BOND ISSUE MAY. PASS NEXT WEEK.
Authorization of Both Houses Expected Under
 Suspension of Rules

waterbury's $2,1o0,OoO bond issue authorization may be passed by both houses of the General Assembly next week under suspension of the rules. Senator Edward P. Egan, who offered the bond bills, and Senator Michael v. Blansfield, chairman of the finance committee, which yes- terday voted unanimously to report favorably on the measures, were to- day considering @ plan to ask that the rules be suspended to allow a vote in both chambers either Tues- day or Wednesday.
 Under ordinary procedure, the fin- ance committees report would be tabled for printing and the calendar when offered in the Senate next Tuesday. It would then be on the calendar for three days before com- ing up for vote, then, after pas- sage, have to go through the same procedure in the House.
 The two local senators will prob ably ask Republican leaders to agree to suspension of the rules so that the bond bills can be passed in the Senate immediately, then sent to the House for action there.
 One bill would allow the city to issue $2,000,000 in water bonds, to finance construction of a new pipe line, reservoir and dam. The other would authorize the issuance of $l00,000 in trade school bonds.

New York Especial l)-All Europe is on short rations. Only tiny Por- tugal still commands normal food supply. Before the first of the next harvests can be reaped, five months must elapse. In some countries, re- maining food stocks will have been exhausted long before, when condi- tions of slow starvation which al- ready exist will become actual famine. Moreover, in several Euro pean countries the harvest covers only a few months consumption.
 The above map has been drawn to bring the threatened areas into relief. AS may be seen at a glance, the British Isles, Germany, Italy and the Balkans, although all on rations, are not in danger. But the little, western democracies, always dependent on oversesse supplies and now cut of by the blockade, are already on semi-starvation basis.
 Darkest, immediate spots in the picture are Belgium and Poland (the latter because of war devas- tation and partitioning). Here, actual famine already prevails People are dying of sheer hunger. But Spain, France, Holland, Nor.

FOREIGN POLICY
 NEEDED-ACAR

Boston. March 15 -- (U.P) - The main threat to this nations Dem- ocracy Is not the governments for egn policy but it's lack of one, Her bert Agar. editor of the Louisville, Ky, Courier-Journal, said today in speech prepared for delivery be- fore the foreign policy association.
 The Pulitzer prize-wining histor- ian and novelist said there still was altogether too much vagueness with respect to our relations with the other great nations of the earth ."
 There continues to be-" he add ed, "a lack of clarity as to just what are our aims in the field of interna- tional affairs. It is in this vagueness that danger to our American way of life exists
 A true foreign policy, he contin- ued, would have to be aimed either at winning the war or keeping out of war. After months of compara- tive inactivity we are finally aiming toward the former, toward winning the war-but we still don't say so clearly and simply"

way and Finland are not far be- hind. The above may will now dark en quickly from month to month. The terrible food emergency in Europe, so long forecast by food experts. is now but step away.
 Spain may be able to get some help from the Argentine. In the case of the other countries, how ever, their main hope seems to be the United States. Like the Ar genuine, the United States not only holds large, surplus carryovers of foodstuffs of which 1t would be glad to get rid, but each one of these starving countries holds in this country frozen dollar balances ample to pay for the food they need. Belgium, alone, has several hundred million dollars in assts here. It is then primarily ques- tion whether 1t can be arranged to pass this food through the block ade If, at the European eLd, 1t can be taken in control by a tight, neutral agency which will supervise its distribution to non-belligerent, civilian population only and a guarantee that 1t will not fall into other hands,

 benders Resume Play
Washington Hill

Everything is in readiness for the Washington Park Community clubs St. Patrick's celebration which takes place tonight at the Washington Park Community house. The deco rations will be put in place this afternoon and it is sure to be one of the finest the club has ever had. John B. Cuddy and John Whalen are co-chairmen of this event and they have both worked hard to make 1t worth while.
 A brief entertainment, starting at 8 o'clock, will precede the danc- ing. William O'Brien and Miss Mary Boyles will both sing old Irish songs, as only they can do 1t. Prof. William Ahearn, who conducts a dancing class every Sunday after noon at the Community house, will have some of his pupils dancing the Irish folk dances so dear to the hearts of everyone from the "Ole Dart"
 Jimmie Fitzgeralds orchestra will be in readiness to play both for the Irish dancing as well as the mod ern style, so the young people will also have a chance to enjoy them selves.
 His Honor, Mayor Vincent A. Scully, whose father was one of the organizers of Washington Park Community club, is expected to pay a visit as much as his time will allow, as of course he is also in- vited to all the other celebrations throughout the city. Senator Egan is also a member of the club and no doubt if time will permit, will be on hand also.
