Asked what the Vice President

"Oh, he never says much about

objects to is the way wear my hair. "
She explained her grandfather

Selected Poem
NORTHERN MORNING

(Staunton Calvert in the New York Times) The storm is broken. The day comes on;
 Its colors gain. Lake Huron under ascending dawn
 Is a vivid plain. Torn cloud, that over the green is blown
 Cool purple strews Night and the rain are inland flown;
 The wind pursues. A desolate roar the air has wrought
 By the cold skys might. The harried poplar bends, as thought
 To the guest of fright Run shoreward past the rushing pines
 Their shadows shun!- Gray rocks are agleam, the nearest waves shines Against the sun. Sing, and the sound is lost at your lips.
 The day is strong: It carries freight too vast for the ships
 Of human song.

A Bit Unfair

Remarks made in the editorial columns of the Hartford Times this week are just a bit unfair to member of the judiciary here in Waterbury. It may not have been the intention of the Times writer to cast aspersions, but anyone reading the con- text can only draw but one conclusion. And it's a conclusion with which we do not agree, with which those concerned certainly could not agree, with which anyone familiar with local conditions don't agree.
 We quote from The Times: "Those acquainted with Connecticut affairs for many years will applaud the appoint ment of John F. McDonough of Naugatuck
 to be judge of the Waterbury District Court. That Governor apparently feels that the Waterbury situation requires general change in that area. :" It is no compliment to Judge Edward J. Finn to feel that he is removed to correct any sort of conditions in Waterbury or viciri- itY. His conduct on the bench or for that matter in any walk of life has always been exemplary.

Who Wants War?

One of the questions asked of his radio listeners last Sunday afternoon by the Rev. Charles E. Coughlin of Royal Oak, Michigan, was the above. Who wants war? Let everyone ask himself or her. self this question tonight. Do you want to live through the horrible uncertain ties of another period like that which we had some twenty years ago? Too many American citizens, good, honest, upright citizens, ignore the possibilities of war, even laugh when they are asked to think or talk about it.
 The subject is paramount one right now because it is apparent that some force is pushing us closer and closer to a great world conflict. Father Coughlin must have struck responsive chord in touched on this subject. He certainly was never closer to the truth than when he pointed out that apparently irresistible forces are at work at Washington. Every thing we do today in this nation is step towards our participation in war.
 Persons whom everyone of us know don't want to see the United States pushed into war are being used to hurry us nearer to it. Millions of Americans are being used to spread the gospel of war. What have we to gain by participation in war, by our joining hands with any European power to prevent territorial expansion on the continent? We heartily agree with the radio priest that if the efforts were applied to rehabilitation and solving the unemployment problems of the nation that are being given to war preparations, this would be indeed the most prosperous and contented country on the face of the earth.

Why a Coroner?

The Bridgeport Times-Star recently brought up this question and disposed of it it by stating that no real reason can be given for continuation or perpetuation of the office of coroner. The question IS a pertinent one right now in view of the fact that the office is vacated in this sec tion of New Haven county, the duties being cared for by the Deputy Coroner, William B. Hennessey. We have listened to the arguments pro and con for good many years on the subject of abolishing the office and we don't know that the oppo- nents have so convinced either the state at large or the Legislature that the job is archaic.
 It is the contention of the Times-Star that the coroner'S work duplicates that ot- the medical examiner, police, prosecuting authorities, courts, etc. That might be true in some cases, but not in all. For one thing the medical examiner is GUS tomarily physician who is not qualified to examine witnesses to violent death in the manner that a trained lawyer probe may be duplicated by police, but not always in the smaller communities where there is no paid police force and oonstables do most of the investigating work.
 In your large city police are trained to collect all evidence where there is any indication that person may die or actu- ally has died in a motor crash or where death was not by natural causes. There will be duplication of effort here, but not always in vain It may be in time that the duties of the coroner will be com pletely absorbed by some other official or officials But until they are it is ad- visable to maintain the office.

In New York where horse racing is a must" sport, the state has long wav- cred back and forth between the book ies" and pari-mutuel betting. But the former has always prevailed. First it prevailed not under the protecting arm of the law, but sort of overlooked by it. Of recent years the bookies have been protected by law, thus giving them fine advantage over the proponents of the mechanical form of betting, which is pari- mutuel. There can be no argument against pari-mutuel betting in it's in- trinsic form. Extrinsically it may be just as bad as any form of gambling. But as a means of gambling it is the safest for the bettor to indulge in. So New York may get chance to approve or disap- prove of it very shortly as it's Legislature is considering bill for a constitutional amendment on pari-mutuel betting.

of use in war, such as food and clothing.
 The rules of international law as recognized up to 1914 were violated in the late war, with our acquies- cence. The allied powers insisted that food and clothing and all nec- essities for the support of life, were contrabands of war and were seized as such. Without doubt they would again be termed contraband and seized by whatever powers had the ability to establish effective block ades.
 A policy of cooperative assistance cannot be as accurately defined. It would include measures short of sending an army abroad, such as placing embargoes and sanctions" against shipments to the dictator" powers, and giving all assistance possible to the democratic powers, including the extension of credit and the free passage of goods of all sorts, either in their ships or our own.
 A policy of complete isolation in a modern world is probably not pos- sible. Whatever happens in one quarter of the world today affects all sections of the world tomorrow Rapid communication gives us com- plete news of happenings yesterday anywhere in the world. Our markets are affected by policies adopted re- garding commerce between any ma jor countries of the world. The prices we pay for goods, particularly foodstuffs and raw materials, de- pend at once upon the policies adopted elsewhere in the world. The purchasing power of our dollar is die rectly affected by the policies gov- erning the exchange of credits be- tween other financial centers of the world. The dislocations of war on sea and land have an immediate ef- feet upon life here.

Certainly here in Waterbury where Judge Finn was born, brought up, has always practiced his profession the idea that he is made victim of reform movement is rather repugnant. It were far better to leave unsaid the reason for the change than to link him with some thing with which he is not even remotely connected.

Colonial Appeasement

British statesmen who seemed willing some time ago to consider returning col cnies taken from Germany during the World War have stiffened lately and de- clared they will not give back one foot of territory. France, also rich in colonies, some of which were gained at Germanys expense, has steadily refused to consider any restoration.
 This is natural and human response to the threatening attitude of the dic- tators, who have put the colonial powers to vast expense and trouble in preparing against a new war. But even if the im- perial democracies think they have right to those colonies they acquired under a mandate from the League of Nations, 1t is a mistake to take the attitude they are taking. For they are giving the dic- tators a grievance which helped to hold their people in line and to justify new acts of aggression.
 Britain and France, anyway, don't need those German colonies. True, they have spent money on them and labored to develop them, and settled some of their own people on them. But their title is not clear And there may be consider able trading value in those colonies. If there is any chance of consolidating the dictators and preventing great war by releasing some of that colonial territory, they would do well to try it. No such real estate will be worth much anyway, if the nations drift into another free-for-all.

Del, and when 1t looked certain that the Loyalist government would fall, its agents sought per- mission to sell them to Russia.
 Speed was necessary to keep the windfall from going to Franco, thus directly or indirect 1y aiding his dictator allies. But when permission to make the sale was asked, Joe Green, head of the State Department Munitions Board, in effect re- fused. He placed enough ob- stacles in the way to make 1t virtually impossible.
 So the matter was taken over Greens head to the President by certain members of the Cabinet. Finally the airplanes were sold, chiefly to Mexico.
 All this was done well before Franco was recognized. However, there remained in American banks large amount from the sale, and this was one reason Franco was so anxious to secure quick recognition.
 By this time, Ambassador de los Rios had split with his old chief, Premier Negrin, and had joined the CaSada forces. However, other Spanish representatives in the United States remained loyal, and -I> T the money.
 Their proposal was to use the balance of funds, to care for Spanish refugees in England, France and the United States. They were willing to turn the money over to the State Depart ment or any American agency to be used for this purpose, arguing that Spanish refugees
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-05-03

would become q charge upon the rest of the world, and that the American public would be appealed to to help take care of them.
 So it was much better, they contended, for the United States to cooperate in keeping these funds out of Franco's hands and in the hands of a committee for the relief of refugees. Certain State Department officials were approached on this, butt hey were indifferent.
 So Franco was recognized. Just before recognition was granted, however, Loyalist representatives who had broken away from the benign and timid de los Rios managed to transfer the Spanish cash supply to more cooperative countries.

Press Comment
FOR THE DUTCH ELM DISEASE
 FIGHT
(Bridgeport Times-Star)

Bridgeport Times-Star)
 Both Congressman Albert E. Aus tin and Senator Francis T. Maloney are waging a valiant battle in Washington to have an appropria- ton for fighting the Dutch elm disease restored to the Agricultural Department appropriation bill.
 The Budget Bureau recommended $778,489 for this work, and this amount was also recommended by the president. But the amount was eliminated in the house, over the protests of Congressman Austin, and now Senator Maloney is making an effort to have 1t restored in the house.
 Fairfield county, more threatened by the Dutch elm disease than any other locality in America, is vitally interested in every possible way of fighting this menace to its most beautiful trees. The fact that last falls hurricane damaged so many fine trees here and throughout Con- necticut makes 1t all the more im- portant to preserve those we still have.
 We hope Congressman Austin and Senator Maloney get somewhere with their plea.

If you are one of the 1000 Connecti- cut motorists who haven't as yet secured 1889 driving licenses, better get it before the police nab you. In Bridgeport the crusade against licenseless drivers has already started and no doubt local police twill soon be notified as to the number of Waterbury drivers who are as yet without their proper credentials. In the Park City 34 drivers were nabbed in short time by police checking at one street inter- section. Offenders either paid $5 or posted bond of $1O for later appearance.
 Even though there are 100000 without licenses, the number who secured them is higher this year at this date than in 1888.

Slippery trolley tracks are the cause of many indirect motor crashes, claims Police Chief Charles A. Wheeler of Bridge port. Removal of tracks in Connecticut cities where busses now are used entirely is quite problem, but if the day ever comes when presence of unused tracks is directly blamed for a motor fatality both the city and the traction company may find themselves involved in litigation.
