government may care to give him. A citi- zen so conscripted is guaranteed against any loss of wages, and his old job must be held open for him; nevertheless, the fact of conscription remains, and the upshot is that any citizen may at any time be moved about as the government sees fit.
 Now the one big issue which such law raises is simply this: does the state exist for the individual, or the individual for the state? The way in which any so- ciety tries to answer that question lays bare that society's whole philosophy of life. Any dictatorship which is based on anything higher than a Latin-American generalissimo's quest for personal power has to justify it's existence on the argu- ment that it serves the mass of the people better than the mass could serve itself.
 Yet this argument immediately leads one into deep water. For dictatorship not only assumes to act for the masses; it also assumes the right to say what actions are to be taken and what goal is to be sought. It is bound to elevate that abstraction, the state-in other words, itself-into no end in itself, whole that is greater than the sum of it's parts.
 Now it ought to be obvious that this is direct reversal of everything that we in America have always thought about government. So when we run into some thing like this new German labor law we get the clearest possible picture of the difference between free society and dictatorship.
 In free society, the state exists for the individual; in dictatorship, the individ- ual exists for the state. In the one, the ordinary human beings chance for happi- ness is the dominant consideration; in the other, it is not consideration at all We can do our democracy no greater service than by getting the distinction between these two kinds of society clear in our minds.

Whats In This Woodpile?

Obviously the Roosevelt administration is going to make move to unSeat Sena- tor Augustine Lonergan this fall. AL though he has not been placed on the official list of anti-NeW Deal Senators who are to be dealt with harshly, it looks as if certain aides of the New Deal will proceed to work against his renomination, either with full approval of Washington or on their own say-so. If in the latter event they no doubt will expect to have all their actions blessed by higher-ups when it becomes known what they are doing.
 The unfortunate part of such pro- gram, though, is the effect on the entire party. If there is such holy desire on the part of righteousness New Dealers to show Senator Lonergan that he can't afford to take an independent stand in Congress, but must echo the high con- mands at all times it should be confined to themselves where it ultimately would peter out into nothing more than a flare-up. But right now there are evil dences of general party insurrection, sure play into the hands of the up-and- coming New Guard Republicans.
 The latest rumored attack on Senator Lonergan's strong front is that U. $. Attorney General Homer s. Cummings will give an official opinion on the Demo-
  Some observers regard this as prelude to the Attorney Generals retirement from his Cabinet job and a bid for the Senatorial nomination. We'll wager this is wide of the target It might be, though, a move to inject Brien McMahon, ASsiS- tant Attorney General, into the picture. Through his own energetic efforts he has made quite name for himself as a government prosecutor.
 Those two Washington observers Drew Pearson and Robert s. Allen-this week hinted that Attorney McMahon was about ready to return to Connecticut and enter the political picture. What would be nicer than to do so as the New Deals chosen candidate for the Sena- torial nomination this fall. It would stack the cards nicely against Senator Loner- gan, but would not eliminate the fact that he is still the general choice of most Democrats to succeed himself on the basis of his fine legislative record over many years

City Manager Proposal

The Citizens Good Government Asso- citation surely will bring more arguments to bear on the voting public than those compiled yesterday in preliminary re- port in which scrapping of Waterbury's city charter is urged. In it's place would be substituted the charter as proposed by the special commission back in 1880. plus, of course, necessary revlSionS to bring 1t up to date. This would naturally put Waterbury under the City Manager form of civic government. On this point referendum seems to be the only fair way, once and for all, to decide the question.
 It remains then to be seen whether or not this type of municipal government has any more local supporters today than it had ten years ago and eight years ago when advocates were making strenuous effort to put Waterbury into the city man. ager class. We well recall the arguments that were advanced pro and con. The main advantage that might accrue to the city-manager advocates today is the de- fensive positions of the present adminis- tration by reason of grand jury allegations.
 Other than that, it will be necessary for the Good Government Association to begin at the beginning and show that un- der the proposed City Manager form of government Waterbury would benefit. We're wondering, for example, if the public is more kindly disposed to the City Manager plan today than it was in 1880. We're wondering if Waterbury can be shown that records of the National Municipal League prove that the City Manager form of government is gradually superseding our present representative form.
 All these questions and more must be answered before the rank and file of Waterburys voters are going to consider new charters and new forms of government. We thought those argu- Time will show if fresh ones or old ones revived can regain public interest.

ernor steps over the state line, who becomes Acting Governor? Honor able T. Frank Hayes, who is not merely Lieutenant-Gover but a defendant before the Superior Court in Scandalous criminal action. And if MT. Hayes should oblige him by resigning, who then would be Gov- ernor in his absence? Why, Hon. orable Joseph H. Lawlor, president pro tenn of the Senate, who is also embarrassed by criminal indict- ment.
 What these gentlemen might do should they be invested with guber- material power is not entirely clear, but the situation is one in which, obviously, no chances should be taken. Presumably the Governor can reconcile himself to being ab- sent from the high -jinks arranged by the Swedes, and the American Academy of Arts and Letters, of which he is chancellor, probably will meet again in the autumn, when he may be free to go once again to New York. Yet what about July and August, when the Cover nor has been accustomed as Dean and Governor, year on year, to go to Lake Sunapee, spot that he loves hardly less than the campus of Yale, but unfortunately situated clear across Massachusetts in New Hampshire Can the Governor bring himself to forego the pleasures of that enchanted spot? Can he relax so utterly and so contentedly else where?
 Why, of course he can! During his regime, the State has establish ed a Publicity Commission whose chief function is to assure all who will listen that for a summer vaca- ton no place surpasses Connecticut, it's wooded hills, it's bosky values, its bright lakes, it's salty sound, its en- erald links, its - but why attempt to improve upon the singing prose of MT. Willard B. Rogers and MT. Thomas c. Perkins? The Governor, lover of bellies lettres, doubtless knows it all by heart, and now, since duty seems to compel, he will surely act on the advice that they so free ly give. The cloud of duty has a superb silver lining. Governor. Be not doWncast at the prospect of a summer in Connecticut. Just write the State Publicity Commission for pamphlet.

The State: Master or Servant?

The new "labor decree" promulgated by the German government is something every American ought to have look at. It illustrates perfectly the difference between free society, as we in America visualize it, and a society in which free dom is subofdinated to some other end. This decree, briefly, states that it's aim is "to insure a supply of workers for any tasks politically important to the state"
 It renders every German citizen liable to conscription for any job which the

Boulenger Writes of Animals Again

If you would sit down to an al- together different reading treat, you will very likely do not better than to browse for a few hours in E. G. Boulenger's teeming book, World Natural History" (Scribner's Sons: $0. MT. Boulenger carries you back to the days of your biology class room, and how woefully inadequate he makes them seem!
 For you find that you've scarcely touched the realms of natural his tory, with its attendant evolution ary problems. Well over half a million species of living animals are now recognized, says MT. Bou- lenger, with many hundreds added annually. He seems, incidentally, to have covered them all.
 But here is no stereotyped ref erence work, although the book should prove eminently worthy as a research document. MT. Boulenger has been writing about animals for long time. Several months ago he brought out "The London zoo," fas- cinating account of the huge job of animal care in that place. In this same feature" style, If you will, he has written his natural history.
 You retrace thus the evolutionary pattern from the primates back to the simplest forms of life. MT. Bou- lenger treats each against the background of his habitat, tossing in for good measure the little known sidelights of these animal lives, such as the place of the elephant ill the religion and labor of the Orient.
 The whole is augmented by 256 illustrations, photographic and sketched. Truly an important book.-P. c. F.

Finally Morgenthau proposed that beginning July l Hanes work at the SEC in the morning and at the Treasury in the afternoon.
 But what will I do with all my spare time?" suggested Hanes, who never leaves his desk until 8 p. m even now.
 Probably, however, this will be the final compromise.
 Wheat Loan
 You can bet your hat that the wheat loan. to be announced in the next few days, will be at the minimum figure of 60 cents a bushel. In fact, if AAA officials could make it less than that, they would do so.
 All its life the New Deal has been heaping ridicule on the Old Deal Farm Board, and now it stands on the brink of commit ting a Farm Board" itself. If the loan is any higher than 60 cents, it would peg the domestic price above the world price, and the export flow would back up into stagnant market.
 That is precisely what hap pened with the Farm Board in 1929. They made loans on wheat at levels above world prices. Farmers continued to plant heavily, surpluses piled up, and by 1881 the government had 250,000,0O0 bushels of actual wheat on hand and a lot of wheat futures.
 The President called in Wallace the other day and asked him to scratch around for additional ex- port outlets for wheat. Outlets are scarce in the face of an in dicated four billion -bushed world crop, but any other Wallace may find would be crippled if U. S.. wheat sells too high for the world market.
 This condition would make sub- sidies necessary. If Uncle Sam pays subsidies to force wheat out into world trade, he is both rob- ping Peter to pay Paul and rob- ping Paul to pay Peter.
 It is tight situation at the moment, but it will be lot easier year from now. The AAA now has the weapons to force wheat acreage down from 80 to 55 million, and any grower who does not comply with acreage aIlotments will be hcav- lily out of pocket.
 The AAA will purchase farm CTS compliance, to avoid in 1889 the hot water of 1888.

Selected Poem
THE CLOCK ON THE OLD VILLAGE CHURCH

lBy Herbert Durrell Smart In the Boston Post) Weathered and grey is the old village church, Its clock no more marks the time; Year after year the old clock ran
 Smoothly, when in it's prime Many years have passed since first twas wound Generations have and gone Still its hands went round and told the time
 And never got weary or wan. Sextons have come and sextons have gone
 While the time the old clock tod The hands kept going and never tired
 AS the old village church grew old The hours went by from morn till night
 While the villagers stopped to talk; And the sexton knew when to ring the bell
 By consulting the old church clock Now the hands round the dial move The old church clock has stopped; Time-Worn and rusty, it runs no more,
 Its works" old and warped. But to the last it's hands moved round
 As though of the hours in search; And in fancy still hear, striking near, The clock on the old village church.
