Results will not begin to show at

OF cooperation but it will be felt in
the course OF 1888 as America strives
to make democracy function through
the stern discipline OF economic
facts. These have taught us often
that an excess Of anything whether of
taxes or profits or labor costs or high
prices or cost Of Government or politi-

free flow Of goods from producers to
buyers, and the free flow of capital

Far from bringing about the de-

Idle Factories

The political problem in France is really not political at all, but economic. It is problem of production, as Camille Chau- temps has clearly seen and stated It is all right to restrict labor to 40 hours week, as France has done, but all wrong to restrict the factories themselves to 40 hours. ChautempS sees the folly of keep ing the factories idle 128 hours for every 40 hours of operation. They should be kept going, of course, with more shifts of workmen, increasing production and lowering prices and enabling everybody to have more goods
 The shaky French currency is merely a symbol. All the talk about saving the franc" is beside the point With more work and production, the franc would take care of itself. It is good example of political freedom and private capitalism stepping on their own feet. It is folly for the French people, or any peo- pie, to imagine that they can make them selves prosperous by not working.
 "In this respect" remarks the New York Times, "the problem of France is, of course, not unique. That nation is simply suffering from a more advanced attack of the same malady which has af- fected other countries, our own included: the malady of believing that a nation can prosper by any other means than by pro- ducing an abundance of useful goods at prices which consumers can afford to pay"
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-02-10

Birth control in Massachusetts has be- come constitutional right for "poor and ignorant" married women. We presume for the rich and educated women it isn't a constitutional right. At least before the full body of the Supreme Judicial Court Attorney Robert G. Dodge came out flat-footed and in no uncertain terms for birth control, the methods to be pre- scribed by competent physician. The constitutional right alluded to is the right to life liberty, and happiness. Un- fortunately there might seem to be con- flict right here between man-made law and natural law or the moral order. And when such conflict occurs, what's to be done. In this modern age it would seem as if the moral laws were not to be obeyed when they apparently impose such duties upon persons, mature persons with fully developed minds and will-power. All the legal lights in the world can't get away from the fact that man is bound by the moral order to respect himself and his wife He doesn't when he becomes the slave of the flesh

To Tax Or Not To Tax

Two different groups have recently had something to say on the tax situation here in Connecticut. Their views show just how far apart we actually are on this subject, despite the amount Of attention given to it several years ago by special commission named expressly to study up on taxes and make pertinent suggestions for remedying the situation here in Con necticut. We refer to the Connecticut Merchants Association, which has flatly voiced opposition to any new form ot tax ation in this state, and group ot school Superintendents who asked the State Legislative Council to investigate the possibility of new sources of tax income
 We'll look at this last suggestion first The school heads presented their plea by sending a delegation to the Legislative Councils office in Hartford Secretary John D. Thoms of this city received them and their petition and later presented 1t to the council The school authorities see the need of more state funds for schools in Connecticut. They claim that when cities and towns feel the pressure of hard times the school budget IS the first to be slashed to meet expenses. They feel that now is the time for the state to create a new form Of taxation or to set aside definite proceeds from an existing one so that such funds realized may be allocated to the schools. This, of course, would be in addition to the present school grants.
 The Merchants Association, on the other hand, is very definitely on the war path against any more tax levies, old or 1sew. It doesn't see any need for in- creasing present-day assessment levels. And that's quite understandable. It is hit encouraging, too, to note that it sug- gests that more economy in state and local government might prove as effec- tive as increasing taxes. That was our solution of the situation several years ago when everyone was talking tax revision. We have seen new forms of taxation Set up and they are bringing in large amounts annually, notably cigarettes and liquor. Now the time is surely st end to pick up the loose ends of govern ment, tie them up, snip off what's not needed We have started on reorganlza- ton; we can make it complete or only half do it.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-02-10

Admiral William D. Leahy, chief of naval operations, claims that the United States is vulnerable to attack by foreign powers. Our national defense is far from adequate he maintains. A combination of potential enemies could invade us. All of which is interesting, but what would happen if we were invaded. The enemy would have to maintain source of sup plies, base camp. This couldn't be ill the U. s. A.; it would have to be in Can ada, which is unthinkable; in Mexico, which is bit remote; or in Central or South America, both possible. We may be subject to attack, but the attacking nation would be from points so far dis tant that it would require tremendous reserves to prove effective.
