tana at luncheon yesterday with a
hearty handshake and assurance
that it is "a real pleasure and priv
ilege to meet you" several Congress
men disclosed.

tried to discourage criticism of Mu-

the present criticizes the past, there
is not ouch hope for the future"

itol after his address, was intro
duced to Senator Mcfarland.

He Means It, Too

Governor Robert A. Hurley has pulled "a big black stick out of his bag of tricks. He's now shaking it over the Legislature and members are convinced that he means what he says. AS a result this week may find an earnest endeavor on the part of the legislators to get down to business with regard to the more import ant state issues that must be faced. A s'must" program has been outlined by the governor and until he has assurance that something constructive is being done with 1t, he is going to spank where it hurts the most. That's tke so-called patronage list
 And even when the governor does start to announce the names of the men he has selected for the various judgeships, com nnissionerships, and like offices available to his appointment this year, we wonder if he will accede to legislative pressure or follow his own dictates and those of his close advisers. We're inclined to think that he'll be apt to follow the latter course of action. So the Legislature apparently is very much lon the spot. E, It can speed up the must" legislation and figure that the governor will play ball" on appointments, or it can continue to delay action and accept whatever he is minded to do with respect to the many names that he must send in for conf1r- nation or name for interim terms after the legislative session has ended Any way you look at 1t the governor seems to be making the snow balls and also firing them. A balky Legislature certainly won't come out on top in such a battle It stands chance of being on the win- ming side by joining in the general move-
 nert for harmony all around.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-04-28

gigantic scale in time of peace. We are only now beginning to see why. The words of Chief of Staff Marshall are some- what reassuring when he says that 1,250,- 900 men with the highest morale I've ever seen" are now being organized and trained. War is a terrible thing at best, but 1t has no more terrible aspect than when men have to fight without adequate training or equipment. The present thew army" is one of which we have every reason to be proud. The men have made amazing progress, considering that they have been in camp, most of them, only since last fall. It is good, but not enough.
 The core of the amazingly successful German army of today is the nucleus of "1OO thousand sergeants" developed in the skeleton army permitted under the year men. The army is right in attempt ing to persuade as many as possible to the one-year men to serve voluntarily for three-year term. They will thus de- velop skills beyond the elementary train- ing of one-year men. That will be valu- able, perhaps decisive, if a real war should be faced.
 The Germans are not braver or better than the men they have repeatedly beaten. They have more know-how, and better tools. America will never be without the millions which the ancient orator assured us would spring to arms. But unless we make the absolute most of the present op- portunity to develop the know-how and the tools, we might be caught suddenly and hopelessly without them in some desolate day.

A Trade Balance Shift

The whole picture of South American trade with the United States has shifted, largely, no doubt, as a result of the war in Europe, but also partly because of a conscious effort to stimulate it. The United States always used to sell more to Latin America than it bought from there. Today that has been reversed In Febru- ary the U s. exported $62, 100000 worth of goods to Latin America, while it i'm ported $82,000,000 worth. That gave Latin America favorable balance of $20,000,000.
 That means that the chronic shortage of American dollars in Latin America is being relieved, and suggests that the way is being paved for increased trade in the future In fact, the total of February trade both ways was $15,000,000 greater than the month before. As in local trade, so in international trade, volume counts. The United States stands for increasing, but decreasing, the volume of such trade. Within such limits as the war leaves open, it's being done.

Potentialities Ahead

There has been considerable interest shown at the Capitol in the proposal that the City of New Haven own its own water system. At the present time it is serviced by a privately-oWned company which also takes care of some of the neighbor- ing communities. The latest effort in the movement to set up municipal water supply for the Elm City is the recom- mendation of Senator Joseph T. Rourke that metropolitan water district be created to accommodate not only New Haven but also all the immediate sur rounding territory.
 Hartford has just such a metropolitan district and apparently 1t operates with success and economy all around. or course the district is extremely fortunate in that 1t possesses very fine reservoir system, whose supply is probably un- limited what with the recent expansion program in the Barkhamstead hills: Whether or not New Haven's supply could ever compare with this is something to be ascertained only after direct comparl- son. But the field for such project would seem to be there if there is any unanimity of opinion in the proposed area.
 While the same idea has never been directly expounded here Tn waterbury, 1t has been considered. The city is fortu- nate indeed in its water supply and con- templated expansion program. There never should be any danger of a water famine locally not even if the city's pop uiation doubled. All of which leads to the thought of selling to adjacent towns that have no main water supply.
