WATER SYSTEMS
 VERY EFFECTIVE
Official Says Repairs Often Made Before Public
 Realize Condition

Although every precaution is talk en. by health authorities and the arrangements of the public water systems to avoid emergencies which might prove detrimental to the sup- plies, such emergencies occur at times and on many occasions re- pairs are carried out so rapidly that the public does not wake up to the seriousness of the situation, accord- ing to Warren J. Scott, director of the bureau of sanitary engineering of the state department of health.
 Even more significant of accom- plishment are plans carefully and consistently developed by water of- ficias to avert disastrous emergen- cies," MT. Scott declares in an ar- ticle in the departments current monthly bulletin. "The public at large little appreciates the efforts made to provide continuous and safe supply of water. The officials in charge of the public water sup ply has a tremendous responsibility which is 8 fact not generally con- sidered. Few worse calamitics may beset 8 community than the deple- ton or pollution of the public wa ter supply"
 Connecticut,s public water sup- plies as @ whole are well equipped to face any drouth equalling any past record, although in few il1- stances extensive improvements are yet to be made, Mir. Scott says, but occasionally it has happened that sources of supply have proved in- adequate in dry periods. In any emergency in which the adequacy or purity of the supply is threat ened it is the first duty of the local system management to confer with the state department of health as to possible emergency supplies to be used. When such supply is de- cided upon, the necessary pumping and piping connections must be made quickly by the water manage ment, and the department has the duty of supervising emergency dis infection or other treatment to safe- guard public health. The depart ment has portable, temporary chlor- ination apparatus which is avail able for use in such emergencies. Serious breaks in water mains may threaten the adequacy of the supply, and in such instances new sources of supply must be brought in quick 1y.
 Drouth conditions are not always responsible for emergencies which sometimes must be met by cooper ation of health authorities and sys- tenn homogeneous. Last springs floods created an emergency which called for ceasless efforts to guard against an outbreak of water -borne disease. Public supplies generally were affected, but constant vigil lance was necessary. Private wells and springs had to be thoroughly disinfected throughout the flooded areas, and the fact that no spread of disease followed the flood attests to the efficacy of the work.
 Emergency connections invariably result in permanent improvements to prevent recurrence, and 1t IS gratifying, MT. Scott states, to re- cord that numerous and extensive improvements have resulted from the effects of dry periods in the past few years.

Other Ticklish Questions

To restrict wartime supplies to England would mean a rigid super vision over exports to Canada and there would be obvious difficulties in refusing to accept orders for non-military supplies from those two countries, our two best customers.
 There is 3 smaller group which feels the United States should ,. leave itself in a position to throw its weight on behalf of the "dem- ocratic" nations, in case Germany, Italy, and Japan should ever be lined up in a war against England, France, and Russia. But this sentiment is unlikely to influence congress.
 Neutrality as applied to Mexico and other Latin American repub- lies is still more ticklish ques- ton. Although this administra- ton has openly renounced imper- ialism and intervention, there has been no real abandonment of the two cardinal principles of the Monroe Doctrine: 1. No more Eu- ropean colonization in this hemi- sphere. 2. No European domina- ton over any of the existing re- publics.
 There's no chance that this country would sit by, neutral and silent. while one of those princi- ples was being violated.
 Groups at Wide Variance
 As opposed to the mandatory neutrality advocates, who say no president should be trusted with the power to discriminate against one belligerent. even when laying down the sam policy as to both eblliger- ents, groups favoring discretionary laws variously argue that congress cannot foresee the nature of emer- gencies likely to arise in it's absence that America shouldn't give up its chance to be an influence in world affairs through threat of economic pressure, that we should use some influence against aggressors, and that we shouldn't injure peace- time trade by persuading prospective bel- ligerents to develop other markets.
 These are only 8 few of tho angles to the neutrality problem But they may be worth remem bering.

Mandatory Law Unlikely

One vociferous school of thought holds that only mandatory legisla- ton automatically embargoing im- plements of war to belligerent na- tions, along with other safeguards, can keep us at peace.
 But the outlook is for a law which will allow the present and the state department considerable discretion in invoking such safe- guards. Even those shouting loud- est for "mandatory legislation admit the president should have some discretion over embargoes al to war supplies other than muni. tions.
 Although one principle of man. datory legislation would be that whatever embargoes were de- clared should be enforced against all belligerents, one need only re- call our shipments of supplies to the Allies when Germany was bIockaded; our consideration of embargoing oil in the Ital0- Ethi0- pisn war, when only Italy would have suffered; and the recent em- bnrgO on arms to Spain, which in- jured only the Spanish govern ment, to see another large avenue to possible complications.
 One large group in Washington, without saying anything about it. vents no neutrality which would tic our hands in case England and the British Empire were threat ened with destruction. There is much such feeling in the state de- partment, where foreign policy has long shown tendency to follow the British lead.
 gome sentiment may enter into this attitude, but it's most of all based on the idea that our biggest ace in the hole in foreign relations is friendship with England, that VIC would need the British fleet on our side If we ever had a war with Japan Gas most navy men are sure we wilD, and that If Eng land were conquered our interna- tional position would be very weak

Legislation For
 Neutrality Will
 Be At Variance

Washington, Jan. 22.-Most fore- casts as to the type of neutrality legislation which congress will pass at this session indicate that some- times we will mean 1t and sorne- times we won't.
 Experts who have revealed their views on the problem usually are convinced either that there is no such thing as neutrality or that, even if there is, there's little chance of this country ever keeping com- pletely aloof from big war through legislation.
 There is so much difference on these and numerous other points that many of the people who feel most strongly about keeping out of war are all mixed up.
 Some of them feel that the United States can't help having an economic and political interest in any big war. Others fear that the fact no neutrality policy can operate impartially is always likely to drag us into trouble against our will, because there'll always be a chance that some na- ton will feel our policy is discrin- mating against 1t.

AIR MAN LAUDS
COOPERATION

The recent trend toward closer
cooperation between railroads
buses, steamship lines, and com
mercial aircraft lines was heartily
commended yesterday by w. B.
Briggs, district traffic manager,
Eastern Air Lines, in an address
before members Of the Transpor-
tation Club at the Raleigh Hotel.
Commenting on the way in
which the other transportation
companies cooperate with the air
lines when planes are grounded in
the midst of scheduled runs, Mr.,
Briggs said:
"Airmen are deeply apprecia-
tive of these cOurteSieS and some
day hope to reciprOcate. To date
our only gesture in this direction
is to plan special trips in which
transportation means other than
flying are included"
Briggs told how the aviation in
dustry had taken long forward
strides in the past several years,
stating that in the period from
1880 to 1896, passenger traffic had
increased 300 per cent to an an
nual figure of 100000 persons;
air express and freight 18 per cent
to a total of 17,000,0 900 pounds and
mileage flown, 300 per cent to a
total of 72,000,000 miles.
Other speakers included c. w.
NlcKless. president of the Trans
portation Club, and F. F. Crabbe,
vice president and treasurer.
