A Thought for Today
Chance for Peace at Hand

There's only one war left in Europe now, and as it stands, it's not much of war at all. It's a sort Of diplomatic squeeze-play contest. The remarkable thing about this war is that no one really wants to fight. Everyone is building big guns and deadly bombers and heavily armed vessels, but neither side wants to use them. Behind 1t all must be the faint ray of hope for peace. No one wants that hope to blow up just yet. And if both sides WANT peace, there can BE peace. All it takes is little affirmative action.
 From all appearances, Hitler doesn't want to send his bombing planes over to London and Paris The British and French don't care to send theirs to Ber- lin. Germany doesn't even want to try cracking the Maginot line, and the allies would rather not try an offensive against the Westwall. Mussolini isn't enthusiastic about jumping into the war with his axis partner Aside from curbing the Subma- rire and mine menace, Britain isn't aIx- ious to get into any major naval scraps.
 Neutral nations such as Switzerland, Belgium, the Netherlands, Denmark, Norway and Sweden are determined to keep out of the argumet. Men have died in this war, and for their families the tragedy is very real. But it isn't war as we have learned to think of it. The SnoW- ball of hatred hasn't got so far down the hillside that it can't be stopped and pum- r1eled to pieces.
 There is no war, and there is no peace Europe is in state of suspended anima- ton that is almost as terrible as the roar of cannon if not quite as lethal. Maybe the Films had the right idea after all. They had nothing to gain by making peace, but they had much more to lose by continuing the fight. Both sides may have to swallow some of their pride, but it won't choke them. Finland had to do that, and so there are several thousands of people alive who would otherwise have been slaughtered.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-03-25
Auto Inspections

Connecticut prepares for resumption of the compulsory automobile tests with the knowledge that it's chief executive thinks that this method of combating accidents is not the answer to the prob- lem of highway safety. But there are many in this state who are convinced that the tests do and will always play an important part in safe driving. And it's interesting to note that other states, too, are enthused over compulsory tests and are putting them into effect.
 New York may shortly compel its 2,6OO,- 900 motor vehicles to undergo periodic tests to insure them against mechanical defects that might be contributory fac tors to highway accidents. New York would like to follow the same type of examination which is in effect now in Massachusetts and Pennsylvania. It differs from the tests to which Connec- ticut motorists have become accustomed in that the work is done at private gar ages licensed by the state for such work. This was proposed here, too.
 Some New York legislators, though, like the New Jersey tests which are ex- actly like Connecticut'S. And we note that the N. Y. Times says in this respect that . "New Jersey has been able to recoup the funds invested in it's inspec- tion service - and to do so at no greater cost to the individual motorist - 50 cents for each inspection that proposed under the Rapp bill. :" The Rapp bill is the one just approved in the New York Legislature lower house.
 Continuing the Times says, Studies in New York and other states indicate that only small proportion of cars involved in accidents can be proved definitely to i, have had mechanical defects. Neverthe- , less, it is worth while to bring to light any defects which may be potential dangers. An expenditure of 50 cents twice year for this purpose - if the inspection is well administered - should 7 be welcomed rather than opposed by the motoring public"
The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-03-25

control to the valley it's up to the state authorities to prepare for the worst. General Wadhams, who is far from an alarmist, points out that conditions are such that river waters may reach flood proportions within the next month.
 All the governmental agencies that can be mustered into service at such time are included in the plan that is now ready for higher-up sanction and ap- proval. It is impossible to prevent rivers from rising and flooding private property that may lie in their path, but efforts can be made to be ready for such an event. Of primary interest is the fact that adequate warnings are to be given in regions commonly affected by floods through careful watch of climatic condi- tionS and rising rivers waters at the source of these streams.
 Such precautions never can replace adequate flood control, but it's encour- aging to know that Connecticut is pre- pared for the worst at flood season and will face its problems armed instead of just sitting back and waiting for Uncle Sam to calm the troubled waters.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-03-25
Remember the Purge"

It was almost inevitable that, while Congress was talking about the proposed extensions to the Hatch "clean politics" act, someone should remember the presi- dential purges of 1888. The restrictions on political activity imposed on govern mental workers, and now proposed for state workers paid partly with federal funds, preclude the President and his cabinet.
 Nevertheless, the moral responsibility of these officers to accept the same kind of treatment meted out to lesser federal employees is very plain. Senators and representatives who fall out of grace with any administration have right to ex- pect that their fate be left solely in the hands of the voters. They have an equal right to resent any executive meddling in affairs that are strictly state business.

Dancing Away Your Problems

The beat of tom-toms in the jungle is said to have led many persons to the brink of insanity. At the Bellevue Psy- chiatric hospital in Boston, however, psychologists have discovered that jungle drums ad music may be the means of leading problem children" back to normality.
 The dances, which the youngsters are urged to join, have revealed many of their inner problems, according to Dr. Lau- retta Bender ad Miss Franziska Boss, who have been conducting the experiments. If the jitterbug craze, which is allied to jungle dancing, can help us recover some of the sanity we lost during the past 20 years, maybe there's something in it after all,
The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-03-25
Flood Precautions

In an effort to be prepared for any type of flood conditions throughout Con- necticut this spring General Sanford H. Wadhams, secretary of the State Flood . Control Commission, has prepared and submitted to Governor Raymond E. Bald win plan which will be put into oper- ation should conditions warrant 1t. Natur- ally everyone hopes that there will be no occasion for any such emergency plan this year, but we must be prepared for the worst at any time in view of ex- .isting conditions throughout the Con- necticut River Valley and watershed.
 Connecticut does not want to experi- ence anything like the last flood of sev- eral years ago with it's loss of life and tremendous property damage. And since the federal government is still fooling around with the idea of granting flood

Before the end of 1940 every one of the states five tuberculosis sanatoria will be operating at full capacity in new and enlarged plants. It is estimated that by this time all of the construction work now going on at these institutions will have been finished and the new quarters occu- pied by patients and personnel. This will have great effect in lowering the waiting lists that have prevailed for many years now at all of the sanatoria. There is only one regret that The Democrat has. It's too bad that Dr. Stephen J. Maher could not have lived to see the accomp- lishment of this great buildings program which he visioned years ago and worked for throughout the many years he was member and chairman of the State Tuberculosis Commission

schoolmaster,s power to punish the tardy, looks hopefully at the swing ing doors to the Senate cloak room But still he has only a score of scholars, and he needs 49 be- fore the session can begin. If he gets through Wheeler, White and Wiley before that number is reached, he must find the absence of a quorum, and start to call the entire list again.
 It takes only seven minutes, to run the roll-call at fast pace, but Clerk Crockett consumes fifteen minutes this time, just to give the boys a break. He pauses as long as ten seconds between names,
 At the end of the list he makes a hurried count, and whips the tally back to the Vice President, declaring that 49 members have answered to their names. Actual ly, there are only 30 memoers on the floor, but Crockett knows an- other 20 will pop in soon, and he gives them liberal leeway that they never got in school.

informed the State Department about fifteen days ago that they would have to close up tie con- sulatcs by March 20.
 This gave one week to pack up records, furniture, close the pri- vate apartments of the American staff and get them all out of Po- land. So the State Department re- piled that the time was too short.
 The Germans, however, were immovable. They said the consult ateS would have to be closed March 20.
 At first, some of the more forceful minds in the State De- partMent proposed that notice be given Germany to close her consulate general in San Fran- cisco by March 20. But more colnplacent State Department minds opposed, and, as usual, th6g had their way.
 Germany did not say so, but of- ficials are convinced that the con- sulates were closed because the Nazis did not want American of- ficial witnesses to what was going on in Poland.
