Congress, Beware!

Whatever attitude the Congress of the United States converting in Washington today takes towards the European war, all patriotic people are agreed that that attitude must be dictated only by what seems best for the United States.
 Those who seek more or less active participation in the war on the side ot the British and French base their view on the feeling that if the Germans beat them the world will be uncomfortable and unsafe for American democracy.
 Those who seek to insure that the United States take no part in the war base their view on the feeling that Amer ican democracy is best served by preserv- ing it's strength and it's essence by keep ing as clear as possible of the whole thing.
 Either view sounds selfish. But what else is justified by the record of both sides since the World War? We were the goats in the World War of 1914, why be taken to the cleaners again? It's Europe's kettle of fish, not ours A European war, not a World war, unless we go in. Why go in? Keep it over in Europe.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-09-21

With the start of new school year one reads much about the education and discipline of children and older boys and girls Some are of the opinion that with all the newer and more improved educa- tional methods boys and girls were never more out of hand Perhaps this Is so, but more than likely this is not the fault of the educators but of the parents. Be- cause after all, placing children in the best of public and private schools does not mean that the parents task is com pleted An educator in western uni versity says: Children go amok be- cause parents want formula which will relieve them of responsibilities. He also stated that parents should not be too ambitious for their children In this respect we might say that the great ex- pectations of parents for their children should be under rather than over-empha- sized, and then there will be fewer disap- pointments all around. Pushing the child," says this educator, develops re- sistance that is hard to overcome" Which is quite true. On the other hand the parents should not go to the other extreme, for every child needs few good pushes.

BEATING THE BINGO LAW
(New Britain Herald)


 The grape vine service has 1t that quite a number of lawyers believe that the states new bingo law can be found unconstitutional. The req son is that it discriminates between organizations allowed to practice bingo. And the belief is being ex- pressed among the gentry of the bar that an early court test Is likely to arise.
 Which wouldn't surprise US in the slightest. A law is passed by 1egis- latures; but 1t usually takes a court test to determine whether the law is the real thing or a false alarm. Another attack is being made rela- tive to prizes. One way is to have cartons of cigarettes as prizes; and nearby there is a booth where the cigarettes can be sold for $1 each.
 Also the matter of bingo pro- moters. Are they out of business? We are not certain, having seen evidence that they are still in the Connecticut woods, with propositions designed to "get around" the new law. Of course, these propositions are devised under the guidance of lawyers.
 Lawyers in the Legislature not only have a leading hand in mak- ing laws, but outside they wield a wicked war club in beating them or finding them unconstitutional.

DIVERSIONS OF 1888
(New York Sun)

The United States Bureau of Pub lie Roads, in an analysis of the dis position of State gasoline tax re- ceipts in 1888, gives some interest ing footnotes. Last year number of States spent money derived from the gasoline tax in a number of ode ways. Arizona spent some for irrigation engineering expenses; Delaware some for ditching done by the Civilian Conservation Corps; Louisiana some for harbor improve ment: Pennsylvania some for land- ing fields for airplane; North Caro- lima some ,o- the State Probation Commission; South Dakota some for payment on real estate bonds. The aggregate of these expenditures was not large-some $4,600, 900 in all. For relief eight States spent $36,000,00o brought in by the gasoline tax for education seven States spent $3l. : COG, ,O0O of gasoline tax money. Di- version of tax receipts to the gen. eral fund brought the total amount of this tax money not spent for highway purposes to more than $121 ,O00, ,000.

U. s. Too Soft for Europe

The United States is still the home of relatively simple, trusting people, inclined to believe that black is black and white is white, and that when man or re- sponsible government says, q will," they will
 The European war is giving us quick education in international politics. Too quick, in fact, perhaps so quick that we cannot absorb it. The cynicism of the Russian regime in grabbing it's chunk of prostrate Poland before Germany gets it all, surpasses anything ever seen in the days of "imperialistic greed" The fact that Commissar Molotov explains the Soviets' sacred duty" to protect it's op- pressed minoritieS in Ukrainian and Byelo- Poland is cut from the same piece of cloth as Hitler's previous move to relieve 'op- pressed" German minorities in Czechoslo- vakia The phony enthusiasm" with which the Liberated" peoples in both countries greeted the invaders is the same in both cases; so is the excuse in each case that responsible government (having first been carefully undermined) did not exist
 The brutal facts are that Hitler decided to have what he wanted from Poland even if it cost a war. Russia, after sitting on the Sidelines until Poland was safely de- feated, bounced on the body like buz- gard to have her share. She did so, not only because it was cheap way to add to Soviet territory, but because she did not trust Hitler to make fair "divvy" of the spells, and because she distruStS seeing Germany grow too powerful on her verN borders By moving those borders vest ward she enlarged her own defense zone. This after years of loud assertion that she would instantly spring to the aid of any victim of aggression.
 This is all to be expected in a jackal civilization. But we must remember that a country that was capable of thus divid- B ing up with Germany helpless Poland is also quite capable of dividing up with Japan a beaten China. Russia already has all of Inner Mongolia. By taking the rest of western China it can hem in all of northern British India, ready to move in should social revolution strike this So- cially restless country. What more "All right, you take the China seacoast; we'll take the western interior; why fight each other?"
 Whereupon Japan will be free to boot out, finally and forever, all European and American interests in China. The Philip pines, to be freed in 1946, would be just about ripe for her. It is not too soon to begin asking, "Well, what part do we want to take in that game?"
 The United States, prone to be Sentl- mental, and to think of international affairs in terms of personal relations be- tween one honorable man and another, naked national self-intereSt as inter must learn to think of them in terms of preted by ruling cliques. That is the way the world is being run, and that is the world we have to face.
 Face it we must, but always with a thought for the better world that must emerge some day if there is to be any thing left of life at all If all the rest of the planet forgets that world-to-be, we must not forget it: the dream that some day there must be world in which decent men and women can live in freedom and in r,naca

Great weakness of the antis is that most of the senators or- dinarily hostile to anything emanating from Roosevelt are lined up with him regarding neutrality revision. Most of the Southern Old Guard is with him, and some insiders say he will even get one-haH of the Re- publican vote.
 NOTE-Although the isolation ists expect to get licked on the embargo issue, they believe they can upset Roosevelt's plan to wind up the session as soon as the neutrality act is revised. In this they expect the support of many Republicans and conservative Democrats who will oppose them on the embargo. However, Ad- ministration leaders have pledged a good many COP and anti New Deal leaders not to prolong the session. MERRY-GO-ROUND

MRS. w. F. c. TAKES EXCEPTION TO MIR. CIPRIANO'S ATTACK
 UPON MIR. AYOTTE
Sept. 20. 1889.

 Editor of The Democrat:
 In MT. s. Cipriano's letter of Sept. 20th he accuses MT. Ayotte of jump ing on Congressman Smiths throat with threatening gestures. Where Is his common sense? Of course Mir. Ayotte is speaking for the people of the Fifth District True. he didn't personally canvass our district, but he and a great many more people have talked about this War Situation. So nat urally he get their opinion of the subject.
 What mother, wife, sister or sweetheart wants to see their loved ones go to war!
 It's the right of all voters to voice their opinion to their Congressman (who they put in office) especially at time like this, when their loved ones might be called upon to take part in . war that has absolutely nothing to do with this country whatsoever.
 MT. Cipriano also mentions Father Coughlin as a number one baiterl II he would listen to and heed this wonderful character whom God has sent us he may change his mind abost war; that is if he has brothers who may be called upon to 60 E that terrible thing, WAR.

Selected Poem
THE STORM

THE STORM
 Daniel Whitehead Hicky in the New York Times) The night falls backer than a seahawk's feather Fast now the wind has torn the stubborn trees The moon is blown out and the sharpened weather Crying like frightened gulls dips to the seas. Bolt fast the door; latch close the clattering blind The sea will take the gate tonight, or more; Shelter the candle lest the moment find The room grown darker than the darkened shore. Now 1t is gone, the light! Now rolls the thunder Like granite mountains loosened from the sky: The lghtning's frantic tongue hcks over under The screaming night. O love, that you and Should pierce hearts with grief for words vain As one small leaf against the window panel

At the last moment, however, Representatives Earring ton Qowa); Holmes (Mass.) and Barnes (Ill.) succeeded in sneak ing him into their compartment, and hid him until the train got under way. Johnson spent the night on a bed improvised of SuitcaseS.
 SPECIAL SESSION
 You can put these down as good bets on the outcome of the special session:
 1. The arms embargo will be
 repealed and cash-and-carry
 provision substituted.
 2. The fight will be hot and
 wordy but there will be no fili-
 buster.
 3. The session will last long,
 CT than the month Roosevelt
 wants 1t to.
 While the small isolationist bloc in the Senate, where the deciding battle will be waged, will put up the best fight it can, privately its members admit they face hopeless odds. Their one hope is that some event abroad or some misstep of the Administration will so fright en the public as to prevent speedy action, and enable the antis to drag out the fight for months while they churn up sentiment against revision.
 Strategy of the isolationists will be to play for time. However, they have agreed secretly to lay off any outright filibuster. They reached this decision because O they haven't the strength to wage an effective filibuster:(2l they fear obstructive tactics will boom- erang against them.

THE FAIR IN 40
(Hartford Courant)

As the end of the first season of the New York Worlds Fair ap- breaches, 1t is clear that the emer- gency measures that were taken to increase attendance have been only partially successful. On Sunday, the eighteen millionth pair admis- sion was rung up on the machines: perhaps twelve million more are ex- pected before the Fair closes its season on the last day of October, making the probable total attend ance about half what had been prediceted. It is no secret that if the Fair is to salvage its own in- vestment as well as those of many of its exhibitors, it must reopen in 194O.
 The difficulties it faces in arrang- ing for the next season are not small. Some of the belligerent na- tions may wish to continue their exhibits as a matter of creating good, will in this country, but the expense is large and the relations between the management of the Fair and its foreign exhibitors have

was filled with screaming and shouting and the cries of the dying.
 Above all this pandemonium Emmanuel could hear the trickle of stream. He was suddenly thirsty and he wondered where the stream came from. Turning his head, he saw blood flowing in rivulet beside his arm. He realized now that he was lying among a heap of the slain. Over his head roared a vast tumult ...
 Was he dead, or dying? Em- manuel did not know. He had been hit, perhaps Or he had tainted and fallen.
 After a while the shouting stilled and the rifle fire died.
 Presently an officer stood over Emmanuel. The body that half covered Emmanuel was quivering The officer pointed his revol- yer and fired. The body shuddered and was still. Emmanuel dared not breathe.

not been wholly happy. It is known that some have already served mo- tice that they will not be back next year. The private exhibitors are al- ready talking about the concessions they will demand from the man. agement as the price of their return. If such demands were to have been expected whether the attendance had been up to expectations or not, thy have given the exhibitors an op- portunity to air what they regard as real grievances.
 It is plain that if the Fair is in operation next year, it will not be the same Fair that is scheduled to close on October 31. It may or may not be better, but many of the fea- lures of the present season will not be there.

 On either side of him were Em- manuel's friends and neighbors. They did not move. They stood transfixed by rifle points bearing down upon them. Over the entire assembly hung that same spell of bewitchsment, as though all nature stood still and all movement had ceased.
 A leaf from an elm tree along the wall. one of the last clinging co the bare branches, fluttered down to earth, before Emmanuel's eyes, like a butterfly settling upon a flower, breaking the spell.
 The commandant spoke.
 "Atesh" (Fire).
 The word was abrupt, incisiKe, like the quick explosion of rifle. Almost at the same instant the man on Emmanuel's right crumpled in a heap and a clap of thunder rolled across the valley. From the corner of his eyes, Emmanuel saw some of the men at the end of the line make a break for the valley.
 The commandant shouted another order, and as the Armenians began to run in every direction, the soldiers loaded and fired, at will, shouting and killing, firing shot after shot at the fleeing Armenians, firing volley after volley into the heap of slain and dying. The air

Unofficially, however, the move will serve as a silent but power full notice to Japan, indirectly also to the dictators of Europe. It will be similar to the sudden transfer of the fleet from the Atlantic to the Pacific last spring when the Danzig crisis first began to gel hot.
 For a week or so after Stalin and Hitler signed their alliance, the Far Eastern situation was in a state of flux. The alliance was 8 terrific blow to the Japanese, particularly to the military clique which rules Japan, and it looked as if the civilian group might get the upper hand and follow a more peaceful policy.
 But now the new friendship patched up by Hitler between Japan and Russia has removed Yany doubt of Japan's future bel z ligerency in China.
 On top of this, inside reports are that following their new truce with Russia, Tokyo's mili- tarists will head for the Dutch East Indies, wealthy source of oil, to British Hongkong and perhaps to French Indo-C China. With their fleets tied up in Europe, the French and British will be pow erless to head off Japan. That is the chief significance of the im- pending U. s. fleet movement. SPANKED "HAM"
 The storm of editorials in U. s. papers over Representative Ham" Fish's attempt to meddle in the European maelstrom was tame compared to the dressing down he got from other congressional dele gates to the Inter-Parliamentary Union meeting at Oslo.
 Fish cooked up his 30-day "war truce" scheme without saying a word about it to his colleagues. Stunned and sore at being put in a ludicrous light, they called the gangling New Yorker on the car- pet and demanded an explana- tion.
 "As chairman of this delega- tion," he retorted defiantly, "I didn't consider it necessary to consult anyone. And besides, I still think it is a good idea"
 "Well, we don't" parked back |. Representative Daniel A. Reed, a fellow upstate New York Re- publican. "It was silly, if you ask me, and has probably made us all a laughing stock in the paper back home. And if you think because you are chairman you are the dictator of this dele gation, you've got another think coming.
 we may be in Europe, but we are Americans and we don't 20 in for dictators. I'll have to ask you, in the name of the other delegates, to inform the Union tomorrow that you were speaking only for yourself on this screwy proposal of yours and not for the U. s. delega- tiOn."
 In the end Fish backed down and agreed to do as the delega- tion demanded.
 STRUGGLED CONGRESSMAN Another unreported episode of the Oslo junket was the narrow escape of Representative Noble Johnson of Indiana from being left behind in Germany. He had to be "smuggled" on to the train for Paris.
 Johnson had arrived at the Hamburg depot the day before the invasion of Poland, to find it
