Big Doings Ahead

1,,do;no bv news reports there are big +,;nos in store for both Waterbury ana the State of Connecticut when the fed- eral povernment's spending-lendlng pro- cram gets under way. PWA grants to fhis state are going to enable othclalS to launch a most suspicious building pro cram which may eventually account TOT all of the various institutional expansion plans which have been mentioned now TOT so many years The state does not know vet exactly how much money VIII pc available from the $25 5000, ,OOO bond issue which is first to be used to retire oe1lclt at the end of the current fiscal year, put it is safe to assume that II Uncle sam gives us $10000,O ,OO0 in PWA funds the total will approximate 25,OOo,OoO:
 Waterbury, too, should beneht py the paternalism of Uncle Sam. And with an eve towards such benefits City Engineer Charles J. Root has drawn up pretty comprehensive program of projects which will certainly be spread over period of two or three years. Highly important among them are the new pipe line from the city'S water resources up in Morris; the third reservoir in Morris; and the completion of the city's elaborate new sewage system We didn't notice mention of the sewage disposal plant, but it should follow hard upon the heels of the con- pletion of the Mad River trunk line sewer.
 We have commented at various times that the city was in duty-bound to rush Its sewage plans. Other communities in the Naugatuck Valley have been more or less marking time in the same respect until Waterbury fell in line with those cities and towns which have abandoned stream pollution for the more modern and sanitary methods of disposing of domestic sewage Torrington has made rapid progress in this line; Naugatuck would have done probably the same thing had it not been pointed out that it's ef- forts would have availed little in ending Naugatuck River pollution so long as Waterbury to the north continued pol luting the stream. Our course of action is apparent

Congress Calls It Quits

The 75th Congress has closed it's DOT tals. Unless something unforeseen occurs it's history can now be written. Only special session would summon it's mem- bers back to Washington for official duties. When Congress next convenes, ordinarily in January, 1t will be a new body, subject to organization and per- haps composed of many members who are not now ending rather historic Ses- sion. Historic is the word, for the 18th Congress must go down in the history books as creator of many records.
 There will be praise for this session and therell be criticism. Nevertheless it will be recorded that members of the 18th Congress were faced with many and diff f1cult tasks. To them was given the duty of rescuing nation that apparently was on the road to recovery after the disheart- ening days of 1932-33. Also this Congress must be recorded as the one which showed such display of independence that it was hard to conceive of it as one so prepon- derantly democratic in both houses.
 That in itself is worthy of note. Rarely have the republicans been in such small minority in our national legislative body as they were in the 75th Congress- And despite the overwhelming odds against them and the fact that their voices barely were heard above the tumult the New Deal found the going harder for it's "must" legislation than if the two major parties had been more evenly distributed
 The outstanding accomplishment of the 18th Congress may be debated, but it's safe to say that it's lavish hand in giv- ing the federal government almost free rein in spreading millions for nation re- lief towers over all other transactions.

One For All, Etc

The meaning of collective security is made clear by Pierre Cot, former French air minister, speaking at the national congress of reserve officers "They say France should defend herself only if attacked. To say that not one French soldier should expose his life for CzechoSlovakia means not one English soldier should shed his blood if France were attacked. Collective security is a condition of French security.
 Collective security was one of the basic ideas of the League of Nations. It was assumed that all the "good" nations would unite against any "bad" aggres- sor nation. Foreknowledge of this alli- ance of righteousness against wrong doing would prevent aggression. Failing that, collective action would check 1t quickly.
 The thing seemed simple and practi- cal. It has not worked out so. Even the nations that frankly condemn an aggres- sor are not willing to apply either mili- tary force or economic pressure. Although the sanctions against Italy were severe enough to create discomfort and resent ment, they were not complete enough to stop the Italian conquest of Ethiopia. In fact, they were applied only partially and halfheartedly. The world wants peace, but there are many selfish interests at work now which block operation of the collective principles stated in the League Covenant.

Eleven in a Boat

The summer picnic tragedies have be- gun. An unusually distressing one is the drowning of three children and man in the Potomac River near Washington, while parents and friends looked on. First mistake: There were eleven children and two adults in that boat - too many as the result showed. Second mistake: The children were not controlled as all children in boats should be.
 The craft was driven by an outboard motor AS it turned, according to the news report, perhaps too quickly, the children stood up and rushed forward. The grown-up running the motor shouted a warning, and the other adult, jumping to herd the children back to their seats, lost his balance and fell overheard. Then the children all rushed to one side and the craft overturned.
 The first thing to be done when any children are taken. into a small boat and it's pretty good rule for adults, too lis to pledge them to sit down and stay sitting down, for the duration of the cruise.

Also impressive words were spoken this week by Very Rev. William J. McGarry, s. J., president of Boston College, to the graduates at Fordham college in New York city. Father McGarry attacked the modern school of materialism saying in part: "As an ultimate motive of human action, the consideration of man without God has been a failure! as an ultimate quest, the ambition to make man some thing without God is palpably idiotic At a time when avarice is aroused be- cause chicanery may succeed, we know that you will stand for justice and honor in business and political life. In days when it is often more comfortable to be mute, we expect that you will be articu- late, for you have the thought that need be spoken. In an hour when the very sanctities of marital life are unveiled grossly and things are said that even de- cent organism modestly hid, we know that you will be leaders in stemming the obscene and unchaste tide which threat ems to ungulf our civilization and cul- ture"

Among the words of wisdom spoken the other day by pr. James Rowland Angel
 president emeritus of Yale University, to the graduate at the University of Penn sylvania, the following stand out as im- portant and timely: "there appears to be a strong presumption that any man who has won place of distinction has done so by disreputable means. the preachers of class hatred and distrust of success of any kind are to be met with on every hand :, This attitude reflects a spirit of moral defeatlsm which is stupid and paralyz- ing doctrine and one peculiarly uncon- genial to normal youth" In his conclud- ing remarks Dr. Angell said: "In Gods name, then, let us have an end of suspi- clon and backbiting and invective, and the fomenting of class hatred. We are all loyal Americans and the prosperity of our beloved land is of first importance to us'

JUDGE BALDWIN'S DECISION
(Hartford Times)


 Connecticut is unfamiliar with Grand Juries of the Merritt Park way and Waterbury scandal type. For that reason, news that Judge Baldwin has consented that indicted G. Leroy Kemp may inspect the Merritt Grand Jury records is diffi- cult to gauge. The proceedings of the Grand Jury are themselves Of quite new character in Connecticut. Many questions of law may arise as consequence of such novelty.
 To one accused of conspiracy, as is MT. Kemp, the minutes of the Grand Jury may be of extreme inn portance in the framing of this de- fense, both on factual and legal grounds. By the same token, the minutes are of like value to the prosecution. To the layman 1t would appear fair that if the minutes are to be inspected by the prosecution or by the defendant, they should be made inspectable by both. The tech- nicality, originally, is for the Super for Court to determine. Ultimately. this and other questions may be brought to the attention of the Su- preme Court.
 The Kemp trial was scheduled to begin Tuesday. AS result of Judge Baldwin's ruling, it seems to have been postponed for a protracted period, perhaps several months.

Considering the success of New Haven's Tercentenary Pageant staged at the Yale Bowl, the New Haven Journal-Courier suggests, editorially, that the bowl be used for pageants more commonly, and not just for few months of she year as an amphitheater for football This lat ter season is the only time the public comes to the bowl. Frequent pageants are suggested. The editorial asks, "but why can't we continue the visible and tangible cooperation between university and community as a regular feature of local life?. What we think ought to be looked into now is the question of making the bowl a symbol of town-and-gown amity oftener than once every fifty or hundred years.''

small towns offset its theoretically undemocratic elements.
 The grand jury investigation in Waterbury puts this claim under a spotlight.
 The Williamsons and the Mac Kenzies, like the Rorabacks and the Fylers before them, have exercised their power over legislation through entrenchment in these small towns. The rural vote has made these men powerful.
 i A phenomenon of Connecticut legislative processes is the loyalty and Steadfastness of little town representatives in general to the very kind of influence and leader ship which is now under indictment as result of grand jury investiga- l tions.
 That is not to say that city rep resentatives have always been hon. est or free from such influence. Upon plenty of occasions it has not. The cities have not, however, rep resented the lobbyists strength. It has been upon the small towns that they have relied.
 It can hardly be argued in the face of all these facts, and more which might be cited, that sys- tenn which so over emphasizes the power of the small towns is all that has been claimed for it.
 Not all or most small town rep resentatives are corrupt and sell their votes. That does not follow at all. There may be venial indi- viduals among them, as there are among the city representatives. What it does mean is that gen. erations of adherence to a particu- lar political belief and strong and similarly developed tendency to re- spect party leadership, creates condition of which shrewd and cor rupt men take advantage. The lobbyists sell this advantage to those desiring to obtain or defeat legislation and then utilize party and organization loyalty to deliver goods they have promised. The es- tablishment of fairly representative government might not cure this evil of itself. It would at least knock the props from under system which has been utilized by lobby ists to their own advantage and the states disadvantage.

British Policy
 Termed Suicidal
By BRUCE CATION

By trying to cooperate with Hit- Ter and helping him to get what he wants in central Europe the Cham berlain government of England is committing a supreme folly. For Germany's ultimate foe is the same as in 1914-England, and the present British cabinet is siply making cer- tain that when the final showdown comes Germany will have every pos- sible advantage.
 So says Douglas Reed, veteran European correspondent for the London Times, in Insanity Fair" (Covici-Friede: $3), a remarkably timely and stimulating book. 2. It is MT. Reeds gloomy feeling that in the last few years England has missed her greatest chance to make the empire secure, and help the world to a lasting peace. When she backed down on the. application of sanctions against Italy in con- nection with Ethiopia, she began the policy of trying to placate the dictators instead of restraining them -d POl1Cy WllACll, do 1Nk1s AeCSN oSOc 1t, cannot fail to be disastrous.
 Why is the British government acting this way? Because, says MT. Reed, her ruling class is actually in deepest sympathy with the Fas- cist leaders. England's decaying aristocracy is still very class minded. It prefers privilege to freedom; the spectre of Bolshevism under the bed reduces 1t to abject panic. It values its own position above the empires safety.
 MT. Reed, as you may gather, is rather bitter. He seems to have good reason to be; and his book is such a frank and informative dis crssion of present trends in Europe that you will find it an invaluable aid to your understanding of the current situation.

In New York
By GEORGE ROSS

New York, June 17-In their bur- lesque magic at the Waldorf-Astoria last winter, the mischievous per- formers, Paul and Grace Hartman, handcuffed and bound Postmaster General James Farley, then left him stranded that way on the floor. It was a hearty laugh for the Republicans in the audience, and the gag has stayed in the act ever since-but always with a different celebrity.
 Early this week at the Plaza, the lights were binding, so Paul Hart man reached out for the nearest customer. When he started to man. acle him, he discovered that his victim was Farley again.
 Don't stop now" Farley whisper ed to the magician as he hesitated. Later the Postmaster explained, I've been playing stooge for years and never yet gave gag away be- fore the punch-line." (Anti . New Deal papers-please copy0
