ItaIy's Fuzzy-Wuzzy

The "great delusion" of profitable col- onieS continues to get black eye from Ethiopnan news. So far, at least, the only benefit that country brings to Italy is that it serves as a training place for Italian troops. And, of course, as a theme for Mussolini'S oratory. Having annexed all those black men, with their verminouS and fever-infested land, he can talk about the Italian Empire.
 But that proud title loses its glamor when hearers know the facts. And the kind of bush fighting required to keep those perniciouS Ethiopian citizens out of the Italian soldiers hair requires an expensive standing army and continu. ous campaign, of a sort that provides little training for modern warfare against civilized enemies. The only crop in Ethiopia is rebellion. And the rebels there seem to be spiritual brothers of Kipling's "Fuzzy-Wuzzy," the "poor, benighted 'eathen, but first-rate fightin' man." who was keeping British Tommies busy in the Sudan a generation ago. Whenever 1t isn't raining in Ethiopia, and also when it is, the terrain is crawl ing with pesky natives. They sneak into the settlements, they take pot-shots at careless soldiers, they even attack forts and fortified towns. Mussolini has had to send more troops and scores of bombing planes just recently, to protect the rail- road from Djibouti to the capital. The "white mans burden" is heavy.

Sit Down, Talk It Over

The industrial and social conference 2 that was held in Hartford earlier this week is striking example of American ism In no country in the world, we make this assertion with reservations, could : different groups of people get together like this to air their opinions and to seek solution to common problem. It was rather in keeping with it's traditions and its practices that the conference was .sheld and conducted under the auspices of the Catholic diocese of Hartford.
 It is hard to say what. practical good will come from the exchange of ideas at Hartford But at least interests that are supposedly at opposite sides of the social and industrial scale were represented, had their say, and listened to what others -- had to say. There were some fine thoughts brought before the assembly. No doubt putting them into execution will be the most difficult part of the procedure, but it does seem that problem approached in this fashion is half solved.

How a Child Labor "Law" Might Operate
 BY BRUCE CATION

You have heard, probably, that child labor is one evil which tends to cure itself; that 1t has been do. clining steadily for years and that in time 1t will more or less auto. maticaily disappear.
 But right there Is where you may Do making Q big mistake Tom Ireland, radio news common. tator and author, has written . solid, heavily-documented book called "Child Labor" (Putnafn: $260), in which he asserts that child labor Is on the increase and that 1t can be ended only by passage of the pending amend. iment to the federal constitution.
 MT. Ireland's book derives Q great deal of force from the fact that he takes up each of Che widely. .publicized objections to the amendment in turn, disposes of it, and passes on to the next.
 Is the amendment Q youth control" law2 Would 1t set up Q swollen federal bureaucracy? Would 1t give the government control over schools9 Would 1 { keep farm boys from helping their parents with the choresP Would it be cumbersome and expensive to administer? Would it be c step toward dictatorship?
 MT. Ireland devotes c chapter to each question, and winds ups by demonstrating - fairly conclusive. ly, it seems to mo - that oil of these objections result either from misunderstanding or from wilful refusal to understand. Over and over, he emphasizes: the ainend- ment Is merely Q grant of power, not c law.
 Substitute measures, recently strike MT. Ireland as ineffective. State regulation, he insists, does not work. Only fed. eral control, exercised through powers conferred by the pending amendment, can do the trick.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-12-11

State Budget Director Benjamin P. Whitaker says 1t will be impossible to figure out how much the state has saved by government reorganization until next June. At the close of the current fiscal year, and only then, can it be proved or disproved that revamping the state gov- ernment has worked out well. That's true, of course, and the results really couldn't be expected to show up for at least a year. Still there seems to be q pretty good opinion s among officials ; that at the best interests of the taxpayer. We have been; informed through the press of the state that the deficit is lower and that
 next summer 1t may be even lower than 1t is right now. This will enable the state officials to cut down on the total amount of bonds to be sold from the $25, 100000 issue to retire the deficit. All of which is encouraging to the average man, who finds the cost of government rather heavy.

lnvulnerable Japan

Premier Mussolini's newspaper, "The Italian People," warns the United States not to attempt any strong action against Japan, because Japan is invulnerable." 7 Uncle Sam, operating rather cannily in < the persent delicate Asiatic business, probably hasn't any intention of trying r"strong action" But be that as 1t may, is Japan really "invlunerable"? If 1t were, Tokyo statesmen and their friends would hardly be putting out so many "feelers" of foreign sentiment and so many hints 1, that Japan would like to make peace while she's winning.
 It looks from here as if the Japanese imperialists have bitten off, in China, more than they intended at this time, and more than they can swallow. They seem to have been encouraged thereto by Chi nese strategy, which is credited with deliberate plan to lure the invading armies southward and inland. That has divided the Japanese forces, stretched their lines thin and made 1t harder and more costly to hold what they are gain ing. China'S final recourse is doubtless guerrilla warfare over an irregular front measuring thousands of miles. All of which suggests possible bankruptcy for Japan, even in victory.
 Meanwhile "the bear that walks like c man" glares over the Mongolian border and seems to be getting ready to avenge the humiliation of 1904. Japan bulks big now, but not big enough to fight China and Russia together. And If Russia at- tacks, then this present conquest in China may crumble. Japan just now talks big, and keeps on grabbing territory; but we may yet see her begging for some friends to help her let loose.

Three Connecticut representatives

Three Connecticut representatives - Herman P. Kopplemann of Hartford, William Fitzgerald of Norwich, and Wil- liam Citron of Middletown, are among the five New England democrats who arc calling on the federal government to assume the entire cost of flood control in the Connecticut and Merrimack River valleys. The proposal will probably be submitted as an amendment to the 1o36 flood control act. Unfortunately many things are left unexplained. We can pre- sume, though, that such underwriting by Uncle Sam would give him complete and undisturbed control of all rights, which the states now oppose.

fathers have written them in the Constitution of the United States.
 Intelligent industry has heard the cry. Knowing how to balance pro- duction against consumption for It's own gain, intelligent industry is now asked wisely to meet the laborer, as e mutual brother, with mutual rights and good will, and find a just formula for the equitable division of profit. A living wage is the plea of the church in advance of enforced social reform.
 To abolish profit and property as some suggest, and substitute by force, another state, where every" one owns all and none own any, iS no solution of this problem.
 With Q rebirth of personal ethical standards of justice, Individual !ni. tiative can do much; industrial co- operation, moved by Q correct pub. lic conscience, can do much more; and governing power, likewise en. frightened, can supervise mildly the desired change.
 The voice of the supreme pon. tiff, Plus xI, has rung throughout the world with the cry of @ living wage for the workman. This cry because of 1t Is just, Is on the lips of Catholic and non. Catholic, and they look to the church for sym. pathy and material support.

A Thought for Today
Here and There

It is interesting to note what is taking place in other Connecticut cltleS these days as officials take stock of their re- sources and prepare to draw up budget for the wear to come. Waterbury stands unioue in that half-mill tax reduction has already been guaranteed This has been a characteristic of our city govern ment during the last six or seven years. Instead of going up our tax rate has dropped. We are glad to see that the tendency is still in that direction.
 Up in Hartford Mayor Thomas J. , Speilacy. preparing to enter his second term, had a heart to heart talk with department heads and business men Of the city. He pointed out what normally might be spent by the city in the coming wear. He also showed that if the requests asked by department heads were granted in making up the budget 1t would be nee" essarv to increase the tax rate nine mills. 70 It is now 26.7 mills. He made three altern" atives. One was that the increases demanded be granted and the tax rate jumped to at least 35 mills Another was that the tax rate be increased to 31.5 mills. Still another was that the existing tax rate be kept by reducing or eliminating cer- tain services the city now performs. This latter action is necessary because of the fact that revenue is less than it was five and six years ago, while services are on the increase. The solution will probably { be compromise with tax increase almost imperative. 4,
 Waterbury has good hopes that during the coming year it's government will be so administered that it may be found to keep well within the budget. This, of course, does not take into account any extraordinary demands, such as might be made in the way of relief appropria- . tions. That we can do this and at the same time maintain city payrolls at former levels is proof indeed that our administrators are of good calibre.

capital and labor, the right to bargain. To good many people these phrases are just so many words. They don't under stand them and, truth to tell, aren't worrying about whether they ever do un- derstand them. We have an unfortunate habit of accepting seni-factS in the United States as facts, so long as someone will vouch for them. It is high time that many of us got out of the rut of modern day living and decided to be a bit simpler in our existence.
