The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-11-17


Might Be
In justice TO the Merry-Go-
Founders, however, there may
well be some foundation for their
comment on Mr.. Doyle's appoint
ment although the objection to
its making could have come from
laymen rs well Is high church
offlcials." For 0 long time now
the American Ambassador to
Mexico, Josephus Daniels, has
been In very bad odor with Catho-
lies, clerical and lay. In this
country because Of stupid praise
repeatedly made in public OF the
existing government south OF the
Rio Grande. His recall has been
suggested again and again be-
cause It Is commended that utter
ances which he has made not only
constitute approval Of Mexican
governmental actions which
Catholics the world over resent
but which also, by reason OF his
official standing, are interpreted
In Mexico as voicing the appro-
baton OF the nation which Mr..
Daniels represents. This In Catho-
lie quarters is looked upon not so
much as o proof of Josephus' big
otry as an indication that he Is
too dumb to handle successfully q
most difficult diplomatic post.
Philadelphia Tea Party
When the Democratic National
Convention was being held In
Philadelphia Ambassador Daniels
happened to be In the city.
Whereupon Mr.. Michael Francis
Doyle threw O tea party or
some sort Of swanky blowout In
Mr.. Daniels honor. Invitations
to drink o flagon Of orange pekoe
with the ambassador were par
celled out to the various import
ant delegates. Members Of the
Connecticut delegation were thus
honored but failed TO attend. At
the time IL was remarked that,
with campaign In the ofilng and
the possible capital which could
have been made Of the incident by
the republican smear squad, Mr..
Doyle had let his sense Of hospi-
tally get away with his savvy..
Competing with the doings OF the
national convention as an item Of
news II Is not strange that Mr..
Doyle's fiesta went unnoticed by
the press. Nevertheless II Ia with
In the possibilities that someone
remembered the episode and when
Mr.. Doyle's name was mentioned
as o delegate to the Buenos Aires
conference let Il be known that
O gentleman Of SO little discretion
was not such o hot choice. Es-
pecially In view OF the fact that
the Gardenas regime Is not great
ly beloved In South American
countries where there is o turbu-
lent Communist movement and
where any friend OF q friend OF
the present Mexican government
must be an undesirable conferee.
Mr.. Doyle Is o friend Of Arnbas-
sador Daniels. Ambassador DAN
iels on occasions has been q loose
Ynouthed booster for the Ccinmu-
mist government In Mexico, which
Is hated bitterly In South Amer
lea. Therefore Mr.. Doyle would
DO unwelcome. But why blame
the objection to his appointment
on church officials however high
or OF whatever description. The
squawk, II there was one, might
have come from two different sets
Of people. those who got invita-
tions to the Doyle tea party went.
and didn't like the tea, and those
who weren't invited and whose
shoots have been out Of joint ever
since.
There Is No Peace
The news comes that O couple
Of shiploads OF representatives OF
the League for Equal Rights for
Women are enroute to Buenos
Aires. The high seas are loaded
with steamers bearing two sets OF
Equal Fighters to the Peace Con-
ference who cannot agree on what
they want, how they are to get
what they want, or what to do
with what they get when they
get II. Reading over the list OF
names In the respective camps
this department can see no hope
OF peace for anyone. Particularly
for the male delegates TO the
meeting. What Is going to hap
pen when the American cargoes
OF battling feminlnity pile into
the conference hall no one but o
war correspondent can visualize
and no one but o hlow.by-blow
prize fight reporter can describe.
n the peace advocates are wise
they will pull of their sessions IN
the nearest and largest bull ring
where blood is o familiar sight
and where there are barriers be-
hind which violent death may DO
avoided. A trip to the warmth OF
the tropics seems especially M
yiting Just now and no one would
welcome one more than ]. But
knowing what can happen TO the
guy In between when two gangs
Of wild-eyed feminists get hoped
up to the knock-down drag-out
state am content TO remain IN
the chilly northland. What the
women roaring down to Buenos
Aires want which they haven't
got now Is o mystery to me. Il
would seem that they desire not
equal rights with men but to DO
treated like men. II they get
their desire goodbye to all that
makes this grirny world halfway
tolerable. And II Mr.. Michael
Francis Doyle wants O nice pleas.

transportation to the Pan Amer

passage at once to Madrid.
