Four Corners of Elwood Matthews, 68,
wealthy landowner, who was mur-
dered the night of November 81.

cies of Montgomery County and the
State of West Virginia were combined
with facilities of the Federal Bureau

Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt drew
some caustic comments yesterday
from speakers for the League Of Re-

resumed its regular monthly meetings
at the Mayfiower Hotel.
Critical references to the activities
of the Presidents wife followed re-
marks by John Marshall, former As

Coolidge administration. He included

of which he is chairman, Reed ques-
toned the good faith" of President
Roosevelt's condemnation Of ECO
nomic royalists" and asked whether
that criticism was not "a hypocritical
and contemplate pretense intended
to arouse class hatred and mislead
the people"
Turning to the question of social
Justice" Reed told his audience the
term itself was borrowed from in
ternatonalists of the Old World" and
is the creed of the Communists of
America and of every man who wants
to appropriate the labor and property
Of another for his own benefit"
THE fathers of the republic" he
said, declared we hold these truths
TO be self-evident, That all men are
created free and equar-'all have the
right to life, liberty and the pursuit
of happiness Translated into other
but not more forcible language that
means that from birth to death every
man is entitled to live his own life
think his own thoughts;
to garner, possess and keep the fruits
Of his own industry and toll. 1t does
not mean that he shall be born into
regimented State; that mis-
hours of labor shall be restricted;
that the property he creates shall be
taken from him by a tyrannical Gov
ernment and distributed to others"
Reed said the New Deal program
had shown such restrictive effects
and had fostered monopoly for the
benefit of big business.
After detailing what he said was
President Roosevelt's connection with
several large corporations, Reed de-
MED any intent to criticize such Or
ganizations.
What I do criticize" he said, "is
Mr.. Roosevelts attempt to array our
people into classes and to bring de-
nunciations against the very inStitu-

Asuggestion was forthcoming last week
from Fairfield County that movement
should be started to reform county gov
eminent. The idea Is to place before the
1887 Legislature such proposals as will
bring about many needed changes In the
present county government set-up. We
learned at the same time that other
county officials, outside OF Fairfield
county, weren't too sympathetic with the
plan. AS a matter of fact we see little or
noneed for reforming our present county
government. II anything should be done
about II, 1t might be eliminated COM
pletely.
And perhaps II the proposed plan to
use q farm instead of county jails goes

Interest Rates

1t sounds rather rough when the Fed
eral Trade Commission charges financ-
ing companies with incorporating the
interest rates, in their financing credit
charges for automobiles and other goods
bought on deferred payment plans. The
actual cost TO the buyer, 1t says, Is usually
not 8 per cent as indicated, but about IL
per cent. This discrepancy comes from
figuring the interest on the full amount
Of the principal for the whole time during
which payments are made, disregarding
the fact that with every monthly pay
mert the principal Is lowered.
In ordinary commercial banking prac-
tice, whenever payment Is made on the
principal OF loan, the payment Is de-
Quoted and interest Is then figured on the
new principal. Thus person who got
commercial loan at bank to buy car,
regularly making monthly payments and
signing new notes for the balance, II the
bank was satisfied to make such loans,
would pay only about half as much.
The financing companies subject to
this criticism will probably reply that
they are not doing regular commercial
banking, but are giving a special type of
credit service which cannot be handled
more cheaply. Also that current charges
are less than half of what they used to be.
The accusation, however, Is made not so
much against the rate charged as against
Misrepresentation of the rate as 1t Is
popularity understood.

counties would meet with opposition. We
don't even think IL could pass our incon1-
ing Legislature. Some day we think such
a proposal will be approved.
Personally we don't believe in empha-
sizing the need Of county government.
What we should do In Connecticut today
Is to point out the need for less govern
ment. People have enough TO contend
with In the form of local, state, and
national governments without inflicting
other political subdivisions upon them.
The sooner we get rid Of the habit Of set
ting up political divisions for various
purposes, the sooner we will arrive at that
paradise Of taxpayers where low rates
prevail and the taxpayers do not suffer
for want Of improvements.

Breadless Germany

Some one in the Nazi government
needs lessons in the use OF statistics.
When Hitler and his advisers worked out
the Four-Year Plan for establishing Ger
man self-sufficiency, they used the wrong
set OF figures for gain production. Der
Fuehrer's accession to power happened
to coincide with two record crops Of wheat
and rye. Peasants were required to
deliver annually to the government fixed
amounts Of bread grains, based on those
unusually high yields. Since then,
although acreage under cultivation has
increased, poor crops have lowered the
total output.
The unpleasant results include short
age of 1000, 900 tons of wheat, which will
have to be imported, and 100000 tons
of rye, which will have to be taken out OF
the feed supply. This, In turn, will han
dicap future planting and imperil pork
and other meat supplies. Some peasants
have refused to comply with the sharing
order and have been eating their grain
themselves and feeding much OF 1t TO
stock.
They are told that any peasant who
does this will be denounced as traitor.
Traitors to the Nazi regime do not fare
much better than Russian traitors. 1t is
difficult for Germany to buy grain in
foreign markets because she lacks cash
and credit and because other govern
ments are short and are buying too. In
the meanwhile, Germany's visible sup
plies OF these important grains are
Diminishing rapidly. Synthetic bread
stuffs probably will come next, but the
staff Of life Is hard to replace.

Any campaign to save the shad from
extinction in eastern coastal waters won't
find the trout fishermen Of New England
Joining in the battle. Not that they have
anything against the shad, probably, but
when you speak Of fish to trout-man,
naturally you speak only Of game-fish,
one that fights when 1t is hooked. The
shad doesn't come in this classification,
although there may be instances of a
snad putting up battle before being
pulled in for market purposes The shad
Is primarily caught, though, in quantity
lots.
For number of years there was much
speculation about the loss Of shad In the
Connecticut and tributary rivers, notably
the Pennington and Salmon, where the
sllad was once most prolific and furnished
livelihood for many nearby residents.
But like all fish which are caught In large
quantities there came the drouth. And
it. was then that conservation officials
went into action. Thanks to the fine
work of the State Fish and Game Board
the complete disappearance OF the shad
from local waters has been prevented.
We still have shad in the Connecticut
river and It's tributaries, but pollution has
taken its toll. 1t will continue to do so,
too, until we awaken to the fact that we
are slowly but surely killing off our nat
ural resources and wild life by such UNI
sanitary methods. However, the shad is
appearing in fewer numbers, so we learn,
all along the eastern coast. And as a
result of this the National Fisheries Con-
vention, to be held in Atlantic City in
February, will take up the matter OF con-
serving the shad supply. A unified pro-
gram to this effect will be launched. Con-
necticut, we know, will Join in the move
mert, for Connecticut river shad Is a
delicacy fit for king when properly
prepared.

We're forever getting back to this ques-
ton of stream pollution. It's the most
timely topic, in this writer's estimation,
in all our eastern states You seldom
pick up paper that you don't read about
discussion Of eliminating pollution. It's
a vital civic problem; yes, 1t even becomes
state and national problem, perhaps
better still, a regional one. We have long
spoken Of the ACCESSIBILITY of stream pollu-
ton being treated in our own section OF
this state as a Naugatuck Valley problem
II all communities in the valley would get
together on definite program of elimina-
ton, the goal would be reached quickly
It's hard, however, with differentiated
towns with different problems to do this.
But sooner or later we'll have to get to-
gether on 1t and we might as well aim
towards that objective now. Stream
pollution must end and soon, too.
