At Last Decided

To the voters of the City of Waterbury now belongs the right to decide for them selves whether or not they want a city manager form of government. When the State Senate late yesterday passed the bill calling for such vote in October, it did the city a good turn. Nothing was being gained by the almost endless delay in getting to the point at issue Senator George T. Culhane had good reasons, we presume, for seeking to defeat the meas ure and at least he was honest enough to come right out before the Senate and state them
 A majority of Waterbury voters feel, we believe, that it was best to let this issue come to head. Now we are bound to know if the voters want to change to the city manager form or retain the pres ent charter. And that's the only way the question can really be settled to the satls- faction of all concerned. Until next October there will be as much political activity as if national election were to be settled right here in Waterbury. There will be further campaigns of education for the voter, as well as drives to press groups into active workers for the old or new
 We have only one word of caution for Waterbury, No system of government, no matter how efficient or good it may seem or may have been proved to be in other sections of the nation, can produce good government without the inclination and will of the individual who mans the government. In short the ultimate test of government is the offical. The very self-same charges that have been pre- ferred in Waterbury under its strong mayor charter could be duplicated under the city-manager form. But let's vote on it and see just what the average voter thinks himself.

Another Solomon Needed

No problem facing the world is so diff cult as Palestine. In no other case is it so difficult to define, let alone to achieve, complete justice to all At least three principal interests tangle in this historic land; l: that of the great majority of inhabitants, the Arabs; 2: that of the Zionist immigrants, eyes shining with the hope of Jewish homeland and Jewish state; and 3: that of the British imperial system, which pledged loyalty to both Jew and Arab, and which conceives it neceS- sary to empire defense to have Palestine in friendly hands
 The Balfour Declaration of 1917, which made the Jewish homeland' an allied war aim, was a political move. Lloyd George admits that at least the timing of the declaration was determined by considerations of war policy. It was part of our propagandist strategy for mobiliz- ing every opinion and force throughout the world which would weaken the enemy and improve the allied chances" Tn a sense 1t was also the payment of a debt, a personal debt to Dr. Chaim Weizmanrl, whose chemical skill had saved the Brit ISh from threatening shortage of cor dlte. The Germans, too, had toyed with the idea of promising Jewish concession in Palestine, but the British beat them to From the first. and eveIi today. there

Limit Their Duties

In an effort to place the burden of expense on the proper department Gov ernor Raymond E. Baldwin has asserted that the cost of maintaining the State Police Department shall be borne by in- come derived by the State Highway De- partment. This statement is based on the fact that the work of the State Police is concerned chiefly with patrolling of roadways and maintaining law and order in operation of motor vehicles. If that is the sole work of the State Police then they should be an item of expense to the high way Department.
 It occurs to us, though, that State Policemen are often detailed to other duties. They, for example, investigate fires of suspicious nature. They also issue permits for use of halls for certain purposes and it is, therefore, part of their duties to inspect the same to see that they conform to the state laws governing their use. And we don't think that this exhauStS the number of duties which are Der of the State Police Department. AS a consequence there must be a division as to assuming cost of upkeep.
 As it stands today the Highway De- partment does contribute to State Police expenses. Maybe it isn't enough and more should be set aside from these funds and less from the general fund. If so, make the necessary changes. But unless it's duties are curtailed to include mere highway patrol duty it cannot logically be argued that the State Police is solely an arm or branch of the Highway or Motor Vehicle Departments and hence dependent on such income as these bu- reauS obtain from year to year.

has been a certain indefiniteness about the Palestine aim Was Jewish home land" to mean merely a Symbolical seat where Jewish culture might flourish and develop undisturbed, or an actually Sov- ereign and political Jewish state? The thought seems to have been to begin with the first and gradually merge into the second if population growth and progress justified it. But since Palestine, and especially Jerusalem, are holy ground not only to Jews, but to Christians and Mohammedans, it was clearly held in mind at all times that the Holy Places" must be kept available to all and the right of Arab and Christian as well as Jew preserved. President Wilson spoke of "JewiSh commonwealth" in Palestine, and the mandate might even have been given to America instead of Britain except that 1t was generally felt the American people would not accept it.
 The League of Nations mandate went to the British. They have administered the actual government of the country, while Jews, aided by Zionist movements all over the world, have been building it up economically. The Arabs, meanwhile, watched apprehensively the growth of Jewish population the building of Jew ish cities and industries, foreseeing a day when Jewish predominance might threaten their position. Repeated stud ies, commissions, investigations, reports, have sought a permanent allotment ot these conflicting interests.
 Always in the background have been British imperial interests as well, the World War obligations to the Arabs as allies, the position of Palestine near Suez and Egypt, the necessity of not alternating the Mohammedan world. Into this well ter of conflicting interests the latest pro- posal of the British "White Paper" has been flung, with little augury of success. Truly 2Oth-century Solomon might be sorely puzzled to deal even-handed jus tice to all today in troubled Palestine.

The minor court judgeships continue to remain sore puzzle to the Legislature and state officials. A few months ago we would have said without fear of con- tradiction that Republican leadership could swing into operation this year a new system of minor courts. Right after the first of January things looked very bright for the court reform that has been so long discussed in this state and so slow in arriving But unless controver- sial matters like this are handled deftly and quickly they gain lot of excess weight. That's what happened in the Connecticut Legislature. Now the reform proposal is so heavy that nothing can be done about changing the method of nam ing the minor court judges and there'll be the usual bargaining back and forth between Democrats and Republicans for places Sure, we'll get good judges, but there may be some bad ones, too. It's not the judges with whom fault is found, it's the system whereby politics influence their selection.

Forty-four publishers have joined in a plea urging that the Federal Writers project be. continued. And the list in- cludes some of the largest of our book publishing house executives. Their words of approval should carry plenty of weight down at Washington. It had been claimed that the WPA volumes were purely propa- ganda and that there was no permanent value in them This was refuted by the publishers who pointed out the lasting value of the many fine guide references that have been prepared in different sec tions of the nation A genuine con tribution" to American literature was the sum and substance of the praise.

THE BY-RoAD

THE BY-ROAD (Harry Elliot Nettleton, West Haven. in the
 New Haven Journals Courier) This morning turn to the by-road, With plenty of time at command, Where Nature has scattered her treasures With graceful and generous hand, The wild-fiowers bloom by the wayside; The birds sing their merriest song, AS ponds lie a-sparkling in sunshine And brooklets meander along. Back there in the old-ashioned gardens The stocks and tall hollyhocks grow; Stray sheep on the hillside are grazing, The COWS in the meadow below. I pass by the orchard and woodland, pass by the sun-loving farm, And gain inspiration and courage From the by-road's ineffable charm.

is just as real Hypocrisy commonly affects 8 character which it ought to maintain; and the act of hy- pocrisy is homage to the character. In this view, it is subject of some satisfaction that document exists which declares these powerful prin- ces have come to fixed resolution, both in the administration of their respective states, and in their poli- tical relations with every other gov- ernment, to take for their sole guide the precepts of Christian religion the precepts of Justice, Christian Charity and Peace: and which de- clares that these principles, far from being applicable only to private con- cerrls, must have an immediate in- fiuence on the councils of Princes as being the only means of consoli- dating human institutions, and rem- edying their imperfections.
 The time, it may be hoped, will come when such a declaration will be the congenial and natural results of principles that are actually gov- erning the Christian world today. Meantime let the philosopher and statesman keep that period in view, and endeavor to speed it's approach. The need of the world today is great leaders, to instill sound prin-
