International Bridge

The League of Nations is breaking up, but the World Bridge Olympics goes ahead triumphantly. Several thousand participating players in fifty-two coun- tries are expected to start in the great international tournament of April 27. The twenty hands to be played are being prepared now Four of them were dealt in the regular way by New Yorks Grover Whalen. The other sixteen will be pre- pared by a committee of experts. The play of the sixteen hands will determine the winners. The Whalen hands will count only in case of tie. among con- testants. Players, however, will not know at any time whether they are play ing one of the dealt hands or one of those prepared by the experts.
 Non-bridge players are inclined to sheer a little at such elaborate arrange ments for a mere game. But they needn't sheer too much Those bridge enthusi- asts really seem to have something. Bud- get deficits and war threats and trade problems trouble them not at all, and for while, beginning April 27, the most important thing in the world to them will be the shreWd playing of a few hands of cards. It's wonderful to have an "escape" like that.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-02-17
More Pay, Fewer Legislators

A Greenwich legislator brought question up the other day during the dis cussion of the dual job-holding bill that should occasion considerable comment. Representative Paul L. Burke, Republi- can, suggested that a constitutional amendment be passed this year which would allow all legislators to draw sal ary of from $500 to $500 year. Mem bership in the House would be limited to one representative from each of the 169 towns And that's what we'd like to talk about
 Right now it's bad enough for a city like any of the four large ones, whose populations are over 100000, to send but two representatives to Hartford, the very same number that the smallest town in the state-Union with less than 200 pop ulation - has. How can the legislative House of Representatives be truly called that when actually it is made up of repre- sentatives of towns. The question is as old as the hills and many men have worn themselves out arguing against our sys- tenn of representation.
 Our only purpose in bringing it up now is to call attention to the proposal of the Greenwich legislator to further upset any basic order of representation. If it is fundamentally wrong for two men to represent 200 people and 100000 people, the same is certainly true when we ap- portion but one representative to each of these groups. It certainly is far from convincing to have our Legislature dom- mated by legislators who actually repre- sent so small proportion of the popula- ton. Why make the situation worse now?
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-02-17

require their own local governments and institutions to buy nothing from states which discriminate against any West Virginia products.
 If we carried this thing on indefinitely we should have cities refusing to buy goods made in other cities and perhaps pri- vate citizens refusing to buy anything not made in their own neighborhoods. By that time, of course, our industries and transportation systems would have van-- ished and taken along with them most of the things we need for daily living, not to mention all hope of prosperity.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-02-17
Much Study Needed

Once again it is apparent that the general public is not getting sufficient knowledge of legislation being introduced in the General Assembly. A good example of this is what went on in Hart ford yesterday afternoon. While 1t had been anticipated that much of the time would be spent in discussing the bill of the Citizens Good Government Assocla- ton which calls for a public referendum here on adoption or rejection Of city manager-council form of government, actually this proposal didn't come up at all.
 Most of the time allotted by the Cities and Boroughs Committee was given over to an explanation of bill of senator George T. Culhanes. The bill in ques- ton changes or amends 63 sections or our present city charter. Such drastic changes as these need to be thoroughly gone over before they are approved or reflected by legislative group. After all, most of the members of this group Will not be affected one way or another by the proposed changes in the city charter, but there are thousands of Waterburians vitally concerned.
 All or some of the changes, sought by Senator Culhane, may be for the pest interests of the city and may be just what we need right now, but certainly the people at home ought to have some. thing to say about them. We know that voters are notoriously indifferent to char ter changes Public referendums on them in the past all over the country have proved that the average man doesn't care particularly what is done with the town or city charter so long as his rights aren't seriously infringed.
 However, in Waterbury right now there is growing consciousness that we haven't taken enough interest in the laws that govern and bind us. Many are taking their responsibilities as citi- zens more seriously. We honestly believe that if the city was allowed to express itself on all of the diverse proposals that have been presented the 1889 Legislature we'd get pretty good idea of what everyone wants. There'd be honest diff ferences of opinion, but there'd also be agreement on many features.

Press Comment
STATES BIRTHPLACE
(Boston Post)

It is naturally to be regretted that the sesquicentennial of Free port, which advertises itself as "The Birthplace of Maine" went almost unnoticed. Under the microscope of historians many things which have been regarded as history are now characterized as tradition, and now 1t seems that Freeport's claim to fame rests largely upon the "tradi- ton" that in a tavern there was signed the agreement by which Maine separated from Massachu- sets. Researchers have disputed this story, pointing to the act of congress which made Maine a state and have declared that commission CTS merely negotiated the division of public property, and did not do 50 in Freeport. Whether it is history or tradition, Freeport, as the home of Maine's first governor, William King, played an important role in the birth of a new state. As the mother commonwealth, Massachu- setts is glad to salute proud Free port.

Two-Way Trade Needed

"Can it be-" asks business writer, "that many Americans still think we can always ship out more goods than we bring in?" The answer seems to be yes. We all want more trade, by which it often appears we mean more sales only, not more purchases. It doesn't seem to mat ter that such a one-sided exchange of goods slowly reduces exports and so makes the situation worse.
 Some states even apply the same policy to their trade with each other. Both governments and institutions to buy only Ohio coal. The West Virginia bill would

was not difficult for their col- leagues to realize the importance of close cooperation on this matt ter, for if the President could 20 over the heads of the senators from Georgia, he could also do 1t in Massachusetts or Pennsylvania.
 So they rebuffed the Father of His Country. President Washing ton, indignant, sent a special message to Congress. in which he said:
 Permit me to submit to your consideration whether, on occa- sions where the propriety of nominations appears question: able to you, 1t would not be ex- pedient to communicate that circumstance to me and thereby avail yourselves to the informa- ton which led me to make them and which I would with pleas ure lay before you"
 Rather than chance a second rebuff, however, Washington sent c new name to the Senate, and this time 1t was confirmed. John Adams and James Monroe also had trouble with senatorial couf. tesy, though the practice of using 1t for the purpose of building up Q Senator's own political machine did not really become the accept- ed thing until recent years.

Representative J. Joseph Smith is win ming considerable praise in the House of Representatives these days for his work as member of the Military Affairs Conl- mittee. What with national defense very much to the fore right now the local national legislator has been keeping pretty busy. It may be recalled that from the very beginning of his service in the House he has expounded and en- couraged legislation which would give so-called education war orders to Amer ican factories. Such orders were designed to enable factories which would be called upon in time of war to supply munitions, as well as aircraft and ordnance, an op- portunity to equip themselves for such orders. The plan didn't seem to jell at first, but it is certainly meeting with a fine reception now and our own Congress- man, "Joe" Smith can take all the credit.
