gin an immediate investigation of circumstances surrounding the cap ture of the American freighter.
 Three Main Aspects
 Early said that the City of Flint Situation had three main aspects;
 "First the City of Fli1t was on a perfectly legal and lawful voyage under existing laws.
 "Second, under the pending neu- trality act the City of Flint could not have sailed on that voyage to a be!liegerent port.
 '"Third, the state department has sent cables to American represen- tatives abroad to develop the facts immediately and report"
 Early made clear that his state ment that the City of Flins's voyage was legal and lawful" related only to its activities under American statutes. He made no analysis of international legal complications in volved in its seizure, explaining that all international phases are being explored by the state department ana the White House has nothing to add at this time.
 Authorities on international law, said that Germany, as belligerent, having duly proclaimed a blockade around the British Isles and having published list of contraband, had the legal right tc seize the City of Flint if she was carrying contra band.
 Whether the government would accept this definition of interna- tional law was not known. The state department instructed it's represen- tatives at Oslo, Norway, and Moscow to seek information on the where abouts of the vessel and its crew of 38 men and the maritime commis- sion also sought further nforma- tion."
 Make Inquiries
 The state department later in- structed the embassy in Berlin to make informal inquiries concerning the City of Flint: U. s. representa- tives in Germany were asked to find out where the ship had been taken, whether the crew was safe, and to learn Germany's specific objections to its cargo.
 The maritime commission said that the British had taken "a num- ports since the war began. They Der" of American ships into British were searched for contraband, and released after the British approved the carog or seized it for sale. A commission spokesman said that "three of four" U. s. ships, including two Black Diamond Steamship Co.,, vessels, now are being held by the British.
 It was said that the German capture of the City of Flint had been announced, while the others had not. Because it represented the first time that a prize crew ha6 ben put aboard an American ship, and the first time that bel ligerent's flag had been flown above Q U. S.-owned vessel.
 No Information
 The commission knew only that the ship, which belongs to it but is chartered to the United States Lines, had been seized. It had no Information as to when or where she had been seized. tIs last word of it was report that she had entered and left the port oi From soc, n Norway, on Saturday in charge of German prize crew of 1s men and flying the German flag

A Thought for Today
Are We Forewarned?

Of the merit of the proposal of Senator George T. Culhane to aid property owners who find that the 120 days time limit for paying sewer assessments is oftentimes embarrassing no one can complain. It is quite in line with the many efforts that are being made today in every community to enable taxpayers to continue to own their own homes and not be forced to give them up in lieu of failure to pay assessments. Waterbury should make it as easy as possible for its taxpayers in view of the high rate of tax ation and present economic conditions.
 However, we want to be right in this matter. It's all right to defer sewer assessments for year, but supposing this throws the budget out of joint, what good will have been accomplished? SuppoSing it proves to be illegal or unconstitutional, as Finance Commissioner John H. GoSs recently said it might if the Legislature stepped into local affairs and decided when a proper tax or levy should and should not be paid. Such action is at variance with the city charter and also at variance with the present procedure of planning budget year ahead of time and endeavoring to keep within it in the ensuing twelve-month period.
 III the QeSlTe on the part OI dlCTulSClc citizens to do lot for their fellowmen who may face serious economic problems, we can often bend so far the other way that we completely disjoint our economic structure. What the city needs to do is to be reasonable with property owners on sewer assessments having due regard for any part the federal government may play in their construction, but not up setting the city's financial equilibrium any more than possible.

Thorough Study

Methods of procuring legislation ben- eficial to some particular group of lndl- vidualS, to trade or profession or simply desired for personal reasons have grad ually been coming to light in the last few years. With the death of the late J. Henry Roraback, admitted czar of COP politics throughout the state for the past quarter of century, things be- gan to happen fast They are still hap pening. Much of what transpired be- came general knowledge; good deal of it didn't. But one fact is uppermost in peoples minds today. How much legls- lation of that passed in the last 25 years is worthless?
 Probably only an insignificant part Of the tremendous number of acts and reso- lutions and laws affected over 25-year period were procured for "price". But not knowing this number it becomes ap- parent to a good many of us that our statute books require thorough editing. We have in our state government at pres ent department, know as the Statute Revision Commission, whose duties, as we understand it, include those of com piling the business of legislative session and including it in the permanent records of the state.
 We also have department whose duty is to prepare for forthcoming legisla- tive session a program of needed recom- mended provision, including changes in existing satutes or methods of govern ment, as we'll as new ideas on old sub- jects. It might well be added to these tasks the more tedious one of sorting out over period of years legislation which bears the imprint of the lobbyist The rather unsavory reputation that attaches to this calling today, as the result of recent disclosures, demands that any legislation, known to have been subjected to pressure-methods, be placed under close scrutiny. This for the general good of the state, of course.
