which to buy defensive armaments in
this country. The administration, it
has been learned is studying the pos
sibility of advancing credits through the
Reconstruction Finance Corp. or the Ex-
port Import Bank.
There is special need, according to
word here, of anti-aircraft guns. Wash
ington officials are hopeful that the
Firms can hold out for a considerable
time, particularly if they succeed in pre-
venting landing on the south coast in
tended to trap Finnish forces resisting
the invasion across the border in the
vicinity of Lake Ladoga.
No one thinks, of course, that Finlan !
could hold out indefinitely against the
overwhelming superiority of the Soviet
mechanical forces. But the pressure of
public opinion in this country might con-
ceivably, in the opinion of some officials,
cause Britain and France to extend aid
to the Firms. 1t is extremely doubtful,
however, that Britain and France will
take any action unless Sweden and Nor
way are directly menaced.
In Sweden this is time of grave in
decision. The cabinet is reported to be
split on the question of aiding Finland.
There are moderates who argue that the
most Russia is after is to regain Finland.
We existed for many years with Rus
controlled Finland and we could do
1t again, they say. Another group con-
tends that having gained Finland, the
Soviets will promptly seek to extend their
influence into Northern Norway and
Sweden.
Thus far the Swedes have maintained
neutral position and it does not appear
that they will come to the direct aid of
their neighbor unless and until the So
viets attack the Aaland Islands, belong
ing to Finland. This group of small
islands lies between the Gulf of Bothnia
and the Baltic Sea and commands the
entrance to the Gulf of Finland. The
Firms are making desperate last-min-
ute effort now to fortify the islands. The
Swedes might be expected to fight to
prevent the Soviets from converting the
Aaland Islands into air bases. They are
only 30 miles from the Swedish coast,
within such easy range of bombers as to
make Sweden completely dependent on
any major power that might control
them.
War is closer to the Scandinavian
Peninsula than at any time during the
past 125 years. The whole theater ef the
European conflict has been dramatically
shifted. The traditional and carefully
guarded neutrality of the Scandinavian
powers seems hardly sufficient armor now
that one small northern nation has been
forced to tight desperately for its exist
ence.

population Will be at a StandStill, with
the average age increasing very grad
ually, it is likely that the yellow race
will be just entering THE stage of sensa-
tional population increase which will
keep the average age in the period OF
late adolescence, or young manhood.
The Eternal Struggle.
Then indeed the world is likely to be
tough place, with resurgent youth of.
one race and one color attempting to
expand at the expense Of sedate middle
age. It is factor more fundamental
than political PHILOSOPHERS, than ma
tional and linguistic differences, even
than racial differences. The late Sig
mund Freud pictured the eternal strug-
gle between youth and age as recapit-.
ulation Of the practice among primitive
tribes OF killing the old man. It may,
or may not, have been good anthro-
pology. -
Eventually, since the whole human
race is subject to the same fundamental
trends, all the world may attain much.
higher age average. This will mean the.
end of wars. Men over IS do not fight
wars. They leave that to the boys.
Paradoxically enough, it may eventu-
ally mean the end of the human race.
For the progress Of age is toward death,
and there is no escaping the law, either
for the race or the individual. The.
species grows old and dies. Already
there are sinister prophets Of the sp-:
preaching end. ~

and Rochester with their city man
ayers. These cities are largely
free from the machine domination
of the old party set-ups and they
are generally recognized as the
best governed cities in the country.
I do not believe their people re-
greet that they got rid Of the two
party system.
"What the leaders Of the old
parties are crying about here is
not the possibility that a Socialist
administrator In Waterbury will
be harmful to the city. They know
that the opposite Is true. What
bothers them Is the fact that our
election will be harmful to their
own power within their parties
not only to city but in state and
federal politics. The Democratic
state central committee chairman
Is worried about his brothers re-
election to Congress next year, the
Republicans are worried because
they have disgraced themselves in
taht wild scramble to take advan-
tage of a golden opportunity to cash
in on the disgrace of the Democrats,
which made them so over-aflxious
that they fought among them
selves and lost the confidence Of the
public.
Stolen Policies
"As q matter Of fact, while the
Democratic party has certain for
ward looking national policies,
which 1t has appropriated from
Socialist national platforms Of the
past, these policies are being car
ried out by underlings who are not
interested in social progress but
interested in their jobs, underlings
suggested by congressman all over
the country as appointees to nom
civil service positions set up by
the New Deal.
"1n other words, when the DEM
ocrAtic party tries to build a struc-
ture Of social progress the struc-
ture Is weak because Its founda-
tons are In the mud Of such Shiny
messes as the Hague machine In
Jersey City and the Pendergast
machine in Kansas City. When the
Socialist party builds for the future
1t builds on a firm foundation,
laid on the solid ground of the
rank and file OF the population as
a whole and 1t does not mix that
foundation with the defective NOR
tar Of machine politics."

Bernier, Republican candidate fol
city clerk, who was guest Of honor
at the gathering. It was announced
that a big rally In his behalf would

active campaings of any Of the can
didates on any ticket.
State Treasurer Joseph Talbot, Of
Naugatuck, praised the contribu-
tons to the success Of the Republic
can party made by the voters OF
French descent. He said that their
efforts should not 60 unrewarded.
Charles @. Foster and other Re-
publican candidates for office also
spoke.
Alderman George L. Kingston,
candidate for reelection, claimed
that the Democratic nominee for

brought suit against city officials
found guilty Of conspiracy and also
against their bonding companies,
though Mr.. Scully was corporation

rally. Assisting him were Mrs. Will
liam Gerard, Mrs. Azure Dorval and

Roger v. Cohnor, candidate
for mayor on the Independent

JEWISH DEMOCRATS
PRAISE NOMINEES
Republican-Amer. Scores
By ROsengarten for
Unfair Tactics

Democratic candidates were given
rousing receptions at rallies last
night at the North End Y. M. @. A.
and the Waterbury Hebrew insti-
tute. Earlier a number Of the nom
inees had taken part In special
radio broadcast.
At the Hebrew institute rally,
sponsored by the Jewish Democratic
club, Charles l.. Rosengarten de-
clared: 1.-THE most searching inves-
tigation by his opponents has failed
to give the slightest bit Of evidence
that Vincent Scully Is otherwise
than fearless, diligent and able. As
far back as last June I urged him to
run for mayor, believing that he Is
the best man qualified to handle the
affairs Of our city"
1.-THE Republicans talk about the
fact that Mr.. Scully was on the city
payroll" said Mr.. Rosengarten, land
they hint that this is to his dis
credit. They might just as we'll &C.
cuse every school teacher or every
one else on the city payroll"
"The Republican and American"
said Mr.. RoSengarten, ARE hitting
below the belt when they hint that
Mr.. scully was guilty Of any wrong
doing. Vincent Scully can hold his
head high. He merits the confidence
and support Of all the voters Of Wa
terbury."
Mr.. Rosengarten praised the
various members Of the Democratic
ticket.
1.-THE Democratic party Is the
party Of the common people," de-
clared Bernard Holczer, chairman Of
the rally. 1T is a party that has
given recognition to all races and
creeds. All Its candidates should be
elected"
Arrangements for the rally were
In charge Of q committee headed by
Attorney Irving w. Pasternak. i
The North End rally was in
charge Of committee headed by
James Mcmahon.
Mr.. scully and other candidates
spoke at both rallies.

MERIT. SYSTEM
Foster, Scully, and Ring
Answer QUESTIONABLE
Sent By Local Chapter

Establishment of a merit system Is
favored by ell three candidates for
mayor. Vincent A. Scully, Democrat;
Charles G. Foster, Republican, and
John w. Ring, Socialist, replied to
a QUESTIONABLE sent by the Water
bury chapter of the Connecticut
Merit System association that they
endorsed the merit system.
All three declared themselves
against allowing city employees to
do campaign work while on city
time. The three were also agreed on
opposing compulsory campaign con-
tributions by city employees.
Speaking on the merit system, Mr..
Scully said:
II am of the firm opinion that
employment of individuals, exclusive
Of elective and judicial positions,
should be on the basis of tests which
will be uniform and standardized to
90 away with any possibility that
incompetent employees will be ac-
cepted on the basis OF favoritism. A
merit system which can be devised
so as to eliminate political consid-
erations and the possibility Of In
jecting political tests into the sys-
tenn would be IDEAL"
