Dutch Will Build
 East Indies Trade
IndustriaIizaton Planned - One of Objectives Is to
 Increase COuntry's Economic Self-SufiCiency

which no longer can hopet find work on the large plantations.
 Second: To increase the coun- try's economic self-sufiiciency.
 Third: To encourage the native population to participate in . wider variety of economic activi- ties.
 In carrying out these projects, the Netherlands government pre- sumably intends to follow much the same system that Is at the basis of Japan's industrial life. This is the encouragement and found. ing of thousands of small indus tries which may merely rank from the manufacture of various lines of goods in factories that comprise nothing more than family, or Q small shop, up to the bigger indus tries. These smaller industries will employ from 50 to 800 persons.
 One of the first industries to be developed by the Netherlands gov- ernment and by Dutch capital in the East Indies, will come Into di- rect competition with that of Ja- pan, and that is the textile indus try, 1t is said.
 Textile Industry Pushed
 Plans have been made" the inc stitute reported, flor the develop ment of a large scale textile in- dustry, representing Dutch textile interests, known as the Java Tex tile company. The plant, which is scheduled to be opened this month, is situated at Tegal, and will em- play 10000 workers if full devel- oped.
 Besides this major industry, however, the plans of the Nether- lands government and financial interests embrace the manufac- ture of all sorts of low-priced spe- cialties such as Japan has put on the market in recent years. the

institute reported.
 Industrialization of the islands will not be restricted purely to Dutch capital but foreign concerns also will be encouraged to install plants there. Among those who al- ready have branch plants at Java are the Unilever, National Carbon company. General Motors and the Goodyear Rubber company.
 Now Japan has virtually 6 monopoly. owing to low prices on such articles as cotton textiles electric light bulbs. rubber shoes, tires, umbrellas and bicycles. These, the Dutch are convinced, the islands can produce themselves.
 Other industries. for which the islands are especially adapted and which will be developed under the present plan, are cigar and cigar cite manufacture, metals and sugar, bicycles, beer and cement, chem- icals, glass and earthenware, leather and shoes. and weaving and pottery.

ANIMAL LOVERS
 SEEK TORTURER
Cuts Off Legs of Cats, Dogs to See How They
 Suffer

Birmingham, Ala. Aug. i2-(U.P) Animal lovers banded today in 6 hunt for the man who cuts of the legs of cats and dogs Ito see them suffer-" Fearful lest the unidentified mans sadistic traits might cause him to attack children, police en- tered the hunt and warned all res- idents of suburban Fairfield, where the mans mutilation of animals has occurred, to keep their pets in- doors. The hunt was led by Mrs. Charles Whelan, secretary of the humane society. She broadcast an appeal for residents to be on the lookout for the "fiend of Fairfield" This monster is the same type of person who would torture and mur- der little children" she said. He must be apprehended immediately"
 Second Victim Dies
 The torturer's second victim died in the Humane Society hospital yes- terday. It was @ month-old kitten whose left paw had been brutally sawed of. The cii cumstances of it's mutilation coincided almost exactly with that of fox terrier puppy, found Tuesday with his hind legs sawed of. This is no case of acci- dental amputation," Q veterinarian said. This is deliberate and cruel act of some fiend in human form torturing animals for the pleasure of seeing them suffer-" The puppy will survive the torture, Miss Whe- Ian said. A cobbler is making e pair of leather boots to be slipped over the stubs of his hind legs when the wounds heal.

Industry T alks
No. Practical Chemistry at Work
Prepared by the

two plates of glass to make shatter-proof safety glass. Other cellulose products are noving-picture films, improved finishes to take the place of paint and varnish, the transparent Cellophane wrapping used so extensively in modern packaging, and ray on, the chemically made yarn.
 Another outstanding service of the chemical industry is in the "fixation of atmospheric nitrogen" With air, water, coal, and electricity as his raw materials, the chemist manufactures nitrates, used in vast quantity for agricultural fertilizer and for many other purposes.
 Coal tar in the hands of chemists has be- come veritable gold mine. From this sticky, foul-smelling material are made sweet perfumes, flavoring extracts, me- dicinal drugs, gorgeously colored dyes, and innumerable other products touching near ly every other industry and affecting the lives of us all.
 In these and many other ways, chemis- try is at work in the service of industry. One of the oldest of sciences, it has achieved it's most useful accomplishments under the sponsorship of business enter prise, Scientific skill has been linked with efficient manufacturing and modern mer- chandising. Advertising has been an im- portant factor in the development of the chemical industry as it quickly makes new products known to the public and enables the manufacturer to produce in large quantity and sell at low cost.
 The chemical industry has shown spen- didly what results can be accomplished through practical cooperation between science and busineSA management, when American enterprise is free to go ahead. Who knows, past miracles may seem as nothing when compared to the future wonders that will be created in test tube and factory.

 FVfascinating fields of modern in- Vdustrial activity. The ancient
 z alchemist, compounding strange mixtures in his futile quest of the all-cur- ing panacea and the transmutation of base metals into gold, little dreamed that he was preparing the way for one of the worlds most useful industries.
 Chemistry today is swift-moving sci ence re-shaping our everyday world. Re- search chemists, toiling in the laboratories of private manufacturers and great uni versailles, are constantly bringing forth new developments that make life easier, happier, and more interesting for millions of people everywhere. Among the count Jess articles entering your daily life are many that all the money in the world could not have bought just few years ago. They simply did not exist, for they had not yet emerged from the test tube. Some of the most interesting and useful products of chemistry are the wonderful new substances produced from common materials which abound in nature. One example is the substance called pyroxylin, which is made from cellulose, the material forming the cell walls of plants and occur ring almost everywhere on earth. Explor- ing the mysterious realms of atoms and molecules, chemists have discoyered how to take plant cells apart and then put the material together again to make this en- tirely new substance.
 Pyroxylin in transparent or colored form is nodded into tableware, pipe-stems, hair ornaments, toothbrush handles, and an endless list of other objects. Transpar- ent sheets of it are sandwiched between

gan experiments on blossoms of similar type 30 years ago and in three decades of hybridization grating and experimentation, has brought the new plant to a highly specialized state, endowing 1t with It's singular quality of retaining its shape and color indefinitely after being dried.
 The baby's breath plant which sometimes is called the florists blessing-is SO highly bred 1t pro- duces no seed. The variety is pro- duced through grating, which is done during the winter months.
 During late June and July the plants blossom and continue per- ennially for five or six years.
 Hot Climate Necessary
 Under a hot California sun, the plants require irrigation five or six times a year. They will not grow in a colder climate, Starr declared, as experiments in eastern states have proved.
 Although highly specialized, they are not difficult to grow. Protec- ton against potato bugs, cutworms and other incest pests is the main cause of trouble as sprays cannot be used on the plants.
 Stars experiments in the last two years have produced no im- provements. He will not say, how ever, the limit of perfection has been reached, but each day looks for a new and more promising specimen in his plant laboratories.
 Colors Range Widely
 This year 32' men and IA women worked on Starr's property, cut ting and finishing the plants and dipping them in tanks of anilin dyes which provide fues ranging from pink through orange, blue, orchid, lavender and green.
 Starr's industry Is growing each year. Next season seven more acres will blossom Into whiteness and another dozen persons will be employed in the industry which is believed to command the largest market of any single plant con- cern in the world.
 Each day hundreds of boxes leave the greenhouses. They are addressed to Florida, Eastern States, South America, Alaska, Greenland, Canada and Europe they are not marked "perishable."

San Francisco (UP)-Taking . leaf from Japan's notebook on inc dustria liza ton, Holland has decided to begin the naturalization of the Dutch East Indies, according to the Institute of Pacific Relations.
 The results, when the present plans of the Netherlands govern ment are completed, will be the endowment of the Far East with at least two industrial countries For the time being, the investiga- ton of the institute reveals, there is no intention of complete "Westernization" of the native population of the Netherlands In- dies, such as was undertaken in Japan, but that present plans are tot make the island empire at least industrially self sufficient.
 The Netherlands government the institute said, recognizes that its vast colonial empire in the Pa- cific must always remain primar- fly agricultural and with large surplus of tropical raw materials for export, but 1t is convinced that there is no necessity for the island to remain longer entirely depen- dent upon foreign supplies oi manufactured goods.
 May Affect Japan
 Tn undertaking a program te make the islands industrially self. sufficient 1t is recognized that Japan will lose one of its greatest markets in the Far East.
 At the basis of the Netherlands project for the naturalization oi the Dutch East Indies, the insti. tutc has found that there are three basic objectiveS, as follows:

Nantasket, Boston Lin e Has Put Strike Breakers
 on Its Boats

Boston, Aug. 12-(UP)-Defying strikers, the lls.year-old Nantas. ket-Boston Steamboat company planned to operate on cCrtailed schedule today.
 Two of the company's four boats will operate, the connpany's direc- tors announced after special meeting at which they rejected strikers demands for a 40 per cent pay increase, eight-hpur and nine- hour day and recognition of A. F. of LIS International Longshore- mems Association as sole collective bargaining agency. :"
 John J. Mogan, the Unions gen. eral agent, sad none of the boats would move until the demands are granted and a satisfactory explana- tion is given of a mixup at the Bos- ton pier late yesterday.
 Their Places Taken
 Following conference with the state arbitration board, strikers had agreed to return to work pending completion of negotiations. When they returned to the pier, however. they said they found the steamer town of hull manned by 8 make- shift crew of officers and non- union men from other boats.
 Seven policemen barred strikers from boarding the vessel. Nettled, Mogan charged a breach of agrees ment and ordered union men to re- main on strike.
 Ten minutes after the Town of Hull sailed, the company posted a notice of cancellation of service for the remainder of the night.
 Taxicabs, buses and trains did a land-office business as thousands of stranded excursionists and commut- CTS sought transportation.

New York. Aug. i2-(UP)-The passenger liner Duchess of Atholl, after collidlng with the Danish freighter Maine in dense fog IFS miles southeast of Boston, removed the Names crew and abandoned the Maine m a sinking condition, she reported by radio today.
 The collision occurred last night.

The fog persisted and at dawn the Duchess was standing by the aban- doned freighter, awaiting arrival of e tug. The Duchess master feared that the wreckage. adrift in the sea lanes. might drift into the path of another vessel.
 Her radio warned all vessels that the Maine constituted e menace to navigation and gave the precise position. Her messages were inter- cepted by Mackey radio here.
 The Maine carried a crew of 24 officers and men. All including the captain, were taken abroad the Duchess, without incident.
 A great hole was torn in the Maine's port bow. She was filling rapidly, the Duchess reported.

Chaos in the Senate

It is very unfortunate that the Su- preme Court debate at Washington should come to head in midsummer. Here is a matter which obviously calls for cool weather and cool temper. The opening days of this historic business, last week, coinciding with wave of hot weather, developed what correspondents called "the worst parliamentary wrangle in years" The senators, flying at one another with snarls, shouts and ridicule," gave glaring example of the wrong way to handle such an important and historic argument. If feeling is so high and nerves are so frazzled now, what will they be during the dog days?
 A large part of the excitement and bel ligerency is honest concern for the well fare of the country, but also large part of it is politics. The more the former factor is played up and the latter is played down, the better it will be for everybody. The senators have difficult and exasper- ating job, but that is all the more reason for not flying off the handle. They seem to need breathing exercises or something. It might help if they would take leaf out of the Coue system, and tell themselves when retiring and arising: Every day in every way I am getting calmer and ealmer."

Senator George T. Culhane a political football and had him running for mayer or for controller. MT. Culhane was very emphatic in telling The Democrat yester- day that he was registered democrat" and not a member of the independent democratic party. All of which is worthy of praise, because MT. Culhane, an avowed seeker for the mayoralty nomina- tion on the democfatic ticket, could very easily have said nothing and thus been used to the advantage of the g.o.p. polit- ical wizards.
 Offhand we would venture the surmise that coalition of republican and inde- pendent-democratic forces, whether it's a fusion or just friendly and mutual en- dorsement of candidates, would fail in it's very obvious intent, which is simply to beat the Hayes administration and not so much to provide Waterbury with that aforementioned, beautiful and wise, gov ernment. Picture the chaos of city gov ernment if ticket composed of repub- licans and independent-democrats were ever elected by the voters of Waterbury?

Joseph T. Robinson

The sudden and certainly unexpected death of Senator Joseph T. Robinson ot Arkansas comes as a distinct shock to the entire nation. Probably no legislator at our national capital enjoyed the respect and attention that has been given to the ArkanSan senator for many many years His has been position of trust and responsibility and he always acquitted himself well. We don't doubt but what the pressure of legislative and admins tration matters during the last four or five years accounted in good part for hls untimely death.
 Death came to the ArkanSan just at moment when it seemed as if he was about to achieve the ambition of many years - appointment to the Supreme Court of the United States. That Sena- tor Robinson would have taken great pride in such an appointment was well known by his intimates and legislative acquaintances. However, the fact that he had hopes of such an appointment never interfered with the matters at hand. They have been many and dlttl- cult throughout the Roosevelt admlnls- tration, but it can be said to the Robin son credit that he did not falter in behat of the administration.
 He was always loyal democrat. This may account in some part for the fact that he has held public office continu- ously for the past thirty-four years. He was senator, representative, and gover- nor. His career at Washington was one in which his devotion to the democratic party rather overshadowed everything else. If party lines were to be kept intact it was to Robinson that the leaders looked. He seldom failed them. That's why in the course of events he came to lead the democrats in the Senate. His death will be felt for long time to come and his party associates will miss him.

High Compliment Paid

The action of the Republican Town Committee in announcing Gin rather calm fashion, that it would take over (oflcially) the independent democratic party this fall for the purpose of defeat ing Mayor Frank Hayes or any other candidates the democratic party might bring before the voters is certainly high compliment to the democratic party of this city. It is an admission on the part of the official organization of the repub- zican party that it cannot beat the in- Cllmbent democrats, so outside help must be procured. Of course this kind of compliment must always be scrutinized carefully.
 When you examine it carefully you discover that perhaps it's not intended as q compliment But after all whether it's compliment or an insult, it doesn't seem to make sense. Two years ago the republicans and the independent demo- grats staged quite bit of fuss over the candidacy of Mayor Frank Hayes and sent two mayoralty candidates against him. The result is too well known to mention here. The sole satisfaction that critics of the Hayes administration drew was that the independent-dem and republican vote totals was more than She democratic.
 Probably on the theory that if the two political groups merged their activities, putwardly as well as inwardly, they'd do betteg, we have the latest proclamation 8 the g.op. town committee. But 1t played fast and loose in one particular Instance. That was when 1t made State
