Liability, Not Asset

The Town of Westport declares that the state park on Sherwood Island is a liability rather than an asset and seeks a direct grant to make up for a decrease in the towns grand list. Town officials are even declaring that the state park occupies the most valuable land in the township, all of which doesn't seem to be exactly complimentary to the many property owners in Westport who regard their own land as worth something and not exactly undeveloped.
 There is no reason why Westport should be recompenSed for any loss of taxes due to removal of land from the grand list. The same thing has happened in many towns throughout Connecticut where there is State-owned property. We doubt very much if Westport property adjoining the state park will be decreased in property valuation. It hasn't always worked out that way where the state has stepped in to develop land for recrea- tional purposes. And there is always the gain in the influx of potential customers for local business.
 Many of the smaller towns of the state feel aegrieved when land is taken from them for public purposes. But we have never vet seen it fail that eventually the protests have dwindled away to nothing. After all the smaller town is better off in some respects than the big city. New Haven is a good example. It feels that Yale University, heavy taxpayer, should make up for property it removes from the grand list. Others contend that the presence of the huge university is suf- ficient recompense for tax exemptions In a minor degree this is true, too, in towns where the state does some de- veloping.
 If the state started to make direct grants every time it developed a park or built a hospital it would go bankrupt and all such praiseworthy services would be curtailed. They should be encouraged by as much cooperation as is possible.

On Dangerous Ground

Wien the Rev. Leon M. Birkhead, national director of the Friends of Democracy, told members of the Progress sive Education Association, last week that the Rev. Charles E. Coughlin was a national menace" he left himself open to wide criticism. Not that an assault on Father Coughlin is not to be thought of, but the reverend gentleman showed himself no different than a good many others who choose to break lances with the celebrated radio-priest. Many take exception to his remarks, but only a scattering few, very few, have ever punctured these remarks. The truth of most of them still stands and will stand, for truth is not downed by cries of "false prophet" etc.
 Coughlin's information is coming from Germany. That in itself is far from damning, even if it were true, which we nor the Rev. MT. Birkhead don't know is true. The speaker also says that Father Coughlin seeks to destroy the very foun- dations of representative government" That's the last thing that he does seek to do and anyone who has followed the course of his remarks down through the last few years certainly knows that. If there is one thing that Father Coughlin has fought for it is the rights of the peo- pie to have voice in their own govern ment.
 This nation has not had its ills and those of the world diagnosed so minutely or openly as they are today by the radio priest. None of us likes to claim to be heir to any of the frailties of the human flesh, but they're there and we might as well admit them. A frank confession is good for the soul. If we disagree with some of the things that Father Coughlin says, that is only natural. But when we claim him to be a national menace or criticize in like vein, we only prove that he is actually hitting home, getting down to poor foundations that need scrapping and resetting.

some of the accommodations that are now demanded.
 If such alterations were predicated solely on the fact that the conspiracy trial, now in progress, has taxed the buildings capacity, 1t might be argued that this is something unusual and per- haps not likely to occur again in this generation or succeeding ones. Hence once the conspiracy trial would end, the courthouse would resume its normal at mosphere and present cramped quarters would stretch out to their customary size. But obviously this isn't the case, for the demand for certain structural changes came even before the conspiracy trial was brought here.
 The mere fact that the local county courthouse was objected to by the prose- cution only further confirmed the opin- ion of local lawyers and judges that the Kendrick Avenue building had outgrown itself It might be well for the county legislators to acquaint themselves with the local situation before they turn down a request for increased facilities here. This is not demand made for sudden emergency. It is a carefully thought-out' plan by men who are familiar with the situation today and realize what it will be next year and in ensuing years. It should not be turned down because it looms as possible county debt

Call For Cooperation

The frank statement of Secretary of Commerce Harry Hopkins, in his Des Moines address to the nations business men, should help to restore confidence in private enterprise. That is obviously the country's great need-confidence in the continuance and increase of private profit under the capitalist system, ex- pressed by the investment of billions in heavy industries, housing, railroads and other business fields crying for capital.
 The most alarming symptom of the present situation, as MT. Hopkins says, is the 10,000000 unemployed. They are not only unfortunate themselves, but a drag on our general prosperity. While there is so much unemployment of men there is an equivalent unemployment of money. Our capitalism is rusting itself out in idleness. If the system we have known and trusted is to continue, it must be started on big forward move ment again, and started soon.
 The government is obviously making a conciliatory gesture to business. Indus try, commerce and finance seem also in a mood of conciliation. The miscella- neous public in between feels that this is almost a matter of life and death, more pressing than our foreign problems.

 COLONEL HARRINGTON
 Colonel F. c. Harrington may be WPA administrator and the Big Boss" of more than 3,000,- 900 relief workers, but he Is also an officer of the Regular Army and not inclined to forget 1t.
 Whenever the head man at wPA wants to take a couple of days off, he calls up the War Depart ment and, as Colonel Harring. ton," requests official leave".
 Incidentally, Harrington draws down $5,400 annual pay, plus cer- tain perquisites as an army col- onel. His assistants draw any, anywhere from S7,900 to 5000.
 WPA officials report . marked change in Harrington's de- meanor since his appointment as administrator. Previously, as
 chief engineer, he was polite but stiff1y formal. Now that he is boss, Harrington has dropped
 much of his army-trained re. serve, is more friendly with his colleagues.

The County Courthouse

No one knows better the shortcomings of the local county courthouse building than those who frequent it the most. Waterbury lawyers, as represented by the local Bar Association, are agreed that the business of the courts that are housed in the Kendrick Avenue structure is no longer able to function as efficiently as it could some years back. This may be explained by the increase in the amount of law transactions requiring civil trials, as well as criminal proce- dures. The time has come to expand the present quarters and to provide for

Army engineers want Congress to allot them some $12,000,000 to make the Con- necticut River navigable between Hart ford and Holyoke. This sum would also enable them to construct hydro-sl slectric power dam at Enfield Rapids All of been long before the bubbles eye. For years we've been hearing and reading about the project of making he Con- necticut River navigable above Hartford. There have been surveys and more sur veys. Every so often you near that the job isn't feasible. Then the next thing you read is that the job is going to be started if funds can be found to finance 1t. Now the latest announcement is with us. We won't believe that anything will be actually done to make the stream navigable until something has been done about flood control in the Connecticut River Valley.

 Another bill struck a snag In the bank committee over Q week ago, when the writer suggested to the committee that certain contentious made at the hearing might lead to a delay in building low-rent hous- ing projects. The bank committee suggested to the housing authorities that . subcommittee be appointed to confer with the bank depart- ment and bring in 6 substitute bin that would provide for Housing Aus thority bonds as legal investments.
 It would seem as though the housing authorities could have used more care in framing the bills that they presented to the legislature.

Have the State Senate and House taken any action on the favorable re- port of the judiciary committee on bill creating two additional judgeships in the Superior Court? We haven't read that the bill has come up before either House after the committees report was received. Creation of these two judgeships is very desirable, particularly so today when the docket of every Superior Court in the state is piled high and the judges are striving to clear them in the brief time allotted for sessions. What with one judge permanently assigned to the Waterbury case, it is all the harder to carry on normal assignments.
