THE LOSS OF DIR. SAXON
Hartford Times)

Governor Baldwin undoubtedly
regrets exceedingly, and with good
cause, that the rules Of Yale uni
versity make 1t necessary for DR..
o. Glenn Saxon TO give up the post
OF state finance commissioner a
short time hence.
Despite Yale's inability under Its
rules 10 extend his leave, DR.. Saxon
probably would continue TO hold his
position were it not for the state
law which requires that he must
give his full time to it. Obviously,
he cannot do that and return also
TO the Yale faculty.
The combination of circumstances
therefore seems likely to deprive
Governor Baldwin of the most i'm
portant member Of his administra-
ton. The finance commissioner has
become virtually the business man.
ager Of the state, as well as the
chief factor in drawing up the bien-
NAL budget. His hand Is ON every
department. He Is the dependence
of the executive in keeping the
state within its budget. To lose
such man. when he Is as able
as DR.. Saxon has proved himself
TO be, is extremely unfortunate.
The consequences probably will be
mitigated since DR.. Saxon will con-
tinue to give his assistance inform
ally. With the interests of the state
at heart Yale university probably
will agree to that.
Under such an arrangement the
consequences of the decision will be
considerably mitigated and the work
of the department may be carried
OF effectively until 1941, when there
will have to be n reorganization
under Baldwin or another admin
istration.
II Is, however. cause for regret
that the state will have TO lose DR.
Saxon's services as the formal hold
er Of the finance post.

If Waterbury wants to get first-hand
information on the cost and operation
of modern, up-to-date sewage disposal
plant II can contract New Haven officials
That city has just opened fine new
plant which Is supposed to correct some
of the evils attending the emptying OF
raw sewage into New Haven harbor and
adjacent waterways A plant that was
begun almost two years ago Is now being
tested in the Elm City. Eventually 1t will
handle half of the citys raw sewage. The
State Water Commission ordered New
Haven to install this plant after contin-
ued complaints from West Haven about
the condition of It's shore-front. The
original estimates of the cost of the plant
were $l,504,000 and the job when fin
ished will run just about 100000 less
than this figure which Is hitting pretty
close. The full effects OF the operation
OF this disposal plant are not expected to
be noticed for about two more years
which Is good reason why many COM
munities without them should get their
plans started as soon as possible.

and Harrington--had arrived TO
discuss proposal that Roose-
welt endorse q harmony" ticket
similar TO the one patched up In
Texas. The plan was engineered
by Gillette to bloc an Iowa third
term delegation.
Roosevelt was non .committal,
taking the position that 1t was
up 10 the Iowa leaders. But then,
speaking with q frankness he has
seldom displayed, he explained
that his silence on the third term
was dictated by international con-
siderations.
Had he stated his intentions q
year ago, Roosevelt declared, IL
would have greatly impaired the
governments position IN the des-
perate efforts to preserve peace.
With FDR definitely out of the
picture and battle royal raging
for the nomination, foreign pow
ers would have paid little atten-
ton 10 the U. s. because of UNI
certainty over Its policy under the
new administration.
"rhcre would have been con.
fusion and chaos" the Prcsi-
dent said, In effect. 1--WE would
have approached the election rs
u house divided instead Of q
harmonious whole"
Roosevelt also pointed out that
by his remaining silent the field
OF possible successors had been
confined TO experienced and known
leaders, TO the exclusion of over
night sensations. He recalled
how Calvin Coolidge. little known
as Governor OF Massachusetts,
overnight became q national fig
ure by claiming he quelled the
Boston police strike.

Military training for members of CCC
units looms again. This has long been a
good question for debate One OF the
real successful ventures of the New Deal
the CCC has managed to live It's own
life without being turned into semi
military organization prepared to become
a full-fledged corps in case we were in
volved in war. Now those who see
potentialties of developing a war machine
out of the CCC would expand this pro-
gram to include the WPA in the plan. 1t
may be that we'll have to call on all
forces to defend our land If hostile troops
move into such nearby points as the
Dutch West Indies or even Iceland.

The common objection TO that, of
course-from the allied standpoint
lis that any peace which Germany
would consent to now could only
be- a crushing defeat for Great Bril-
tain, probably involving the loss of
the empire itself, Mr., Libby begs
TO differ.

BELIEVES INVASION
AUGURS PEACE

AUGURS PEACE
Frederick Libby, veteran head oil
the National Council for the Pre-
vention Of War, must come close
TO being the only undiscouraged
paclflst In the country.
He believes the invasion OF Hol-
land and Belgium may actually
give new impetus TO the move 10
restore world peace.
"The invasion OF Holland and
Belgium momentarily makes our Job
more difficult, of course" he says,
"But In the long run 1t Is really
harder on our militarists
you see, II proves that there is
absolutely nothing we can do In n
military way TO save Great Brit
ain"
Mr., Libby figures that out like
this;
America can't give Britain Inn
mediate help with airplanes-be-
cause, rs recent testimony before
congressional committees by high
army officers indicates, u. s. plane
production Is far behind schedule
and the vast numbers OF airplanes
the British need Just aren't availa-
bic.
America can't extend naval help
because Britain doesn't need II. 1t
can't help with It's army because
tM II hasn't got the men available
and tbD the British aren't short of
manpower, So, says Mr., Libby:
while We In the peace move
mcnt certainly aren't IN q position
TO crow over our incapacity TO do
anything, we can say that this
proves that we have been right all
along In saying that the war must
be mediated."

Minnesota's Supply of
Timber Near E exhaustion

an aggregate of 100000 board feet
Of lumber.
AS the federal government COM
pleted treaties with the Indians, new
territories were opened up for the
logger. Five or six mills were built
prior to 1874 in Saltwater, which then
promised to be the largest city in the
state. Franklin Steele built mill in
Minneapolis in 1847 and bought his
logs from Chief-Hole-In-The-D for
so cents tree. From this start, Min
neapolis gained its leadership in the
lumber industry.
up to this time logging was con-
fined TO the vicinity Of large streams
and sawulillS were located only on
rivers, since these were the only means
for Transporting logs from forest to
mill With the coming Of the railroad,
logging expended into new territory
back from the river When a railroad
first reached the Mississippi river at
Prairie du Chem in 1854, Minneapolis
had population Of 5000; by 1856 it
had increased to 100000. Duluth was
linked by rail to Minneapolis in 1870
and mills were Immediately established
there. In 1878 the first mill was built
in Cloquet, the city which later took
the lead IN the lumber industry away
from Minneapolis and holds it to the
present day. Other large mills were
built at West Duluth, Carlton, Scanlon,
Grand Rapids, Deer River, Cas- Lake,
Bemidji, Walker, Akeley, Virginia and
International Falls"
Minnesota's timber industry was at
its peak in 1899, when the annual cut
had reached the enormous figure Of
2,341, 719 900 board feet. In those days
it was thought that the states timber
supply was inexhaustible, but since that
peak season it has been steadily dwind-
ling until now it is recognized that
there IS danger OF it ceasing alto
gether unless something is done about
II. Citing that as the condition, today,
the bulletin outlines what Minnesota
must do" to put the industry on a
permanent basis Of adequate production.
At the top Of the list Of "musts''
is Notwithstanding trees on the
cutover lands. Second, is fire protec-
ton On this subject the bulletin says,
among other things:
Minnesota has a good forest fire
suppression organization; but, like al
other organizations, it must be main
tanned and continually improved upon
if We are to make progress. Adequate
appropriation for fire protection and
an increase in the number of forest
rangers and patrolmen can do much
toward keeping fire out Of the timber
area However, no patrol system can
be devised which VIII eliminate al
forest fires People must be educated
TO help. When every citizen is trained
to exercise care with the use of fire
and feels under obligation to put out
fire whenever and wherever he sees
it, there VIII be few big forest fires"
Forest management; consolidation of
State-owned forest lands; private
! forests; farm forestry and community
forests, are the other subjects dis
cussed under the must" program.
