Fund Diversions

We don't know if Gov. Raymond E. Baldwin is going to succeed in winning legislative approval of his plan to divert funds from the Highway Department to the State Motor Vehicle Department. On the surface it doesn't seem like much of A radical trend, because the work of the state police is mostly concerned with the patroling highways. But they do nave other duties and much will be made ol this other work when opponents or the diversion plan go to work on the Scheme before legislative committees.
 Strictly speaking the duties of the state police are correlated to the expansion or contraction of our highway system. Even now there is an annual contrlou- ton from highway funds to the upkeep of the state police department. Shifting the entire burden, however, might Tn time be directly responsible for a curtailment in highway expansion or maintenance m order to make income cover anticipated expenses. Or it might have to be worked the other way-increase the taxes upon the motorist to make both ends meet
 There is danger ahead in fund diver sion any way you look at it and unless vou can depend upon an administration that will be firm in the face of many and pressing requests this tendency is going to broaden out until you may find the taxes the motorist pays doing every thing but build new roads and main- tain old ones. After all that's one reason why the motorist doesn't do too much complaining about his taxes. He sees what the state is providing for him in the way of fine roads and Is glad to be a contributor to such an undertaking.
 Further experiments with fund diver sion will surely center attention, too, on pay-as-you go highways and bridges, We are getting near to that condition here in Connecticut and, although many claim it is retrogression instead of prog ress, the toll road and bridge may be the solution of all problems of highway financing, particularly SO when they. in- volve million-dollar projects, super-hi igh- ways that traverse an entire state, etc.

Those Planes For France

The furry over selling American war planes to France has arisen so suddenly that 1t is easy to get wrong slant on 1t. The main thing is to have our facts straight. Some good Americans seem to have got false idea of the situation be- cause the government, mistakenly as 1t seems now, undertook to keep the matter quiet. As the facts emerge, many citizens and newspapers find them reassuring rather than alarming. This Is obviously the prevailing sentiment in the middle western industrial area, at least. In Cleveland, which does not make air. planes, the three newspapers, regardless of political leaning, unanimously ap- prove such sales.
 The Plain Dealer, independent Demo cratic, and often critical of New Deal policies, says: ITO call the manufacture by private American companies of war planes for the French government an ialliance' between Washington and Paris ig to paint commercial arrangement as an international agreement. It IS unjusti- fled and has no basis in truth. In the event of actual conflict between France and some other nation, the neutrality law would halt the shipment of planes"
 The Cleveland News, Republican, says: aWhy not planes for France? No army rifle has been violated. No army secrets have been diyulged. There is not the a1iaI1feet violation of our neutrality laws. eQghat better way Is there of escaping in the next European war {Hnn fo strengthen the Democratic na- fIor1s facing the totalitarian nenace?

Service Plus

Gas stations in this country are to be still further spruced up. Hereafter, &C., cording to the American Petroleum h. stitute, gas station men are to wear bow ties and shave daily Courtesy, neatness and prompt service are to be their watch words. Stations are to be neat and attractive, driveways well-groomed, ev- erything thoroughly clean and orderly. There are to be comfortable waiting rooms available during car servcing jobs.
 The reason for all this effort is the woman driver. It Is estimated that every third steering wheel Is in the hands Of Q woman who won't return to any sta ton of lower standards. For some sta tions, meeting all these requirements will constitute radical reform. For many, however, the regime will be merely . continuation of present practices. Gas stations in the United States are already famous for the most alert and courteous attendants and the most efficient service in the world.

Pan-American Ties

The All-American conference at Lima is disappointing in some respects. It can not point to much positive achievement. It hasn't changed the face of the world, There is no spectacular victory for the United States. AS between this country and Argentina, the two strongest powers and inveterate rivals, neither dominated the conference. Our own chief purpose, the formation of united bloc of free nations strong enough to guarantee the preservation of this whole hemisphere against foreign tyranny, was not ac- complished so definitely as we could wish.
 Nevertheless any American who has followed the progress of the conference and observed its spirit may well be opti- miStic about the results. It did not crack up. It kept going, preserved its temper and a reasonable amount of unity, and did many useful things for our western family of nations. Above all, it preserved its loose but friendly unity and sense of interdependence.
 And isn't that last fact alone reason enough for general congratulation? The World Court is falling to pieces, but the Pan-American Union carries on. And it is a safe guess that there are no other 21 nations on earth today that could be together two weeks without fighting. In no other quarter of the world is there the mutual forbearance and good will that there is in this hemisphere. And as is the way with democracy, our ties may be all the stronger because they are informal

Announcement that the legislative committee on reorganization would re- port favorably on the bill creating D. man board which will act as the state authority on flood control makes us wonder If this board will supersede the present State Water Commission in all such matters. It seems to us that there was a movement afoot to increase the powers of the State Water Commission so that 1t might properly deal with and handle all such matters as pertained to the waters of the state. Certainly flood conditions, whether they originate within the state or without, should come within the province of this commission, Also 1t should be empowered to deal with indi- viduals or companies that are maintain ing dams in the state. Proper and regu- lar inspection of the same Is certainly necessary today. We trust that all such powers can be coordinated SO that one agency may handle them all.

 Wistar was an ambitious young Pennsylvania who followed the iewly-blazed trials to tho west and found himself on tho way to Caii- fornia with the Forty Miners. The recital Of this li0-day trek occupies large portion of his book. ' Wistar knew thirst and dust, In- dian attacks and stampodes. When no arrived In the land Of Eidorado he was iii rags, almost barefoot, without money or provisions. TO make matters worse he found flour selling for 7b cents c pound, bacon ct si.2b. Either you struck gold quickly or you starved out.
 From gold digging young Wistar turned to trapping, hunting, and lat. CT cattle raising. He paints . faithful picture of the American Of rugged individualisfn."
 Finally, he turned east after many years, fought with distinction in the CNii War. and found his place in the new surge Of industrialisra that followed the closing Of the frontier.

in which President Roosevelt appears to have approached the deal. But let mem bers of Congress not lose sight of the main point: That the more planes we sell France (at present) the more we save our own necks."
 The Cleveland Press, independent Scripps-Howard paper, says: "There is nothing either in law or morality against such sales. We are incredibly lucky to make such deal What is happening is that France and Britain are paying us in gold for the privilege of strengthening one of the most important and most threatened outposts of our own national defense"

There seems to be plenty of approval in Massachusetts for bill that calls for licensing of all bicycles. A nominal sum of 30 cents is to be charged for boys and girls operating bikes, while adults using them would have to pay 40 cents While the tax plan may not meet with popular approval, there should be general &C., quiescence to the idea of licensing bicycles SO that Identification can be more readi- ly established and ownership proved. Use of license plates is good scheme and one that will tend ultimately to create more orderly and safe operation.

 GERMAN BOMBS
 For Mrs. Cordell Hull, the trip back from Lima was ruined by an incident about c German and Q bomb. It happened at the Pa- cific port Of Manta, and the story has only now leaked out in Washington.
 Secretary and Mrs. Hull, with the U, s. delegation, were retuin- ing on the Santa Maria". Just as the ship was pulling out of the harbor, Q cry arose of Man over- boardl' The ships engines churned in reverse, e life.hoot was dropped, and passengers crowded the rail,
 The man was picked up, talk en to another ship lying in the harbor. Then the Santa Maria proceeded on its way. But the dining salon that evening buxxed with excited speculation. The other ship was . German vessel, and the rumor spread that the man was Q German agent who had planted . bomb on board.
 Most distressed of all was Mrs. Hull, who realized her husband could have been the object of such q plot. She became prostrated with the thought that Q bomb might actually have been planted In their statefoon,
 Before long, however. c sheepish second steward admitted what really happened. The German was an acquaintance who had boarded the Santa Maria for c little friendly drinking while they lay In harbor. They became obs livious to the passage of time, and

Selected Poem
THE OLD AUTOGRAPH ALBUM

tBy Herbert Durrc Smart in the Boston PosD Among my treasured souvenirs
 The album Is laid away; And oft in fancy the past returns
 And seems but yesterday. Remembered hands write in the book, The cherished leaves among, And schoolmates mingle as they did Tn days when were were young, can picture in my mind today
 A halo glowing OCT, While the hands of memory turn the leaves Of that autograph album Of yorc, In fancy see those boys and girls. And hear them laugh and shout As they did in school-days, long ago. Tn childhood, or thercabout. Ill the old Schoolhouse my heart is there, At recess time Of day, When autograph albums were passed around, And used without delay. One whose signature I still recall k now far, far away; But there's place in my heart reserved For her alone today.

Dog racing in Connecticut is going to be sought for, from what we can learn in legislative dispatches. Although there was a prompt reaction against the pari- mutuel bill for trotters and pacers, an undercurrent of opinion has 1t that some one may "sneak" through dog-racing bill that would, unless all plans are track in western Connecticut near the New York state line.
