impossible for any real control over the city budget to be had. Commis- sioner John H. Goss suggested that any proposed ordinance be submit- ted to the mayor, but Commissioner Patrick Perriello asserted that any ordinance passed by the aldermen would have to go to the mayor for approval.
 Shepaug Again
 In another communication, MT. Purcell recommended that Superin- tendent of Streets Thomas J. Fleming be instructed to have all acquisitions for town aid funds from the state clear through the controllers office. Such a practice, he said, would enable the street department to take advantage of the experience of our purchasing staff."
 In still another communication. MT. Purcell asked that the status of the Shepaug dam be studied, and a decision made as to what city de- partment should supervise it.
 The recommendations were refer red to the economy committee.
 The board tabled request by Dr. E. J. Godfrey, city health officer, for the boarding up of the isolation hospital windows, at a cost of $1473.
 The board voted to make its rule that $500 bonds for policemen be posted by approval surety companies effective on policemen appointed to the force since April ', 1888. On that date the board voted to have surety bonds posted by a number of policemen appointed before that time.
 Surety Bonds
 Policemen appointed in the past year, who have posted property bonds, must now post surety bonds at their own expense. The board members said that later they might seek to secure a blanket bond for the entire police department and have it provided for in the budget.
 The board received a request from Corp. Counsel O'Connor that the books of his office be audited, and that water bills and assess ments in his possession be turned over to the tax collector.
 The municipal golf course re- ported deficit of $594, and the Washington Park Community house an operating deficit of $2,20l .29. Hamilton Park reported it has an operating balance of $1.135, with h. other $400 available from the park department sinking fund.

I
 With the city now having the largest number of relief cases in its history, it is expected that the Vel fare Department appropriation will be expended long before the end of the year. The money would be bor- roWed from the Baldwin Street Bridge Fund and the street and general improvement fund. The money would be returned to the funds next year. Probably after the levying of special tax.
 's State Funds
 Acting Controller James P. Pur- cell reported that the sum of $35,- 756.22 is due from the state through town aid funds. He recommended that this money be used for the purchase of highway materials, and that $35,000 already set aside for such a purpose in the city budget, be turned over to the Welfare De- partment for relief work. MT. Pur- cell said he had been in touch with the State Highway Department in connection with the State Aid Funds. The board referred the recommen- dation to the economy committee.
 The acting controller recommend ed to the board the passage of a new city ordinance designed to pre- vent over expenditures of appro- priationS for salaries. The ordinance would forbid the hiring of employees, the payment of whose salaries would cause the salary items of depart ment budgets to be thrown out of balance.
 MT. Purcell claimed that two re- cent rulings by Corporation Coun- sel Charles s. O'Connor make it

action would require Matchmaking
Of all production and industry, and
further centralizing all Government
in washington. We are aware Of
the difficulties Of enforcement of
that type Of embargo, exemplified,
as they were, by even bloody resist
ance during the Jefferson Embargo.
AS the historian, Bancroft, has 50
well put It:
Commerce defies every wind,
outrides every tempest, in
vades every zone"
Moreover, the danger Of establish.
ing non-participation in the trade
and finance of the world is that such
action would require vast financing
scheme to further organize control
Of all business and commercial activ-
tiles, to cushion the fall of industrial
employment, agricultural marketing,
and the lack Of necessary materials
not obtainable here. The Dictator
ship perfected thereby would insure
to us and to our posterity a curse Of
urhappiness.
Isolation would be almost as dan
gerous to our institutions as war.
BY either isolation or war, we would
lose much that our forefathers sac
rificed to gain and to transmit to us.
To choose the type of embargo
provided for by the pending resolu-
ton, instead of the existing embargo,
would aid in our national defense,
and would tend to prevent both
isolation and war.
1t would help this generation of
Americans to discharge their high
obligation to preserve the Republic
and to maintain peace.

resolution binds us to embargoes In
some other future war, it is subject
to q similar criticism: That we
cannot foretell what our interest
may be or what position we should
take.
It is my opinion that the resolu-
ton ought to be amended to pro.
vide for its expiration as soon as
the state Of war has ceased to
exist.
Our present grave concern about
the preservation OF republican
liberty In this country dictates ad-
herence to the exclusive preroga-
tive Of this Government to decide
as each case arises what character
Of international conduct this Gov-
ernment will adopt.
Hughes Words Cited.
Chief Justice Hughes, when Sec
retary Of State, within a few years
after the World War, characterized
this policy in an address to the
American Bar Association, thus:
"Our people are still intent upon
abstaining from participation in the
political strife of Europe. They are
not disposed to commit this Gov
ernment in advance to the use of
its power in unknown contingencies,
preferring to reserve freedom of ac-
ton in the confidence Of our ability
and readiness to respond to every
future call of duty. They have no
desire to put their power in pledge.
but they do not shirk cooperation
with other nations whenever there
is a sound basis for it and con-
| sciousness of community Of interest
and aim. Cooperation is not die
tatorship and 1t is not partisanship
Evening star., 1939-10-17

On our part 1t must DO the co-opera-
ton Of free people drawing their
strength from many racial stocks,
and cooperation that is made
possible by a preponderant senti-
menr permitting governmental ac-
ton under q system which denies
all exercise Of autocratic rover. It
will be the cooperation Of q people
Of liberal ideals, deeply concerned
with the maintenance Of peace and
interested in all measures which
find support n the common sense
Of the country as being practical
and well designed to foster COM
mon interests"
AS a people, we would like to
have our Government on friendly
terms with all states, totalitarian, as
well as democratic. We would not
interfere with the right Of every
nation to conform to its own beliefs
without trespassing upon us, but In
both peace and war, this Republic
must defend itself against domi-
nance by others, and against in
Sidious sapping OF the battlements
of its freedom
Dangers Of Isolation.
I credit the distinguished oppo-
nents of the pending resolution with
recognition of the dangers Of isola-
ton. I think that it is inaccurate
to label them "isolationists." How
ever, there are worthy citizens who
have communicated to me the belief
that we should adopt an attitude OF
withdrawal commercially to our con-
tinental areas for the duration OF
the war. I believe that it is the
general opinion Of all Senators
now debating the issue that such
