Ironmonger-Statesman.

NEW YORK. .Posterity
y = has been pretty. much
left. to shift for itself in the
scramble out of the depres-
sion. It may be just around
the corner, as Kaufman and
Connolly had it, but Neville
Chamberlain is the only top
bracket statesman who has
given it even a wig-wag late
ly.
Emphatically, raspingly even, he
tells the house of commons that
England must pay as she goes; that
future generations must not be Grip
pied with debt; that 1--WE cannot put
the cost Of rearnament on poster
ity." He presses his excess profits
tax. Like other countries, England
is at the crossroads Of tax or borrow.
Chamberlain says tax. The house is
gloomily acquiescent, with some
opposition forming.
Britain's ironmonger-statesmen of
Birmingham, old Joseph of the or
child bOutonniere, and his sons, Sir
Austen and Neville, all practiced
easy conformity in non-essentials
and stubborn dissent when it seemed
important to disagree. And Neville
Chamberlain, chancellor of the ex-
chequer, took over his fathers or
child and eyeglass and some of his
ideas, but not all of them. Chamber
lain pere probably would have &C
corded managed economy no more
than an angry growl, but there is
more than dash of Maynard
Keynes in Neville Chamberlain
procedure as he pilots England out
of the depression.
It was thirty-one years ago that
Joseph Chamberlain was politically
sidetracked by the tariff issue-he
fought throughout his life for high
tariffs. It was in 1882 that his son
showed through his tariff policies.
They are a persistent breed, with
no Galsworthy at hand to write their
family saga. They are the Forsyths
of upper middle class England.
None of the Chamberlains made
any genuhections to court and So
ciety, and none accepted peerage.
In off-hours, the bird talk in the
old court at IL Downing street in
terests Neville Chamberlain more
than the prevailing London chatter
Of money and war and politics. He
eavesdrops for hours on the bird
salons, noting their cadences and
writing sedate articles about them
for stodgy periodicals like Black
woods.
He is tall, slender, sharp-featured,
concise and precise, hard-boiled and

Thousands Of the words we use
have an entirely opposite meaning
to that of the words from which
they sprang. Pretty, quite conpli-

Saxon praettig, which meant tricky

from the French nice, meaning fool.

New Liberal Leader.

CHARLES p. TAFT, son of the
~ late President, has made sew
eral speeches in recent months
which have pegged him quite def
nitely over in the liberal zone, as
talk Of Republican party reconstruct
ton warns up.
This writer happened to be talk
ing a few days ago with several
informed Republican partisans, one
of whom is New York state
leader, and they were agreed that, if
there should be a liberal-conserv-
alive schism in the party, Mr.. Taft
would be a natural for the liberal
leadership.
"Don't Point" is possibly maxim
Of good reporting as well as be-
havior, but just glance over there
toward Cincinnati and notice that
tall. slender personable lawyer, and
you'll be able to identify him in
1910. Recent ultra-conservative
trends of party leadership have
stirred more and more talk about
MIR. Taft-at least one hears lot
of it hereabouts.
His latest clout into the left bleach
ers was when, at Washington, he
told the Daughters of the American
Revolution what he thought about
trying to smother ideas with an op-
probrious name, suggesting the fu-.
tility Of painting red networks of
communism across every evening
sky"
Sons Of Presidents have never car
ried down any dynastic lineage.
There was the Adams family and
the sons of Lincoln and Garfield
gained cabinet posts, but most of
them have gone their own way in
business and professions. In Yale,
Charles p. Taft was awarded the
Gordon Brown prize as the student
disclosing "the greatest capacity for
leadership"
He won college honors on his mer-
it's, not as a Presidents son. He
earned his varsity letter on the
football team and returned after
the war as an assistant coach. He
entered the war as a private, ad-
vancing to the rank of captain. He
was prosecuting attorney of HamiI-
ton county in 1927 and 1928 and
was one of the most progressive
trail-blazers for the commission gov
eminent. Pertinent just now is his
status as an informed and effective
labor negotiator.

 q poured gasoline on them. I lit it. Helen came to for 8 minute. She crawled 8 little way, about five or six feet. Then she lay still. Jimmy didn't move. I threw some leaves and weeds over them. Then I went back to the railroad station" His Other ''Papa"
 Even after she had linked Chris tie to the staying, Mrs. Tiernan in- sisted that it was she who had talk en the children to Brookhaven. Po- lice were inclined to believe her ac- count, which was supported by Jim- my's story that his "other papa" met the party at the railroad station.
 Mrs. Herman was kept in cell at New York police headquarters last night, because Brookhaven au- thorities feared demonstration should she be sent there. A crowd of about 2,000 gathered in front of the Brookhaven community hall, and several persons were heard threatening violence.
 "Just wait until I see her," said one youth.
 "A woman like that is deserving of no mercy" another said. She will appear in police line up this morning, and probably will be arraigned later on a homicide charge. Police still were question ing Christie.

They had just listened to Mrs. Tiernan's confession that she loved Christie so much she had agreed to sacrifice her children to make room for him in her small apartment.
 Christy Struck Blows
 q held Helen while George hit her." Mrs. Tiernan told police. '"Then I cut her throat" Police believed it unlikely that Mrs. Herman would ever pay the extreme penalty for her unnatural deed. They revealed that her mother was psychopathic case for the last IS years of her life. George Smith, 60, her father and an unemployed machinist, said the mother died eight years ago in the state hospital for the insane at Gen. tral Islip, N. Y. Christie, sWarthy and handsome, admitted that he had told Mrs. Herman he might marry her if the children were out of the way, but he steadtactly denied that he had had any part in the killing.
 Little Helen, who had won the love of the neighbors in the tene- ment district where her mother has a $20-a-month two-room apartment, died from burns rather than from wounds inflicted by carving knife, a pair of scissors and a hatchet, medical examiners believed.
 Little Jimmy Betrays Her
 Jimmy, left for dead in the thorny underbrush a few yards from a main highway, suffered concussion of the brain. But he sat up in hos pital bed, and his confused, baby mind poured out the story that sent detectives after his mother.
 "Mommy took Helen and me on the train," he babbled. When we got off the train George and an- other man were there in a shiny nlI1e rar Ge0rpa iS Tnv other mana 1"

(Continued From Page D born as Helen Smith in Ansonia, Connecticut, and that she married f1agman With the Erie company when she was IT years of age, Herman died four years ago. Smith continued that the girls mother had been mentally incompetent for 20 years and had spent her last years in an insane asylum.
 Miss Florence Faber, assistant town clerk of Ansonia, in checking her records, found one "Semprey Helen Smith, born at 572 Main street, Ansonia, June 28, 1911. Her parents were listed as Cobdb (the father) and Jennie Smith" The father was said to have been a laborer. Miss Faber was of the opinion, however, that there would be no tieup with the present noto- riouS Helen Smith Herman. There is no record of any marriage in the Ansonia town clerks office concern ing a Helen Smith and Herman.
 City Editor Sure
 Charles Flynn, city editor of the Ansonia Sentinel, who also took part in checking the records, stated that there was decided similarity of details. He pointed out that he was almost certain that the Sempry Helen Smith who was born in Ansonia in 1911 had moved to New York in 1914.
 This particular Smith" family which is thought to have moved to New York in 1914 was probably Russian as indicated by the fathers first name, "Codbd" and the girls name, "Sempry." From pictures seen of the now. famous Helen Smith Herman, it is thought that she is of Russian extraction, in the estimation of "The Sentinel"
 Cannot Remember Family
 Residents of the town, who lived in the neighborhood of Main street all their lives, have commented that they cannot remember the Smith family. The Main street district is semi residential; Seni-business.
 A tavern now occupies the site of 572 Main street where Sempry Helen Smith of Ansonia was born. The police department of Ansonia today started to conduct an inves- tigation to attempt Identification. The name Helen Smith" was the general topic for discussion on every street-corner and in every ldle moment today.

(Continued from Page D the new cabinet. But Prieto was regarded as the big man.
 The result of the cabinet crisis that caused Francisco Largo Cabal- lero, Prieto's fellow socialist and old political enemy, to step down from leadership has been to divorce the trade unions from politics.
 Pietro is expected to begin work at once to enlist in the army as soldiers under army discipline the hundreds of thousands of volunteer members of the socialist and anar- cho-syndicalist labor unions, "ugt' and "cnt" and put them behind the men now in action. President Given Credit To President Manuel Azana, who has played his part in the civil war so quietly that he has been almost forgotten, was given much credit for the quick solution of the dan gerous cabinet crisis precipitated by dissension among the diverse factions which make up the popular front-communists who paradoxical- ly are comparatively conservative socialists who are half radical, half conservative; political parties and labor unions, each with it's own ideas.
 Largo Caballero made a bid fo1 power as not only premier and wal minister, the posts he held, but for the prime ministry combined with the merged defense ministries = those that Prieto now has.
 In forming cabinet early today Premier Negrin presented a list o1 colleagues who bring the ministry back to the same basis it had before the civil war started last July.
