come naturally after the discomfort disappeared.
 Q. What is the present value of the Hindenburg stamps on cards?

 A. It fell on November 25th. which was the 14th day of the Jew ish month of Kislev.
 e. Are either of the two sons of former President Plutarco Elias Gales of Mexico, governors of any of the Mexican states?
 A. One son, Rodolfo Elias Gales was formerly governor of Sonora, but does not hold the office; the other son, Aniceto Elias Gales, was a candidate for the governorship of Tamaulipas, but was not elected.

 History of America
nv nRTJCE CATTON

o4 0NOSS SHA 4 ON'
 w, E. Woodward rolls up his sleeves and has got at the story of the American people in "A New American History" (Farrar and Rinehart: $4). The move furnishes @ good deal of lively reading and enables MT. Woodward to speak his mind about some of the people and events which seem to have been bothering him.
 AS you might expect, Mir. Wood- ward is not bound by a great re- spect for tradition. He is willing to write in slangy 1886 vernacular to make his stuff forceful. This makes his book readable and provocative. even if it does sometimes sound a trifie facile and superficial.
 He does not think very, much of the Puritans, of British statesman ship in the late colonial and revo- lutionary periods of James Madi- son, Stephen A. Douglas, Jefferson Davis, or William Mckinley, of the post Civil War promoters and cap- italists, of high-tarih republicans or of the late Senator Henry Cabot Lodge.
 He is impressed less than most historians by the greatness of such men as Henry Clay. Grover Cleve- land and Theodore Roosevelt. To me the chief defect of his book seems to be that 1t becomes l In long stretches. simply a history of American politics. Its chief vir- tue Is that 1t does. in the main give Q vivid picture of the slow I painful. but steady development oi the American democracy.
 And. as I said. for all its faults the book Is very readable.
