Democrats In Session

The convention opening in Hartford
tonight marks an important epoch In
Democratic history in this state. II Is
unique in that at this spring session,
normally given over TO the naming OF
delegates to attend the national conyen-
ton Of the party, there will also be addi-
tional work the nomination OF the
candidate for the United States Senate.
II is generally agreed that Senator Fran
els T. Maloney will be named TO succeed
himself. The party Is not at odds with
Its present member OF the Senate and
will undoubtedly give him rousing vote
OF reclamation.
In the designation OF delegates TO the
national convention the party may be
participating In political history, for 1t
seems inevitable right now that when the
Democrats meet at Chicago in July they
will rename Franklin D. Roosevelt as their
candidate for the unheard OF third term.
And II he Is renominated II almost seems
certain that he will be reelected. Only
one thing might interfere with this TAX
ing place That would be complete
rout OF English and French resistance In
Europe and the successful conquest Of
London and Paris by Nazi hosts.
With Germany debating terms to both
Britain and France there might be a
surge OF feeling against the Roosevelt
pro-Aly attitude that Is so marked to-
day. And II this came before the Demo.
cratic national convention there might
be marked unwillingness on the part of
the delegates to take chance on the
President again But with the war con-
tinuing and the Nazis not succeeding In
their present aims, 1t looks like Roose.

Persons interested In the population
growth of the City OF Waterbury are
convinced that the delay In announcing
the figures for 1910 indicates that we
have not climbed into the 100000 class.
On the other hand we have talked to peo-
pie who are just as convinced that the
figures are not available because they are
being subjected to minute scrutiny so
that when the 100,0 900 mark Is announced
there'l be no counter-claims.
The fact OF the matter Is, though, that
no cities in the 100000 class have as yet
been announced anywhere in the nation.
They couldn't because Of the routine In
spection OF records and complete check
ups that must be made at Washington
before the figures are really official. Ten
years ago II was announced soon after
the census had been completed here that
the ctys population was well over the
100000 mark
But when the officials down at Wash
ington had completed their double-check
of the local situation, VIC were back be-
low the 100000 mark and there was moth

say that the next time would be differ

Europe has alarmed the existing regime
In almost every country, while giving
new heart 10 all pro-Nazl, pro-Fascist and
pro-Falangist elements, now strangely
cooperating with the Communists. Thus
the united protest Of the American coun-
tries against the Lowland invasion Is I'M
portant in giving one more evidence OF
the Americas determination TO stick to-
gether against influences which might
some day menace them from abroad, and
which are already at work to undermine
them at home.

After listening TO the storm Of criticism
and abuse that has been heaped on dog
racing In this country, particularly, as 1t
was conducted In the neighboring state
OF Massachusetts, we marvel at this ex-
preston OF opinion from across the water.
In the House Of Commons the other day
Minister for Home Security John Ander-
son said that the war would not result In
ban on dog-raclng, because England
considered this form OF sport necessary

New England tried to squeeze through
It's flood control program In the House
this week on the grounds that any ma
tional defense program would not be
complete without making provisions for
controlling rivers. But the House just
couldn't see 1t that way and the pro-
vision was eliminated. Thus goes glim-
mering once more any attempt we might
make towards eliminating the conditions
that are so bad In the Connecticut River
Valley every spring II Is noticeable,
though, that Representative J. Joseph
Smith Is one of several New England leg
lslators who will endeayor TO work the
flood control funds Into some other bill
that will require federal funds for flnanc-
ing. If Congress doesn't think flood
control Is part of our national defense,
it may not eventually think an awful lot
about throwing up any sort OF defense IN
this section OF the nation. And that's

Nobody in Germany Is going 10 pay
much attention TO the united protest OF
the 81 American nations against the in
vasion Of the Low Countries. Though the
Americas with one voice denounced the
invasion as "unjustifiable and cruel"
and called for establishment of law
and justice among nations, nobody can
expect Hitler TO be much impressed at
a moment when he Is Shooting the
works" in make-o break military effort.
That does not mean, however that the
American protest Is meaningless. 1t Is
highly significant.
Franklin wryly told his co-sgners OF
the Declaration Of Independence that
they'd better hang together or they'd
assuredly hang separately later on. That's
the way the American countries are be-
ginning to feel about the expansion Of
totalitarianlsm in Europe. The coun-
tries TO the south have even more reason
than the United States TO be conscious
OF possible future danger and OF present
local interference by sympathizers with
foreign systems.
