This is the hunting season on upland
BIRDS But it isn't the season for Slaugh-
tering song-birds. Yet we've seen young
fellows out these October days shooting
at plue-jays and other feathered creatures
that are such colorful part of our nat
ural wild life. This type of hunting works
against legitimate forms of hunting. It's
what turns so many people against the
sport of shooting birds and animals
Song-birds are not and never should be
legal prey for huntsmen, old or young.
The Waterbury Democrat. [volume] (Waterbury, Conn.) 1917-1946, 1939-10-26

One more act of vandalism has just
been recorded in southeastern Connecti-
cut. Another cemetery has been visited
by those ghouls who work at night at
their unholy and vindictive business of
overturning and breaking tombstones.
This time the wrecking occurred in Old
Lyme where eight large stones were badly
damaged one night this week when
knocked off their bases. Just what sat-
isfaction is obtained from such antics
as this, we don't know. No sensible per-
son can understand such actions. They
certainly reveal both a morbid and
twisted mind. The perpetrators deserve
only one fate = imprisonment in an
insane asylum.

IDEALS OF YOUTH BEING
OVERLOOKED DECLARES
IRON QUILL
Editor The Democrat:

Editor The Democrat:
Youth again gone wrong. The
tragedy Of boy and girl! Murder
and suicide! Not the first time or
probably the last. Such tragedies are
an indictment of our so-called civil.
ization, or Is 1t q fact that civiliza-
ton has not arrived and that the
system we cali civilization Is relic
of paganism! Tolstoy called 1t with
tragic irony. self qualification of our
social system" What factors are re-
sponsible for such tragedies? What
system of ethics, what code of NOR
atty had been taught-is being
taught our youth that breeds such
tragedies? Youth Is receptive. It
bases its emotions on idealisrl. II
patterns Its conduct on factors that
appeal to its imagination, passions
and emotions. Said the last Emperor
Of Germany In addressing the youth
of the nation in 1891: 1.-THE fostering
Of the ideal is the greatest work Of
cultured" The greatest part Of the
time Of the youth OF today that Is not
spent at home, at play, or the church
is spent in movie theaters. What
kind Of emotions, what kind OF
ideals. what patterns Of conduct, OF
ethics, Of morals are taught on the
so-called "Silver Screen?Y
Let the fathers and mothers, edu-
Gators and religious teachers who
seek to mould the mind of our youth
to the highest ideals that make for
social progress and integrity. ask
themselves those questionsI Or Is the
greed for profits so great that youth
and its future are secondary consid-
srations? Is the mind Of youth, are
. the ideals Of youth to be forever shat
tered before they have blossomed
into the full beauty and power Of
noble manhood and womanhood?

POLITICS AND ARGENTINA


In 1894 the Argentine negotia-
lions were preached again, but
again Roosevelt called them off
because of the impending Con-
gressional elections. In 1886 they
were called off because of the i'm
pending presidential elections, but
the Argentine Ambassador was
given a firm promise that the
treaty would be negotiated after
Roosevelt was reelected.
After the election, however, the
president became embroiled In the
Supreme Court fight, and again
the treaty was postponed, while
another postponement came in
1888 because Of the congressional
elections. BY that time Argentina
had almost given up hope.
BY this time also the Argentine
importation of American automo-
biles and radios had dropped
about SO per cent. Quotas were
placed upon all American impor-
tations and the slogan BUY from
those who buy from u.s. was ram
pant. Great Britain, which favors
Argentine beef, Is her best Gus
toner.
WAR POLICY
Roosevelt advisers say that 1t
was the war which determined
him to proceed with the present
treaty negotiation. Argentina
ranks with Brazil as the most
powerful nation in South America,
and the present Roosevelt policy
Is to build q firm union Of Pam
American nations In the Western
Hemisphere.
But there is q big joker In the
whole thing. After all the trouble
to which Roosevelt has gone to
negotiate this treaty, and the po-
litical opposition 1t will cost him,
there Is grave doubt that Argen-
tina will accept it.
Reason Is that Cordell Hull In
sists upon the old-fashioned most
favored-nation provision. In other
words, Argentina would be forced
to give to all other countries the
same concessions she gives us.
Hull has believed in this theory
ever since he was the sole low
tariff advocate in the House of
Representatives, as the best means
of breaking down the worlds
present high tariff walls.
Argentina. although willing to
give the United States certain con-
cessions, Is not willing to, extend
these same concessions to all other
nations. She wants to drive a bar.
gain with each nation and get
something in return.
Already the Argentine press Is
voicing opposition. And 1t may be
that all the stew over the Argen-
tine pact will be nothing but a
treaty tempest in the teapot after
all.

maintain q close check on the in
ventories, financial status and
equipment of each firm.
TEN BILLION DOLLARS
An idea of the scope of military
production Is given by the fact
that some 10000 separate items
are required to put a wartime
army in the field. OF these 10000
about $500 items are not nor
mally made by private concerns,
while IS Items are totally I'M
available. That is, they cannot
be profitably produced.
To overcome this obstacle, Con-
gress voted the Army $l6,500, 900
to substitute plants with 'educa-
tional ORDERS" and last year ST.
100000 was spent for this pur-
pose.
The total Of war orders in the
safes of the 10000 plants con-
shutting the Army's "first line" Of
industrial mobilization is mil
tary secret. But it can be stated
definitely that the orders total
not less than $4,000, 000, 900.
In other words, ten billion dol
lars would be the minimum in
dustrial cost of a major war in
the first year.
PLOUGHS INTO SWORDS
Toughest problem facing the
Army was how to convert ordin-
airy plant equipment into mach
inery for military production.
Here Is how it was worked out:
Factories making farm imple-
ments will produce shells, COM
bat wagons and gun carriages.
Factories making boats will
make pontoon bridges; adding
machine factories will make
automatic pistols; vacuum clean
or factories will turn to gas
masks; printing pressing to
howitzer parts; and automobile
plants will, make machine guns,
tanks. airplanes, and motors of
all kinds.
Finally, factories making rails,
wire products. pipe fittings and
pipe will produce shells, hand
grenades, bombs and torpedoes.
However, those close to the
President say there can be no
doubt whatsoever Of his determi-
nation to negotiate a treaty not
only with Argentina but with Or
uguay, which also raises meat,
corn and flaxseed. He has post
poned these treaties for six years
largely for political reasons.
His first promise of an Argen-
tine treaty was made to Ambassa-
dor Espil in May, 1888, just before
the Inflated London Economic
Conference. Argentina actually
sent an expert to Washington and
started to do some behind-the-
scenes negotiating, but the deal
was called off until Secretary Hull
could get a blanket permit from
Congress to negotiate trade treat
les without Senate ratification.

Selected Poem.
AUTUMN SLEEP SONG
david Morton in the New York SUM

(DaVId MOrC0n III Che new YOTk SUM
This music that we hear, or nearly hear,
When days all thinning of the Dough,
Was never meant for any human ear,
But other listeners (. they are listening now
See how the rose leans nearer to the ground
And even the tall goldenrod is won
To sleepy listening for half-heard sound
On airs still drowsy with the autumn sun.
Let us not stay to make too much of this:
1t Is the season, 1t Is time for sleep,
And these viii know it for the thing 1t Is
And we who have later tryst to keep,
May learn how sweet music played, this day,
And fall asleep as willingly as they.
