Calls for Explaining

Blind adherence to principles or the advice and demands of leader some times is disastrous. For instance right now throughout the nation there IS great deal of talking about 100 per cent New Dealers Candidates for public office, particularly those who strive to go down to Washington to sit in Congress, hallowed halls, are greatly concerned about being characterized as such. we have had similar expressions right here fin our own state with Representative Her man P. Kopplemann trying his best to be proved the champion New Dealer of them all
 His desire to be thus recognized is based on the theory that he should replace the incumbent Senator Augustine Lonergan. The fight is on in earnest and will rage right up to convention time, the middle of September. Late Monday afternoon witness before the Dies congressional committee Investigating unAmerican activities, however, loosed bomb, the detonation of which may be felt right here in Connecticut. For this witness, James B. Matthews, former Commun- ist party worker, declared that 60 of our august congressman were guilty, unwit- tingly, of spreading Communist doctrines and propaganda.
 
 Connecticut's Representative Kopple- mann for he joined the list of signers of the now-famous greeting to the Spanish Loyalist government Parliament. Many of the signatures were later disclaimed, the Congressman admitting that they didn't know what they had signed. Others, however, stuck to their guns and would not go back on their signatures, althouh they too, may have been in par tial ignorance of the true meaning of the document to which they appended their names. But the fact remains that sixty Congressmen were innocent or conscious aides in spreading Communist propa- ganda.
 That's not exactly good campaign material to be used here in Connecticut. Nor does it coincide with the ideas that most of us entertain about the New Deal. True many startling remarks are made before congressional probing committees that later fail to hold up, but here's one that is apt to prove pretty much of thorn in Representative Kopplemann's side before he finishes his drive against Senator Lonergan.

WelI ReCeiUed Presidents Canadian Address Makes Good Im- pression-Disturbs Sleep of Some Euro peans, According to
 Reports
BOSTON POST

1 New Englanders, 1t must be re- membered, share the same feelings as do Canadians on this matter, for in this section there has always been the most understanding kind of friendship for the people of ! Canada.
 To begin with, very large per- centage of New Englanders are either Canadian born or are de- scendants of Canadians. The people of Canada sing the same songs and play the same games as do Americans. In Canada there Is lively interest in our base ball players and the baseball scores In the winter months the ice hockey teams of both nations enjoy the most enthusiastic kind of competi- ton.
 Canadians and Americans have the same habits. Their mode of liv- ing is very similar. Their interests are about the same, although each favor their own type of govern ment.
 Overseas, the rumble of warfare continues. To cross the border of one country to another requires red tape and much investigation. Great Qualifications are thrown up. To cross the American Canadian border is simple gesture, and no great cannon stares the visitor in the face. Nor are there hidden guns.
 It is only natural that Americans hold the greatest friendship for Canadians. They are virtually broth- CTS. And such good neighborliness over long span of years is bound to bring about spirit of helpful ness toward one another.
 The Presidents remarks may dis please some people, but for Cana dians and Americans they stir up only renewed feeling of good will. AS the President stated, his words should not mean that the Monroe Doctrine has been extended. He was talking to a friendly people as a friend.

Gasoline Stands for the Parkway

There will be gasoline stations along the Merritt Parkway. The state is going to build them. The State Highway De- partment has just been granted permis- sion to erect such structures and provide such service. Funds will be taken from the general fund or the special fund pro- vided by the Merritt Parkway bond issue. The state doesn't intend to run these gas oline stations, though. It will lease them to private operators and we presume there will be some spirited bidding for the right to operate one of these deluxe model stands.
 For they surely will have to be deluxe stations if the motoring public of Fair field County is going to have any say about it. Down there the residents have some pretty strong convictions about commercialism along this new parkway of theirs. You can rest assured that if the gasoline stations are built they will be at long intervals and will be of the type that blends and fades into the back ground rather than obtrudes and shrieks at the passing driver. And when you come right down to it, that's what we'd all like to see along our first modern parkway, the beginning of what may ulti- mately be simply link in series of such roads criss-crossing the entire state
 In view of the fact that the criticism Of the roads contours and general out lines as expressed some months ago. has vanished in complete approval of it by the tnousands who now use the finished sec tons we feel sure that anything the High way Department decides to do about fill ing stations will be pretty satisfactory.

 In the light of the CLOS past complaints against Smith there is irony in the Federation's demand for his custer on the ground that he is unduly friendly to the c. I. O.
 There Is also irony in the fact that Guffey will manage the fall gubernatoriaI campaign of Alvin Jones, the A. F. of L. en- dorsed candidate who licked Guffey's C. I. o. standard bear CT in the bitter fought Pennsyl- vania primary last spring.

The reacton here in New Eng land to President Roosevelts ad- dress at Kingston, Ont, pledging the support of the United States to Can- ada If that country should ever be threatened, was quite naturally fla vorable.
 In some parts of the world, es- pecially in Europe, the presidents remarkes caused little annoyance. One report had it that Prime Min ister Chamberlain was not too well pleased, but just why is mystifying. On the other hand, the Canadian press was jubilant.
 AS the Montreal Gazette stated editorially: "He (President Roose- velU sets forth in definite and pre- else terms something that has been taken for granted by the people of both countries. It is warning to predatory nations on other contin- ents to keep away from this hemi- sphere" :
 The editorial sums up the situa- tion exactly.

In New York
By GEORGE ROSS

New York, Aug. 24.--There are tears in our eyes for the poor glamor boys and glamor girls from Holly wood who vacations in New York. Ask a star of hlmland why he or she has fled east and the invariable reply seems to be: T wanted to get out of the studio atmosphere while and became homesick for Broad way"
 Well, when Norma Shearer or Paul Muni leave the coast, they may hope to land straight on Broadway, but they don't. They land at a big railway station where, the minute they step off the train, they face a battery of camera and newspaper men. And from then on, they spend most Of their time in the same frantic atmosphere they left behind. Prisoners to Publicity
 Once William Powell came to town and went to the Waldorf As toria. There he remained, like a prisoner, for 48 hours, talking busi- ness, doing interviews, and looking out the window from time to time, longing for walk up and down Broadway and a taste of the food at the Coloney Restaurant. But 1t was no use. There was no time to get away. So, sadder but wiser. Bill went back to Hollywood and simulated a smile when people asked him if he had good time while in New York.
 AS 8 matter of fact, there is a regular routine which every star must follow when coming to New York. First, the train arrival, where often the star must stand at the station and pose for as many as nine, ten or twenty pictures, and give out as many as three or four interviews.
 Almost everyone in town seems to know where the star is stopping, and as soon as player like Norma Shearer reaches the door of the Waldorf Astoria, she must stop, no matter how tired or hungry she may be, smile and sign for as many as thirty autograph hunters.
 AS soon as she enters the suite, the telephone begins to ring. A modiste calls up and asks if she may show her gowns. Jewellers, flor ists and milliners all beg to show their wares. And the secretary's time is given over to polite refusals and postponements.
 Then there is the home office, which is on it's toes and has ar ranged interviews for foreign cor respondents. Bette Davis, Kay Fran els, Caludette Colbert, Carole Lom- bard, Joan Crawford, all these play CTS have wide following abroad, and every one of the foreign cor espondents--there are fifty of them demands & personal interview so he may tell the people in his native land what the star is like, how she dresses, what she eats, and details about her past, present and future.
 Now, for little amusement. Yes9 Oh, no! She has to do double set Of interviews for the papers, one to meet the demands of the city desks, and the other, the feature writers.

RECOGNITION AND THE WALL
(New Haven Register)

NANN" AA&NSAA AeN6AoVSA/
 The announcement that assist ant superintendent of schools AL fred F. Mayhew has been elected to the superintendency of the pulp lie schools of Great Neck, l.. l., will likely cause among many New Haven people a mixture of pleas ure and regret. The appointment Is reported to involve an 80 per cent betterment in salary, which is material recognition indeed. It also involves the loss of one who has been some 20 years in the New Haven educational system, the capacity of assistant superinten- dent. He will be missed not alone in the public school field itself, but outside as well; this neWs- paper IS among the numerous New Haven institutions and organiza- tions which have enjoyed cordial associations with him in many civic activities.
 It is to be presumed that in making the selection, the authori- ties of the Long Island commu- nifty thoroughly canvassed the field for qualified administrator. There is confidence that they will not re- gret their selection. And it is worth noting in passing that local ordi- nance would taboo any such search on the part of New Haven authori- ties for an administrator with ex- ceptional experience qualifications for the educational system of this city. This city still tolerates stat utory wall against administrative service on a wide-open, competitive basis of merit.

He Sees Britain Building Italy
BY BRUCE CAPTION

Mussolini likes to talk about the empire he and his fellow Romans are building What he never men, tons is the fact that the empire is being built with the advice and con sent (so to speak) of Great Britain
 It Is an English publicist, Geof- frey T. Garratt, who brings this out clearly in 'Mussolinis Roman Empire" (Bobbs- Merrill. $2.50) In this book he reviews Musso- lini's drive for conquest, from the beginning of the Ethiopian adven- ture down to the present em- broglio in Spain, and shows that he has had the disguised but very effective support of England from start to finish.
 To give Mussolini this support and at the same time to give the appearance of being bitterly op- posed to him. Garratt points out has compelled the British govern ment to do some plain and fancy tightrope walking.
 It agreed in advance to the con- quest of Ethiopia, says MT. Gar ratt. and made the conquest pos sible by keeping arms, supplies and foreign volunteers out oi Ethiopia until Italy had moppec up; yet 1t pretended all the time to be deeply concerned about Halle Selassie's fate, and 1t ever toyed with the idea of sanctions.
 MT. Garratt natly says that ht Is not an unbiased writer. H, feels that the British empire 1. being sold out by the very mer who would be expected to defend 1t, and he writes with bitter feel. ing. The result is vehement ane provocative bit of reading.

housewives have probably started. Look out for divorce actions angling for lower taxes and cheaper public Transportation; wholesale courtship strikes for free mar riage licences, threats to marry, raise large families, and throw them on relief unless government jobs are forthcoming; and marriage strikes for garbage collec- tions after every meal.

Clarence c. Willard decided just about the time the Republicans in New Haven were preparing to caucus on State Gen. tral Committee members, etc., he could. say something about his connection with the Merritt Parkway investigation. His name it may be recalled, was mentioned some months back when the Grand Jury probing prices paid by the state for land needed for construction of the Merritt Parkway reported that MT. Willard had accepted money from the Greenwich Water Company for certain services in connection with land sale. MT. Willard contends that his fee was legitimate and was nothing that no other person would have refused. He also pointed out that in the previous six years he had per formed other services for the company for which he had been remunerated with out any comment or objection. MT. Will lard has served as publicity agent for public utilities of this state, as well as for two state departments-Highway and Health.

Ten Philosophers

Archbishop John T. McNichols of Cin- cinnati, in a speech to the Knights of Columbus, proposed that they give their country and their church ten trained philosophers in the next ten years "The coming intellectual battle," he saio, "in cur country is to be fought in the field of philosophy"
 "These men may wish to be physicians, lawyers or journalists. They may wish to engage in business. They must first be persuaded to give three years of their lives to philosophical studies
 "If in the next ten years you could give America ten laymen who had thorough training in philosophy, you would do a meritorious work of priceless value to our country and to the church"
 This may have strange sound to ears accustomed to hear men trained along academic lines ridiculed as "brain trust CTS" when they are called to serve their country. But it is not so astonishing to those who have grown accustomed to Dr. Alexis Carrel's idea of the hundred trained minds whom he would like to see giving their lives and energies to advanc- ing the powers of humanity.
 And, indeed, it is the philosopher, the Clover of wisdom" in the literal sense of the word, who alone is detached enough to see life as it is-Who can, in the phrase of Matthew Arnold, philosopher of the nineteenth century, "see life steadily and see 1t whole" Among the ancient Greeks, it was neither sculptor, poet, prince, po- litician nor soldier, but Plato, the philoso- pher, who so clearly interpreted life that the moderns still turn to him for counsel.
