Anticipated Laws

Over at Wesleyan University there has been an interesting forum held on marriage. Among the speakers were Mrs. Katharine Hepburn of Hartford who, in the course of her remarks at one ses- sion, said some things about the Con- necticut Supreme Court and it's 194O birth control law decision which caused President James L. McConaughy of Wes- leyan to tender what might appear to be an apology to the court. Dr. Mc- Conaughy doesn't think the court should be blamed for the law since it was merely upholding it as it is supposed to do.
 pr. McConaughy is "very sorry that we have such an antiquated law so he says, with reference to the statute for bidding dissemination of birth control information. This makes one wonder If every new generation should be allowed to make it's own laws, scrapping the "antiquated" ones and substituting the new or modern, as we sometimes refer to present-day philosophy and thought. How old has law got to be to become anticipated? Or are we fooling ourselves by thinking that all laws like some hu- man institutions get out of date?
 For instance, how many civilized peo- pie, Americans or any other nationality, believe that we should scrap the age-old law-Thou shalt not kill-and allow more legal executions? We don't suppose there would be very many sane individuals voluntarily sanctioning any movement to abolish the mmandment-Thou shalt not kill-whether 1t be from religious scruples or moral safety that they en- dorse whole-hearted approval of the same. Civilization hangs on such basic doctrines as this one.
 Hence, it may be that the Supreme Court found imposed in this antiquated law of ours on birth control information a duty just as strong as that in the com. mandment-Thou shalt not kill. And if the right to tell or show how to kill is legalized 1t might well be said that the commandment and law itself are with out foundation and certainly without ef- feet. In such a belief as this we could never concur.

More Milk Control

On the basis of what transpired at Hartford last week, when there was legislative hearing on the proposed new milk control act, it seems likely that the General Assembly will go along with Gov. Robert A. Hurley and set up fixed prices for the producer and unlimited competition for the distributor. The idea is to protect the consuming public, yet at the same time offer to the farmer or dairyman price for his product that is regarded as commensurate with his in- veStment. The present set-up is re- garded as costly to all concerned.
 No matter what arguments are ad- vanced for the proposed change it still remains that 1t is an experiment and will remain one until proved otherwise. We certainly hope this experimental period will be but brief one, for solu tion to Connecticut's milk problem is cer- tainly something to be desired by all of us, even If we never touch a glass of milk or take it in any form. Marketing milk is an essential industry that affects the lives of thousands, old and young. It needs such regulation as can be imposed by law.
 We don't know what will come of un- restrained competition among milk deal CTS. Certainly the market will be wide open to them to control. But will it mean a sacrifice in service, such as the public has become accustomed to and often demandns as a right and not privilege, or will it mean sacrifice in quality? We are counting against either of these eventualities, but they are pos sible, where the only thing fixed in the new milk control rules will be the price Co the producer. Let's hope there will be a general effort, providing the new con- trol act is approved, to live up to it.
