The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-07-10

DR.. Aranha has decided not to 60 himself
to the Havana conference, but TO send
representative This suggests that Brazil Is
handling gently the hot potato OF just
how far she will go in taking part in any
such mutual action. The United States
has clearly indicated that 1t would prefer
to handle any such problems jointly. For
10 years it has labored to make the Mon
roe Doctrine not merely policy OF the
United States government, but joint
policy of all the American republics.
Let no one make any mistake about it.
If there is threat of seizure of Carib-
bean islands or other South American
territories whose occupation by Euro
pean power would endanger the Panama
Canal the United States will act alone
if necessary. 1t would be helpful If, even
before the Havana meeting, both presi-
Dental candidates could make clear that
in inter American matters there Is no
party. U. S. diplomacy is often handi-
capped by the feeling among other Ameri-
can countries that change OF admins
tration may mean change OF policy.
But in the present emergency both
parties are bound by the logic Of events
to cloSely-Similar inter-American policies.
To have both candidates say so, perhaps
even in a Joint statement, forthrightly
and definitely would probbaly help
smooth the path of the American ennis
SarieS to Havana. 1t will act together
with the other republics if they have by
that time decided to carry their fair
share of the burden. But If they have
not, if they shilly-shally along and seem
reluctant to join in mutual action, then
the United States will act alone. But
it will act. 1t has no other choice.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-07-10
United For What?

The New York Times Is of the impress
sion that Ireland is in grave danger OF
being swallowed up in the Nazi NAV as
have been so many other small countries
in the last year or so. The feeling is quite
widespread, even the Irish themselves are
aware of their peril and have taken what
steps they could to avert any attack that
might be made upon them from without
or within. The idea of conquering Ire
land, from German standpoint, would
be simply to use it as an effective barrier
between British trade across the Atlantic.
But The Times inclines to the view
point that all of Ireland, North and
South, should recognize it's danger and
that of Britain and should take the proper
steps to ally itself with the latter to avert
the threat of invasion. The Times says
that neutral Fire knows that she Is woe
fully undefended, with handful OF air
planes and little more than one division OF
trained men; yet she refuses to coordinate
her defenSeS with those of Britain and
Northern Ireland, which form a part OF
the United Kingdom. -"
All of which may be true, but If it is, 1t
certainly answers the question very nicely.
Why should Fire coordinate her resources
in men and materials with Northern Ire
land and Britain when Northern Ireland,
which certainly is very properly part OF
the territory that Hitler is expected to
invade, won't coordinate at all with the
rest of the island? Putting the blame on
Fire is just another way of stirring up
the trouble that has perplexed Fire for
years now and which has enabled Eng
land to maintain its hold on the nation
through those few northern counties.
Certainly. now if ever, there should be
a united Ireland, but it can't be expected
at sacrifice of the rights SO long fought
for by those counties comprising Fire.

A Losing Gamble

On the premise that this would be
wear in which Americans would not want
to be surfeited with politics and cam
paign speeches high chieftains in the
Democratic Party outlined a program OF
strategy that brought the national con-
vention up to the middle of July, one OF
the latest dates for this gathering that
we have known in many year. Repuon-
cans would have liked to match this dead
line, too, but they were committed before
the Democratic decision was made pub
lie, so the COP had to make the best OF
a situation that was certainly scheduled
to get them off to bad start IN this
election year. aoa
But the fact remains that the COP
convention made political history for the
party down there in Philadelphia. 1t
really brought the party out OF the DOL
drums as none of its leaders really
thought could be done. And it also pro-
vided the party with its first high-class
candidates in many year, even lnclud-
ing those halcyon ones when the Repup-
licans were winning without making
real effort You could afford to throw
any kind of candidate at the people IN
those days. Any thing labeled COP was
bound to win.

week has got to be speeded up to remark
ably high pitch to equal the Republicans.
And leaders know this and hope to produce
results. Once let the proceedings slacken
and the nationwide interest that attended
the Philadelphia meeting will speedily
evaporate. The third term bugaboo, OF
course, is bound to be selling point; SO
is the possibility that Democrats will
settle on a new leader to take Roosevelt's
place. But there's got to be showmanship
exhibited next week and there's got to be
whole-hearted Democratic participation
in the proceedings.
There is only one factor that may up
set all of the Republican and Democratic
hopes and aspirations, even when the
candidates are lined up - that's war.
A war in which we are involved would
change any political campaign into
mere detail.

1900 Community Forests

The idea of a town owning forest for
the pleasure and profit of it's citizens
seems new and strange But it is not. In
1870 Newington N. H., planted a COM
munity forest and when Troy, Me-, re-
Gently established one on 1000 acres Of
tax-delinquent land it became the 15O0th
community in the United States to have
a community-owned woodlot. The Amer
lean Municipal Association reports that
more than 100000 acres are thus owned
and operated. Some 40 of them are ex-
tensive enough to justify employment OF
a professional forester.
Sometimes ownership is in the city
generally, sometimes it is assigned to
schools or hospitals - Wisconsin has $50
school forests in which the school chill
dren do the work under supervision.
Growth of timber crops for profits is the
ultimate aim. But there are byproducts
of hunting fishing and recreation. In
many cases it has been means of Great
ing assets out of tax-delinquent lands
which we're liabilities.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-07-10
Shared Advantage, Shared Burden

The forthcoming Pan American meet
ing at Havana Is going to provide some
very practical tests Of mutually. If the
American nations are to cooperate for
their common advantage, 1t Is obvious
that they ought to share responsibilities.
For instance: DR.. Oswaldo Aranha,
Brazils foreign minister, has indicated
that he does not believe European posses
sions In the Americas ought to change
hand "by unilateral action" Translating
that from diplomatic into English, II
means that the United States alone ought
not 10 grab such an island as Martinique
10 keep It from falling into German or
italian hands. Any ouch grab ought TO
be made In an orderly way by all the
American nations acting together, and
becoming Joint trustees for the territories.
That Is right enough. and We believe the
United States would 50 along with IT, But

With Pennington preparing to cele-
brate the 300th anniversary of its found
ing next October Waterbury naturally
becomes interested and starts to spec
ulate on a similar observance. Actually
this city will not participate in a similar
event until 1874, because Pennington
was quite a settlement by the time it's
first Inhabitants started to feel crowded
and began spreading out in different
directions. A fortunate day it was when
the first Pennington people came over
Southington Mountain and visioned here
in the Naugatuck Valley settlement OF
their own. Their course was not smooth
one, however, and it was many years be-
fore this initial settlement grew to the
point where it could be regarded as per-
manent and its people could ask to be
set off from Pennington as an integral
township. We take pride in Farming
tons ripe old age here in Waterbury, for
we are closely akin in history.
