Saints Names

A plea for more saints names among Catholic children was made by the Rev. Thomas F. Law Tor, native of Waterbury now as- sistant pastor of St. Mary's church, New Britain, in a sermon delivered at all masses Sunday.
 Don't name your children after movie stars" urged Father Law Tor during his remarks. He point ed out that homemade names "do not mean thing" and haven't the lasting qualities of the commoner but more sensible ones that have been borne by saints and learned men and women down through the ages.
 Earlier baptisns were also urged by Father Lawlor in his sermon, which was on the sacraments. He deplored the growing tendency of fathers and mothers to wait month or longer before bringing the infant to the church for baptism.

News Behind the News
- Next Years Deficit

WASHINGTON the official estimates Of
the le3S-39 deficit are neither more nearly ac-
curate nor less nearly accurate than those Tor
1878, you can comfort yourself with the aSSur-
ance that next fiscal years deficit ought not
to be more than S2,000000000.
OF course it might be worse than that and
it may be considerably better The uncertain
ties OF the next Is months make anyoodyS
guesSes practically nonsensical. All you can
say is that budget balancing is out the window
for much further ahead than anyone can see
daylight and that a period of heavy taxation Is
somewhere off there in that fog.
A year ago January the President pulled out
his budget estimates and spoke cheertully OF a
"laymanss balance for the 1878 fiscal year
ending with next June
Now a deficit of s1O88O0oOO0 is expected be-
cause receipts have been nearly billion dollars
less than estimated and expenditures about
$3.50 900 600 more There is at least a fair chance
that this deficit will be even larger by July, when
the government will have stopped incurrng It.
Businss being what it is. the administration
estimates a l938-39 deficit of S950OO0OOO. but
Mr. Roosevelt insists on pointing out that this
is a drop OF sl38OOOOOO from the presently es-
timated 1878 deficit and that his deficits and
deficit estimates keep right on dropping, depres-
sion or not.
So you can easily see that if the guess Tor
next fiscal year is as good. which off by some
what less than Sl088 100000 the deficit for the
y months beginning July l. 1888 and ending
June 80, 1899, will be at least couple OF billions.
Mr.. Roosevelt himself IS the first TO warn
you that you mustent put too much faith in
the estimate OF a mere S95OOOOOOO deficit for
next year
He may find it necessary-and there's plenty
of indication that he will decide that its neces-
sary- to urge larger appropriations for the
navy and army than the present budget con-
templates. He is also frank to suggest that if
the economic situation does not improve he prob
ably will have to ask Congress for more than
the billion dollars tentatively budgeted for work
relief
Next fiscal years budget calls for reductions
as compared with the present fiscal year, which
permit F.DR. to point to an estimated saving
OF $3.50 100000 in federal expenditures
Congress may conceivably wipe out most or
all OF that intended saving and, judging from
past performance, may even think OF some new
ways to spend money For instance, no one now
has more than a vague guess to what the
new farm program-whatever it may be like
when finally enacted-will cost
Finally there is the fact that the Treasury,
in estimating 1889 receipts at S59l900O0 1000
as compared with 137-38's S6320000000 and as
against estimated 1889 expenditures Of Sc
869,OOOOO0, is assuming that business for the
calendar year 1888 will be practically but not
quite good as for 1887.

Other Editors Say
THIS MAY BE THE WAY
The Wall Street JournaD

The attitude of Robert r. Wood president
Of Sears, ROebuck & Co., before the Senate COM
mittee relief and Unemployment seems to us
worthy of special mention.
Most business agree that the real need
OF today is not to attempt to place blame for
the present recession but to work out some con-
structiVe measures which will place the country
not merely in upward industrial trend, but
on a firrner basis Mr. Wood goes to the Senate
hearing with that in mind He makes certain
concrete suggestions. He makes them in tone
which is friendly and cooperative. He does not
say that everything which has been done in
Washington in the past few weeks is desirable,
and in fact he takes exception to the speeches
of Messrs. Jackson and IcKes Also, he outlines
what he thinks business can do now. and says
what he would like 10 see Government do.
Now, it is not necessary that all business men
applaud and endorse all of the suggestions which
thing at this time for both business men and
responsible Government officials to comb the
suggestions which Mr. Wood and others like
him are making with view to seeing not what
they oppose, but how much they can accept?
Such procedure, it seems to us is far more
likely to lead to attainment of that common
ground, that Unconditional basis on which the
country can work out its problems than is any
other.
Surely there are many points which most
of the leaders Of industry and the modern ele-
ment in government can agree. The present
task IS to isolate these points with a view TO
genuinely constructive action. To accomplish
this much would be vital contribution to elm
mating present troubles.

Japan Whistles
In the Dark

If one Of Japan's principal aims IN
conquest of China IS TO prevent Com
munist domination Of Chinese states, as
it seems to be, it is hard to escape the
conclusion that Japan is going about
it the wrong way. There are two reasons
why military conquest of China will not
keep Communism out of that nation.
The first. of course. is that Japan is
weakening her internal structure by de
grees as the expensive warfare contin-
ues. Internal collapse in any such mill
taristic government as that of Japan
means only one thing-revolution. Such
revolution might very we'll admit Com
munism to Japan itself.
The second reason, dealing directly
with China, springs from the fact that
Communists do not go TO war to spread
their doctrines. Instead they attempt
to bring about internal strife and even
tual revolution by insidious propaganda.
China, if conquered by Japan, would be
fruitful soil for such seeds of unrest.
Japan could attain her goal of a non
Communistic China far more easily by
peaceful cooperation with Chinese au-
thoritieS it seems to the critical observ-
er. The government of China, against
which Japan is now warning, is opposed
to Communism-or was opposed to it
until the rigors of warfare made some
sort of alliance necessary.
Japan, by her war on China, not only
is making herself exceedingly unpOpu-
lar among other nations, but also is
risking revolution at home and is almost
certainly doomed to failure in the field
Japan, like other nations in the past,
will find that war does not pay.

Clipper Tragedy Shows
Need for Safety Devices

The Pan American Airways Samoan
clipper caught fire and burned with her
crew when a spark ignited fuel which
was being dumped to give the airplane
the proper landing weight, an investi-
CATION revealed The tragedy would not
have happened if passengers had been
aboard for regulations require the clos
ing of all dangerous vents when passen-
gers are carried. The Clipper, being on
a test flight without passengers, was
not governed by these regulations.
When the Hindenberg airship fell in
flames on the eastern coast, the reason
was approximately the same. The giant
dirigible was dumping fuel, and spark
ignited it. On that occasion, there was
loss of civilian life.
The two instances demonstrate the
need on such vessels for the most strin-
gent safety regulations, carried out by
specially designed safety devices. Air
travel is becoming safer all the time
because science is working to eliminate
hazards such as that responsible for
the Clippers crash. For the sake of the
average airways passenger, these regu-
lations cannot be too strict And, for
the sake of pilots and crews, they should
be observed just as steadfastly when
there are no passengers aboard.
