ment for instant armed American
help for the Allies, short of an ex-
peditionary force. Hamilton Fish
Armstrong, Gen. Organ, President
Conant OF Harvard, Tom Dewey,
Wendell Willkie and Mrs. Dwight
Morrow are the latest notable ad-
vocates Of such a policy. 1t does
not lack support in Congress, where
Senator Pepper, Democrat, of Flor
Ida Is its chief proponent. Editor
Armstrong, now in Paris, thinks
American planes and supplies,
promptly and plentifully dispatched,
might enable the British and
French to hold off the Germans
until aircraft and other sinews can
be sent the Allies in quantities
necessary to wipe out their present
inferiority. Mrs. Morrow, Col.
Lindbergh's mother-in-law, pub
hcly disassociates herself from his
lsolationist war attitude by pro-
claiming her "wholehearted ap-
proVar' of the Armstrong proposal.
Mr.. Willkie, declaring Britain and
France "our first line of defense
against Hitler" would have Secre-
tary Hull ask the Allies publicly
and openly, in the name of the
American people" just what aid,
snort of troops, this country can at
once render the western powers.

Navy and Public.
Navys public relations, never
more important than now, are in
new hands. 1t. Comdr. Barnard
l.. Austin succeeds Comdr. Leland
P. Lovette, recently transferred to
sea service, as officer in charge.
Austin, who served under Lovette
during the last two years, is a South
Carolinian and Annapolis "a. His
previous service included an instruc-
torship in physics and chemistry
at the Naval Academy and COM
mand of submarine. Austin's as
sistant in public relations is 1t.
Comdr. Robert w. Berry, New
Yorker, appointed to Annapolis (at
large) from the Marine Corps by
Secretary Daniels in 1917. He was
once an assistant professor in the
naval r. o. T. c. unit at Harvard.

Diplomatic Dynasty.
Few diplomatic appointments ever
aroused so universal approval as
capable Jay Pierrepont Moffats
promotion from the State Depart
ment to the ministership to Canada.
He is son-in-law of Joseph C.
Grew, Ambassador to Japan, Uncle
Sans ace diplomat, all three of
whose daughters are married to for
eign service officers. Moffat is the
third career envoy we've sent to
Ottawa. Predecessors were William
Phillips, now Ambassador to Italy,
and Norman Armour, now Ambassa-
dor to Argentina. Apparently no
more deserving politicians are to be
rewarded with the important Cana
dian mission. 1t will be Moffats
second assignment to a British do
minion. He had tour of consular
duty in Australia.

through the state is also expected to be
taken care of by 10-cent tolls. Already
these tolls are being collected down on
the Merritt Parkway so that the route
can be pushed further and further into
the state.
The next important step in the park
way expansion plan is to carry the road
across the HouSatonic River. This prof.
ect is already started Then the road will
be carried, very likely, north OF New
Haven and in the general direction Of
Hartford. But should the route pass
across the Connecticut River on the new
toll bridge it would deviate from an ex-
pressed intention of avoiding all con-
gested areas And yet we can't see
another bridge being built across the
stream to carry this super-fine parkway
across.
1t looks as if the new toll bridge would
be chosen and that the parkway might
have to be adapted to Hartford's traffic
situation for few miles unless the State
Highway Department comes up with a
startling plan for sending the parkway
over Hartford's streets in the form of an
elevated express route. At any rate the
designation of the site for the new Hart
ford bridge rather definitely determined
one point where the Wilbur L. Cross
Parkway would more or less conform to
city street standards.

Look Before You Leap-Or Join

In times of storm and stress like these,
organizations spring up like mushrooms.
People have an urge to join things. Inc
wish to be united with others in some
movement is very strong. 1t gives feel
ing of being N"safe with the crowd. But
now, more than ever before, people DO
well to consider carefully what organi-
cations they join.
A man comes to you and asks you to
join the Amalgamated America Associa-
ton. whats the idea?" you ask.
"We're for Americanism!" says the plaus-
ible gent. "The dues are So, and here's
your button" Whoa up, there, Elmer!
Americanism, you say? We're all for
that. But precisely what are you driving
at, anyway?
It is Just as we'll to look carefully into
any organization which seeks member
ship and support. Attorney General
Robert H. Jackson has offered some adj
vice on things like this. 1t is so sensible,
so elemental, that we think it's worth
repeating:
"Refrain from joining any Organi-
zation," Jackson suggests, until
you know:
First, the source of its promo
tiOnal funds.
second, VINO your dSSOCldIeS III
the organization are, and who their
hackers are.
'"Third, what becomes of your dues
or contributions"
That seems pretty elemental, doesn't
it? And yet many people do not even
try to find out such simple things before
they sign on the dotted line and begin
paying dues. Many have joined organ
izations just to be obliging, or just to
have that warm feeling of being united
with many others, only to find later that
the promoters were either simply steal
ing the money or using it for purposes OF
which the joiner had no idea at all.
Americanism? Certainly But just
what phase of Americanism is being
fostered, and by what means? Patriotism?
Certainly. But through what kind of
program? To look before you leap - or
to Investigate before you join - that is
the course of common sense. And as cit
liens of the United States of America we
already belong to the greatest organiza-
tion in the world of free men working to-
gether to build free and happy life for
all.

Connecticut Crossing

Many are conjecturing on The posi-

Connecticut River at Hartford being the
link on the Wilbur L. Cross Parkway.
This new route has to cross the river at
some point and inasmuch as early discus
sion OF the new roadway had 1t passing
close to Hartford there is no reason TO be-

changed. II this is the case there may
have 10 be some discussion as TO alloca-

ANTI-CHATTER-BUG
(christian Science Monitorl

One item the censor omitted to
strike out Of the daily budget of
news is that clubs are forming in
England, in high and low society,
for the purpose of discouraging idle
chatter. Southampton oranizes
"Anti-C hatter-Bug Week, /" with anti
gossip sermons preached in the
churches, and banners displayed In
public places to warn people against
scattering scraps of news which
might be Of aid to the enemy.
What q trying age this would
have been for "Sairey Camp or
MRS. Bardell'l The little card, slip
ped quietly into offenders hands,
inscribed. Don't you think gossip
may be dangerously" would have
made Mrs. Camp cry immediately:
"And I feel for them as has their
feelings tried; but am not Roos-
han or Prooshan, and consequent
ly cannot suffer spies to be. set
over me-"
The card has its merits, iaeverthe-
less, In peace and war, but that
form Of self-control which silences
all gossip, defined in the dictionary
as "gromdless rumor," makes q
valuable contribution to society, In
any country. at any time.

New Chairman Or Not?

It remains to be seen whether or not
Chairman J. Francis Smith OF the DEM
ocratic State Central Committee IS
stronger willed than the organization
tonight. His resignation, long coming,
was denied a few weeks ago, SO Chalr-
man Smith said he'd give party leaders
a chance to think it over before he tried
once more to have it accepted formally
and a. successor elected in his place. That
opportunity to replace him comes to-
night here in Waterbury with the COM
mittee scheduled to accept the Smith
resignation and perhaps name Guy b.
Holt as new chairman.
MIR. Holt, if he is the lucky man to
follow in Mr.. Smiths footsteps, should
follow more or less the same pattern OF
party activity as the Waterbury man set
up since he became affiliated With the
State Central Committee some eight years
ago. It is a pattern that has brought
good results for the party here m the
state and which actually resulted IN an
expansion of Democratic successes in
many towns which had never shown any
such political leanings before.
MIR. Holt is no novice either in political
campaigning Or in party management
And in addition to the experience he
could bring to the office, were ne to be
selected tonight, he bears name that IS
a byword among Democrats OF the OLD
school. They remember well the faith
full and enduring service of his father and
Judge the son accordingly. We don't doubt
but what there will be vigorous fight
still to retain the Waterbury chairman,
but that he will make a graceful exit
can't be denied

Modern Manhattan,
Murder Mystery

To most people, the New York
City since 1900 means bigger build
ings and more people. Actually, the
transition goes deeper.
Manhattan society has changed to
such an extent since Ward McAllis-
ter first named the Four Hundred,
that the glittering social pyramid of
1910 bears little resemblance to the
original group. The urbane man
about town who was something of q
social arbiter has almost disappear
ed. his niche filled TO rthe most part
by playboys and professional extra
men.
Yet scattered through the Man
hatta nsociety scene are individuals,
both men and women, who cling
proudly though rather hopelessly to
the traditions of the old order. Flu
tile blu likeable, they are unable to
grasp the slick urbanity of Man
haitian, 1910.

along to level those barriers with fire and

ion. Now, economic and political unity"
at bayonet-point. Why has no one had
the wit to try economic unity combined
with political independence?
