afternoon. coffee and rolls right
fresh from the oven were put on
the table. along with delicious jam
and ice water, while she questioned
lis about our trip and insisted we
spend the night with them.
A Large Farm
There was plenty OF room for
us on the Olsen farm. or ranch.
1T was one Of those half and half
places; two thousand acres of
rangeland and two thousand acres
under cultivation. Ii was by far
the largest place of its kind we
had visited. Besides the operator
and his wife and the usual kitchen
help, there were ten hired men
needed to do the work. Used to the
small. but profitable, ranches of
western Washington. we were
aghast at the immensely of this
place as they showed us their line
up of equipment. Seven tractors,
four binders, three stackers. and,
of course, a big combine, besides a
huge amount of other farm ma
chinery. There were talks of fiji
teen-hundred-acre crops. and their
smallest single field of wheat was
over three hundred acres.
Besides crops from the land, they
had over hundred pigs, innumer-
able chickens, turkeys, guinea hens,
horses, cattle, some sheep. We
even found several bull snakes, but
they admitted they didn't raise
those. Whenever the source of in
come fell away from one crop, they
promptly turned to another for con-
oentration, and they assured us
that, while the drought and hard
. times had naturally effected them,
they were still in good shape and
were not worried much about the
future.

See America First

Now is good time for Americans to put
into practice the slogan of seeing America
first. Federal authorities have issued
warnings and advice to Americans to keep
out of Europe unless they have urgent
business over there. That advice should
be needed. It naturally will be accepted
by the great majority of Americans who
might be contemplating trips abroad at
this time of the year, but there will be
some who will feel that they have right
to regulate their own lives and are not
going to let European war interfere.
In such instances we can only point
out that the American who voluntarily
makes his nation responsible for unneces-
sary meddling with a war and all the
stringent conditions it imposes on many,
including neutrals, is not deserving of the
protection that will be hastily sought in
case of danger. To maintain neutrality
nations are bound to confine themselves
to definite activities within the zone of
actual warfare. The United States,
Therefore, is within its rights in putting
ban on European travel.
There is much to be seen on this side
of the Atlantic for those who crave ocean
travel. There are the long reaches of
the North and South American coasts to
be travelled. There is the mainland of
two hemispheres available. Let's be at our
best to aid our nation in preserving its
neutrality. Let no overt act of any citi-
zen imperil peace on this side of the globe.

What The Rest See

We don't doubt but what the toll prob
lem created by the Merritt Parkway is re-
garded entirely different in Fairfield
County than it is elsewhere throughout
the state. And with this in mind we try
to be as fair-minded as possible. But we
can't quite come around to the theory
that road in one county of the state is
peculiarly the property of that county
and not just as much the property of res
identS of other counties In short our
state highways belong to all of us.
Naturally Fairfield County may pay
more than other counties in tolls by vir-
tue of the fact that its residents will be
making greater use of the parkway than
those from more remote sections of the
state. But there will be just compensa-
tons for that in the benefits accruing to
Fairfield County from the location of the
parkway right across its most populous
section. But as for the county paying for
any system of parkways all over the state
that's not an exact statement of facts.
If the Legislature and other state off,
Gals intended the toll stations down near
Greenwich to remain there permanently
until a vast system of parkways had.
been created, then most Of us have been
misled The Bridgeport Times Star,
though, says: I'VE expect to see ourselves
paying tolls indefinitely for building

FALL COMES
(Hartford Courant)


Neither the almanac nor the
weatherman will admit it, but fall
came in as Labor Day went out
True, there is only a hint of
autumn in the foliage; the elms are
still green, though dusty, and ex-
cept for stray branch or SO even
the NAPLES are still in their sum-
mer foliage. None the less, fall has
come to New England, though both
the landscape and the thermometer
try to deny it.
The birds know It. Their house.
hold duties ended, they are gather
ing in flocks and practising for the
long flight that Is to come. They are
fatter now than they were a month
ago, for the young have learned to
fend for themselves, and their par
ents have had an opportunity to
store up energy In the only way a
bird knows, by eating its head off.
And just as instinct tells the birds
that fall is on them, so something
tells the young Of the human race
that summer is over; on Labor Day,
at least one touch football game
was in progress on a playground
that had known nothing but base
ball since the ground dried out last
spring.
Orinthologists puzzle over the cur
ious understanding of seasonal
changes the brides possess, but is 1t
any more curious than the unani-
nifty with which youth changes from
sport to sport as the year progress
es?
The trees are still green, the corn
stands unripened In the fields, but
fall has begun. The birds and the
boys know 1t, and that is enough.

Mississippi Industrialized

The movement of manufacturing in
dustries toward the south has been a
notable feature of recent years. It has
been going on in a natural manner for
20 years, but during the past five it has
been artificially stimulated until it is
now factor in national production, and
a mark of the change in the regional
setup in the country. Mississippi, ira
ditionally an agricultural state, last year
actually produced manufactured prod
ucts whose value exceeded that of its
farm products.
1t has done this without developing any
great industrial cities. The industries
which have developed have sprung up in
small towns, usually at places where raw
materials could be processed on the
ground. The face of the country and its
regional characteristics are changing be-
fore our very eyes, and as usually is the
case in such things, the changes will
probably be largely accomplished before
we realize it.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-09-08
War Pro6teering

The President in addressing the nation
the other night stressed the fact that this
was no time for profiteering. AS yet there
is no direct evidence that signs of pro-
f1teering will be found anywhere, but
there's always the suspicion that some
people will seize on the opportunity to
advance prices on the general theory that
any war which comes close to being of
world proportions is seriously affecting
the retail market. AS a matter of fact we
aren't vitality affected by the war as yet.
Right now our cue is to act as Sensibly
about the war as we possibly can under
the circumstances. This is not an occa-
sion for making great profits at the ex-
pense of human suffering over in Europe
We should not be willing to make capital
of the national differences of the Euro
pean nations. We don't know at what
date we may be plunged into the holo-
cauSt ourselves and if that day comes all
the financial coupS we may have engi-
neered prior will be of little use to us.
Going hand in hand with any criticism
about profiteering is the advice to house
holders not to start to stock up on various
staples. Feeling that an advance in food
prices is inevitable many people start i'm
mediately to lay in far more supplies than
they can use in reasonable time, the OBJ
vious purpose being to hoard up such
commodities until the day comes when
they are so scarce as to be almost impos-
sible to obtain. American housewives can
cause profiteering by such tactics as this.
Avoid them if possible.

Is NUTMEGGIA's FACE RED?
(Meriden Journal)

We mustn't erect interstate tariff
barriers. Such action is against the
Constitution, in addition to being
contrary to the welfare and COM
merce of the nation as a whole. But
some backward states are doing 1t.
Not Connecticut, of course, because
we were duly Mortified over New
York City's attempt to punish its
citizens who brought in lower-taxed
cigarettes from Jersey.
Fairfield Counties chuckle, es-
pecially the Bridgeport Telegram.
How about that Connecticut law
which makes it illegal for a man
from Nutmeggia to buy a bottle of
wine In New York, take It into his
car and drive into Connecticut with
1t? The citizen could be arrested for
transporting under our state law
just as he was in the dear old days
of Prohibition. Perhaps the price and
tax differential no longer exist in
such case and, therefore, there
may be no great need of enforce
ment. But the tariff barrier is there
just the same and citizen can be
claimed guilty in 1889 of rum-run-
ming on the Boston Post Road.
State trade barriers are making
trouble. In these days Of money
woes, and now even municipalities
are getting the bug to establish re-
strictionS on free trade.

A DOT ON THE MAP

down bombs on many, Is too grim.

Did We Learn Anything?

eve learn from history that we learn
nothing from history" Cynical thinking!
But never mind the cynicism. Is it cor
rect thinking? We are going to find
out. Once again, the United States IS
faced with the heavy task of trying to
remain out of a widespread European
war. AS in 1914, the great majority OF
the American people want none OF 1t.
They feel instinctively that the age-old
hatreds which underly all Europe's wars
are alien to us; that they are something
we have been trying to get away from
for generations. But like skeletons in
the closet of our past, they will not let
us be.
It is true that American feeling is much
stronger than in 1914. Then, most Amer
leans were genuinely indifferent to the
bloody brawlS of Europe. Now we are
not indifferent. We cannot be. That
works to the disadvantage of the effort
to stay clear. Against it we must set the
advantage that we know more OF what
underlies these wars; we know more of
the deliberate efforts that are made to
embroil us. We have the war debt; in
1888 we admitted 182,946 World War
veterans to disqualification, half of them
neuro-psychiatric. We have not forgot
ten our 10000 battle dead, our 10000
dead of wounds and disease.
AS the President has pointed out, we
must try resolutely to draw line be-
tween what we think and what we ask
our government to do. We must look
Skeptically at every effort to rouse pas
sion and hatred, and calmly and even
coldly consider what is best for us. Thus,
it seems clear that Anthony DreXel Bid
die, Philadelphia Socialite, who hap
pens at the moment to be the U. S.
ambassador to Poland, has done his coun-
try no great service in implying that
German aviators bombing Warsaw were
practically aiming at him.
1t seems that several bombs were
dropped near Biddle's summer home in
the Warsaw suburbs, damaging the house.
Biddle was quoted as saying that the
attack was deliberate" If by that he
means that the German aviatorS took
pains to inform themselves of the loca-
ton of the Biddle home, and then aimed
their bombs at it with special intent to
kill the American ambassador, then the
only answer is that any such idea is
fantastic. In the first place, we might
as well recognize once for all that a
bombing pilot, harassed by anti-aircraft
fire, can never be sure within a matter
Of three city blocks just what his bomb is
going to hit. The hellish part of air
bombing is not that the aviators coldly
choose hospitals and old ladies' homes for
their targets, but simply that when the
bomb drops they have only the vaguest
idea of where it will fall.
1t is not the deliberate choice of defense
less targets, but the sheer abandoned
reckleSSneSS of bombing that makes its
horror. The United States has the right
to expect from its official diplomatic
representatives special wariness against
thoughtless accusation and inflammatory
talk in general. The wariness is duty
which every American ought to impose on
himself But it is duty which the gov
eminent must impose on all those who Off
cially represent it.

buildings. On height overlooking
the bay stands a castle that was
formerly the residence of the Duke
Of Pomerania. There is not much
else of interest there. But to the
Polish heart Puck is one of the
most inspiring names in history.
1t was in 1852 that the decisive
victory of Puck made Poland q
great Power. This pitched battle
ended a confused war of raids and
skirmishes carried on for twelve
years by Casimir w against the
Teutonic knights. 1t drove them
finally beyond the Vistula and gave
Poland a seaboard. Until then the
Teutonic knights had been one of
the strongest military organizations
in Europe, constant menace to the
loose and feeble Kingdom of Poland.
After the battle Of Puck they could
no longer check the rise of great
confederation. The conflict turned
a new and brighter page in Polish
history. In recapturing Puck, even
If only mamentarily, the Poles read
that ancient page and no doubt
gain fresh courage.

MORGAN INFLUENCE

eraman, land we are waiting for
somebody to Shoot"
MORGAN INFLUENCE
Speaking of the House of Nor.
gan, it is always healthy during a
major crisis to examine the his
tory of past crises.
The history Of the last war,
for instance, shows that j. p.
Morgan g. Co., acted as purchas-
ing agent for France and Great
Britain, receiving per cent
commission on all purchases,
which came to $50, 100000 profit
on the Allies. $4,000, 100000 of
war orders.
Morgan profits badly
amounted to considerably more
for handling British and French
loans in this country. Particularly
interesting was the revelation of
the Senate Munitions Committee
that Morgan's had placed British
and French stocks and bonds with
the U. S. Treasury as collateral
for loans of 1894 600, 900 to the
British and $200,000,000 to the
French.
With this collateral behind them,
these loans were sound. However,
after the Armistice, J. P. Nor
gan urged that the collateral be
waived and returned. Carter
Glass, then secretary of the treas
ury acquiesced. The collateral on
$494 100000 of war debts was re-
turned, and the major portion of
the French and British debts is
still in default.
Thus was the power Of J. p.
Morgan in the last war. Arriv-
