 On July IS the faSciSts in Spain with the aid of two European na- tions began a military insurrection. The largest portion of the Spanish regular army joined the insurrec- ton of the fascists against the gov- ernment. The defense. of the gov- ernment was carried on by the workers and peasants militia, which was untrained, badly equipped much as our revolutionary armies under Washington, and with little ammunition, which was supplied by the two powers mentioned above to the rebels. {E
 It may be said that the situation in Spain is the start by Hitler and his allies of the conquest of all of Europe for fascism and Nazisrn. On this side of the water we do not realize that we are faced with the danger of fascism, and this is no Banque's ghost.
 It is well known fact that bomb- ing planes of two powers outside of Spain have assisted the rebels. Two of these crashed over Morocco, from where Spanish troops were rushed by air to Spain to fight against the government.
 In plain words, the democratic party in this country faces a fight against fasciSm and the reactionary forces that are out to defeat Frank lin D. Roosevelt. Believe it or not, the next session of congress will prove it when it assemblies in Jan- uary.
 As far as sathe union party is con- cerned, it takes its stand for infia- tion, which would mean ruin to the workers, the farmers and the mid- dle classes. It is against the nation alization of the banking system,
 The communist party is support ing the farmer-labor party which is gaining strength in all the agricul- tural districts of the west and mid- dle west. It stands for 8 program by which millions can be recruited to the farmer labor party. It would seem as indicated by straws in the wind that the scattered groups are moving to- the left and gathering around President Roosevelt, as re- suit of the attacks made upon him by the union party and other re- dictionaries.

NOT COMMUNISM, IS GRAVEST PERIL FACING
 NATION
Waterbury, Conn. September 29, 1936.

Editor of The Democrat;
 Certainly the workers of these United States do not want to elect a president whose heart is in Wall street-a president who has no sym pathy for the workers. So it be- hooves any of those who produce the wealth of the country to beware lest they put a man at the head of our government who is a reaction ary. The one great danger in America today is not communism. It is fascisnl. The question may be asked how and why. The answer is to be found in what is happening in Spain where the workers demo- cratic government is fighting for its life against fascism. The victory of the rebels will strengthen the cause of fascism all over the world. It will aid the election of Landon, the Liberty league and the forces of re- action--all enemies of labor and the workers. The government of Spain was elected by democratic procednre. representing the peoples

Auto Dealers Invite Public to Models This Week
CAR ASSOCIATION
 AN ACTIVE GROUP Auto Merchants Gain Pub-
 lie FavOr-FOunded IS Years Ago

The Waterbury Automobile Mer- chants Association which is Spon- soring the l936 Greater Automobile Week are a live wire organization. They are very progressive and since their organization in 1913 they have certainly gained the confidence of the public.
 Roland s. Hotchkiss is the Pres- ident of the organization and the other officers are Eugene H. Ellis vice-president and John M. Curtis secretary-treasurer.
 Since the forming of this organ. ization the public has no worry of being fleeced by a dealer who is here today and out of business to- morrow. The dealers have cooper ated in every way and have placed the automobile business at the top in the Waterbury business lines. When 8 dealer sells a car today he Is ready to stand in back of same and the organization sees that he does.
 Each year since the Waterbury Automobile Merchants Association has been formed they have endeav- ored to put an auto show on in the State Armory or at each of their showrooms. This year they are put ting 1t on at each showroom where there will be courteous salesmen at all times to show the general public the new features and designs on the different cars.

1886 CHEVROLET
 AID DRIVE READY
Newspaper Advertising to Continue on Same Scale
 as Last Year

Chevrolet will continue through out 1886 to rank among the out- standing users of newspaper adver- tising, 1t was announced this week byb 0. P. Fisken, advertising man. ager of the Chevrolet Motor Co.,, who has been directing ChevroIet's heavy expenditures in that direc- ton.
 Seventy-three hundred newspa- pers throughout the United States will be on the Chevrolet schedule for the coming year, MT. Fisken said. Not only new cars, but trucks, used cars, service, accessor- ies will be merchandised through newspapers which will continue the backbone of Chevrolet's advertising effort.
 "The dealer advertising confer- ences which Chevrolet has held during the past year have made 1t apparent that the newspapers are held in high esteem by the Chevro- let dealer organization, as well as by Chevrolet itself," said MT. Fisken. We are convinced that the news paper is Q better medium for auto- mobile copy today than ever before. Our announcement program is @ fair indication of the way we feel; and 1t is only the opening gun in a sustained program right through the year. 't!

Scrapping Evsrying

Maybe those of us who want to con- serve things and get full value out of everything are unwise. Maybe thrift is wrong and waste is right. Such topsy- turvy policy is suggested by Charles F. Kettering, research man for General Motors, in an interview by Fred c. Kelley for the North American Newspaper Alliance.
 Probably the greatest obstacle to re- covery," he says, lis the difficulty of get ting rid of obSolescence. Our common sense tells us that if every industrial plant in the country suddenly went out of ex- istence, there would be no unemploy- ment, no hard times, no depression. We would all go to work to build new plants. And they would be incomparably better"
 He suggests another revolutionary thought along this same line. He thinks it might be good idea, instead of taxing manufacturing plants most heavily when they are new, to tax them very lightly at first and increase the tax burden on them as they grow old. Then the owners would stop using inefficient plants and build new ones. This rapid, continual rebuilding, he says, would promote new industries, reduce unemployment and make more things for everybody.

Little Likelihood

There seems little likelihood that Bruno Hauptmann, convicted of the mur- der of the infant son of Colonel Charles Lindbergll, will escape the electric char. The stOlid German carpenter seems doomed to pay the penalty for what has been termed the worst crime Of the cen tury on Friday night of this week. Hope of reprieve by Governor Hoffman or New Jersey is so remote that not even Hg.l,tmann's counsel seems buoyed up by any thought of one.
 Unless in the hours that remain before Hauptmann is buckled into the death chair and the fatal charge released he adds to the story that was his at his trla! last year the nation will remain divided on the question of his guilt. There are many, probably majority, who believe that in convicting Hauptmann the jury did so because the state had piled up such a mass of evidence against him that was not to be contradicted.
 A small minority will always believe that Hauptmann was the victim of per- haps some slight transgression upon his own part, but that he was guilty of the heinous crime of abducting the Lind bergh baby and later staying 1t, that will never be fully established in this group s minds. All of which makes this case and it's rapidly approaching denouement not merely tragic one, but an epic one. It will long be remembered.
