The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-08-18

treasurer of the Connecticut Peace Conference and chairman of the political committee of the Water bury Council of Peace Action. Mir. Kimball is also an ardent advocate of the merit system. When the pe- tition for a referendum on a merit system for Waterbury was defeated in court action last fall, Mir. Kim ball became an active worker or the local Republican organization.
 While MT. Kimball had no com- mcnt to make on the stand taken by Cong. Kopplemann when the latter endorsement to the Loyalist government in Spain. portions of Mir. Kimball's radio address consti- tute an attack on Fascism, reprint ed in portion, as follows:
 Students of international rela-
 slons have realized for years that
 there is a fundamental conflict
 between Christianity and Fascism.
 Good Christians realize that our
 first duty is to God only and our
 second duty to the State, despite
 the to { contrary holding of the
 United States Supreme Court in
 the Mcintosh case. Fascism defIn-
 itely demands that an individuals
 first loyalty be to the state, that
 Christianity have only that loyal
 ty which is left over.
 By way of contrast, I wish to
 remind those business men who
 like Fascism that American cor-
 porations pay a federal income
 tax of only about 12 1-2 per cent.
 Many people complain nowadays
 of high taxes. which. unless we
 avoid the horrors of imitation, must
 go higher but if we should have
 Fascism, we could expect taxes to
 be tripled or more with the dan-
 ger of inflation just as great.
 Tn the United States questions of interest to the world as a whole are being decided each week in primary fights, though mostly for and against the New Deal.
 In Connecticut we are having the preliminary campaign for such a decision. for last week Herman P. Kopplcmann, representing Hart ford County in the House of Rep rcsentativcs. threw his hat in the ring for the Democratic nominat ton for senator.
 As you will recall, the Connecti- cut Congressional delegation con- sists of persons two senators, a representative -at-large and five district representatives.
 During the past ten years, have studied their actions pretty carefully. The only Congressman in either House or Senate who has shown a thoroughly active and courageous interest in preventing war, by the method which students of interna- tional relations believe will get re- suits. Is MT. Kopplemann. Repre- sentative Citron and former Senator Walcott have shown an interest in peace much greater than any other member of the Connecticut delega- tion. but their interest has been mo- where near as great as that of Mr. Kopplemann. While the House has a large responsibility for the foreign policy of the United States. the Sen- ate has a much greater responsibility, surpassed only by the Of the Presi- surpassed only by that of the Pres!- dent.
 So voters who have a strong and intelligent desire for peace will do everything they can to secure the nomination of MT. Kopplemann for the Senate, by trying to procure the election of delegates to the state convention who are pledged to the nomination of Kopplcmann.
