No Loopholes

The Supreme Court of Errors, State of Connecticut, has upheld the constltu- tionality of the law on birth control. The court by it's decision, which was concurred in by all the justices, refuses to uphold the Superior Courts ruling providing for exception from the law. It refuses to be- lieve that the Legislature at any time gave indication that invited exception to be taken to the law which has been consist ently upheld since it was challenged by birth control advocates almost twenty years ago.
 It is encouraging in many respects to read the Supreme Court finding and to learn that this judicial body feels that when the Connecticut anti-birth control law was enacted and later sustained by legislative vote there was real intent to have and enforce such a statute without any exception whatsoever. This would, 1t seems to this writer, indicate that over and beyond the mere legality of the proposition of anti-birth control there was grave legislative concern for the moral side of the issue.
 Birth control has it's legal and it's moral angles Connecticut has taken the very defensible position that legally and morally birth control cannot be counte- nanced through the instrumentality of the medical profession as clearing house for the dissemination of such information and aid as would defeat the very purpose of matrimOny. It is no easy thing to overthrow a natural law and to sustain arguments therefor. Whether or not the Supreme Court took this into consdera- tion or had it in mind, it at least upheld law that was not conceived in ignor- ance nor in dark ages. Its continued support is very serious matter to which all citizens should give much thought.

What Is The Answer?

Governor Raymond E. Baldwin contln- ues to impede the efficient conduct of auto tests in Connecticut by again Voicing a fear that reopening of inspection lanes may not solve the problem of highway safety Tuesday night the governor made a statement to this effect. It isn't the first time either as the governor as early as the fall of 1888 was pointing out this fact and making the elimination ot the compulsory inspections plank in hlS campaign platform.
 But with election it became different matter and since 1889 Governor Baldwin has joined in the move to have the lanes reopened and the test restarted. Naturally most people concluded that he had changed his opinion on the subject of the tests. As it stands now he is just as much opposed to them as he was when he was seeking election. He maintains, though, that the Legislature did not remove the compulsory examination law from the statute books and that he must see it enforced as chief executive of the state.
 This may be proper attitude to take, but we don't see how law can really be enforced as it should when the governor of the state announces that he must see enforced law that he doesn't think IS any good How much regard for any such law will the majority of motorists have under these circumstances? Per, sonally we don't think the governor should have made known his viewpoint about the safety tests with the opening of the lanes only week or so away If he wants to campaign on the issue, all well and good but virtually telling auto mobile owners that they are to have law forced on them isn't quite the thing to do. It invites disrespect all around,

More Than a Bit Crude

A writer to the letter forum of the New York Times called attention to the great amount of foolishness that ema- mated from radios during the week before St. Patrick Day. Much of this foolishness had to do with the celebration of this feast day in the Roman Catholic Church. We agreed Whole-heartedly with what the letter writer had to complain about. In a few words it was a criticism of the radio announcers and performers who labored to talk with what they certainly thought must be the purest Irish brogue extant.
 Now we do not claim to be an authority on language dialects, but we do have enough sense to realize that any race can be extremely mortified not to mention disgusted by the patent efforts of speak CTS and entertainers to initiate racial char acteristics. The so-called Irish brogue imitator is one of the greatest offenders imitator is one of the greatest offenders well-Spoken as any on the face of the earth. Proof that the Irish are long-suffering race is evinced in their constant fore bearance against those who claim to be employing brogue.
 Said the writer to the Times: The

radio programists apparently sought to outdo themselves this week with so-called Irish outbursts in doubtful honor of St. Patrick's Day. Most of them were hor- rible, not to say insulting. Ireland, heaven knows, had and has her poets and composers; why not, then, in making up an Irish program, include at least few of those songs which have become clas- sics? Why use more or less modern" maudlin SentimentalitieS - well, maybe we'd better not mention titles.
 Another and even more important matter why do these announcers feel called upon, when announcing Irish pro- grams, to adopt heavy brogue. If they were called upon, which the Lord forbid, to announce the King and Queen of Eng land, would they try to simulate Cock ney accent? If they were announcing that prominent Italian family of the crossword puzzles, would they adopt "wotsa da mat" form of speech?? Would they refer to George Washington as "de foist President of de Younited States?
 Don't any of them know that Ireland is EuropeS oldest seat of learning and culture? Don't they know that even the English acknowledge that the purest Eng fish is spoken in Dublin?"
 Brother, them are our sentiments to crossed "t'.

international morality. Popular opinion is widely befogged in the more comfortable countries by the childish notion that an aggressive war is wicked but defensive war is righteous. They are, of course, precisely equal in moral quality, so long as war is the only adequate instrument by which vested wrongs can be righted and national needs supplied. The next rational step toward tolerable world peace would be the broadcasting of this truth throughout Great Britain, France, and the United States. It is already familiar to the peoples of Japan and her fellow aggressorS.
 Whether you have been able to accept all the things said thus far in defense of Japan by our alleged ly impartial observer, perhaps you will agree with him that any dur able and worthful harmony among the powerful nations depends abso- lutely upon the achievement of continuing fexibility in their rela- tionships, territorial and other. The outstanding menace in the present world situation is that this indis- pensable flexibility seems to be at- tainable by war, but by no other means. Japan must expand in the Far East Germany must secure more and morc "lebensraum. Italy must supplement her Eleager re- sources by gaining an empire. These r war r-breedirg "musts," and many others like them, are confronted to- day by equally peremptory must nots" from the possessing nations; and there exists no tribunal which can adjust these disputes in ra- tional and equitable fashion. It is not strange, therefore, that reason and equity are being contemptuoals- ly disregarded by the demanding na- tions as inadequate instruments of national policy. Japan tries to be realistic, and she feels justified in following the means actually used by the empire-buildlng nations, rather than their present day preachments.
 But you may fairly ask, What good is done by lifting some of the war-guilt from Japan? The Far Eastern problem is not solved there by, nor is much light thrown on what the United States of America should do about It. Are we not left, as before. lined up in two opposing groups? One group fayoring gen. eral policy of participation, in order to further our interests i'll China by saving her from Japan; and the other group advising our rapid withdrawal from the whole Far Eastern controversy"
 Our so-called impartial observer might suggest, in reply, that we join

A Job-Few Applicants

The City of New York has perfectly good $4,500-a-year teaching job open in it's school system - but there were only three persons on hand prepared to take an examination for the post. The job is that of teaching radio communications. The same situation developed couple of times before when teaching positions were available in other technical fields.
 The trouble is that those people in the radio communications field haven't got the necessary credits for teaching. And those people with the academic prepara- ton aren't qualified for technical subjects People who take up radio and other technical subjects usually do so through the medium of short-term courses. Those who spend more time in school shy away from technical subjects and concentrate on the more popular fields How much more needs to be done in the field of vocational guidance is evl- dent whenever something like the New York situation pops up.

We agree with Governor Raymond E. Baldwin that "ticket-fiXing" is particu- larly bad form of citizenship. We indulge in it all too often. We demand it as right, almost as if it were ours by virtue of the fact that we have paid our tax bill Un- fortunately it's results go much deeper than do the mere payment of bill to the city. Every time a demand is made on a certain official to have motor law violation overlooked we contribute to the downfall of this same law No law is any good if it can't be enforced. The theory that laws are made to be broken is one of those modern ones with no foundation. There should be "equality for alp under the motor vehicle laws just as there are under other types. A persons position should not entitle him to certain exemp- tions with regard to laW-breaking. When we transgress, we should pay with the full knowledge that there is penalty for the same. All public officials should cooper ate to eliminate the system that sets up castes of laW-breakers - those who pay; those who are excused.

Mayor Vincent Scully is on sound ground when he mentions the fact that municipalities must do something about parked cars during heavy snoWstorms. It's problem that can't be disposed of in a minute. There should be serious con- sideration given to the many suggestions that have been forthcoming of recent years that night-and-day parking along certain streets must be strictly regulated and clamp put on motorists who in- dulge in it so freely The recent storms proved conclusively that parked cars are a hazard during a snoWstorm and remain so when they are showed in at the curb along much-traveled roadway Whether or not the city should take it upon itself to confiscate such vehicles is debatable. Other cities do just this thing, though.

JAPAN SEEN AS SCAPEGOAT FOR ALL THE SINS
 OF AGGRESSION
New London, Conn,
 March 21, 1940.

ANOW LNAAANAAb ONAAAA't
 March 21, 1940
 To Editor of the Democrat:
 What can be said in defense of the recent policies of Japan in the Far East? So much has been said in their disparagement that the American people can easily use Japan as scapegoat for all the sins of all the imperialistic powers operating in her neighborhood. It seems timely, therefore, that argu- ments in her behalf should be of- fered, not by Japanese propagand- ists, but by Americans who regard her outrages against China as in- tolerably cruel and unproductive.
 An impartial observer-if such a being were available anywhere on this earth, to give us counsel-might raise the question, Why should even the citizens of the United States regard as intolerable, when used by Japan, the methods by which all the great empires have been establish cd, not excepting the American empire?" Conquest of the weaker by the stronger in war has always been the means used for assigning the desirable parts of the earth to great nations. The United States itself began its national life as a thin strip along the eastern coast of North America. It fought Great Britain for it's independence, and thus won also it's expansion to the Mississippi river. It drove Spain out of Florida by threats of war;. and it bought from Napoleon the trans Mississippi empire of Louisiana which he had just stolen from Spain. It conquered from helpless Mexico a rich addition to round out it's southwestern expan- sion. And all along, it tricked and slaughtered the aborigines out of possession of their homelands throughout the whole breadth of the North American continent. Does this not resemble rather closely the policy of ruthless conquest by which Japan has been trying to supply her vastly more urgent economic needs? The impartial observer could hardly fail to note that Japan Is not alone among the great powers in defending, on strictly moral grounds, their present aggressionS. With them, Japan maintains that the moral right to keep on possess ing the better regions of the earth is directly balanced by the right to fight for and seize these regions. It is amazing that so few people in America will admit this axiom of

Martin is a dark-horse possibility, but that depends entirely on con- vention developments. At present he is not in their picture. They will make no decision until later in the spring when they will get together to talk things over. HEY, RUBE!
 A pink-lemonade- hot-dog variation of the "pass the biscuits, pappy" type of campaign is giv- ing the 22nd Illinois congressional district the maddest primary scramble of the year.
 Genial, placid Rep. Edwin M. Schaefer, the Democratic incumbent, faces veritable three ring circus in his fight for re- nomination. These are his op- ponents:
 Henry N. Frees, former circus juggler and clown, who makes campaign speeches standing on his head and has promised to crawl from BelleVille to St. Louis on his hands and knees if defeated.
 A. l.. BedeI, former WPA time keeper, who is stumping with a Hindu magician and a menagerie of chickens, rabbits, ducks, pigs and ponies. A Coughlinite, Bedel is propounding the novel idea that the hot weather of July can be averted by switching the names of January and July on the cal- endar.
