than right now when it is needed the most. Your local merchant is a true baromter of the way conditions are going in community. When he pros- pers, the town goes along with him. When conditions are bad he suffers with the rest of us. And that brings up an inter- esting point right now.
 The amount of money that is spent outside of Waterbury in the course of year is surprisingly large one. If this money were kept in Waterbury, it would mean that not only would our local mer- chants reap the benefit of this added spending but so would their employees and through them an endless round of other businesses and their employees. In short the entire city benefits by money spent in its own community, where it is promptly put to work to keep the wheels of many businesses running smoothly
 That's one reason why he hates to see our city government going out of town to secure something that could be done just as well here and the few dollars saved by going thirty miles from home would in the long run mean just that much more to the city itself. With no other motive than participating in the trade in Waterbury campaign we urge that someone recollect that money spent at home for city printing goes into the homes of local printers and pressmen who'll buy their food, clothing, and other necessities, as well as, pay their taxes in Waterbury.

Glass Houses

The first house entirely built of glass has been set up at the Jew York Fair. Literally, it may be true. But we all live in glass houses, in spite of our delight in throwing stones. That goes for nations, as well as for individuals.
 We toss verbal stones at the totalitar- ian countries because they have no lib- erty. But have all Americans complete liberty? Few would argue that they have, and that is our glass house. The British deplore Japanese blockade of their conces- sions in China But how did they get those concessions in the first place? That is their glass house.
 William Green of the A. F. of L. and John Lewis of the c. I. O. exchange verbal brickbats, but are there no elements of glass in the house of either? Fewer brick bats flying through the air today would be help on every front, international, national, and personal. The barrage would decrease if every brick-tosser would first look over his own house for vulner- able clements of glass;

leave more trace of their passing The hay has been cut for Son,a weeks, and almost before you know 1t gnat-swarms will swim above the stubble in the soft biurring haze of autumn. The hayers nave cleaned most of the blueberries out of the moving lot along with the grass, and those growing by the sides of the road are pretty dusty, but farther back in the pasture swamp the scraggly huckleberry bushes should be just about loaded with fruit. These, of course. arc harder to reach. Unless you like the brush you had better leave their harvest to the towhees. Blackberries too are soaking up the sun and growing more fat and luscious every day. Spite of briars. some will have to be picked, even though they leave your hands discolered for the rest of the day.
 One advantage of the country is that there's always so much to be done you just don't have the time to notice the calendar or grow rest less. By the time you've got most of the canning over with, crickets will be singing round the doorstep and oak leaves will be falling red and yellow along the wall.

It looks as if the Hartford Times sort of agrees with what The Democrat had to say week or so ago about our new controller. In answer to what we thought was very unfair blast at Controller Mar tin Sweeney but few hours after he had taken the oath of office the Water bury American Republican took him to task editorially and in cartoon form as; as Il hold-over Q! ! M from Mayor Hayes regime; entitled to be judged on his own merits, not somebody else's. Says The Times: "Mr. Sweeney would appear to be entitled to his chance. He worked for eight years in the controllers office unde- MT. Leary in a minor capacity. That does not prove him to be untrustworthy or incapable. Certainly under the situation which pre- vails in Waterbury it would be quite as foolhardy as it would be immoral for any person to undertake public service there with any intentions to serve other than faithfully"

horse would drop immediately. Also the public would know that a sizeable amount of cash had been placed on that horse, the "fix" would leak out, and the winners take would be smaller. CONCEALING THE BET
 So the betting is done not at the track, but away from the track, through the thousands of bookie establishments which the Annenberg racetrack service has helped make possible.
 Take, for example, an actual race which was fixed last vim ter. It was pulled by . big syndicate which fixes about ten races . year, spends several weeks and uses the utmost care in preparing each fix. In this race, the syndicate approached the owners of the most prom ising horses, and offered to give each . $500 bet on the winner if their jockeys trailed the win- ner. The horse they selected would usually be . 10 to l shot.
 Then. having fixed the race, the problem was to distribute the bets without the rest of the gambling

NEW DEAL SEEN AS SOLE HOPE FOR BUSINESS
 RECOVERY
Editor, Waterbury Democrat:

Editor, Waterbury Democrat: Remember all the talk about the need for "appeasing" business a few months ago? The argument was that if congress would scuttle the new deal program, big business would gain confidence and recovery would surge ahead.
 Well, it's hardly @ week that the most reactionary big business minded congress has adjourned and already hints are beginning to come from the National Association of Manufacturers that there isn't going to be any recovery movement.
 Avery Coonley. president of the N. A. M., says that congreaG did some gooc work but that .t didn't go far enough; that business won't really regain confidence until ct least the National Labor Rela tiOns Act is put out Of commission.
 Big business reacts to apre:sc- ment the Snrne way as Hitter. One concession wtcts its appetite for nn- other. The wrecking work of the tories at this session has encouraged the N. A. M. to press for fresh destruction cf New Deal ineasures at the next session.
 The big thing that vas holding business back 6 few months ago, acc cording to the handouts of the N. A. M.. the Chamb:: of Commerce and similar outfits of congress a and similar outfits, was the capital gains tax Id the corporate sur- plus tax. The reactionaries of con- gress obliged by giving big busi- ness what it wanted.
 When the question of relief was before congress, the master minds of economy argued that heavy ex- penditures would retard business. Those discharged from the rolls. they said, would be absorbed by the resulting recovery. They won their point. WPA was curtailed drastical- ly and practically wrecked in the process.
 Then President Roosevelt pro- posed $3.060, ,000, 900 public works program of self liquidating loans combined with an $500, 900 900 for loans for low cost housing. The purpose was to stimulate recovery by providing employment and by aiding business through new orders. I Again the -eactionaries in congress maintained that business would be frightened. and again they won out. The president said congress gam- bled with the security and prosperity of the American people on the hope that private business would pick up the slack caused by the defeat of the New Deal recovery program. Indications since congress adjourn cd show that the people are going to lose the gamble.
 The stock market has begun e steady decline and it 6 followed by an extremely interesting admss- sion from the confidential Kiplinger letter for big business which says that the president was probably

In Today's Mail

right in warning about the conse- quence of the defeat of his recovery program.
 "Next spring will come the effect of the lack of new spending, re- sulting from frilure of spend lend bills" the Kiplinger letter says. That's the worry period. That's the time when government additions to purchasing power may diminish, may contribute to a recession. Many analysts think 1t will happen"
 And finally comes President Cooii- ley of the N. A. M. warning against "over- emphasis" on what congress has done for big business-holding out for further demands at the next session.
 It becomes plain from all this that no recovery. out economic dis- aster lies on the road advocated by the reactionaries. This k the logical objective of the conspiracy coalition of Ca-nercratS and Republicans whose sole Ain, !s to speed up . new and deeper crisis SO as to furnish what they consider the necessary conditions to defeat Roosevelt In 194O.
 However, the 76th congress has brought clarity to the people as to who are their enemies. The Repub- ,icar party Is still headquarters of reaction. The Garner wing of the Democratic party has become its open ally. The job of the people is to pay the closest attention to the coming municipal elections. Every- where unity of the people, of labor and progressives on the basis of sup- port of the New Deal to defeat the big business dominated tory coali- ton must be organized.
 In our own city. the need for such movement Is very obvious. The political life of Waterbury has too long been dominated by unconcern for the welfare of the people. Our people want and need on @ local scale a duplicate of the New Deal. The basis for such a movement is here and our people will certainly support 1t.
