the United States releases the islands, she will have to be ready to see Japan take over, and make no protest; otherwise trouble is certain. As for the Filipinos themselves. the writer declares that they do not really wish to be free from the U. S., but that they have sought independ- ence so long that graceful about face is dificult.
 Stating that "our flag over ter ritory-if other nations know we ar. not fooling and will back 1t lip-- has greater effectiveness than cannon, 2 Courtney recommends outright an- nexation and probably evental state hood for the Philippines as the best way to avoid trouble over the terri tory, and the most practical form of defense from attack.
 Courtney quoted a Japanese pulp fisher in Tokyo as saying, Most Japanese will agree with me that by holding the Philippines America can guarantee the peace of the Pa cific for generations to come"

YOUNG YANKEES
 SHOW INGENUITY.
Six Successful Young Men in Various Enterprises
 to Discuss Plans

| York Harbor, Me, June 23.-That
 New England is still Hand of op-
 portunity" for youth with initiative
 and resourcefulness will be demon
 strated here at the Marshall House
 Saturday morning during the session
 of the 55th quarterly meeting of the
 New England Council by six ingeni-
 ous young Yankees who have estab-
 lished profitable business enterprises since the beginning of the depres- sion.
 With Professor Erwin H. Schell,
 business and engineering adviser at Massachusetts Institute of Technol- ogy, acting as friendly interlocutor,
 the six young men representing five New England states will outline to New England business men their recipes for Success"
 The young men, who will partici- pate in a panel discussion entitled, "New England Land of Opportun- ! ity," are expected to provide con- elusive answer to the oft repeated statement that Americas youth lack initiative and enterprise, for their diverse enterprises range from rais- ing cattle to book publishing, from operating grocery stores to building boats, and from digging peat moss to making electric games.
 Selected after an investigation covering the careers of dozens of young New Englanders, the young men selected for their achievements are Eric w. Kelley, Jonesport, Me, operator of peat fields; James M. Prentice of New Hampshire, manu- facturer of electric games in Hol- yoke, Mass; John Hooper, Brattle- boro, Vt., book publisher; Herbert o. Robinson, Medford, Mass, grocer; Douglas w. Forrest, Spencer, Mass, beef raiser; and Henry Palmer, Jr., Stonington, Conn, boat builder.

Annexation Is Urged
 For The Philippines
War With Japan More Likely Wittl U. s. If Given Up
 Than Retained as an Industrial State

New York, June 23-The United States is far more likely to get into war with Japan over the Philippines if she gives them up than if she holds them, according to w. B. Courtney, associate editor of Col Hers, who urges anneXation of the islands following an extensive sur vey in which he interviewed diplo- matic, economic and military lead CTS both in the United States and in Asia.
 Courtneys survey of the economic potentialities of the Philippines, re- gently completed, points the way to complete self-sufficiency for the United States. Avoiding any discus sion of the political aspect of Philip pine independence, Courtney con- fined himself to quoting the opin- ion of responsible authorities that the natural resources of the islands sare adequate in all save one ele- ment--tin--to supply the whole needs of the United States in case of wars, long or short, independent of world raw-material markets"
 Among the natural resources which at present are being exploit ed are vast forests containing some of the worlds most valuable hard wood, coconut plantations, and Ma nila hemp, which gives the islands a monopoly on the worlds supply of rope. Many Americans have be- come fabulously wealthy through two major activities mining and trading in real estate.
 Mining engineers estimate that the Philippines are capable of pro- ducing more gold than any other territory of similar size in the world Claims have been staked in nearly every one of the 48 Philippine pro- vinces, but no attempt has been made to work all the claims. Court reports that the mining industry suffers from over-production and lack ot capital and manpower.
 An economist on the staff of one of the government officers declared that cultivation of rubber and Qui- nine, both of which are quite fea- sible in the islands, could break the British and Dutch monopolies of those substances. Production of iron and manganese is growing rap idly, the economist stated, land Japan takes all of both.g At the rate the manganese production is going up, in another few years, the Phil ippines will be supplying all of Japan's requirements"
 In addition to these metals, there are abundant fields of copper, as- bestos, chromite, lead platinum, zinc and oil. Full exploitation and devel- opment of all the islands resources, Courtney believes, is being hindered by the uncertainty about the polii- cal destiny of the territory.
 With regard to the question of in Courtney states that if

STATES HAY CROP
 BELOW ESTIMATES
Dry Weather Causes Seri- ous Shortage = Higher Prices Loom For Winter

Storrs, June 23.-Dry weather has cut Connecticuts hay crop this year to approximately 20 per cent of nor nal, J. s. Owens, extension agron- omist at Connecticut State College, estimated today, in statement urg- ing farmers to plant additional corn and annual forage crops to make up some of the deficiency.
 Even in normal years Connecti- cut does mot harvest enough hay to supply the states needs, MT Owens said. This year the drought which has reduced the Connecti- cut crop has also affected New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania and the entire New England area, with the result that hay will be scarce anc
 expensive throughout the regiox
 where Connecticut farmers may look for supplies next winter.
 Hay of good quality could be pur- chased last winter at SIS to $20 6 ton, delivered in Connecticut. Il is certain to be much higher than that next winter, MT. Owens warn. ed.
 The best methods to overcome the shortage, in part at least, are tc plant corn for silage and to plant annual forage crops such as soy beans or millet, MT. Owens said. Al these crops can be planted as late as July l in Connecticut.
 Soybeans and millet planted to. gether can either be chopped up fol silage or cured in the field anc stored dry as hay. Soybeans plant | ed alone can also be used as hay or can be mixed with molasses ol corn for storage in Silos.
 Besides reducing the hay crop tht drought has seriously affected pas ture growth, the agronomist point. ed out. The shortage of green feet will force dairy farmers to feed hay this summer, further reducing theil supply for winter feeding. Unles! there is heavy rainfall in July pros. poets of midsummer pasture ane | for a good second crop of hay vii be very poor, MT. Owens said. Millet, barley and rye may bt planted for pasture uses. Millet may be seeded for this purpose up to tht middle of July. From the middle o1
 July to the first of September bar. ley is recommended. After Septem'
 Der first rye is the only dependable crop for late fall pasture.

REMUNERATION
BY THE MAN IN THE TOWER

 The cottage that looked gloomy last winter Is just now looking its best, All fixed up with curtains and paint And just the place for a summer rest The old red barn with paint peeling In which you wouldn't leave horse, Has been all slicked up cute and nice Where dinner is ordered by the course. The old boat house few months ago Looked pretty dilapidated, but A jitterbug band plays there every week And all the boys and girls strut The hot dog eaterie that had sagged And looked to be on its last legs, Has come to life and this June They serve you beer out of kegs. Oh, another season changes all, And there's nothing like daub of paiat To many many places look just like Something that they ain't.

 Outright spending would cover those. activities which, while cul- turally, socially, industrially are wise, are nevertheless not true in- vestmentS. That is, those enter prises conducted by the govern ment which, while good invest ments" in the morals, health and peace of the people, nevertheless are not of such character that the money expended will ever come back to the government. Con- servation, educational, health ac- tivities are of this sort. Such spend- ing should be paid for entirely out of eax revenues.

 Government investments include such activities as contemplate tht recovery by the government of the money expended.
 A housing enterprise in which the cost of the house and the op- erating costs are so arranged that the rents will recover them fol the government, is an investment It is entirely proper for the gov ernment to borrow money for the purpose of building such houses

Do you remember When there were few milkmen in Waterbury that you sometimes had to go to the barns where the cows were milked for your daily supply? About 50 years ago those COW barns located in every section of the city Remember Brennans up Brennan Place, Allman's on Bergn Street near Pine Hill, McDonald's in the Brooklyn section. Do you remember when you were young ster it nothing but kerosene lamps? The old oil with the potato stuck in its mouth piece to avoid spilling? Then there the trimming of wicks and cleaning lamp chimneys every day. What a job that was!

taxes should be abolished. A few are defensible wheer the tax iss designed to render a government service to the special taxpayer. as in the case of gasoline taxes where the money is used entirely on roads. But otherwise all such taxes should be ended
 The government should shift to a universal income tax as swiftly as possible. In levying this tax the rates on individuals and cor porations should, as far as possi- ble, be made, equal. At present, the large corporations enjoy an advantage over individuals.
 As for the undistributed profits tax, the present tax is meaning less. A sound undistributed profits tax on corporations is all right, but the presetn tax is not sound. It is just to no one.
