Big Week Ahead.

Trouble always comes in punches, so
the world need not be surprised if it
finds lot to worry about in events
during the coming week. AS if two
wars" were not enough to crowd good
local news off page one the League of
Nations is to convene, the annual
Parteitag of the National Socialist
party is to be held at Nuremberg, an
eight-power conference is to meet to
consider international policing of the
Mediterranean against 'piratical' sub
marines, and the British cabinet, aban-
doning its customary practice OF not
meeting in the Summer months, is to
gather Wednesday to discuss both Spain
and the Far East.
Any one of these in addition to the
Chinese and Spanish wars would be
sufficient to give the American news
paper reader his fill Of foreign affairs,
but to have them happening all at once
Is rather much Of good thing.
It is no peaceful session that faces
the League Council and Assembly There
are already several protests from the
Spanish loyalists ready to be taken up,
including charges of armed invasion by
Italy because Of the assistance Fascist
volunteers" led by Italian staff generals,
are giving in the steady advance of the
insurgents under Gen. Franco The
latest example of that help was in the
Santander campaign, at the conclusion
Of which II Duce and Gen. Franco
exchanged felicitations.
But perhaps more important Is the
question of what the League will do
about China, inasmuch as q demand
from Nanking for foreign Intervention
against Japan y already on the record.

Statues in the Park.

Statues in the Park.
If statues in the park could eat,
Or go to see a show,
Or have the hours with joy replete
That common creatures know,
Instead of standing silent there
In motionless array,
To rust or crumble in the air,
Where throngs all careless stray;
If statues in the park could dance
And find reward at last
For men who bravely took a chance
And struggled in the past,
Oh, then some reason I could see
For toll from morn till dark
To gather fame and strive to be
A statue in the park.

De VALERA SEES
UNIFIED IRELAND
FREE OF BRITAIN
Cay Dublin Inaugurates
New State of Fire
Rx CHARLES A. SMITH

DUBLIN. Dec. 90 Q.N.SO.-
Foreseeing a unified Ireland, free
of England within 20 years
canon De Valera today inaugu
rated the new State Of Fire, sue
cessor to the l5-year-old Irish Free
State.
De Valera, who is expected to
become premier, led members OF
his cabinet in a state drive
through Dublin's beflagged streets
to the pro-cathet raj. where a
Votive mass was sung.
Religious ceremonies were held
by all communities and creeds.
ON RADIO TONIGHT
Tonight De Valera will broad
cast a statement on the new Ere
pronounced so m e t h n G ike
Sarah-from radio Athlone, which
will be picked up in America.
IN a public referendum voted
last July the new basic law was
approved by majority OF 13l,16l
Of the electorate.
The constitution establishes a
theoretical republic for all Ire
land. Under its terms, Ulster does
not exist. The new postage
stamps and all official maps, docu-
mentS and plans will emphasize
this.
Also with the coming into effect
of the new charter, the majority
Of Irishmen hope the king across
the water'-the King of England
will cease to have any slgnltl-
cance for most Irish people.
De Valera's brain chlld-he
sp,n. two years laboriously draft
inq the new constitution article
bv article by his own hand-omlts
all reference to the English KING
or crown. It deletes the oath to
the King, mentioned in the old
constitution.
FEALTY TO ERE
Army officers, judges, officers
of state, in fact all those required
to be sworn in, will swear fealty
to Fire alone, through its preSi-
dent.
Yet De Valera told International
News Service he does not want to
be bad friends with England.
I'VE want to have friendly re-
lations with Britain" he said,
but insisted that the basis Of
such relations must be our right
to freedom, which we will not
give up"
He explained the apparent dis
crepancy in the title of the coun-
try and the fact that Ireland still
has a northern and southern gov
ernment by saying that it ex-
pressed the desire of himself and
the Irish people for a unified Ire
land some time in the future.
Il do not doubt that long be-
fore 20 years at most we will
have the whole of this island as
free as the 26 counties of it are
today" he declared.
Though De Valera, for years
president of the executive council,
will lose his presidential title un-
Ger the new constitution, he will
remain the number one political
power of the country.
His constitution provides for a
ceremonial and highly paid preSi-
dent, a prime minister, a deputy
prime minister, the usual cabinet,
and parliament of two chambers
Dali and Senate.

 All the stores will be operated as consumer cooperatives through one centrl cooperative. All residents may join this single cooperative, thus making them eligible for all the CO., operative benefits.
 The stores will be run without subsidy from the government, as normal business enterprises. They will purchase from regular sources and all profits will accrle for the benefit of the residents.

ARMOUR PLANT UP AGAINST LAW
Over 100 (;ounts Charging Violation of Labor Laws x. of State

More than 100 counts of violation of the state labor laws will Dc filed against the manager of the local branch of Armour & Go. and foreman at the same concern when they are arraigned before Judge John F. McGrath in city court to- morrow morning. The accused are John Tice, 47, of Cheshire, manager of the Waterbury Armour branch and Ulrich Bruegmann, S6, of 2s Arch street, foreman in charge ot a department at the plant. Warrants were served on the two men yester- day by Capt. William Duggan.
 Two Violations
 Two general violations of the, la- bor law are charged. The first is that the two accused have worked women and minors more than nine hours daily. The second is that they did not keep accurate records of the working hours of employees. Prosecu- tor Charles Summa told The Demo- crat that 100 or more specific counts in connection with the first general charge will be filed, and "at least several" specific counts on the sec- ond general charge.
 Orders of Labor Dept.
 Prosecutor Summa issued the warrants at the request of Inspec- tor John R. Dolan of the state labor department. The latter sought the warrants after lengthy investiga- ton of working conditions at the Armour plant. It is understood that the two defendants will ask to- morrow that their cases be contin- ued to allow sufficient time for the preparation of a legal defense.
