why Roosevelt recently entertained Princess Jullana at Hyde Park.
 Most important factor, however, and the reason why the British and Roosevelt insisted on the occupation of Dutch Guiana, was North Africa and BraSil, h
 1nslae fact is that although she United states ls developing about l2 excellent alr bases in the bulge of Brasil, Brazil 50 far has mot permitted U. $. troops t0 occupy them. Nor, for that matter, has any ether Latin American country allowed the entrance Oe soldlers.
 This face-shAt c Latin Amer. lean country doesn't want U. 8. troops on its soil--is most under standable, and the State Depart. ment doesn't want to press it. Af- ter all the United States for years has been looked upon with suS- pieion aS the Colossus Of the North. Furthermore no sovereign nation wants foreign troops on It's soil.
 Nevertheless, 1t was recalled that the downfall on the low countries was attributed in . measure to the fact that the Belgians, French and Dutch failed to have general staff talks In advance os the German attack, and the Belgians refused to permit French troops on theiF soil in advance.
 Therefore, the next best thing to having U. s. troops In Brazil was having them next deer in Dutch Guiana. So with the collapse ef General Wey. gand, and the Authorization of the vlchy government, Roosevelt moved.
 For Hitler in French. North Africa increases the danger to Braxl and South America. Also the Authorization of Vichy makes Q D. 8, move into French Guiana the next probable step.

On the Anxious Seat

Signs of disintegration within the Republican Party of Connecticut have < become so apparent that leaders are making the most strenuous, almost des- eperate, efforts to prevent complete ruin. @That much can be read between the lines of the latest announcement from State Chairman J. Kenneth Bradley. He has called upon National Chairman Joseph w. Martin to summon a policy-making con- ference that the aims of the party may Zoe restated, particularly with reference to cUrrent international affairs
 = Whether the minority party in Con- necticut is Republican or Democratic the fact remains that there must be mili- 3ant one. Without a strong minority party our type of popular government WallOws. That's the only way to express it. The controlling party grows fat and lazy at the expense of the voters. Public service becomes secondary to party and personal advancement; This has hap pcned wherever opposition from without has dwindled to just threat and nothing else.
 N There is no reason for the Republican Party in Connecticut to call it quits at this late date. It has every reason to be- lleve that its future is tied up with the future of this nation. Were the situation reversed and Democrats seeking sound footing on which to regain lost prestige arId h0nOrs we'd think and say the same. @of course, Mfr. Bradley singles out the European war as the one paramount issue nn which to define party policy, prob nbTv 70 swing away from Democratic ad- 1sal91aAkrmki0m fIa0amht. It's too late now f1r tho Republican party to adopt any .ssinnr Akzlaaita than Q has of very strongly

One Country, One Nation

An American citizen is free to go from sio one state to another, seeking to better X, himself. "Of course" you say. But
 that right has only now been clarified
 and broadened by the unanimous decision aaaof the United States Supreme Court. In ruling unconstitutional the California
 "anti.O OEie" law, the court has by inplica- ton ruled invalid similar laws in 27 other estates, all aimed at preventing entrance Unto those states of people without
 property.
 s Specifically, Fred F. Edwards took his esjobless brother-in-law from Texas into Cal @ifornia, where, after living with Edwards
 for 10 days, the brother-in-law received ss."assistance from the Farm Security Admin ,.s, istration. That made Edwards violator @of the California law against helping indi-
 gents enter California; he was convicted, .sand he appealed. Such law violates the v Constitution, the court now unanimously
 holds. But the court was not unanimous -.pn the reasons, Justice ByrneS, delivering the opinion (his first), decided that such
 law exceeded the proper police power" of 1.-the state, and fllrther, that 1t was an ur- Constitutional barrier to interstate com \ merce. Thus the courts ma ajority hitched s.Stiil another trailer to that venerable
 wagon, the commerce clause, with its pro-
 vision that Congress shall have power to
 regulate commerce with foreign nations and among the several states and with the Indian tribes"
 ,- Justice Douglas, speaking also for Jus ticeS Black and Murphy, traversed lottier ground to the same conclusion, paying no attention to the commerce clause. They cited the Fourteenth Amendment, that ". no state shall make or enforce any laws which shall abridge the privileges or inlmunities of citizens ." Justice Douglas ringingly said that the right of persons to move freely from state to state 2. occupies more protected position in our constitutional system than does the move 7. ment of cattle, fruit and steel ." and 1t would prevent citizen because he was poor from seeking new horizons in other states. The result would be substantial dlution of the rights of national citizen ship" Justice Jackson was equally vehe. raent in separate opinion: e.. we should :. say now and in no uncertain terms that 6 mans mere property status, without more, cannot be used by a state to test, qualify or limit his rights as a citizen of the United States"
 -no With that general proposition 1t Is hard to quarrel Yet states which have had an influx of the disinherited, with corre- |. spondingly heavy relief burden, will feel that some provision ought to be made to mitigate the burden. We are one people, one nation. The right of the people to seek opportunity where 1t may be found IS ,, rightly secured. Since the securing of this right is in the national interest, perhaps some way can be found for all the people ito share the burdens which result from inevitable shifts of population.

Selected Poem
RTRANGE REAsON

STRANGE REASON
 CWIlliam Vincent Seller in the Poets Corner
 Hartford Times) Not for awhile will the horsess hoofs Beat on the Autumn ground. Nor the fox be chased from his woodland derl- Nor the British lads climb the gold-thatched roofs At the hunting sound To shout at the red-coated hunters. Strange English autumn with a sleeping holnd' A silent hunting horn, A horse turned out to pasture And a red jacket never worn. Rhythmically, the chestnuts drop from their furry
 cases, Like polished jewels slithering through the trees And old men with worn, tired faces Gather the precious morsels from the leaves. This the harvest Of strange Autumn season, With great question and with no reason.

their places of business or buy their goods or how the local newspapers would like if the city employees would refuse to buy the local newspapers.
 1t makes me smile when hear the local politicians broadcast on the radio to patronize this and that charity drive. and then come out and say they can't afford Co give the city employees one cent pay raise. Well, if the city employees don't give they are cheap pikers.
 I read that they are going to drop the tax rate MTs. Well, to the small home owner 1t will mean one or two dollars e year, enough to buy Q few bags of peanuts. Perhaps 1t will mean a lot to the Taxpayers League, I don't know. But what difference does 1t make anyway; the raise in the water rate will take the dollar or two back again. We mothers read Of other men getting i0% raises and Christmas bonuses. But city ems ployes get nothing. Is 1t fair? Per- hAps the present administration is doing the best 1t can and can't give raises. Bus if they can't, would suggest they resign and give some one who can, Q chance to at least try.

Freuuenters of Bear Mountain Inn and park the other side of the well-known Bear Mountain bridge across the Hudson River will be sorry to learn that the skat- ing rink just the other side of the inn has been destroyed by fire. Only heroic ef- forts by firemen prevented the blaze spreading to the inn itself. The rink was a popular spot with sports enthusiasts Tn the summertime 1t was used for roller skating, but through the long New York winter months 1t provided ice skating. Not only was the rink ruined, but the plumbing for the artificial ice-making was destroyed. Looks like all the Bear Mountain visitors this year will have to go in for skiing.

 Happiness is something which grows up amid a multitude of right decisions and faithfully performed duties. Nothing seems to intrigue the spirit of happiness more completely than to encounter a man or woman indifferent to her hlandishmeuts. Such people she picks out to 0ver- Whelm with Joy. She always makes it her business to cali on those who not only are not expecting her, but are quite indifferent as t0 whether ahe calls or not.

WRITER THINKS IT'S UNFAIR TO OPPOSE RAISE FOR
 CITY EAGPL0YEs
Waterbury, Conn, November 2T, loAi.

Waterbury, Conn, November 37, ls41. Editor of The Democrat:
 I am writing this to tell you think the Taxpayers League Is very unfair in opposing a raise for the city employees. Also the local newspapers. And who Is going to suffer but the wives and children. saw a picture of one of the mem bers of the Taxpayers League enc dorsing a charity drive and short time ago read in a local paper where he was opposed to Q raise for city employees. Well, doesn't char ity begin at home2
 Tonight I heard a radio an- iaouncer say that the city help would not get 6 raise in pay. And few minutes after he announced that the cost of living had gone up 2S per cent. Well, what we wives and mothers would like to know is how we are going to stretch our money 30 we can meet that % per cent increase if our husbands don't get an increase in pay, will the Tax payers League, the radio announcer or our local newspapers tell us. We wish they wouldl
 I don't think any of the city eln- ployes are overepald except the heads of departments and city eEn- ployes have not had c raise tn pay in l2 or l4 years with but Q few exceptions.
 I understand that Bridgeport and Hartford are planning on giving city employees e dollar a day raise to meet the high cost of living. xS theyN can give it in those cities. why can't they give 1t hare? And if they need it in those cities why don't they need it here9
 And I don't read Of any Tax payers Keague OF their local news papers opposing it either.
 I wonder how the ZAxpayees' League would liks it f nil city ana- pleyes would x6ENee ze elFon,

 One surprise was that Rooee. velt know all about their closely guarded secret, This secret was that their original report, adatn- Antly rejected by the Brother hoods, was c last-mlnute com- promise and that none of tho mediAtors really approved of it, In fact they only agreed to it at the last minute to avoid . split decision,
 Another surprise was that tho President knew how bitterly the inedlators had wTangled among themselves.
 Most aE the medlatoEs were ? pEofossoFa, ThomMs Reed Powell of Harvard Law eoh0olI Walter L. Morse, dean oe Oregon Uni. VeFslty Law school, James Q, HenbElght Of Columbia univer- alty; Joseph M. Wllllts, RoOke. fNlleF Foundation; and Houston Thompsen, Washington attorney and ox.ohaiFman of the Federal Trade Commission.
 Despite the scholarly petitions Of the conferees, however, the atmosphere was anything but calm and cloistered. At one time the professors were SO hot un. der the collar that several of them almost came to blows.
 The Railroad Brotherhoods knew oil about tthis squahhling, and this was one of the big req sons for rejecting the report, The Brotherhoods also saw to 1t that Roosevelt learned about the dis- sension.
 Accofalng Co the information given Co him, the beard battled thFoWxh the whele night before . reluctant compromise report Was agreed on. That agreement was not reached until 8 .. m. the deaAllne when the report had to be in she hands Ok the printer.
 One time during the night.long wrAngle one of the Tnediators snapped, "Well, it looks Ake les aspirin, ceffeo or liquor, depend. ing on your taste."
 Throughout the battle, Prof. Morse, chairman os the board, pleaded with his colleagues for Q unanimous report. He warned that c dissent would be worse than no report at all. In the end his advice won, and the hodge-podge coFnpromise was put together.
 UNWANTED COMPROMISE
 The root of the Brotherhoods' unyielding opposition to the wage accommodations was the wide disparity in the bases for the pros posed increases,
 The board gave the se.called incorporating employees Q flat boost of nine cents an hour. But when lt came Co the operating groups the beard switched to . 5x per cent increase. This meant only ahOut cents an hour increase for I0weR-pald trainmen, but upwards of ! cents for better-pald engineers and conductors.
 Charging bias and discrimlna- ton, the irate Trainmen flatly refused to accept the plan and the other Brotherhoods backed them up.
 Another thing that burned up all the Brotherhoods was the boards suggestion that the rail- roads go to the Interstate Com lnerce Commission for a s per cent increase in rates to offset the wage boosts. The unions con- tended this was wholly unneces- sary, since the carriers were net

You read about the advantages of travel In some of our distant states where towns are few and far between, but the marvel ous viStas are just around every corner, Texas Is one of those great big states which of recent years has provided more miles for motoring, but like a great many of these states where the great wide open spaces have attracted various commer. clal interests Texas now finds itself with the problem of getting rid of countless signs. Not that 1t intends to regulate the blll-postlng industry out of existence, Texas pet aversion right now are beer signs. There are thousands of them all over the state. Every drive-in resort has the highways plastered with Its adver.. tisements. Missouri, Florida, and several other southern states have already taken steps to curb this blight on a free land scape. Now Texas, our biggest state with It's miles of rolling spaces for such ad- vertising tactics, falls in line.

Keep On Buying!

Once again the talk goes round of some kind of compulsory savings plan some sort of payroll deduction that will take excess income at the source, turn 1t over to the government as a loan, at the same time withdrawing 1t from the com petitive market until after the emergen- cy Everybody winces every time the sub- ject comes up, and 1t can clearly be shown that In many cases the burden would be ill-distributed, falling most severely on those whose income has not been in- creased.
 Once again let 1t be repeated: the way to avoid this Is to buy voluntarily the Defense Bonds and Savings Stamps, which would accomplish the same thing If taken In volume great enough, which they have not been as yet The govern nent has hesitated to put pressure on the sale of Defense Bonds, yet failure to do so may result in some kind of universal compulsory savings, tops in pressure
