Why Blame the Press!

Congressman Herman P. Kopplemann of Hartford is convinced that the press O. the United States is solidiy against the New Deal On several occasions he haS unb,rdened himself of scathing attacks on the newspapers for their hostility to the Roosevelt administration ana US accomplishments. His latest sound-otf came this past weekend when he ao- dressed the Young Democrats of Hart ford County We wonder if he realizes that the press of the United States mas always been heavily antl-Democratlc. II this can be regarded as anti-NeW Deal also, then Representative Kopplemann should weigh his facts.
 Even when Franklin D. Roosevelt was elected to office away back in 1852 the newspapers of the nation which SUD- scribed to the Republican theory or gov ernment far outnumbered those that were Democratic or even lndependenI. If MT. Kopplemann was aware or the political tendencies of the press or this State. he would know that 1t has always been more favorably disposed towards the Republican side of the question than the DemOcrdClC we Cdil dulCo ooN' therefore, why there should be sudden discovery on the part of New Dealers that Che press of the nation remains opposed to anything that savers of the Demo- cratic party.
 The wonder of it is, to our way of thinking, that so many Democratic and Independent newspapers have remained so loyal to the party. Certainly there have been many good reasons, partlcu- larly in the last two years, why party desertion should have been the order of things and not out of the ordinary. Nevertheless we challenge the statement of anybody who claims that the New Deal hasn't received a square deal from the newspapers of the United States. It has been given far more than that. In MT. RooseVelt's first term even the most re- actionary of g o. p. journals carried columns of news that were certainly pro- New Deal.
 Unfortunately the gloss has worn off now and we're down to hard, cold facts. If they don't set the New Deal up on a pedestal, certainly the newspapers can't be blamed for printing what are facts. It's up to the New Dealers to make the color of these facts become more agree able to the eyes.

FOR OUR JOY IN JUNE (HartfOrd Times)

Connecticut's lovely State Flower the mountain laurel, has begun to bloom. State Forester Austin F. Hawes advises that the best locali- ties in which to see it include Peoples Forest, Barkhamsted; Tun- xis Forest, Hartland, and Paugnut Forest, Torrington.
 Also particular mention should be made of the hills immediately west of Waterbury, of East Rock Park, New Haven; the town of Winchest- CT, the hills about Winsted and Colebrook, the crests of Torringford, Burlington and Bolton, the woods of Natchaug and Bigelow Stream; Killingly, Sterling, Voluntown and Ledyard, Chester, Hebron, North Stonoington, even Lyme, and Madi- son, Laurel Glen, Greenfalls Valley, and indeed almost all the still rural territory of the State.
 It seems more luxuriant in the northern parts than in the southern, but naturally 1t is quite ubiquitous in habitat, may be found still in masses along the banks of salt water coves as on the steeps of the uplands, whether on Unions Bald Mountain, or Chester's Turkey Hill. It doubtless is most showy in Win chester but almost everywhere 1t re- wards the country drive, reveals its pink and white glow, Its glistening evergreen to the gratitude of Conn., ecticut folk, . cherished symbol and pride.

Maps Are Momentary

Boundaries are funny things. A child's conception of boundary is line across the landscape separating the yellow ter ritory from the pink. A farmers concep- tion of boundary-a Maine farmer who lives across the line from the village of Escourt in Quebec-is a horsefly inside his shirt.
 The Canadian Parliament has been asked to negotiate for the annexation of five square miles of American territory on the edge of that line One hundred per sons of French Canadian descent are the Inhabitants of the area. The farmers, cut off from the rest of Maine by some 50 to 75 miles of dense forest, have to sell their products in Canada and purchase all their supplies there. Duties hit them in
