ELSIE ROWLAND CHASE

The council has seldom been called upon to record a loss so serious to it's activities as that which the society meets in the death of Mrs. Elsie Rowland Chase, 8 member of the society since 1908.
 Mrs. Chase has bequeathed to Waterbury in the example of her life a very precious heritage. Ev- erything she touched seemed to glow with a certain radiance which emanated from her rare personality. She was not one who dwelt apart. She was not remote or uilapproachables She was es- Sentially human, and to those of us who were privileged to come into close association with her she was 2 benedictien.
 As we, who were not members of her fairnily and household were privileged to see her amongst those who were dearest to her by ties of blood relationship, we were impressed by the gracious charm and the powerful and generous love which preneated her life in the large, loyal and loving fam fly with which she was blessed.
 Mrs. Chase was a woman of wide and varied interests but hers was we'll balanced and spleild- idlypoised life. There were no uil- occupied compartments in her mind. She was ii1tolerant only of intolerance. There was no room in her heart for unkindness or bitterness, no room in her mind for bigotry or smallness. Hers was Catholic nature in the ttuest sense. She was essentially loyal to her family, her church, her country and her city. Her children and her fellow citizens rise up and call her blessed.

ALICE E. KINGsBURY

The council wishes to record its deep sense of the loss sustained Ny the city of Waterbury and es- Eecially by the Mattatuck f1istori- dal society in the death of Alice E. Eingsbury.
 Miss Kingsbury became g mem Der of the society in 1903. She served as a member of its c0lln- oil from 1910 to 1912 and as chairman of its museum com nlittee from l9la until her death.
 Her deep and exhaustive knowi- edge of the Waterbury of the past and her pride in an ancestry identified with the city from its very beginning was a constant in- spiratiol to all those associated with her in the various activities q the society.
 The name of Kingsbury has for years stepd for stability and in tegrity in tfic community. The Kingsbury family has contributed constructively to the history of Waterbury. The council of our Historical society acknowledges with profound gratitude the great contribution which Miss Alice Kingshury has recently made. Like her forhears she has added lustre to the history of Waterbury and now in this crowning gift of her beloved home to the Mattatuck Historical society Miss Kingsbury has contributed to- the historical interest of generations of her fel- low citissls yet unborn. Her gen. erosity and her loyalty to the city of her birth will, we believe, in- SpiFe those of us who remain with

Neutrality Legislation
BvJ. Williams, Jr.

neutral nations to the end that
when wars come they may be
localized and not develop into .
world war.
A new crop of legislative pro
poSals dealing with neutrality has
appeared in the years following
the end of the latest great war.
Instead of advancing the doctrine
of American neutrality, first de-
clared by George Washington, and
supported by his successors in the
Presidency, many Of these new
proposals would take the world
back to the discarded doctrines Of
the Middle Ages. Their adoption
would neither promote justice nor
prevent war.
On the contrary the adoption Of
some of these proposals, in the
judgment of eminent authorities
by whom they have been examined,
would involve every nation in
future wars instead of keeping
neutral nations from becoming en-
broiled.
Some Of these recent proposals
for neutrality legislation seem to
have been formulated on the
theory that in every war it would
be a simple matter to determine at
the outset the aggressor nation
and thus mobilize the innocent
nations against the guilty.
COMPLICATED
Recent experience has revealed
the futility of such hope. AS one
eminent jurist has recently writ.
ten:
"The matter Is not nearly 50
simple as this. Points of view,
the sympathies Of peoples, po-
litical or dynastic or commercial
considerations, have always thus
far divided the nations into two
great camps. As a consequence,
if the armed forces provided for,
or the system of economic sane
tiOns set up were actually used,
these two great camps would be-
come hostile alliances, more or
less equal, in the event of another
World War;"
Until now the United States
from the days Of George Wash
ington has been a leader among
the nations in support of the rights
of neutrals as against belligerents.
This country has been a champion
of the rights of small nations
against the brute strength of pow
erful nations. 1t has been the de-
fender of justice and right, a
leader for peace and righteousness
among the nations.
Whether this leadership Is to
be maintained or abandoned is the
most important question raised by
the numerous proposals for neu-
trality with which the new Con.
gress will wrestle. This fact will
be clearly set forth by able men
in both Houses when the debate
starts.

The Washington times., 1937-01-07

Much will be heard during the
first session of the new Congress
regarding the necessity OF new
legislation to insure the neutrality
of the United States in future
wars.
Many legislative proposals will
be offered under the pretense that
they will promote American neu-
trality. Some of these, when sub
jected to the test of painstaking
examination and thorough debate,
will be swiftly rejected upon the
ground that their enactment
would surrender American rights
and compromise American honor
without preventing war or aiding
neutrality.
This whole question Of neutral
ity is worthy of the ableSt con-
tributions to debate of which the
best minds in both houses of Con-
greSs are capable.
There has been no debate
worthy of the name in recent
years. This has been due to the
fact that most of the discussion
Of neutrality legislation has been
confined to Senators and Repre-
sentatives in Congress who were
unqualified to illumine the subject.
PERTINENT FACTS
The Committee Of Foreign Rela-
tions-in earlier days called "the
great committee" Of the Senate
and the House Committee on For
eign Affairs will be called upon to
study neutrality legislation at the
present session. They may hold
hearings on the various proposals
offered.
In the light Of the facts devel-
oped by these hearings and by the
study Of the question which mem
bers Of these committees will make
Congress will prepare itself for a
real debate on this important ques-
ton.
Meantime there are a few sail
ent facts which the American peo-
pie will not forget about neutral
ity. These include the following:
First-That one Of the best
ways to prevent this country
from becoming embrOiled in
wars among other nations is to
follow the wise rules and princi-
pies which experience has
proven to be a helpful guide to
neutrals.
SecOnd-TO remember that
these rules and principles gov
erning the conduct of neutralS
have nothing to do with the SYM
pathieS which a nation may have
for one nation or cause as
against the other, and nothing
do with the So-called talk of war
guilt.
Third-That these time-teSted
rules and principles have had
for their main purpose the dis
cOurageme !; of warning nations
from interfering with the legiti-
mate interests and welfare Of

There are a half-million people
in the United States disfranchised
because Of geography. They are
mostly literates. They live in the
District of Columbia. This is the
name given to the piece Of land
originally on both sides Of the Po-
tomac, but afterward reduced to
the present boundary, on which Is
located the National Capital. The
city of Washington is in reality
the District. There are some
100000 persons of voting age in
that area who do not vote. They
haven't even the status Of residents
of Alaska or the other territories
once erected and later to become
States. The people who reside in
the District can never make COM
pliance with the constitutional re-
quirement which in the past has
changed IS Territories into the
status of States.
This seems to the man on tne
street to be at once an absurdlty
and an injustice. To disfranchlse
a half-million people looks rather
darkly un-American. 1t does not
fit into our picture. Yet it is true
and has been going on for over a
century. Nobody in Washington

The citizens have to take what

nous interests of the Federal Gov
ernment in the property OF the
city that may be justified. But
by no stretch of the imagination
can disfranchisement OF the half
million voters be excused or pal
lated.
It is necessary to have a con
stitutional amendment to permit
the ballot to District residents
The Gazette has long been on rec
ord in favor of such action. It Is
now possible the next Congress
should so act. The District pay'
over II million dollars in Fedora

and as full of id~cs as ever. Since
his trip he has been deluged with
requests to address gatherings of
the Jewish race. lie has filled as
many of the engagements as pos
sible. All Of them have not gone
along smoothly, however.
In Providence, R. l., he said he
attended an informal reception be-
fore he was to make his speech.
He hadn't bec there very long
when the gentleman in charge of
the party approached and said:
Senator, the building is be-
ing picketed by seamen and
sandwich boards prOclaiming
down with the Copeland con-
tinOus discharge book"
Senator Copeland greeted sew
eral more Of the guests and the
same man returned and said:
Senator, several Of these fel-
lows have crashed the party
and demand to see you. You
don't want to bother with them,
do yOu?"
"Sure," said the Senator.
"bring them into a room nearby
and you go on with the party

The New Yorker, who is also

seemed they didn't like the law
because they said a captain could
discharge one of them if he didn't
like the color of his eyes and
put it down on the book as
against their character.
Senator Copeland told them to
get out the law and one of the
books. They did and he convinced
them they were all wrong. After
thanking him they left and the
party went on without any more
disturbances.

Probably by an oversight, the
trainers of the Constitution ne
elected the process necessary to
confer the franchise on residents
of the District Of Columbia. It
is proposed to remedy this error
through a constitutional amend.
ment to be submitted at the next
session Of Congress.
The franchise in this manner,
according to the 1880 census,
would be extended to $4,000
American citizens resident in the
District. A commentator observes
that this population exceeds that
of eight other States, and that the
voting-age population of the Dis
trict, roughly 433,000 exceeds
the voting-age population Of 10
States. Last year taxes paid by
non-voting residents of the District
exceeded II million dollars.
The American Revolution was
fought on the slogan, mo taxation
without representation"
It may be asserted in some
quarters that the founders inten-
tionally withheld the suffrage
from residents of the District, per
haps on the ground that to large
extent they would be political ap-
pointees to public office, and that
their votes might be sWayed in
favor of existing administrations
because of that fact. But this is
not more true Of Washington ap-
pointive workers than Of such
workers anywhere else in the
United States, and therefore
there exists no justice in discrim-
mating against them.
The thing can be we'll illustrated
here in Madison. Supposing the
residents of Dane county we're de-
MED the suffrage because the Wis
consin State capital is situated
in Dane county. Supposing the
same condition existed in all
counties in other States in which
State capitals are located. That
is as logical as the disfranchise-
ment Of American citizens resident
in the District Of Columbia.
Fundamental IN the American
democracy is the right to vote.
All the objections that may be
conjured up to extending the suf-
frage to the District of Columbia
will remain overwhelmed by the
logic # that one essential fact.
This is an injustice as old as the
Government itself. 1t should be
remedied Immediately. This news
paper will support the passage Of
the essary constitutional
amendment. *.-
