The Americas March Together

By the Act of Havana, the 21 free nations of the New World unanimously agree that no part of that world is to be the pawn of power politics in other con- tinents. Practical means of preventing it are set up. This is the Monroe Doc Urine glorified What the United States once proclaimed as it's own policy is now the united policy of all 21 American na- tions Machinery is provided to make it stick. The result of the Havana con- ference is greater and better than many hoped.
 A light has been raised in dark world. A dam has been built to halt the spread of totalitarianism. In no other part ot the world would such a meeting be pos sible No other great power would do what the United States has done - de- liberately forbear to use it's power to coerce it's neighbors, yet win them by patient argument and reason to its point of view. The Havana agreement is triumph of reason and decency in world which has been lowing to force alone.
 Let no one think, however, that this settles the whole matter. Comment III European newspapers already shows that American unity infuriateS the totalltar- ians The German, Italian, Spanish, and Japanese 6llOlGS GO SdAll pOl1GACol AA41o- ence in South America will be redoubled. But abandonment of the grandiose cartel scheme removes the slightest legitimate objection that Europe might make to American unity.
 The American countries will trade with all, but they will insist on trading on equal terms, with no special advantages to any, and no privileged political posi- tions swapped for a boatload of wheat, beef or copper. Havana marks a begln- ming not an ending. Let there be no de- lusions. Having set up the rules, we must ell play the game. The United States once set up a light before the world, wrote set of rules - the League of Ma tions. Then it refused to play. This time 1t must play out the game.
 AS Leopoldo Melo, the Argentinlan dele gate, said at Havana, "We all made con- sessions" We must all make them in future if we are to weld the Americas all the more firmly together. No change of administration, no change of personnel in the State Department, must be allowed to shake the structure that has been so painstakingly built for more than decade. Both parties are presumably in favor of developing Pan Americanism. It would be nationally serviceable for the opposition party to place itself squarely behind the Act of Havana, assuring our ister republic that this phase at least ot American foreign relations is beyond either personality or party.

To Bridge or Not to Bridge

Bridges continue to remain problem for Waterbury. Twas ever thus. Even back in the days when only an occasional ox-cart rumbled through the dusty roads that made up the travelled section of this township the task of getting across the many streams that flowed down the valleyside and into the larger Naugatuck and Mad Rivers was forever intruding itself into the affairs of the elected or appointed officials. These have merely increased with the transition to motor age.
 Right now city fathers are more or less stumped by the knowledge that the inn portant Washington avenue bridge across the Naugatuck River is distinct traffic hazard, so much so that it has been closed to vehicles. Ordinary repairs are not go- ing to be sufficient to remedy the Situa- tion, although it had originally been de- termined that this would be all that was necessary. No funds are set aside for new bridge here, but it has been proposed that the funds earrnarked for the Bald win Street bridge be used for the Wash ington Avenue one.
 All of which calls for wise thought and sound action by our commissioners and elected officials. It may be argued that legally the city has no right to do any, thing else with the funds obtained by selling bridge bonds than erect a new Baldwin Street span. It may be pointed out that to use these funds for another bridge, urgent though the need may be for it, would be to establish precedent that might in years to come be sadly abused. And yet we admit the need for prompt and decisive action with respect to making Washington Avenue again passable.
 It might be possible for the city to proceed with its plans for the new Bald win Street bridge and by dint of careful planning and expenditure on this project have sufficient funds to carry construc- ton of new Washington Avenue bridge along to the point where the Legislature would be in session and would authorize additional funds. This would simply be arl adaptation of the system of borrowing in anticipation of tax returns.

Set Up New System

By virtue of the fact that the city now has so much cash in its treasury that 1t won't have to borrow funds to run its bus mess for the next few months, it might not be amiss for our city fathers to think something about establishing the uniform tax date system here. There was considerable agitation for this through out Connecticut few years ago and 8 survey was even conducted to see if our municipalities and towns couldn't adopt it.
 Right now Waterbury is "well-heeled". And since it won't have to borrow money to pay it's running expenses until the next tax inStallment comes in, 1t will avoid floating short-term loans and the consequent interest charge. While it has been possible for most communities to borrow funds at extremely low rates of interest in recent years, nevertheless this charge was just another added burden that the taxpayer had to shoulder be- cause of the fact that bookkeeping and actual tax collection methods differed.
 Elimination of the necessity of short term loans or borrowing in anticipation of taxes, as it is more commonly deSig- mated, is so much custom among Amer ican communities that it's second nature. Once eliminated, though, it enables city to establish more uniform method of levying and collecting taxes. It does seem as if Waterbury with it's financial position so protected now might well consider the advisability of telling the state it's in a position to join any concerted drive for uniform tax year.

Correctness for the Vanquished

The Germans occupying Amsterdam seem deeply hurt and genuinely disap- pointed by the attitude toward them of the Dutch. It has happened that when German officers entered restaurant, for instance, all the Dutch patrons quietly got up and left This sort of thing, is annoying. So the Dutch Burgomaster has felt moved to issue proclamation to the effect that q notice that everyone is not conducting himself correctly and respectfully toward the German Army of Occupation ."
 That is really too bad, because every evidence indicates that the conduct of German occupying troops, once conquest is complete, is beyond reproach. It is said that some of the Dutch find them selves unable to forget the 30,000 civil ians killed and the 10000 wounded in the attack on Rotterdam May "A. The standards of just what is correct conduct toward a conqueror need to be more closely defined.

The question of the weight or quality Of a policeman's shirt is not limited to Waterbury, One of our local Women's political clubs having gone on record as favoring lighter weight shirt for the policemen the subject is now as vigor- ously debated as the universal conscrip- ton bill in Congress. Hartford, too, pug zles over the matter. But up there it's more or less confined to a police board issue. Hartford under it's charter is sup posed to supply the policemen with free uniforms. Now someone wants to know how many summer shirts go with the uniform. And the city seems disposed to argue that in supplying uniforms it is not called upon to furnish enough, to give the patrolman change every day. However, if white shirts are worn with uniforms throughout summer months any patrolman will need several changes for each week. And if Hartford under takes to supply the complete outfit It must be prepared to make sure the ward robe is well-stocked

agony, we can be sure of a guid- ance which will make our steps as if we walked in the light of noon- day sun. The mysteries of religion are many, but let us take the first step in faith and every step after that will lead us into the dawning. An impossible gulf may seem to yawn between ourselves and cer- tain achievements, but if we are diligent and trusting we can leave the issue in hands far stronger than our own.
 There is a Power in the world supplementing our weak and falter- ing efforts. It is hard to believe if we keep looking down all the time, and very easy to believe and to understand if we look up. The disci- ples had much to learn, even after they had seen the risen Lord, but they knew that henceforth they would walk as followers of that One who goeth before His disciples.

New Britain is now being tossed on the horns of a dilemma. The dilemma arises out of the fact the city has rest home for tubercular patients without any real need for the same A few years ago New Britain learned that residents couldn't gain ready admittance to state sanatoria because there were waiting lists at all of them. The same was true of most large communities. But New Britain decided to do something about this and to make life bit more enjoyable for those unfortunates who required sana- torium care. A rest home for patients while waiting their turn to be admitted was pre- Scribed. It's about ready now, but there aren't any patients for it, as all the state sanatoria are now so expanded that no waiting lists exist.

PERSONAL INVENTORY Bridgeport Telegraph

Most business concerns at some time in the year take stock.
 They inventory all their tangibles at their actual worth, and check in the intangibles too. They go over the past, its successes and failures, and skip nothing that will help them chart the future.
 Why should not an individual do the same?
 A personal inventory has special value at this time of year. For most people there is pause in the years activities, or at least a let down. :.
 Take stock. Reckon exactly what you are worth not only in tangibles, but in intangibles. What about your personal rela- tionships with other people have they improved or turned sour? What about your habits; which way do they trend? What about prejudices; is there reason for them, and do they ham, per or help?
 What about health? An inventory which shows much sickness shows poor management.
 Personal appearance is another asset or liability. So are your rec reations, pleasures and hobbies.
 Above all, have you learned any thing new and useful during the year? If not you have not made nrogress: YOU have actually gone backward. The world moves.
 You move with it. Take personal inventory.

It cost Waterbury nice piece Of change to experiment somewhat similarly along this line. We built an expensive lso- lation hospital and then had no patients to justify it's operation or even its man. tenance. Before it was finally leased a year or so ago the city had sunk lot ot fax dollars into structure that was built over the protests of at least majority or those entitled to have some say in the matter.

SONNET
 (Paul Francis Webster in the New York Times) When in the course of troublous times, the heart Speaks out the terror that the mind denies, A thousand questionings unbidden start As noxious vapors from bog arise. Caught in the rip-tide of pounding stream, Behold the swimmers as they vainly grope; Preverse ungraspable, to them must seem The shadowy chimera known as hope. Yet none among us can be spared the taint Who live among unspeakable events; Nor gild the ulcer with tube of paint, Nor cloak the lie in spangled eloquence; While from the man-made dark no answer comes Only the boding thunder of the drunlsl

It is true that Commissioner Medley, reporting on the first SIX months of the year, is able to show a reduction of e02 in the number or accidents and of 972 in the number of injuries. This is Q gratifying er- try on the credit side of the ledger.

 Thus, it would be far easier, and cheaper, to bolster the Bri- tish with some destroyers and keep the German-Italian navies bottled up, than have to face them along the thousands of miles of un1ortified South Amer ican coast line.
 BRITISH WAITED
 The situation, in the opinion of both Army and Navy strate- gists, is not dissimilar from posi- ton of the British in regard to France. AS long as Hitler was faced with a strong French army, Britain stood in no real danger. But once the Nazis broke through the Maginot Line, there was no bulwark to stop them from over- running the rest of Europe.
 The situation has other possible points of similarity. When the French were still defending the Maginot Line, the British, wor- ried over home defense, kept most of their airplanes at home. The French claim that, given more British air support, they might have held out.
 Likewise one school of Ameri- can strategy which believes, as did the British, that U. s. de- StrOyers should be kept at home to protect the Western Hemi- sphere when Hitler finally breaks through the British ma rine Maginot Line. But the majority of higher-up strategists figure that by that time it will be too late.
 Meanwhile, however, there is no way for the President to trans fer these destroyers, unless Con- gress passes an act giving him that power. And the isolationist clique
