Wars Meaning on Business

If subsequent analysis bear out present predictions that the American business curve is bending upward once more, full credit for the expansion of domestic markets is likely to go to the war abroad There is Scant reason to deny that any European conflict should produce some effect on American business. No one in this country believed indices would be unaffected when hostilities broke out in September It is too early to forecast accurately the eventual results of Europe's conflict on business trends in the United States, but it is interesting to note the theory that the war was merely the in- strument rather than the cause of expansion. This point of view is taken by The Annalist in it's quarterly review and business forecast edition.
 Since the United States was swept into the depression in 1929, industrial produc- tion has curved downward, despite con- tinued increase in population, it is pointed out. From comparative charts, it is con- cluded that demand for manufacturing output has been restrained during the past 10 years almost to the point where increased consumption must become inevitable. Ut seems reasonable to con- clude that the outbreak of war has been
 
 latent demand for goods suggested by the marked disparity since 1929 between the growth of the population and the trend of industrial production" The Annalist declares. It follows as a corollary that if sharp decline would come after the ces- saticn of hostilities, business would shortly find it's own level again and pro- ceed with the interrupted expansion.
 Furthermore, an increasingly large group of American economists and in- dustrialists say that if the United States enters the war, the postwar outlook would be black Excessive profits during the period of the war would be clipped by high taxes. Even though there might be enough left to give industrialists an ample share, the somber after-effects do not appeal to business men today. This coun- try does not want another 1929. Excesses in the business cycle must be eliminated in favor of steady market flow. War profiteering, in its most sinister connota- tion, can produce no healthy results. So far, American business men want none of it. For the most part, they have ex- pressed their desire to ride with the normal trend, foregoing the nasty profits that may later lead to ruin.

City Employes First

We don't doubt but what the candi- dates now seeking favor with the elector- ate will make some promises about talk ing care of city employees That should be of primary consideration right now what with promises ready to be made. It goes without saying that any candidate elected to the office of mayor on Novem- Der IA will have to come to definite decision about the city employees. The Democrat believes that the ten per cent pay cuts should be eliminated Salaries should be restored to their former levels.
 This should be done for several req sons, but the main one, of course, is that no group of city employees should be penalized because of the conditions that have existed or may still exist After all they are entitled, as much as any man, to the basic salary for which they are con- tracted. A continuation of tho policy that the several city employe groups must contribute to the city's relief expenditures does not readily lend itself to whole hearted support.
 The city fathers who are already work ing on the budget for next year cannot afford to ignore the need now of restor- ing all city employees to their rightful salary classification. And if this is not deemed possible by the present officials, then it is up to those who are seeking our votes next month to show how it can be done.

Wrong Way, MT. Foster

In his opening campaign radio address, MT. Foster, who by the way, is the Repup- lican candidate for mayor, announced III sincere voice, that the past was behind us and that he looked only to the future. It sounded like his own good intention But the inner-circle steering committee Tn the Republican throne-room had other ideas and MT. Fosters own program has to take a back-seat. Now every speech looks backward not forward to satisfy the re- venge complex of the discredited Repub- lican leadership group.
 But if MT. Foster wants to look into the past and avoid the future, let him add few years to the period of his retrospec- tion and include the last Republican ad- ministration which Waterbury had, the Sandland regime, when the white-ele- phant Isolation Hospital, costing $4OO,OOO was foolishly built and when most of the evil spendthrift financial policies which Waterbury has endured were first intro duced
 Let him discover there, if he wishes to make an honest picture, the foundation of Waterburys debt structure, the intro duction of loaded payrolls at election time, the squandering of public funds in profligate fashion, the institution of OOllllCdI GlldL w A1oo AASNNA known before.
 Then, if he wants to be fair and honest in the matter, let him go back few years more to the honest, fearless, econ- omical administration of Mayor Martin Scully, who left office with surplus in the city treasury and without burdening the taxpayers with excessive bond debt.
 There are enough citizens living, both Republicans and Democrats, who re- member things that happened before MT. Foster came to town, anc if he wants to delve into history, he should inquire of some of these old-timers of his own party, instead of the upstarts and they will put him on the right track
 Waterbury's financial troubles started under Republican regime. They can be stopped again, and we think they will be, under another Scully regime.

Boys Will Be Bows

How many times has some boyish prank been excused on the theory that it's the nature of the American boy to be up to pranks and that restraint of him in his development period might not be the wise thing. Well, right at this time of the year a good many householders, who were boys themselves, don't subscribe to the theory. This is the time of the year when youth is having fling. We trust that his fling won't cause too much property damage throughout the city
 We believe in a proper celebration of Halloween It's a nice holiday and Amer jeans should enter into the spirit of it.
 Everyone can have a lot of fun, young folks and grownups. But pranks which lead to damage to private property don't come within the scope of legitimate en- joyment of Halloween. Too often what seems like good trick on neighbor turns out to be piece of vandalism that costs him more money than he can afford to pay for new windows, painting out signs, replacing parts of his property, etc.
 We urge young Waterbury to have a rollicking good time tomorrow night, but
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-10-30

Once again the state officials are recog- nizing the fact that the law is being flouted by owners of motor vehicles that bear what are termed pleasure car regis tration plates. A drive is now afoot against owners of cars who use them in transporting people to and from their places of employment at a fixed charge. A good many factory workers are enabled to pay for the cost of their own transpor- tation by taking a few neighbors or friends back and forth to work every day. The law is quite stringent about this and anybody who is caught openly collecting fee from such passengers is apt to be heavily fined. In order to do this legally public utility licenses have to be obtained and different type of license plate used A few years ago there was movement afoot to stamp out this practice in Water bury and inspectors were active checking up on cars.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-10-30

don't run afoul of the law, even though you may escape the penalty. And in this Halloween celebration let's eliminate all guns, such as air-rifles or small calibre rifles. They are being used too promis- culously as it is in and around the city. Their use has been restricted by the police, but apparently there still are parents who believe they must bring the growing boy up with gun in his hands. They fail, though, to exercise either the proper restraints in the use of rifles or to keep close observation on their use and oper- ation.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-10-30

There's one point about this so-called racket" though, that we have always emphasized. That's the fact that some times a driver may be legitimately trans porting passengers to and from work. We don't think the law is so rigid that it would convict the motor vehicle owner who gets the price of gasoline and oil from passengers whom he might be ac- customed to pick up and transport five days week. Any man who got free ride every time he was going to work or coming home would insist on some such arrangement whereby he would pay his share of the transportation costs. It's the driver, though, who runs a virtual jitney line the officials want to nab.

ITALIANS URGED TO DEFEAT THE PAPE-UPSON
 FACTION
Editor The Democrat:

Editor The Democrat:
 It has been announced in reli- liable sources. as the reporters would say, that as result ot Mayor Portfolios retirement from the mayoralty race an aggressive cam- paign will be conducted among the l2,000 local Italian-American voters to assure the election of Atty. Vim cent Scully and the entire Demo cratic slate.
 Being convinced that William J. Pape, the real power behind the throne of the Republican party and Atty. J. Warren UpSon never have had a fair regard for Republicans of Italian extraction, they see no other logical means for attaining satisfaction but to assure the defeat of the entire Republican slate.
 While two years ago a quiet cana paign was carried on to nave the Republican ticket defeated for the purpose of vindication on account of the custer of Atty. Frederick w, PRlomba from the chairmanship of the Republican town committee, and the dropping of many Italian-Am ericanS from the same, the campaign against the Republican slate will now be carried on. openly.
 Thousands of Republican voters mindful of the reputed traditional animosity of the Repuhlican-Amer can newspapers towards the Italian race, and J. Warren UpSons service to an individual or group who are reputed to nourish disrespect for American citizens of Italian origin or descent, will not be impressed by

can appreciate the possibility of peace through rebellion at home. WORRY OVER STALIN
 Even more significant than these factors is the backstage maneu- vering on the part of some Britt ishers to patch up deal where- by the German military would turn against Russia.
 Russia plus the fear of eventual socialism in England bring no happiness to the British upper crust. They know, moreover. that the German Junkers, who never did like Hitler, cannot be too pleased at Russian Communism next door to their big estataes in what was Poland.
 As a result, British diplomacy is pointing out to Italy the inn portance of a new anti COmin- tern group to block the spread of Bolshevism. Such British publishers as Lord Kemsley pub- licly proclaim that Hitler has become of secondary import ance", and that because of what Turks" behind Hitler "the avenues to peace" must be carefully examined.
 Sections of the British Catholic press reflect the same view. while the Methodist Recorder of Lon- don predicts that in case of Bol- shevism penetrating Germany, ''the military rulers in Berlin would turn to the Allies. patch up a peace and invite their help in opposing the Russian invasion"
 All of which points to two possible developments: if (1I the fear of Stalin does not bring peace, (2) the time may come when Stalin will carry his ban ners across beth Germany and
