Step In, Boys!

We don't know whether Rep Herman P. Kopplemann was trying to warn OH seekers for his Congressional seat or not last week, but just about the time he was getting ready to announce he'd fight Senator Augustine Lonergan for the Democratic nomination for his office, there appeared newspaper item that in the event Rep. Kopplemann was un. successful in his Senatorial quest ned, of course, seek to go back to Congress as mere representative. That's a long sen- tence with which to explain very lengthy situation. Tn the first place we think that the Hartford legislator ought to be sporting enough in his fight for the Senatorship (doesn't Democratic nomi- nation now mean election?) to concen- trate on that and not expect to fall back on the other.
 Right now there are number of Democrats in the First Congressional District who are talking about seeking the nomination. While we don't recall reading of any formal declarations of candidacy certainly no one should hold back now. With the Democratic incum- bent an avowed candidate for another office, the field should be declared open for those Democrats who consider them selves eligible to seek the nomination. This business of trying to hold your grip dn one job while angling for another doesn't quite go with our idea of Demo- cratic government.
 The race for the Senatorial nomination has apparently simmered down race between Rep. Kopplemann and Senator Lonergan with Archibald McNeil perhaps figuring that drawn-out battle between the two may permit him to slip through at Eastern Point and capture the nomi- nation. On the basis of comparative chance for this to happen. If Senator Lonergan doesn't go down to Groton with sufficient delegates favoring him to be returned to Washington, then there is no gratitude or justice in the Demo- cratic party of Connecticut.

A Doctors Trust?

Announcement that the U s. Depart ment of Justice proposes grand jury investigation of opposition of the Amer ican Medical Association to cooperative health organizations is both startling and interesting. Few people have thought of the AMA as combination "in restraint of trade" Yet the charges brought against it need to be looked into. They should be refuted promptly if they are groundless, acted upon If that proves necessary
 The immediate object Of investigation is the Associations supposed attitude to- cooperative clinic of government em- ployes in Washington, D. c. It has been charged that the medical association and the local medical society have threatened expulsion from the district medical society of doctors who accepted employ ment with the cooperative group and have taken other steps making 1t impossi- ble for them to practice their profession in local hospitals.
 Similar illegal activities" are charged against the association in connection with group health experiments in other places The national health problem is 50 important and there are so many per- sons needing medical aid who do not have 1t, that fullest cooperation Is called for between members of the profession, public health authorities and any groups seeking to solve their own problem by combining funds in same sort of health insurance plan. There should be full emphasis on professional freedom and maintenance Of the highest medical standards, but there should not be jurls- dictional quarrels and stumbling blocks raised against broader service.

A Gold Watch and Work

Retirement is an insult to man who is still capable of doing his work and wants to do it. Retirement, intended as reward, often turns out to be punish ment. Enforced idlcness is seldom fun. A brokerage firm in New York deftly re- moved the sting from one retirement the other day, and many firms might do their employees and themselves considerable favor by following suit in appropriate cases.
 The time had come to retire man who had served the regulation period to make him eligible, but he had started with the firm as a boy and now he was only 62 -- scarcely ready for the wheel-chair yet He didn't want to stop working, and the firm didn't want to make him stop, but 1t did recognize it's obligation to reward 50 years service in some way
 So the man was put on a pension, and Riven gold watch and dined, and

Gentle Freezes

Out of the many winds of business comment, here is statement that seems unusually apt and reassuring. It is from a business expert of Western Reserve University, in the form of Good News Letter" There is nothing to be alarmed about in the recent big rise in stocks, he says. There have been times when such a spectacular rise was doubtful because 1t was accompanied by bad news. This time there is no such adulteration; the news is mostly good. The next six months look better than the last six, and the stock market confirms 1t.
 He speaks of the evidence of abundant cash in peoples pockets, as shown by heavy attendance at sporting events: steel production well above 1892 levels, with scrap prices rising; doubling of the life insurance purchased in June over that of last year; sales of cotton goods up sharply and ahead of production; con- sumption now surpassing production in nearly every line.
 Unlike 1930-31," he adds, i've shut down very quickly this time, thereby bringing closer the time when production must increase again. The inevitable revival will not manifest itself in all in- dustries at the same time. Contraction often sweeps the country by storm, but expansion floats on gentle breezes That IS the nature of the business cycle"

WPA Administrator Harry Hopkins is trying to find work for needy farmers in their off seasons. A permanent program will be established If the hard-working MT. Hopkins can work one out. Evidently this is aimed at some particular section of the country, certainly not New Eng land. Our sole acquaintance with New England farming Is that it's year-round job or else you go hungry, you lack fuel to heat your home, your cattle lack fodder, your property becomes rundown. Anybody who thinks that the average farmer takes 1t easy in the winter-time is sadly mistaken Cattle must be cared for the year-round; they eat in winter as well as in summer. Wood must be cut for heating purposes Fields must be pre- pared for fall and spring blowing. Fences must be rapaired; brush cleared There shouldn't be any trouble in finding off, season jobs for farmers regardless of the location of the farm.

We don't blame pupils of the State Trade School in New Britain to go on strike last week. They were compelled to attend classes throughout the entire heat wave, but on Friday about 300 of them rebelled and declared they had had enough of 1t. We don't think that 1t would hurt to show as much appreciation for peoples feelings when the weather is upsetting. And 1t surely was that last week The situation in New Britain was made worse by the fact that sessions at the Hartford Trade School were sus- pended and the New Britain students knew about 1t. That's enough for strike.

| Any ono can easily figure out eX- amples within the range of his own experience.
 From the census we can derive more exact figures of the number of jobs in different decades during the period Of what we call the "in- dustrial revolution" If increasing efficiency tended toward growing unemployment. we would have had a large part Of our population un- employed long before this depres- sion began nine years ago. On the contrary 30.3% of our popula ton were gainfully employed in lD30 as contracted with 38.3% in 1900, and only 324% in 1870. This gain in employment was achieved despite the rapid introduction of more and more labor saving machinery, with the resulting increase in the annual output per worker"
 Az we consider this progress un- der private enterprise, let us review some of it's fruits, which have ma- tured since 1900. It has increased the number of jobs and shortened the length of the working day. It has heightened our leisure hours and advanced the purchasing power Of wages. It has raised the general standard of living.
 It Is a mistake to believe that ma chinery is to be thanked for all of this. IL is not so. Its roots spring from our dependence on the Amer ican system of free. private enter prise.
 In our next letter we will consider some Of the fruits that have ma tured since government direction and control have more and more taken the place of private enter prise.

 Every labor saving device em- ployed in industry not only relieves us of hard manual labor, but 1t makes our labor 50 much more pro- ductive that more and more people are able to purchase more and more things.
 Take for example the automobile. When a i've passenger car cost $l 300 few were able to ride and fewer to purchase; but now that a better car may be obtained for $700 and good used car for $500, they are within the reach of millions of our population.
 Let us take some other examples. In 1910 a small automobile tire cost about S30 and ran about 2,500 miles, while today the average cost is $l2 and 1t B expected to run about 25, ,000 miles.
