Whsre,. That Monumsnt?

Finland again proved to be the only one of the European nations which is in- debted to the United States of America for war loans to pay up the installment due June IS. And once again we rise to claim that to Finland is due not merely the heartfelt thanks of the American people, but recognition in some more ma teriaT form of her high regard for justly incurred debt. Something really will have to be done about this situation.
 As for the other European defaulters, nothing can quite compare with the aver age mans Scorn for their conception of debts and burdens. The amount now owed us by these debtor nations is beyond the billion dollar mark. While we don't suppose anything will be done about it by the administration, we are heartily in favor of more fortnight stand on the matter, particularly in view of the pres ent-day situation in our own country.
 We realize full well that many nations, which borrowed from us so readily in the days of the war and immediately after ward cannot perhaps find the necessary cash to cover the installmentS of their debt. But they are finding money with which to build up big armies and navies and air fleets. Preparations for war and for defense of nations continues apace. Efforts are made to entice American tour ists to foreign countries. Our dollars are eagerly sought, but not our good will.
 Standing out among these defarllting nations Finland gleams like white pearl amid sooty companions. Why doesn't Congress in the heat of 8 sultry June and an approaching democratic national convention crown it's efforts with public recognition of Finland's determination and pride. Whatever form this nnonu- ment would take would be deserved.

Constitutional Socialism

The two big parties lately are scary about amending the Constitution. But the socialists, who were first to hold their convention, are quite frank about it. They differ from the communists, who would use force and direct action. Their own social and economic aims, though revo- lutionary, are sought through the legal methods of amendments to the Consti- tuition according to the provisions of that document itself.
 Their general aims have actually been put into the form of a constitutional amendment, approved by the party lead CTS and drafted several years ago by the late Morris Hillquit of New York, which was recently introduced in Congress. It is especially interesting in the light Of recent court decisions. It reads:
 Section = The Congress shall have the power to regulate, limit and prohibit the labor of persons under 18 years of age: to limit the work-time and establish minimum compensation of wage earners in any or all occupations; to protect by law the rights of all employees to organize and bargain collectively with their enl- blowers: to provide for the relief of the aged, invalid, sick and unemployed in the form of periodical grants, pensions, benefits, compenSaJlonS or lnuennlCleS fro mthe public treasury; to establish, acquire, operate or regulate agencies for the marketing and processing of agricul- tural products; to establish, acquire and operate such natural resources, proper ties and enterprises in manufacturing, mining, commerce, transportation, bank ing and public utilities as are essential to the social and economic welfare of the people, such enterprises to be governed democratically for the benefit of the pub lie by commissions consisting of repre- sentatives of workers, consumers and technicians; and to legislate generally for the social and economic welfare of workers, farmers and consumers.
 Section - The power of the several states to enact social welfare legislation $ left unimpaired by this article, but no such legislation shall abridge or conflict with any act of Congress under this article"
 That 20O-word amendment would cer- sninly make our Governmental system very different thing from what 1t is now. Needless to Jay, it's adoption is not immi- nent.

Democratic National Committeeman Archibald McNeil of Bridgeport believes in taking page out of the republican book now and then. In recent public address he suggested that republicans of this state support Governor Cross by vot- ing for him next November. Now that's not new idea; in fact on several occa- sions it has even been suggested that the republicans save the bother of rominat- ing an opponent for the governor by placing him on their ticket, too. All of which is unusual in this old state of Con- necticut. It wasn't so many years ago that mere mention of democrat in con- nection with high state or federal office would cause any republican to look an noyed. Now they're annoyed by the fact that they don't know when they can break the present democratic grip on the state.

Coincidence or Fate

It is surely fate that has dictated this order of events. At the democratic na- tional convention in Philadelphia next week it is conceded right now that Sem ator Bennett Champ Clark of Missouri will be chairman of the committee on rules and order of business. One of the Important matters (from democratic party Standpoint) to come before this committee will be change in the time honored democratic custom of insisting on a two-thirds vote of the national dele gates to insure nomination.
 This hallowed piece of party legislation is slated to hit the skidS. After many long years of use and disuse it will be scrapped and in its place established the majority rule, such as is followed in every legislative group or gathering where par liamentary procedure is followed. Demo- cratS have attempted before, of course, to get rid of the two-third rule and always failed, so they might even again this year, but the cards seem stacked for the quick demise of rule that is as old as the party itself.
 We say that fate intervenes because Senator Clark is the son of the famous Champ Clark who at the democratic con- v0ntion of 1912 would have been r1omi- mated instead of the late ex-president Woodrow Wilson had the majority and not the two-thirds rule prevailed. Champ Clark enjoyed majority for nine ballots at that famous convention held in Balti- more. He never received the necessary two-thirds and the convention went on to nominate Wilson, followed, of course, by his two terms in the White House.
 Senator Clark recently stated, "The ad- administration wants the change and I'm sure 1t will be made. The two-thirds rule goes against every democratic principle of government am violently opposed to 1t. !" He also pointed out that in addition to his father Martin Van Buren in 1848 lost the nomination after enjoy ing majority vote on one ballot. In 1924, of course, majority might easily have swung the nomination to William Gibbs McAdoo, who needed only 25 votes at one time for this margin. There'll be opposition to the change, but the major ity will carry in the end.

1t seems raw, but there are much rawer things in politics.
 Any national campaign calls for 8 huge expenditure of money. Natur- ally, the chief contribution burden must fall upon members of the party who hold some sort of govern rnent position or state position. The men and women who draw large salaries are expected, or, rather, compelled, to contribute literally. It is not healthy for them to remain indifferent to the needs of the party.
 In the present case criticism is centered on the fact that the small fellow, who holds a very minor rou- tine government or state position, is confronted with what amounts to Q demand for at least @ contri- button of $l. The fact that tickets to an alleged rally are exchanged for the contribution means nothing. It is essentially 8 holdup.
 But republican administrations in the past taught the democrats how to do it. If republican fund raiSers never solicited the small govern rnent employees it was because they could always raise money enough fro mthe big fellows, the business and corporation interests and rich men seeking diplomatic appoint ments.
 The democrats will not get much money this year from business men They are hostile for the most part Also, the East, which is the real source of large contributions, is not friendly to the New Deal, or, at least, not friendly enough to con- tribute to Q campaign fund.
 In 1892 the democrats did have some very generous contributions from men like John J. Raskob and others. Most of them are not inter- ested enough in the party to con- tribute this year.
 Campaign expenses are far higher than those not on the inside realize Governor Curley alone spent more than $l0,000 for Roosevelt in 1882 AAC 0CAAAUCAuto WAA AACC0 VU raise around $300,000 in Massachusetts for the republicans will doubtless match that sum.
 Money raising is a cold, practical business. Few people are enthusias- tic contributors. Only those who ex- pect some substantial reward, and who have already been given some choice berth, give liberally and will ingly. The small fellow, whether he is a democrat or a republican, must be, in way, coerced into giving up The republican money raisers are ir no position to put the pressure or this year as in the past. The demo- crats are.
 It is, of course, illegal for fedora employees to take any part in rais- ing funds. But this law has beer consistently violated in the past, anc will be in the future.

IA Book a Day
When Oscar Wilde
 Met the Wild West
By BRUCE CATION

One of the, oldest items in Arn- erican history is the fact that Oscar Wilde, complete in velvet jacket. knee pants, silk hose, and flowing locks that fell to his shoulders, was able to deliver lectures on esthetics in the mining camps of the Ameri- can wild west without getting shot.
 He did it. back in the 80, and like other British lecturers, before and since -cashed in handsomely, despite the fact that his audiences never quite figured out what he was talking about.
 There is a rich account of his American tour in "Oscar Wilde Dis- covers America" by Lloyd Lewis and Henry Justin Smith (Harcourt Brace: s4.60).
 Wilde was brought over partly as 6 gag. The Gilbert and Sullivan opera, Patience" was a satire on Wilde and his cult of esthetes. It was opening in New York, and its packers felt that the American pub- lie would warm up to it better if they got 6 look at the man who was being eatIrlzed.
 It was an odd bit of business.

CELTIC CONDEMNS MIsREPRE- SANITATION BY "TRTSH RE- PUBLICAN ARMY" DELEGATES
 Waterbury, Conn.

ODAANkAAN GA6eAvA 4 OA1AAAsNNEA9A 9 ASS
 Waterbury, Conn.
 June IS, 19sS. Editor, Waterbury Democrat:- I would appreciate 1t very much if you would have the following pub- lished in the columns of your wide- ly read newspaper, regarding the action taken by 8 few individuals who acted, or purported to act, as 8 delegation of the Irish Republican Army" at the funeral of a very pop- ular young man who died recently. It must be borne in mind that there IS no reflection being cast on the deceased, or any members of his family.
 As far as have learned he be- longed to 8 respectable family.
 Now the grievance of the matter is-that those persons" took upon themselves to act as a delegation of the Irish Republican Army, have misrepresented themselves by claim ing affiliation with any such organ ization.
 There is no such Irish club in this city as those persons claimed to represent, excepting the "Clan-r1a- Gael and the I. R. A. club, the ofii- cers of which are in Q position to know that those alleged persons do not belong to this organization, nor have they ever been connected with 1t.
 Thanking you for the space given this letter, am
 Yours sincerely, CELTIC"

In New York
By GEORGE ROSS

New York, June 18--Much of the gadabout news gathered in New York is garnered from people in the public eye who are just passing through. The natives like to listen to Q strangers snap judgment and 1t can be truthfully said that the visiting celebrity is not loath to dish 1t out.
 Greeted at the rail of the ship, he thinks the skyline is wonder full" At the railroad terminal, he declares the city & "bustling Tower of Babel" At the airport, he awaits Manhattan with anticipation" Over highball in his hotel room, he finds the town exciting and exhausting."
 Catch up with him after 24 hours and he has a great deal more to tell you. The last shipment of cele- brated sightseerS from all over has been especially entertaining. Among the miscellaneous visitors was Jean C0cteau, the French poet, painter and arch-rebel of the arts, who is making an 80-day trip around the world, in the Jules Verne manner.
 With limited time in Manhattan, the Parisian Esthete selected, of all places, Minsky's Burlesque as the whirligig typifying Gotham. Tt was mangnificent," he said when he came out, 1t looked like the pie lures of Rubens and Titian." He would have had to smile, had he said that to strip tease dancer. Along Milky Way
 What else intrigued the Qallic gallavant? Well, he is interested in New York's skyscrapers Gas who isn'O and Q rotolactor machine, outside of Princeton, that with sev- eral swoopE, bathes, soothes, cuddles and milks contented COWS. Mons. Cocteau also likes Manhattan's cafeterias and his Mexican beaded sandals.
 Another of the visiting firemen twas Robert Taylor, Hollywood's newest wonder boy, who is seeing the Big town for the first time in his life. Interviewers have found him incredulous and stary eyed about almost everything. The city's traffic arnazes him and he gets scared every time he has to walk through the lsbyrinthian corridors of the vast hotel lobby where he is stopping. He found his first ride in the subway as exciting as the first take-oh in an airplane and night club full if continuous excitement. | The last time he was called into consultation, young, handsome Tay- Tor said that he was determined to brave taxi dance hall on his own and that one day he was going to step up to Q sprinting pedestrian and calmly ask where to the poor, perSpiring devil was rushing.
 Long Way to Hollywood
 | Over at the broadcasting stu- dioS, relates Nellie Revell, they are having some trouble with Eddie Cantor's fan mail. It seems that although the banjo-eyed Eddie has temporarily retired from the ether fan letters still arrive in sackfuls land are rerouted to the firm that sponsored him. From there, the billets go to the Cantor domicile on Long Island. But Eddie isn't home and so they are sent back to the Cantor office in Manhattan. But this is closed, also and then mail man Jugs the burden over to Eddie's agent. This worthy, it appears, has his offices directly below the studios whence they were first exiled and where he finally re-deposits them The denouement being-that the fan mail is ultimately reforwarded by the radio station to Cantor's house in Hollywood.
