A Sorrowful Fact

A great many of the laws that are made by our Legislature are immediately sub jected to court tests to prove their validity or constiutionality. Right now the bingo law passed at the recent session is under heavy fire, because it is believed that in many towns of the state where bingo- playing has already been approved, efforts are being made to get around the strict interpretation of the act as it stands on the statute books. All of which doesn't speak well for the Legislature.
 If our law-making body, composed as 1t is of men drawn from every walk in life, but to some extent predominated by lawyers, can't make laws that will stand up before the courts of the land, then their work is in vain. After all when bill has been pretty thoroughly inspected by a. fair share of the legislators; been tossed around the laps of the several committeeman to whom it may be assigned; been debated in two houses, it surely ought to be proof against court upsets. Yet time and again we find locpholes exposed.
 It does seem as if some particular group in the Legislature ought to take the trouble every two years to guarantee the laws it turns out to be proof against legal invasion. If they are worth being made into laws to govern the conduct of the state, its political subdivisions, and their peoples, then they are worth while being made valid and constitutional.

May Be Solution

It is not surprising that the funds of the city's Welfare Department are ex- hausted and that 1t is now seeking addi- tional ones to carry on to the end of the present fiscal year. This has been try ing year for such departments. Water bury is not the only city to suffer and to puzzle over the problems that have been presented by an increase rather than de- crease in relief cases. Of course the laying off of so many WPA employees in mid summer aggravated the situation.
 But there is one ray of hope. Indus trially conditions are far better at the present moment than they were in the middle of the summer. The prospects for continued steady upturn are good We hate to lay the credit for such 8 change in our domestic affairs at the feet of the war-god Mars, but that's the an- swer to the situation. And in the hands of such gods as Mars now lie the fate of thousands of workers. They may or may not find steady employment in the com ing three or four months.
 Waterbury Is bound to respond to any national pickup resulting from business produced by war in major European countries. No one wants to precipitate war for just that reason, but at the same time we can't refuse to accept what is brought to us. It may be that our welfare department will still se hard pressed to make both ends meet before new budget Is put into effect, but there are indica- tions that the tide of unemployment is ebbing

"National Unity"

There has been a lot of talk about establishing some sort of a coalition government" In Washington by means of which the President could have the bene- fit of the advice of the "best minds" of the country regardless of party. There has been a great deal of talk about national unity" in the face of chaotic world beyond our borders. All this sort of thing wants to be thought through pretty carefully.
 Certainly 1t Is true that any pressure exerted on national policies at so critical a time from the point of view of mere party advantage is unthinkable. Certain ly 1t is true that once policy has been legally decided upon by Congress as rep resentatives of the people, a united front" will be presented to the world in support of 1t.
 But what Is just as certainly not true is that there is any obligation on the people to render minimizing support to any policies which they have not had as direct hand as possible in making. Some argue that any appearance of "disunity" might encourage or discourage certain rulers abroad in certain policies and that therefore the American people ought to suspend all debate on what they want to do, and simply do as they are told
 This is not very cogent argument. In the first place, we are apt to eXaggerate our influence abroad It Is extremely doubtful whether the prospect of Ameri- can participation or non-participation in Europe's tangled affairs has any real deterrent effect on anybody It has not had such an effect in the past; certainly 1t did not in 1917 There Is little evidence that 1t has done so since.
 This country, with its institutions, be- longs to the people who inhabit 1t. The chief magistrate derives all his authority from the people. |. i. By the frame of the government under which we live, this same people have wisely given their pub lie servants but little power for mischief. .... Why should there not be patient confidence in the ultimate justice of the people? So spoke Abraham Lincoln, at a time more critical for the country of his day than this day for ours. He had faith that the people would decide rightly. He urged calm thought and careful consid- eration, not minimizing unity"
 The time for unity is after the people have decided on their course decided in legal and deliberate manner, after full opportunity to consider. But before that deliberate decision, any unity" that is simulated by coalitions" and councils" is delusion, perhaps a danger. If 1t be true that the sympathy of most of the American people Is already fixed regard ing the European war, 1t is certainly not true that there is any unity on what ought to be done about It. And until such decision is reached. at least on broad

Special Session

A special session of Congress at this time may we'll be regarded as an emer- gency meeting by all members of Senate and House. It is not an opportunity to express opinions on dozen other irrele- want matters, such as often occuhs when law-making bodies are called to such sessions. There is only one purpose actuating President Franklin D. Roose- welt in calling the special session for the 21st of this month. That is to deal with the problems placed on the United States by the current European war.
 Just as the conflict between Japan and China necessitated this nation resolving itself to do certain things, so does the war on the continent demand from us as a nation certain promises. These must be made not amid the chatter of partisan feeling but patriotic fervor. When our national legislators off to Washington next week they should forget that they are Democrats Republicans, Farmer Labor Party members and concentrate on being Americans.
 The primary thought should be to keep the nation out of the present war. This demands great equilibrium, not hot headed counsel, and certainly consider able restraint in public opinion Another thought should be given to finances. Are we going to act as the big-hearted banker for Europe once more and then for the next twenty-five years keep bill-collectors running from door to door and being booted out of each one in turn? We cer- tainly hope not
 Discussion of neutrality positions and severity of any arms embargo needs must be colored by what past experience has proved to us to be our best course of action.

FULFILLMENT OF SCRIPTURES
 IN WORLD OCCURRENCES
Editor, waterbury Democrat:

It is interesting to note the views of different commentators who have expressed themselves concerning the present world crisis. Some of us at least are wondering If the people are really waking up to what is ac. tuaily taking place. To illustrate, let us recall the words of c Coluni. bia College professor who spoke over the air recently. He stated that wars had been carried on for cerl- turies and now what we need is something to take place of war;" 1 wonder if he had ever studied the Bible and said the Lords prayer. Wars must come until the establish. ment of Gods Kingdom here on earth.
 Millions of people profess to be Christian and yet they cannot seem to get the drift of Jesus words in Matthew 10, Think not that l came to send peace on the earth: I came not to send peace, but c sword" Tn Revelation 6 1t is stated that John had c vision of c red horse (a sym- bol of blood and battle) and to Him (Jesus) that sat upon the horse, t was given to Him to take peace from the earth and that they should sjay one another"
 As we are now fast approaching "Armageddon," recorded in Revei. ation 16, we can understand that this is not mans battle, but the "war of the great day of 0od, the AL mighty" The plagues that are re. corded in that same chapter, sym- bolized as seven bowls of the wrath

Connecticut's state building at the Eastern States Exposition will be appro- priately dedicated next Tuesday with our public officials and fair heads present for the grand and glorious occasion. There'll be thousands of onlookers, too, for the exposition will be on at that time. It's ten or more years now since the idea of having a Connecticut building at the fair was first seriously considered. At first 1t was shunted aside, because here in Connecticut too many public officials weren't convinced that the Eastern States Exposition was going to grow into the really great fall show that It has become, one of the finest of It's kind not merely in New England but in all the East. It was mainly due, we think, to the kindly interest of Ex-Governor Wilbur L. Cross and his persistence that the Legislature was finally won over to the idea of spon- soring building Let 1t ever remain a tribute to our fair statel
