Comes Back Home

The United States has recaptured the Davis Cup, emblematic of supremacy in the field of international tennis. After a ten-year sojourn in France and Eng land the cup is being returned to the United States by 'rookie team" com posed chiefly of Donald Budge, the red headed Californian comet. If we over look for the moment Frankie Parker, the schoolboy stylist, we do so with the inten- ton of returning to his part in the fray later. To Budge must go full measure for the triumph that makes this nation once again the topranking tennis nation.
 The statistics of the 1887 Davis Cup play will show that it was Budge who accounted for the majority of the singles victories. It was Budge who teamed with Gene Mako usually to clinch matters with convincing wins in doubles play. Certainly it was Budge's fine play which enabled Mako to snap out of his cratic streak in the doubles match against fairly weak English doubles team Mon- day So we say that if praise is to be given for the Davis Cup victory, let generous portion of 1t go to Donald Budge.
 There will be those who may claim that we would never have regained the cup had the English team not been weak ened by Fred Perrys withdrawal from amateur play last year. That's easy to believe, but you can never prove 1t, be- cause there are too many contradicting possibilities. Remember, though, that to gain the challenge round the United States eliminated the usual strong Aus tralan team and a rather superb Ger man squad. England was admittedly weak, but it had Bunny Austin and we still regard him as one of the great Davis Cup players of all times. Steadily over- looked Austin has always been an im- portant factor in the British defense of the cup.
 It remained for Frankie Parker to clinch the cup argument yesterday when he handcuffed the doughty Hare. There may have been more strategy in the way the Americans played Hare than has been printed. He gave Budge quite workout last Saturday when the two of them went 28 games to decide the first set. It was in Budge's favor, as were the next two by much smaller scores. It certainly could be said that Budge more than Soft- ened Hare for Parker, whereas his own game suffered not bit as witness his Sparkling exhibition in the doubles on Monday and his four-set defeat of Aus tin on Tuesday. At any rate Hare was no match for Parker whose play of Tuesday was quite in contrast to that of Saturday. This must have confounded those English tennis experts who found Parker three or four years away from his best tennis.

Working Of the Debt

The Twentieth Century Fund presents the national debt in a slightly different way. It would take the population of the United States ten months, working seven days week, to pay off the public debt with its earnings, Using one days in- come week for that purpose, the $36,- 000,o00,000 debt would be paid off in less than six years. And if, by any happy development, the income increased and the debt did not, the time could be short ened approximately.
 The point of view on that figure will vary. Some citizens will be appalled, at the size of the debt and will consider the burden oppressive. Such people will hardly be cheered by learning that the British population would have to work two and a quarter years to pay of its public debt.
 Some, probably minority, feel relieved that the debt is no larger, considering the times and what the country has been through in the depression, added to the high cost of present and future defense, and the continuing pensions and other charges of past wars. The important thing at present is to keep the national debt from going higher, and that little job is up to the plain citizens as well as the government.

Maybe we all should move to Bedford, Va It's town of 4,000 population and since early in 1885 its citizens haven't had to pay local tax. That must make a lot of them kind of sore at Uncle Sam and the state government for imposing such levies. A few facts show that the town owns its own light and water plants. Revenue from operation of these two plants enables the city government to operate along modern lines If that's the case then all cities and towns ought to buy up gas, electric, transportation, and water companies, privately owned. And If they did that what howl would go up from the very people benefited. Just listen to the anvil chorus at work on the IVA, the federal governments venture into private enterprise as repre- sented by the light and power compan- les. Some communities are just fortu- nate enough to be composed of men, women, and children who go for some thing that insures them of relief from all tax burdens. But transport the same system to another community and you'll find out 1t won't work

Becomes More Complicated

If New York City didn't have enough to do in competing with sweltering hot weather and sweltering hot prediction campaign, 1t certainly has now with the sudden death of James J. Dooling, Tam many Hall leader. While MT. Dooling has been in i'll health for a long time and only recently returned to active duties at the wigwan, certainly he had been ex- pected to take an active part in the forth coming election, which promises to be one of the most exciting in the great me- tropolis' long history of politics.
 While Mr. Dooling may not have occu- pied the eye of the public as long as some of his predecessors in the chair of "boss" over New York's greatest and oldest po- litical organization, he certainly was an able leader while he held office. It may have been bit unfortunate that he rose to his position at time when the "hall" was stirred and disturbed by many cross currents of opinion and sentiment. It would have been interesting to see how he would have fared after this coming city election.
 Dooling's personal endorsement of Sen ator Royal s. Copeland for the mayoralty nomination, while other county leaders were rallying behind the candidacy of Grover Whelan meant that he would have the toughest political fight of his lengthy career, which his comparatively youthful age of A years would seem to belle. He was typical product of New York's political districts, succeeding his father as a leader after career which embraced teaching and studying law on the side. He loomed as potentially great leader. It is unfortunate that iii health curbed his efforts and then brought him eternal peace.

honey "Garsley" and IS and P", high balls whose contents may be guessed at by a brilliant guesser. For the benefit of others, it may be explained that one is made of parsley and garlic and the other, also known as Children's Cocktail, contains spinach and parsley.
 There are several dozen other varieties, not including the ordinary tomato juice cocktail, which is not romantic enough for dispensing in public places. The way a liberal-minded public laps up these ter rible things bitterly grisves many an old fashioned toper. But there is probably no way to stop 1t. Prohibiting such drinks would only make 'em more popular.

Minority Presidents Election of De Valera Another Example of the Multiple Party System Where the Winner
 Does Not Represent Majority of Voters
(FRoM THE HARTFORD T1MEs)

up Q larger total than did the de Valera party.
 It is an undesirable but often un- avoidable result of the multiple party system that the winning can- didate does not represent c major ity of the voters. In the United States that Is rarely the case. When there is Q split in one of the two major parties as in 1912 the winner may lack Q majority in e three-c contest. Woodrow Wilson received approximately l.- 300,000 fewer popular votes than Theodore Roosevelt and Taft com bined.
 In 1924 when there were again three major candidates in the field, Coolidge's margin was so ample that his popular vote exceeded by nearly 2,600,000 the combined to- talS of Davis and La Toilette.
 Tn the Irish situation 1t happens that one of the minor groups, the Labor Party, supports do Valera in most of his policies even though the Laborites retain their political Identity. Worse than c minority President Is the dictation of 6 small bloc, Q minority group, which holds the balance of power and paralyzea legislative action. It was this dead- ening effect of multiple party cross- currents that brought the republic In disrepute in Germany and help- cd to pave the way for Hitler.
 President de valeras policy is likely to be curbed or moderated not 50 much by lack of parliament tary votes as by fear that he may lose more popular support as Q re- suit os unfavorable economic ef- fleets of his anti British policies His isolationist platform rneana heavy losses to Irish meat and oth- CT commodity exporters to B-itain, q loss which Is being healed by gov- ernment subsidy. But that, in turn, means c heavy tax burden. It is likely that dc Valera will find 1t necessary to become more prac- tical in his enthusiasm for complete Irish sovereignty.

GOVERNMENT NEEDS STEADY IMPROVEMENT, MAINTAINS

Editor, Waterbury Democrat:

AFdAbVkp V9SGAbuAy A@VhsSSA&Va
 The system of management of Municipal, State and Federal gov- ernment needs steady improvement and adoption of progressive methods to meet the growing burden of pulp lie debts which are equivalent to brewing consumer and property tax action.
 The failure of governments to keep in step with the progress of private enterprise is matter of public records. I &
 Defective judgment and lack of potential interest by the political parties who are supposed to admin ister the nations interests are not equal to the demands of national progress.
 The law of creation Is progress in life and benefit to those who are the cause of the obtained results.
 Business enterprise which b part of our social system should serve to give people security in accordance with the produced results.
 Governments also should be bene- ficial to the citizens and the nations welfare and not detrimental to their rights of social and professional Il. berty. .9.c
 Government, the nations constitu- ton at arbitrator which represents the peoples will, should be able to keep the daily life and wealth of the people preserved against any constitutional Interference because the people and the natural resources actually represent the steady pro- greSS of the nation.
 Enforced power of the ruling fac- tons should adjust personal greed- mess for the good of the nation.
 To keep balanced economic pro- greSs and regaining public wealth for generation to come private enter prise and government must represent and give the best management for the people so that peace and eco- homie progress Is secured for the nation and our neighbour, the World.

Months of study and preparation, however, prefaced the actual job itself.

Labor Strife Effect on the Small Town

Tn these days when the strife of labor troubles strikes to the core of the American community
 1t Is interesting to lay hands on such Q book as doetz Jeter's The Strikers" (Ferderick A. Stokes, $25o). .''
 Here is 6 volume that is not concerned primarily with the the- ory, the history or the large as- poets of the labor movement, but rather with the reactions of @ small towns citizenry to e strike In the towns one big industry, It's shoe factory.
 The books action, and 1t is there in generous gobs, moves smoothly. There is suspense aplenty and some of the scenes carry 6 terrific punch. The things that happen have happened in many places the past year.
 While Jeter has done c good job on the strikers themselves, he b even better when dealing with Waverly (no doubt his own Mo- berly, Mo- and it's people in gc1- eral-the clothing store proprietor, the man who rtiis the book shop, the garagemen, the mayor, the po- litical boss, the harlot. the house. wife, and all the others.
 While the story Is forcefiil, 1t rafiibles most of the way. There are plenty of loose ends. The reader sits iri on numerous city council meetings, arbitration pow- VOWS, saloon fights, and even . couple of seductions. He meets ct least 50 characters through the books 300-odd pages. But sonie- how he remembefs them ail.
 If you're looking 10 rvitFioiic criticism of Messrg. Lewis or Green or 0irdier or Roosevelt, you won't find it iu "The DtFik- CTS" But you may, for the read. ing, understand q bit better why We have had labor troubles for 60 long and what the prospects are tor tileif conformation
