A Thought for Today
A Wider Parkway

Motorists who have occasion to use the Merritt Parkway and those roads lead ing from it in WestcheSter County ot New York State will be glad to learn that plans have been approved for modern izing the Hutchinson River Parkway. This is the direct continuation of the Merritt Parkway and it is most noticeable that the roadway is of another year when driving along it. It is four lanes in width, but there is no dividing section for traffic bound in opposite directions.
 It is now proposed to widen the entire parkway so that dividing strip may be placed between the lanes of traffic. This is quite project, but probably can be ac- complished without interfering with orderly traffic procedure. We don't inn agine that the Legislature of New York will hesitate very long in approving such a step. It is quite in keeping with mod ern highway construction and partlcu- larly true of the type of roadway such as WeStchester County pioneered ln the East.
 It is planned to finance the parkway improvement plan by continuing the tolls at the fleetwood viaduct on the Cross County Parkway for twelve more years. Money will be borrowed immedi- ately to pay off the remaining debt on this highway overpass; then the toll col lections will be used to defray retirement of this debt as well as to pay for the cost of changing over the Hutchinson River Parkway. Such improvements really come under the head of defense road ways

thereafter remain immobile forever and ever. The Supreme Court has re- versed itself. But let's go back over the history of that reversal. Nearly 9 years ago, Congress passed law prohibiting shipment in interstate commerce of the products of child labor A test case, the famous Hammer vS. Dagenhart, was carried up to the Supreme Court. That court decided that the constitutional power of Congress to regulate interstate commerce was not sufficient to justify the law But the vigorous dissent ot Justice Holmes and BrandeiS was backed by large body of public opinion.
 The years pass In world that bears little relation socially to that of 1918, similar test is made. And now the court unanimously decides otherwise, and specifically ayers that the 1918 decision was unsupported by any provision of the constitution and "should be and now is overruled" Does this mean that the Supreme Court is itself capriciouS and unstable? Not at all. A great deal of water has gone over the dam since 1918 = a troubled and tumultuouS 23 years. The court has simply proved that it, too, can move with the times, and read the handwriting that is written large before us.
 That does not mean that the coulI should literally follow the election re- turns, be responsive to the shifting play of short-term political overturns or mo- mentary passions. But it does mean, and the assurance is good that the court can read the constitution in terms of the larger sweeps of social movement. No body wants the Supreme Court to boo up and down with the waves. But It IS reassuring to see that it can ride with the tides.

Not Too Amateurish

Some disparaging remarks are being dropped by the press about the conduct of the American Minister to Bulgaria, George H. Earle. In Sofia recently MT. Earle engaged in a brief altercation with a German officer in a restaurant MT. Earle, according to most of the press reports, had requested the orchestra to play "It's Long Way to Tipperary" We don't believe that he did it with the 1n- tent of disturbing the feelings Of anyone present and we certainly intend to con- tinue to believe this until he says differ ently himself.
 But anyway the upshot of this was to arouse the feelings of at least one Ger man present to the point where he ob- jected not merely Strenuously but by a display of force which consisted in hurl- ing champagne bottle at the American Ministers head. MT. Earle responded as perhaps any American would under similar circumstances. He took a poke" at the bottle-tosser. All of this is, of course, not in the best style of the diplo- matic corps to be sure. A diplomat must be that at every turn of the road, even though he may be duclzing champagne bottles at the same time.
 The Hartford Courant thinks that the incident puts MT. Earle in the same class with "'Joe' Davies in Moscow and Tony Riddle in Warsaw and Jimmy Cromwell in Ottawa" who are rated amateurs in diplomacy, but long on wealth and po- litical ambition and political availability. There may have been better way out ot the Sofia incident than that chosen by MT. Earle, but we'll wager there aren't very many Americans who would have liked to have read that Mr. Earle proved diplomatic when that champagne bottle was thrown at him and let it smash itself on his head. We rather like the fact that he ducked and came right back with an upraiSed fist.

Fairfield County coroners have had way of pointing out public responsibility for violent deaths along the highways Years ago the late Coroner John Phelan used to point out that sidewalks along the highways might have averted fatal ity. He was one of the foremost adVo- cates of these sidewalks or paths, but didn't live to see the day that they were generally adopted Now Coroner Theo- dore F. Steiber finds that death on the Merritt Parkway was due to inadequate precautions" by the State Highway De partment. A passenger was killed when a car crashed into the rear of depart ment truck by the side of the road. The precautions to warn approaching traffic of the presence of the truck by the road side and of men working nearby weren't sufficient where speed limit of 50 miles per hour prevails, the coroner said in hls finding. Here is ample warning for more protection against similar accl- dents on other types of roadways.

What the Judges Say It Is."

We are under a written constitution, but the constitution is what the judges say it is. That classic phrase of conStl- tutional lore never was more aptly illus trated than in the unanimous Supreme Court decision upholding constitutional ity of the Wage-Hour law. The law pro- viding a national floor under wages and ceiling over hours (and by implication national child labor law, both as con- cerned with production substantially af- fecting interstate commerce, are now ruled constitutional.
 But in 1918 this was not so. The writ ten constitution has not literally changed. The times, and the judges, have changed. And so the constitution has for practical purposes changed because the judges say 1t has, though it's literal wording remains unaltered on the printed page. There is nothing about this to cause concern. Certainly it was never intend ed that the constitution should enclose the nation in an iron mold. The reason for a written Constitution is to give stability, to limit powers, and to assure that changes shall not be violent or capricious. It was never meant to choke off all change.
 Our system Of permitting the Supreme Court the final say on whether laws accord with the constitution Is also q product of reason. But here again lt was never intended that a decision once reached by the Supreme Court must

Another Tide Reversed

For scores of years, America poured each year into Europe golden tide. On 1t floated the thousands of tourists who liked to summer on the continent or make the grand tour" about which they could spend the rest of their lives talking. But in 194O for the first time, receipts from visitors to the United States from Europe and the Mediterranean area exceeded what U. S. tourists spent in those areas.
 Of course the whole thing was very small last year. some $6,O0O,oOO com pared to the quarter of billion which American tourists used to scatter over Europe every year. The amazing thing is that there should have been any such travel at all Such losses in trade and intercourse the warning nations of Eu- rope and Asia have not only brought on themselves, but imposed largely on the rest of the world.

with a smile playing around his lips, his anger somewhat appeased, he replied" I like boys in the ab- stract but I don't like them in the concrete"
 The same thing used to be said of a great statesman. He was ac- cuSed of loving humanity in the abstract but being very cold and unfeeling toward individuals in the concrete. Many people love God in the abstract but are indignant when someone suggests that they love Him in the concrete by being de. cent and generous in their dealings with folks. Sometimes we hear people offering up the most fervent prayers for the conversion of the heather at the other end of the world, yet they arc too shy to say c word of kindly counsel or to testify to the saving power of Christ before some neighbor, the current of whose life Is running in the wrong direction.
 Idealism in the abstract Is always appealing. It is only when we can bo patient with others, as God iB continually patient with us, that VIC demonstrate the depth and sheer. ity of our belief.

large staff of high-salaried as- sistants, but so far only six defense housing projects have been completed and he had nothing to do with starting them.
 They were begun as regular projects by the U. s. Housing Authority and were shifted to de- fense purposes when USHA saw they were urgently needed. There are 1883 units in these projects, located at Montgomery. Ala, Pen sacola, Fla, Corpus Christi, Tex, Portsmouth. Va, Columbus, Ga, and Mort Moline, Ill.
 Defense Homes Corporation, a $10,000, 900 REC agency created last August, has been little more effectual than Palmer. Sam Hus- band, banker friend whom Com merce Secretary Jesse Jones in- stalled as head of the Defense Housing Corporation, had no pre- vious housing expereince and has run his agency like counting house.
 Although working at the job nearly six months, Husband has just started his first project, at Jacksonville, Fla. and even this wasn't on his own initiative. The undertaking was organized locally before he took hold of it.
 NOTE - In one of his gram dil0quent press releases the other day, Palmer declared, "One of the many problems bearing upon the efficiency of defense production is adequate housing for defense and related workers and their dependents. If satisfactory dwelling places are not available within reason able committing distances of employment, production ef- ficiency will be materially re- duced."

The argument between legislators and Mayor Jasper McLevy of Bridgeport could continue endlessly without anything be- ing accomplished. But one can't resist, especially if one is Waterburian, to gloat over the neat point that Senator Mlchael V. Blansfield made in his retort to the McLevy criticism of him. The Waterbury senator showed that if he and his COL leagues were to be blamed for anything that happened in Waterbury years ago when refunding bonds were granted this city and if Mayor McLevy intimates there should be no repetition of the same, then Senator Blansfield and his colleagues are right in opposing Bridgeport'S efforts to fall into the same error CD.

He talked a reat deal about the "new order" in Europe, to be formed under German protection after the war is over. All the countries were to be together in a United States of Europe, with Germany preserving law and or der.
 In this picture, Germany need- ed sort of deputy sheriff in the Balkans, and Hitler went on to say that this deputy sheriff could be Jugoslavia. Bulgaria, he said, was too small, Rumania too unstable. Therefore, Jugoslavia, if she cooperated with Germany, would be made in effect the real ruler of the Balkans.
 Hitler also promised the two Jugoslav statesmen the Greek port of Salonika with the sur- rounding Greek Macedonia. He also promised that their country could chop off more of Albania, and finally he hinted - though he made no definite promise = that Jugoslavia might get back Plume and perhaps even Trieste at Italian expense. (Fiume is the famous Croatian seaport over which the Jugoslavs and Italians nearly went to war as a result of the Versailles peace treaty0
 These Hitler promises were tempting, but the JugOslavs are under no deIpsiOn that in the thew order" Hitler could not move in on them immediately deputy sheriff or no deputy sheriff.
 What really counted with Jugo- S1avia was Turkey.

 The Jugoslavs and Turks have been working closely together for some years and the Jugoslavs knew that they could not possibly re- sist Hitler unless the Turks would stand with them.

Selected Poem
SEA ROAD

Billy B. Cooper in the New York Times) The cliffs drop sheer along the stretch ol peach' Marrow and jagged in the sprawling sea; The ocean rages just beyond the reach
 Of road that curves and winds deliberately, Shunting itself abruptly to the edge
 Of sea horizon; twisting back once more To wend along an overhanging ledge
 Of crumbling rock above the tapping shore. Aeons ago the sea gull made its home
 Among the boulders on the cliffs rough lace, Securely nested high above the foam
 Of water in that safe, secluded place. But now road Is carved along the way.
 Known then only to somber birds on high; And travellers climb its rugged height each day To gather to themselves the lonely skyl

THAT PARKWAY TUNNEL
(Meriden JournaD

(Meriden JournaD
 It can be done, is the answer to the question of whether the state could tunnel through West Rock in New Haven for the Wilbur Cross Parkway between that city and Meriden. Test borings have shown the Rock to be composed largely of basalt or trap rock, which is what might have been supposed consider ing all the trap rock formation in that section.
 The cost of the tunnel job has been estimated at $600000, which is quite bit of money for a piece of roadway, HOO feet long, but this would be 173 feet below the surface and would save the expense of a longer parkway going around the Rock.
 Commissioner Cox was first to suggest the tunnel and it has taken New Haveners quite while to get used to the idea. Their fears of damage to the landscape have now been pretty well dissipated, and they think the tunnel approach might be beautified so as to make good ad- vertisement for the city.
 The tunnel will be long job and 1t is possible that the Meriden by-
