Praises Mr.. Willkie
For Courage in Leadership.
10 the Editor Of The Star.
Il shall lead you down the road of
sacrifice and to service to your country"
So said Wendell Willkie at Elwood.
To my mind those are the most cou-
rageous words and the finest yet spoken
by an American.
Only through solidarity of purpose
can we bring this country out of the
depression, out of chaos, and build de-
fenses strong enough to Withstand all
onslaughts both from within and from
without.
One has only to look at the British
they seem now that they are united in
one common cause; see the zeal and
fervor with which they work Look at
our own country. In a small way one
Gan see what happiness cooperation
brings when one thinks of the women
already working in common cause in
the Red Cross establishn -ents.
II President Roosevelt had been brave
enough to put such ideals into practice
at the beginning of the New Deal. we
should have had prosperity and security
enough at this time so that no great
crusade would be necessary.
God bless Wendell Willkie, a man
who dares to say, II shall lead you down
the road to sacrifice and to service to
your country. L have nothing to ofIer
you but blood, toll, tears and sweat"

Republicans Threaten to
Bolt Party.
70 the Editor Of The Star.

As q true, rock-ribbed variety Repub-
lican. I find myself perched on the horns
Of dilemma. Today read that Wendell
Willkie has disowned everything con-
nected with the Republican party but
the name, that he is not depending on
the Republican organization for a vic
tory in November Being unable to
quiet my conscience sufficiently to vote
for Mr.. Roosevelt, and resenting Mr..
WILKES suggestion that he does not
need my support or that of 1900, 900
other organization Republicans to carry
him to victory in November, If am to
60 to the polls at all 1t will be to vote
for some one like Roger Babson or Nor
man Thomas.
A mistake was made at Philadelphia,
and win or lose in November, those hard
working Republicans who have kept a
great organization intact are going to
see their handiwork destroyed by their
candidate. BOLTER.

Nominal Peace

1OkIO QlplOWaCy mas coined
brand new international term
nominal peace" It has just "nego-
tiated" treaty with Japan's puppet
at Marking, Wang Ching-wei, presi-
dent Of the so-called central gov
ernment of China" whereby the
three-year-old Sino-Japanese unde-
clared war would be "nominally"
ended. There having been what
Toxic terms "a final readjustment of
basic relations" the treaty will be
formally approved some time this
month and become effective, after
signature, in October.
Thereupon the japanese will rec
ognize the Wang regime as the gov
ernment of China and expect their
co-signatories of the -Comintern
pact, Germany and Italy, to follow
suit. Other international repercus-
sions, according to Toxic dispatches,
would be demands from Marking for
remuneration by foreign powers of all
concessions now held by them, at
Shanghai, Tientsin and other treaty
ports, and their return to China.
The japanese militarists are advo-
eating an armed alliance with Wang,
which would strengthen his demands
on the Western powers.
All and sundry of these develop
ments, actual and reported, attest
afresh Japan'S eagerness to end the
China incident" her euphemistic
idiom for the war which the Chinese
continue to wage with unyielding
tenacity. Chang Kai-shek's govern
ment, despite the continuous and
murderous air raids on Chungking,
reveals no indication of abandoning
its resistance. even against hopeless
odds. Details of Japan's terms,
which leaked out at the end of July,
proved, if proof were necessary, that
the Toxic war lords idea of peace
connotes the unconditional sur
render and complete subjugation of
China. Even the promise that she
would be allowed to share in eco
nomic opportunities" in her own
country, once Japan's sovereignty
were acknowledged, failed to weaken
Chiang's determination to fight on.
Not fully realized in the Western
World is the immense service to it
which China is rendering by riveting
Japan's attention and military ener-
gies upon the mainland OF Asia. To-
kio's desire to exploit the war in Eu-
rope-the collapse of France and the
Netherlands and the plight of Brit
AIMS all but openly conceded. AS
long as the Mikado's army and navy
require respectively, to ward off Chi
nese guerrilla warfare and counter
attacks and to maintain a tight
coastal blockade, Japan is in no posi-
tion to risk military adventures in
Indo- China, the Dutch East Indies
or at Hong Kong and other British
points on which she has cast covet-
GUS eyes.
Nominal peace" with Wang
Ching-wei's China is not designed to
alter this situation while Chang Kai-
shek's China is in the field. The lat
ter remains the chief barrier to that
new order in ASIA" which the
Konoye government reproclaims as
Japan's ineradicable ambition.

Rumuniun Losses

in the spring of 1919, she represented
one of the smallest independent
nations in Europe. The population
OF the country for which she spoke
at Versailles did not exceed eight
millions. But the Allies felt obliged
to grant the demands for territory
which added ten million people to
the number of her majesty's sub
jects. She insisted upon the fulfill
ment Of the terms Of the secret treaty
Of August II, 1915; and Georges
Clemenceau and David Lloyd George
persuaded President Woodrow VIII
son to agree that her case was good
and that justice to hitherto sup
pressed minorities required the crea-
tion of the greater Rumania which
had been the aim of the irridentist
party at Bucharest from 1866 on
ward
Stamp collectors, curiously enough,
have more comprehensive knowl-
edge of these events than the gen.
erality of their non-philatelic con-
temporaries. In return for an
immediate declaration of war against
the Emperors William and Francis
Joseph, the Bratianu government
had been guaranteed the Banat,
Pennsylvania, the Hungarian plain
as far as Tisza, and the Bukovina as
far as the Prut. Clear title to
Dobruja and to Bessarabia likewise
was wanted, the one at the expense
of Bulgaria, the other from Russia.
II conceded, the area Of the union
which as late as 1857 had been merely
the separate provinces of Moldavia
and Walachia would be increased
from 55,489 to 122,2s2 square miles.
The incredible happened. A glance
through SCOTS Standard Catalogue
shows lengthy lists of provisional
postal labels issued in token Of a
policy of expansion the like of which
had not been seen in Eastern Europe
in centuries.
The stamps of Hungary especially
were seized by invading troops In
1919 and surcharged with symbols
of Rumanian royalty. Whole pages
of them are reported. Some of the
rarer varieties are valuable in the
philatelic market. Even though few
Of the doctored adhesives were en-
ployed to carry letters, they are
desired by collectors who wish to
boast completeness. The difficulty,
from the buyers point Of view, is
that the situation never is stabilized
to everybodys satisfaction. Just
now. as an incident Of the second
World War, Queen Marie's accessions
are being detached from the control
Of her son, King Carol. Caught be-
tween Russia on the north and Ger
many and italy on the west and the
south, he perforce had been obliged
to consent to surrenders of real
estate which his loyal followers quite
naturally deplore. The lost ter
ritories again are alienated. Pre-
sumably, long sequences of over
printed postage stickers will be
manufactured to testify to the event.
Collectors doubtless can be expected
to acquire them at prices high or
low as they may be. Then, when the
kaleidoscope of continental Europe
shifts again, history will repeat; and
still further sets of philatelic scraps
of paper will appear.
Meanwhile, for the moment Ruma-
mia is quieter than it was last week.
The significance of the subsidence
of popular demonstrations is prob
lematical.

GEORGE JOHNSON
TAKEN BY DEATH
Norfolk Resident, 50, Was
States Oldest Druggist;
Born in Middlebury

Norfolk, Oct. 28.-George T. John
son, the states oldest druggist, died
Sunday night at his home here after
a career which began nearly 10
years ago. He was 88 years old.
His pharmaceutical career began
with a desire to join the Navy after
his finished school in New Haven at
the age of II. There was no recruit
ing station nearby, but young
George had heard of the Norfolk
Navy Yard. He went to the rail-
road station and asked for a ticket
to Norfolk. CHANGING at the money
in the young mans hand, the ticket
agent decided he meant Norfolk,
Conn, sold him a ticket, and the
would-be sailor was on his way. Ar
irving here he was disappointed for
he could find no ocean. AS a mat
ter of fact he had to go several
miles to see pond. But he needed
money, and the only druggist in
town needed clerk. George John
son was hired, at a salary of Sc a
month, with room and board.
There began an active career that
lasted until his death Sunday. Dur
ing the day he worked in the store
as usual and locked it up Sunday at
6 p. m. He died three hours later.
A brother, Benton johnson, died
Thursday in Los Angeles, Calf.
Born June 20, 1852, in fiddle

One of the largest attendances of
the current political campaign ex-

to the contest to re-elect President
Roosevelt and to insure the success
of the state Democratic ticket.
A statement issued by the Central
Labor Union through Chairman
Tata reads as follows:
"The Campaign to reflect our
friend and leader, Franklin D.
Roosevelt, is the fight of our men
and women who work for wages. It
is a fight against those selfish in
terests who place property rights
above the rights of human beings. It
is a fight to preserve the gains of
labor achieved after long years of
struggle and effort. 1t is fight to
maintain our freedom and liberty.
We are in this fight to win. We
will win this fight. To reflect the
greatest friend and supporter OF
wage earners whom we have ever
known, we must have the active and
militant support of every member OF
organized labor.

president who must guide our people
in the dangerous days ahead. The
stakes for every worker in this
Presidential election are high. We
must choose a president who has
demonstrated that he can function
with courage and skill as our Com
mander-in-Chi
We must expose the dangers to the
worker of the labor hating candi-
dacy of Wall Street Wilkie. W.
must see to it that every working
man and woman will not only vott
for Roosevelt but will enlist theil

Franklin D. Roosevelt has earned
our loyalty and respect because hi
rescued our nation from chaos
Franklin D. Roosevelt not only op-
posed the effort of the Willkie Wall
Street group to destroy labor legis-
lation, but he has assured the ma
tons workers that all of labor's
gains will be maintained.
We need your help in arousing
every member and friend of organ
lied labor to campaign for an over
whelming victory on November 5th
We are confident that, if you all dc
your part, that we shall succeed in
registering victory even greater
than that of 1886.
Protect your interests and the in
terest of your families by making
it a clean sweep for Roosevelt. The
workers of America have never failed
to stand with their friends. We
must not, and will not, fail to prove
the unity of American workers in
this campaign by rejecting Frank

Congressman Says Labor
Laws Attributable to
Democratic Regime

Torrington, Oct. % - Declaring
that the gains in social and labor
legislation during the past seven
years are attributable to the Demo-
cratic administration, Congressman
j. Joseph Smith at a Democratic
rally at White Eagle Hall yesterday
afternoon charged that the Repub-
licans are putting up a smoke screen
to conceal the facts and issues of
this campaign. He claimed that the
Republicans are taking credit for
these gains.
''We never promised to put men
back to work overnight, but we did
promise to correct the causes of
widespread unemployment in 1885,
he said. Defending his stand in this
matter, Congressman Smith stated
that nine million persons were put
back to work during the past seven
years and in Waterbury alone, there
are $4,000 men and women working
today as compared to $4,000 when
President Roosevelt took office.
