It is no deep dark secret that Eng land is feverishly cultivating us, hoping to WOO us to her side as she did twenty years ago. Is our foreign policy to be linked with England's destiny? Are We to be the hand maidens of the British Foreign Off, flee? Is our fleet to be augmented so that it can uphold England's prestige, concessions and interests in the Far East while she is busy maneuvering her fleet in the Med- iterranean during her hypnotic study of Mussolini? Is our front line of defense to be limited in the Pa cific to Alaska, Hawaii and Panama or are we to cross the International Date Line to tell Japan that she cannot take over China just as England murdered savages in her plundering of Africa and as Bel gium butchered the aborigines in her exploitation of the Congo?
 Are we to confine our ism" fight against the totalitarian states to our continental limits? Or are we to beard the Caesarian lions in their dens and send troops and ships abroad because our State Depart ment and Anglophiles have become infatuated with the tub-thumping and breast beating of the British couriers, lecturers.

WHO WANTS TIPPING?
Hartford Courant)

The bad practice of tipping con- tinues because tipping is a social custom, and social customs are hard to change. Certainly few, if any, organized labor groups favor prac- tice that does not provide standard wages, that in fact puts the re- SponSibliity for living wage on the customer. And few, if any, cus- toners like the idea of paying for services in this indirect fashion as If the employment of walters, pull man car porterS, hat check girls, servants and countless others were their responsibility. Rather let the actual employer pay decent wage to those whose services are essential to the proper operation of his busi- ness, and, if necessary, charge the customer a little more to cover the added expense.
 Mrs. Roosevelt has added her word to the campaign against tip ping, and has suggested that the practice be eliminated. Probably the most practical step that can be talk en to this end is the addition of a proportional charge to each bill and the distribution of such funds among the employees concerned. It is a procedure that is common abroad and there is no reason why it should not work equally well here. It could include most workers whose livelihood depends upon the bene- ficience of those they serve.

Mediation Instead of War

The Dominican Republic has agreed to pay it's neighboring country of Haiti S75O,OOO indemnification for the whole sale massacre of HaitianS several months ago, and civilization inches forward another notch. It is not particularly important that actual money is paid to Haiti Presumably $750,000 wouldn't go very far even if it could be accurately dis tributed among the survivors of the wholesale machete killings in which from three to ten thousand Haitians were reported to have died. But the fact that Santo Domingo with it's comparatively superior military strength, is paying vastly weaker Haiti the money, thereby confesSing and agreeing to amends, IS most important.
 Dark, wood-fringed Massacre river sep arates the two republics on the island of HiSpaniola Santo Domingo has long raised sugar for an American market, thriving with the high prices. Haiti had no such industry, but HaitianS were will ing to cross Massacre river and chop sugar cane for Wealthier Santo Domingo planters for 20 cents day - and Santo Domingo planters were eager to have them. Then the price of sugar dropped and production fell off. But already thousands of Haitians were in Santo Domingo, married, rearing families, resi- dents of as long as 20 years.
 That was the seat of the trouble-that and the blending of French and Negro blood and when hard times struck the island, Santo Domingo grumbled about the Haitians on the wrong side of Mas sacre river and what to do with them. Apparently the solution was found, if peculiarly, for by night, according to sur vivors, the HaitianS were hauled from their tiny homes and butchered with machetes, butchered by the hundreds, and the bodies left along the banks of Massacre river.
 When these afcts came out of the in- terior and reached the seaport, foreigners looked at Haiti'S president Stenio Vincent for warning retaliation. But instead he placed the matter before the Permanent Committee of Inter-American Concilia- tion, under the Gondra Treaty of 1923, which guaranteed amiability between the two nations
 The comimttee investigated and fixed the blame. An accord was reached and laid before the Congresses of both nations. Both agreed to the proposal that Santo Domingo pay the $750,000 indemnifica- tion. The Dominican government agreed to continue investigations and gave the affair full publicity. Both governments agreed to prevent future like occurrences.
 It was as simple as that. Even with tongue -in-cheek view of the Dominican investigations and further action against

More Development

About 10000 acres will be added to the state forests in Connecticut shortly. Ar rangement are now being completed with the Farm Security Administration, successor to the Resettlement Adminis- tration, whereby the state will lease for 99 years certain properties in eastern Connecticut. Acquisition of these lands actually began three years ago when the Resettlement Administration started It's work here of removing farmers from ln- ferior lands. The abandoned property was offered to the state for forest or park development.
 All of the lands will fit very nicely i'll far-reaching plans that the State Park and Forest Commission has had for some time. In addition some of the property will be given to the State Board of Fish cries and Game which will use it in ex- banding wild-fowl sanctuaries, fish hatcheries, etc. All in all the land is most acceptable and will in time provide fur ther recreational possibilities for thous- ands of Connecticut residents. But it means. of course, that the state must spend some money in development in ad- dition to any it may already have allo- cated.
 And this brings up the problem that was presented a week or so ago by Pro- lessor Herman H. Chapman, chairman of the State Board of Parks and Forests. He contended that in the cause of a new type of department budgeting and reor- ganized state departments his own was Suffering and was to continue to suffer. The fact must be apparent by this time that whatever we have done in the past in providing funds for state parks and forests isn't going to be sufficient for the future. The system is growing rapidly. Its needs must be taken care of before long in the manner indicated by those who are familiar with the situation. The mere fact that 10000 acres are added to the existing 69,0OO acres should occasion some thought as to the financial man. agement.

A Book a Day
British Aristocracy
 Has Changed a Lot
BY BRUCE CAPTION

The lesser breeds without the law who have been making snoots at the British lion of late must have been reading some of the recent novels about the British "uppah" classes. That, at least, would ac- count for their apparent feeling that the empire is not what it used to be.
 A fair sample of the sort of book have in mind is Mary Bor- den's Strange Week-End" (Har- pers: $2.50).
 This one tells about a Christ mas party at one of those proud old country houses where the tra- dition is so thick you could cut it with a knife. But the tradition, apparently, is about all there is left-and even it is wearing a bit thin in spots.
 For the high-toned Englishmen and Englishwomen who are as- sembled here are pretty sorry lot. They are the wealthy landed aristocrats who have lost most of their money, most Of their land, and most of the high standards which justified their aristocracy They look like hold-overs from a vanished era; people whom the world has somehow moved out from under. whose principal ex- cuse for existence has disappeared.
 The story is concerned princi- pally with government official, who still fills his job with that slightly self-conscious rectitude which is supposed to be tradi- tional in Great Britain. but whose private life is a dull and sticky mess. How he muddles through domestic crisis, and retains his official rectitude in the face of temptation to do otherwise with it, makes mildly interesting read- ing; more interesting is the auth or's portrait of class which has been left high and dry by the shift ing tides of a changing world.
