whether the vast regions in the Arctic Circle can be opened for habitation from the more temperate climates of the world, and especially for those races who have lived there for generations"
 Historically, races and civilizations seem to shift from cold to warm climates rather than the opposite. And 1t might be supposed that, in any matter of this sort, individuals would mostly settle the matter for themselves, Altering into any region that seemed to offer them better opportunity. Even countries with die. tatorial governments have seldom been successful in transplanting people where they didn't want to go.
 Unless for sound reasons of interna- tional policy and military expediency, why make any unnatural attempt at transplanting people from the temperate zone to the Arctic? As far as Americans are concerned, with our vast areas at home, our big opportunity probably lies les in developing and using the land we have here

Russian Help

The new treaty between China and Russia suggests that the latter will soon be more intimately connected with the Far East struggle than she is yet. An agreement not to hurt the other fellow may lead to actual cooperation. There would be obvious advantages for Russia if she could weaken an ambitious and persistent neighbor like Japan, without actually going to war. Whatever helps China, hurts Japan, and whatever hurts Japan strengthens Russia in the Orient.
 It is not surprising to read that Russia has already sent China fleet of war planes, spared from the Soviet'S own rather ample supply. There is talk of Russian officers flocking to China to help train great army for defense. China obviously has plenty of human war ma terial her lack in training and equip ment. Russia can provide both, furtively or openly.
 That may cause further complications. If the Chinese war, with such help, should seem to be going against Japan, the latter in desperation might decide to take Rus sia on, too, as Germany in the last war seemed to be taking all corners. And nobody could tell where it would end. Russia is really an Asiatic rather than a European power, especially under the present regime. The efforts of Europe and America should be, whatever hap pens, to confine that war to Asia.

A TEDIOUS" SUMMER
 (Hartford TimeS)

Last winter was 50 mild that peo- pie almost complained of the mo- notony of 1t, although welcoming immunity from the heavy snows and severe cold which recent previous years had brought. Many said, i've shall pay for 1t when summer comes," expecting that natures old law of averages would strike a bal- ance by means of 6 "warm" season abnormally cool.
 The experience has not been such. Moisture and steamy heat came with tenacity parallel for which tries the memory of the oldest inhabitants to recall. For August, particularly, 32 years of of1lcial Weather Bureau records do not supply a story of a summer SO trying. The mean tenn perature in Hartford has touched 76 degrees for the month. The num- Der of days with 90 degree or more maximum has been unprecedented, as also the amount of rainfall and murkiness of skies.
 More than 30 years ago New Ha- ven had 6 summer in which the mean temperature for June, July and August was 30 degrees. Colonial records show several summers in which the plusage of heat was great CT than this year. This summers quality may be new to modern ex- perience but not to Connecticuts historical climate.
 Oldest circumstance is that the continuance of abnormal heat has run beyond all forecasts of meteor ological experts, confounded "cycle'' theories, and raised Q complete CO., nundrum as to what next winters visitationS may bring.

Hateful Day Approaches

Republicans of Connecticut seem to be A bit wary of that fateful day when 1t Will be necessary for their party organization to choose a new chairman, new na- tional committeeman, and new treas urer. All three positions were held by J. Henry Roraback up to the time of his death earlier this year No effort has been made to fill any of them due to the fact that political activities so far as the State Central Committee is concerned have been at standStill and such routine matters as came along were capably handled by other officers and committee members.
 But Republicans have not been inac- tive with regard to filling all three places. In fact, last week it was pretty reliably stated in the press that Samuel F. Pryor of Greenwich would be chosen the new national committeeman. So far as state leadership is concerned or legislative activity MT. Pryor's name failed to regis ter, at least in this part of Connecticut. However, that would not prevent him being very good national committee man and an able successor to the most active c. o. P. National Committeeman the state ever had
 As to the chairmanship of the party, well, that's quite different story. Some say it's in the bag for Major John Buck lev of Union, erstwhile head of the State Liquor Commission; others maintain that Colonel Raymond F. Gates, who, when deprived of his excellent post as State Agent, was shifted to the job of commandant of the Soldiers Home at Noroton, will be the lucky fellow. And there are others in the field, too. All are AoY, will be reached when the state committee meets.
 The slight matter of choosing a new treasurer also comes up and there is talk of soothing feelings of defeated chair manship candidate with this. Small chance of that! The job may give "would-be" leaders a chance to jockey for slight favors," but the real crux of the "behind-t d-the-scenes" fight right now is the chairmanship. And 1t may be decided abruptly before September ends.

"WHIFFLE-TREE" OR NOT?
 (NeW York Times)

When is @ whiffe-tree not e whiffle-tree? The answer seems tc be when you see 1t in the dictionary where the weight of authority is tip- ped in favor of "whipple- II Mr. Webster is right, then every farmer in the United States is wrong and the whitfle-tree must be manufactured exclusively of apple wood.
 The question arose the other night in @ certain newspaper oftice in con- nection with the WPA circus strong man and the whiffle-tree attached to the four horses he was yanking around. Now editors, while not ex- actly slaves of the lamp, like Alad- dtn's genii, are hopeless slaves of the dictionary which is printed in America persumable for American usage. Oddly enough, 1t was Eng lands Oxford dictionary which came [ othe rescue and resolved the pre- dicament, for there under the head of "whipple-tree" was also offered: 'Whiffle-tree, the invariable Amer ican variant of splinter-bar."
 But there is classic English auth ority for whiffle-tree too. Lewis Car roll declares flatiy that '"The Jab- berwock, with eyes of flame, came whiffling through the tulgey wood. It is obvious that the Jabberwock was advancing through . grove of whiffle-trees.

New Assistant Secretary of State in charge of these bureaus is George Messersmith, recently minister to Austria, a former consul who knows his onions.
 The Eastern European and Western European Divisions have been moulded into one European Division, and at it's head is J. Pierrep0nt M0fgat, a young man of intelligence but dyed-in-the- wool Bourbon background. He is related to J. Pierpont Morgan.
 The Latin American and Mexi- can Divisions also have been combined into the American Re- publics Division and placed in charge of Larry Duggan, one of the youngest but ablest executives in the State Department.

 remains in political charge of pr.
 Stanley K. HoFnbecIE, who thinks
 that war between the United

 ble as his morning breakfast.
 But by and large, the rustiness has been rubbed off the inachin- cry of foreign affairs and the staid and solemn State Depart ment is functioning more effi- ciently and more hur1anely than ct any time in years.

 Several divisions have been left untouched by Welles' reorganiza- ton boom, Q definite tribute to their chiefs. One of these Is the press division, in charge of Mi- chael McDermott, a Republican appointee but more efilcient than most New Deal press experts. Mrs. Ruth Shipley also Is re. inaining at the head of the eff. cient passport division, one of the few in the world where you can get Q passport in ten minutes Dave Salmon, whose filing system has been studied by the Foreign Oftlces of many countries, continues in charge of Communi- cations and Records.

Taking No Chances

Feeling that perhaps WPA historians might take liberties with their material at hand the New York State Historical Association is endeavoring to be the last court of appeals on what may or may not be printed in "The New York State Guide" which will be one of the forty eight WPA books put on as an index to the states. The New England group now in production has already produced one mild upset. Massachusetts, officials are disturbed and even irate at what was printed in the Bay State Guide In fact an effort has been made to hold up the second printing.
 Perhaps thinking of this the New York State Historical Association has urged that the text of the WPA guide to New York "be made to conform with the re- quirements of special committee to be appointed by the association. ."This matter came up at a recent gathering of the society, but we understand that the New York State Guide has already been compiled by Professor Bertrand M. Wainger of Union College, state director of the WPA writer's project.
 It's too bad that the society's History of the State of New York" was not com plete in it's ten volumes for references in the WPA project, but perhaps printers proofs were furnished so that valuable material might be incorporated. The ac- tion of the Historical Association is meritorious. After all if a poor guide is issued or one that is obviously directed to purposes other than directing interest to- wards the states attractions, then no good purpose is served.
 Another feature of the society's meet ing which we cannot overlook in closing is its resolution urging more study of his tory, particularly that dealing with our colonial period, in public schools. A fur ther recommendation was for more his tory work in high schools, which isn't bad idea at all, despite the modern trend towards studies which are supposed to equip the boy or girl with the weapons to combat big business of the day.
