the budget estimate for the current
year, the estimate of which was seven
billion 800 million dollars. The esti-
mate for the next fiscal year does
not include deficiencies, which for the
current year amounted to two bill
lion 618 million dollars Should the
deficiencies next year prove equally
great, and it is estimated they will,
the total cost of operating the gov
eminent will be in excess of 10 bill
lion dollars. 1t is reported that the
new budget estimates the national
debt at AZ billion 500 million at the
end of the next fiscal year.
One of the biggest items in the new
budget is for national defense which
will be considerably in excess of one
billion dollars.
Well may we ask, against whom
are we arming?" President Roose-
welt and his advisors are playing a
game that is fraught with the gravest
dangers to our continued peace. They
have inaugurated campaign of name
calling against Germany, Italy and
Japan that would hardly be worthy
of a hoodlum, and which cannot fail
to aggravate the present tense situa-
ton.
I am afraid that they are deliber-
ately trying to provoke a war, for the
purpose of taking our minds off the
administrators failure to make good
on their 1882 promises, to end the
depression, to put the unemployed
back to work, and to give the farmer
a profitable market for his products.
I would not be surprised to learn
that our government is being egged
on by Britain and France because
they are not in a position to take a
bold stand against the totalitarian
states, so it looks as though it will
be up to Uncle Sam to again pull
their chestnuts out of the fire.
I pray that the sober and mature
judgment of America may prevail
in the crisis which l fear is fast ap-
preaching. Our people want no war.
We need a long period of peace to
solve the many problems that beset
us at home.
Treaty With Argentina Next.
From sources that are usually well
informed 1 learn Exploratory" con-
ferences are being held between rep
resentatives of the United States and
the Argentine republic The Argen-
tinians have several detectives. They
are anxious to lower the tariff bars
on corn, wool and dressed beef, pork
and mutton.
For a number of years there has
been an embargo on meat imports
from the Argentine because of the
hoof and mouth disease, which is
prevalent in many parts of that coun-
try, and the advocates of the trade
agreement feel that the embargo
should be lifted because there is no
danger of introducing the hoof and
mouth disease into this country
through dressed meats. That may be
true but it is significant that Eng
land, which permits the importation
of dressed meats from the Argentine,
is and has been suffering from cpl
denies of hoof and mouth disease
outbreaks, and I do not see why we
should take any chances along that
line. Then, too, the American farm
er is capable of supplying all our
needs in corn and meat, and if the
American wool grower were given
half chance he could soon expand
to point where it would not be nee
essary to import wool.
When the reciprocal trade law was
first enacted we were told what won

Pope Voices Hope
Poland Will Retain
Religious Freedom
Offers Consolation on
Suffering Of War
Victims
d the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
CASTEL GANDOLFO, Sept. 80
Pope Plus XII expressed the hops
today that religious freedom would
survive in dismembered Poland
despite many reasons for fear
given by the too-well-known de-
signs Of enemies of God"
Speaking at an audience for
Polish residents of Rome In his
first public utterance since the tn
vasion of Poland, the Pope ad-
monished his hearers that "as you
shed bitter tears for your dead,
remember that Poland Is not 60
ing to die"
May Christ, who wept at the
death OF Lazarus and over the ruin
of his fatherland, gather and some
day compensate you for the tears
you spill over your dead and over
that Poland which does not want
to die"
Consoling the Polish people in
this frightful, tragic hour" he told
the Poles that their sorrow thus
tempered with hope will not be
mixed with rancor or even less with
hate"
Consolation Offered.
He offered his consolation, too, 1T
the sight of Hundreds Of Thousands
OF poor human beings, some non
combatants" suffering from
wounds In bodies and souls from
this war, from which all Of our ef-
forts 80 persistently and ardently,
but nevertheless futilely, sought to
preserve from Europe"
He appealed to the bishops and
clergy to continue their work in
Poland and said he hoped for the
preservation Of liberty Of vorship,
the Catholic press, charitable tnsti-
tutions, social work and religious
instruction.
August Cardinal Hlond, primate
OF Poland, stood beside the Pope Is
he bestowed his apostolic blessing
on the Polish people. Many Of
those in the audience, mostly nuns
and priests. wept At the Popes
words.
When he finished speaking the
Pope stepped down from his dais
and stood in rapt attention Is the
gathering sang May God Protect
Poland" the hymn with which the
Poles have comforted themselves in
previous partitions of their home
land by foreign powers.
Speaks Il Foles' valor.
The Pope spoke Of the Poles mill
tary valor, their 10 centuries of de
tending Christian Europe" and their
great religious faith. He added that
the Polish people had lost their lives
and goods before in the nations
long history, but declared there are
riches which are not kept in stronx
boxes, but In the human heart"
These you have never lost" he
said, nor above all have the Polish
people lost their faith. =
I'm their tempestuous life these
people have known hours of dis
couragement, periods of seeming
death. but also they have seen DAYS
OF revival and resurrection.
Poland is faithful to the faith Of
Christ and for that reason We are
sure that you will never give I'D the
sentiments % solidly anchored IN
your souls" the Pope said.

Let the City Decide

Concensus of editors of Connecticut newspapers seem to be that the expected favorable report of the Cities and Bor- oughs Committee of the Legislature on the city manager referendum bill should be approved by both houses of the Assem- bly, in view of revelations of municipal failings made during the current con- spiracy trial. In view of the fact that the issue is definitely left up to the individual voter few, if any, residents of this city have actually opposed the proposed rel erendunl.
 Everyone seems agreed that referen- dunn on the question of city manager form of government should be held. While it may not seem overly important, we'd say offhand that the question of when such a referendum should be held is at tracting more attention right now than any other. Naturally proponents of it are deSirous that it be held at such time as will do their cause the most good This, we think, has created more definite op- position than might have been aroused in the city had the time element not been stressed.
 The attempt to amend the original measure if it proves successful may be the one thing that will cause legislative objections However, there is no need to arouse discussion over this until It is presented. The rigmarole of changing the city's election date on the assumption that 1t might not be necessary to elect all of them this year is just bit more than the average citizen will stand for. Eithei the referendum within three weeks of the bill's passage or accompanying the city election in October should be strived for. preferably the latter to our way of think ing, although we know that this date may be regarded as prejudcial to one side of the argument.

and insiders" with schemes for playing the market, and many Of them have big following. They may or may not go along with the natural forces at work. Sometimes, in their influence, they go counter to the natural forces.
 Never has the stock market been sub jected to such extensive and vigorous scrutiny and analysis" says MT. Flynn. "Never have experts = good, bad and in- different - promulgated so many theo- ries of speculation and investment. Also, never have there been so many counsel lors giving advice to spectators and in- vestorS. What must be the fate of the market when any considerable number of experts send out to their clients the signal to sell or buy, and what must be the effect when most, if not all of them, hit upon the same signal at the same time?"
 Different groups may work at cross purposes, or overdo the pressure in a certain direction. The result is chaotic. It is an unusually good time for novices, especially, not to gamble in stocks.

 were those stated above.

Freaky Market

People who used to think they had at least a little understanding of the stock market are puzzled lately. Sometimes person of ordinary intelligence and in- formation thinks he has glimmering as to why the market moves up or down, but mostly it is very puzzling. According to John T. Flynn, who has written good as an expert, there is double reason for this puzzle. For one thing, stocks are usually subject now to governmental and world influences which themselves are complex and difficult to understand For another thing. there are too many experts

Science in History

Some Britishers are concerned about history as taught to their sons and daughters in school. It has improved considerably, they admit, since the time when it was mostly series of dates which the young memorized and used at exam ination time. They think, however, that there is room for much more improve ment.
 An article in the Manchester Guardian tells of some of the horrible examples such critic has discovered. In one up to-date textbook, he reported, chapters were devoted to Napoleon, pages to Glad stone, but not one sentence to Faraday. Yet Faraday's influence on the world through his numerous discoveries in the realms of chemistry, physics and elec- tricity, may we'll have been more i'm portant than that of either the emperor or the prime minister.
 It may be that the writer of the history thought Faraday would be well presented in science classes and textbooks, and no doubt that is so. Nevertheless, history books should not ignore him. One trou- ble with much teaching in the past has been that it divided education into lot of separate divisions whose interrelation- ship was never made clear to students.

Our State Parks

Many fears are still expressed that some of the state parks and forests will not be available for public use this summer and autumn. Work of rehabilitation in them has said to have been slow Most con- cern is felt for the seashore park at Ham, monassett Beach which probably attracts more people than any other recreational spot in Connecticut It suffered terribly from the hurricane of last September. A tremendous amount of money has been and must still be spent to restore it to it's former condition.
 All of which indicates clearly that If Connecticut is to continue the fine service it has been giving in recent years In ot- fering splendid parks and forests for the general use of all of us it must make provisions for continued development on a scale slightly higher than it has em- ployed in the past. One of the worst features of the state park and forest Sys- tenn has been it's failure to secure legisla- tive aid in making funds available. We don't know how far the state would have advanced if federal intervention in the past few years had not made both man. power and money available.
 Inere IS also CIle SuDJcCI ol pdlhAlS charges or admissions to be considered with regard to state parks and forests. Most legislators argue that these are public lands and should be that in all respects. Quite true. The public shouldn't be kept off the property which it actually owns But when the public demands improvement and services it either must pay for them with money raised through other means or by direct charges. Since the former means of securing financial aid is not practical, we are coming more and more to regard admission charges and parking tolls as the proper method.
 The hurricane damage makes consider ation of this problem doubly imperative. The money spent in rehabilitation will be properly charged against park and forest expenses. But it certainly should not be allowed to interfere with their future development and acquisition, which 1t certainly will if past practices of limiting this department to bare running expenses is continued
