ECONOMIC PROBLEMS
Huge economic considerations
count also.
; Philippine finance naturally is en-
ormously dependent upon American
money.
Yet, on the opposite hand, Amer
lean money is enormously dependent
upon the future of the Philippines.
President Quezon has a frightfully
hard issue to straddle:
Political independence versus eco
nomic Filipino ruin.
Economico militaristic questions
are involved sufficient to make any
one wonder.
It is not surprising that President
Quezon has to come to the United
States or that President Roosevelt
needs to visit the Philippines to dis
cuSS them.

From a Distance

Evidently Hartford has not yet met up with the North American Committee to Aid Spanish Democracy. The Times in recent editorial dealt with the situation which occurred last week in Waterbury when various local organizations pro- tested and succeeded in having banned the motion picture, Spain in Flames" One thing should be remembered in con- nection with the banning of the picture Superintendent of Police William J. Roach declared that he had decided in his own mind to forbid showing of the film even before local organizations started to pour in their protests.
 The Times says of this, "Still, it does not seem clear from the available infor- nation that conditions had reached or even threatened to reach the point of civil disorder in Waterbury that the Police Chief should invoke his emergency powers Presumably the Spanish War will not be permitted to disrupt Water bury'S peace but we cannot imagine Sucn peace to be bought by utterly squelchlng what may be a minority attitude in the city as regards the loyalist cause. ..."
 The Chief of Police so far az we know did not invoke any emergency powers. He simply stepped in and banned film that might easily have kindled il l feeling leading to religious and racial disputes that could be disastrous in city in which so many races are represented as Water bury. Who can say what would have happened had the picture been shown? We don't know. It might have passed by almost unnoticed; it might have had the opposite effect. A lot of talk was heard about infringing on liberties and this being democratic country. Sure, it's very democratic, so much so that anything for eign to democratic government in the form of communism can be put across and we're supposed not merely to swallow it, but actually give it wholehearted ap- proval.
 The Hartford Times can speak of "The Waterbury Episode" but why not find out in every city or town where the same picture was banned, why such action was taken Maybe the sum total of these actions will have a deeper significance than merely the fact that many Water burians are aware of what's behind the world news and mere names and titles cannot awe them.

Graduates Rights

This is the season of promotions, grad uationS and commencementS. Schools close for the long vacation. Youngsters are as thrilled to "pasS" as their older brothers and sisters are thrilled to receive the diplomas which indicate they have finished high school and may go on to college or have finished college and may go on to jobs or professional training.
 This is also the season when many speakers, more or less wise, more or less interesting, often lonesome, sometimes inspiring, give the young people extra doses of advice and warning. They relate the opportunities and responsibilities and obligations the graduates face. They re- peat to them the blessings they have enjoyed. Perhaps, since the depression, such speakers have been little more humble for their own generation than they used to be, we'll aware of bad mis- takes made in the past.
 There is new note in commencement talks It is praise of the young people themselves. Speakers frankly say the groups emerging from high schools and universities are fine youngsters. They have been interested in their own work and have done it well. They have shown a keen interest in civic and national and world affairs and have intelligent ideas on topics their parents and aunts and uncles knew nothing about at the same age. They have earned for themselves the right to go forward. They deserve the award for tasks we'll done of worthy tasks to do Society must not fail them.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-06-08
We Can Remember When

The one-man battle that Senator Joseph P. Cooney of Hartford Waged against Attorney George R. Sturges of Woodbury in the latter's official capacity as attorney for the State Education Department seems to have been rewarded. Whether or not his action in having some $16,O00 Topped from the State Edu- cation Departments budget for the coming biennium will affect the local attendance agents remains to be seen. Earlier in the session it was believed they might lose their jobs as result of Sena- tor Cooney's crusade against the posi- tions.
 At any rate when the senators argued far into the night last Friday the Hartford legislator paid his respects ln this fashion: "There never was such high and mighty state department as this. They have retained a man as attor- ney when it was shown it was illegal. The attorney, according to the figures sub- mitted, received $4,520 for four-fifths Of his time, the salary being on a basis or 5,1O0. -"
 Waterbury knows Attorney Sturgcs very well. He has many friends here, despite the fact that at one time in his official capacity he prosecuted the city for over-payments made by the state on the basis of school enumeration figures. That was in the days when enumeratlon was made by appointed officials. It ended LID with Waterbury making restitution. It was Attorney Sturges who pressed the charges at the time and succeeded in forcing the city to straighten out the situation.
 It might have been considered malice on Waterbury legislators parts had they joined the Hartford senator in his fight. which he intimated was directed against Attorney Sturges. That they did not shows that this city. so far as it's minia- ture school scandal of many years ago has no i'll will towards the Woodbury man, who by the way has been one ot the most active legislators and public officials in Litchfield county for many years.

Another Stamp Tax?

Now some daring citizen suggests that the best form of federal tax would be a stamp tax applying to all, but so gradu- ated that the highest rates would fall on luxuries Tt is not difficult to grade" he says. By way of Illustration: No man should complain of $1 ,000 tax upon the purchase of a $15, ,0O0 car, or $10 tax on a $500 car. No one is entitled to grouse over the payment of a $10 tax on $125 suit of clothes, or 50 cents on suit at $25."
 Not entitled to grouse? Maybe not, but watch us do it! People will not be at all impressed with this mans reminder that the great economist Adam Smith sanctioned the graduated stamp tax. The only Smith they know much about is Al, and it's a safe guess that he wouldn't like it. Moreover, wasn't it stamp tax that started our revolution and made us an independent nation?

It may have won the Pulitzer prize and sold the most copies, but Gone With the Wind" isn't the best novel to the American Writers Congress which met i'll New York Sunday and balloted among members on their choice. Only one vote was cast for the Margaret Miller best seller. It remained for John Dos Passos' "The Big Money (not an adv.) to get the bulk of the votes, $50 being cast for it. The American Writers Congress in- cludes writers, critics, and poets from all parts of the country. However, Pulitzer prize winner did come in for credit when Van Wyck Brooks "The Towering of New England" was chosen as the best his tory of the year. Here's the list - best biography, "An American Testament" by Joseph Freeman; best book of poetry, "The People, Yes" by Carl Sandburg; best play, Marching Song" by John Howard Lawson. Donald Ogden Stewart was elected new head of the congress.

He felt that the German bom- bardment of the civilian popula- tion of Almeria was something against which the United States should take a firm and openly condemnatory stand. In fact, he seemed open-minded toward the idea of invoking the Neutrality Act and putting an embargo on Germany and Italy.
 But Cordell Hull and Norman Davis were the height of eau tion. They believed that the United States should do nOth- ing. Davis, particularly, be- lieved in a dO-nOthing policy, especially anything which did not follow the leadership of the British.
 In conversations with the Ger man ambassador, MT. Hull intim- ated in mild diplomatic language that any repetition of the AL meria incident might force the United States to take action un- der the Neutrality Act.
 AMBASSADOR DIECKHOFF CALLED THIS TO HITLER; NO WORD OF TT LEAKED OUT TO THE GERMAN PUBLIC. Hull On Spot
 Secretary Hull, always the height of cautious graciousness, had hard time maintaining it during the visit of democratic and farmer-labor congressman to de- mand the invocation of the neu- trality Act against Germany and Italy.
 Hull can be one of the most long -Winded takers in the world when he wants to avoid an issue. This time he talked about fishing Tennessee, the days when he was in congress, and almost everything else in order to avoid the Span ish question.

And the weekend storm that we just went through added the finishing touch. Now if we can alternate some nice hot days with frequent showers we'll have the ideal maturing period

A Book a Day
BY BRUCE CATION

American Frontier" by Elisabeth Pack Double 1ay-Doran: $2) is a fine, eminently readable book Of verse on the vanished people, cus- toms and scenery of the country's extreme youth.
 In its feeling for the raw, vital and occasionally wistful spirit of early America, this book is remin- iscent of Paul Engle's American Song" In many ways I think it is better book. The feeling seems, somehow, less forced and more genuine, the touch little surer, the evocation of the pio- neer atmosphere more effective be- cause 1t is more restrained.
 But comparisons are futile. American Frontier" can stand on its own feet. The point is that 1t is book of verse which even If you don't care much for poetry you are very likely to enjoy deeply.
 It is not a narrative poem. Rather it Is a collection of short pieces, loosely linked together, oe- plcting various phases or Amerl- can life from 1780 or whereabouts to the middle 1800'S. Some of 1t IS free verse, and some rolls along in a loosely-swinging meter; and all of 1t seeks to show what men and women felt like when they were opening the wilderness and expe- riencing the conquest of an un- tanned continent.
 A Kentuckian, Miss Peck is said to have delved extensively in old diaries, letters and other pioneer records to get the factual basis for her poems. That is easy to believe. They sound authentic, somehow by which I mean that they have the honest, unadorned sound ot genuine folk songs.
 Altogether, American Frontier is a welcome addition to our litera- ttlre,
