Neutrality Zone?

In good faith, and by joint action, the American republics established security belt" around the ocean border of the two Americas. The thought was to keep the European belligerents from fighting their war in American waters, thus jeopardizing inter-continental trade. This security belt" extended 300 miles into the acean in a wider strip than the "three-mile limit" of traditional international law.
 Tn the face of several emergency situ- ations, this new American neutrality hope has taken bad beating. A German pocket-battleship was sunk in the very mouth of the River Plate. Several Ger man ships interned in Mexico and seek ing to escape were captured by the Brit ish in Caribbean waters. The French liner Mendoza was seized only five miles off the Brazilian coast Brazil has now asked consultation with the other Ameri- can countries looking toward joint pro- test against disregard of the American neutrality zone by the British navy. The United states is party to the agreement. v can do no less than to back up its sister republics in whatever steps are agreed upon to reinforce the joint efforts to keep the war out of American waters.

Is the Chance Coming?

Commenting on the Udelowitz bill call ing for abandonment of the municipal habit of borrowing in anticipation of taxes The Democrat said the other night that to accomplish such an aim could not be done painlessly. We further tried to point out that there was more or less general effort in this state few years back to bring about such state of affairs. It wasn't confined to Waterbury, but to every city and town, because the practice of bor- rowing in anticipation of taxes is not confined to this city. And whether or not town borroWs more or less than us, does not lessen the fact that only con certed effort by all municipalities VIII end the custom
 The Udelowitz bill would only end the borrowing tactics by imposition of spe- cial tax when the citys operating funds in December of any year dropped below $2,5OO,OOO This sum would be fixed by statute as the amount the city could operate on for a siX-months period and if it wasn't in the treasury in advance, then it would have to be raised. And that is just one way of bridging the gap be- tween the old and the new way of flnanc- ing citys business. Maybe it's the best way; maybe there are other means ot accomplishing the same end.
 We might point out to all the sundry that Waterbury is ending it's fiscal year with a sizeable surplus which certainly can be duplicated in the present fiscal year by the Scully administration with out any inconvenience. Ultimately such savings are going to enable the city to go through the year without having to bor- row one cent in anticipation of taxes. But every administrator can't or won't dupli- cate this, so any mechanical or other means which enables the city to keep within it's budget are to be sought. The uniform fiscal year and tax collection date theory will aid considerably in this respect.

ton government can serve a dem- ocracy best in a crisis like this. Ger tainly ridiculous or bitter criticisms should be replaced by a spirit of CO., operation.
 President Roosevelt has sur- rounded himself with a very able defense cabinet, representative of the strength of the whole nation. Cordell Hull Is a great secretary of state. Secretary of War Stimson, a Republican, served as secretary of state in President Hoover's cabinet. Secretary of the Navy Knox, was the Republican party's choice for vice president in 1886. The co-chair- men for production are William s. Knudsen Republican, and form- CT president of General Motors, and laborite Sidney Hiilman, vice pres- ideut of the c. I. O. President Roosevelt served as assistant secre- tary of the Navy. He was twice elect ed governor of New York state, and has just been elected president of the United States for the third time,
 The patriotism and honesty and proven ability of this group is be- yond the question of any reasonable American. They stand out as patrio- otic giants, when compared with those who are continually bringing ridiculous charges against the President. We cannot create a strong America by tielng the hands of the President. This Is She time of all times to support the Pres ident. "A house divided against it. self cannot stand"

What of Redistricting?

There have been several bills intro duced in the Legislature calling for plan of reapportionment of the senatorial dis trictS, but we have neither seen nor read of any such plan for our congressional dis tricts. The matter is one that must be properly disposed of at the current session of the Legislature and if no bill has been introduced it remains for the committee to which such matters will be referred to raise such measure. Even if the con- gresSional districts aren't changed, 1t should be recognized that this is the year when such change is required.
 If the Legislature can adopt sound and sensible plan of redistricting for the 35 senatorial districts, it will be, doing well. That is no easy task and S cer- tainly one that can't be done overnight. If the plans presented in committee are not worthwhile and fail to provide the necessary and even distribution of Sena- torial places, then an effort should be made to have a proper plan drawn up that will be generally satisfactory. Some one should be thinking of this right now.
 There are far more important problems facing the Legislature this session than reapportionment. We could mention any number of them But we can't forget that only once in every ten year period is the chance given us to correct Situa- ton which is growing worse year by year. Ten years ago legislators turned their backs on the redistricting plan. If that doesn't make it imperative something should be done this year, then what does?

Text Bool..-shieId bod Tarret.

The United States believes in public education of it's children as @ cardinal point of political and social faith. It spends two billions of dollars year t0 run schools for 26,000,000 children. lt employs 880,000 teachers and usually elects directly its local school boards. Most teaching must necessarily be from books. Therefore the choice of textbooks is important to everybody. >.S
 Every once in a while some special group takes upon itself the task of ln- fluencing this choice of textbooks, either by demanding elimination of mat ter displeasing to it, or more positively, by getting matter inserted which fur therS it's particular point of view. The work of public utility companies in hay ing texts written and adopted, or modi- fled, has been thoroughly exposed, and in the long run the resentment aroused by the practice outweighed any benefit the utilities might have reaped directly.
 The American Legion has had its say about textbook material which 1t con- Sidered un-American; so have the Ameri- can Federation of Advertisers, the D. A. R., and other groups. Latest or ganization to take up this issue is the National Association of Manufacturers, which is now launching new national campaign to scan school texts critically All these groups have the unquestioned right (because they are made up of American citizens, not because they are groups) to protest against any text book material which is being presented to their children. The schools being among the most democratic of our institutions, local school boards ought to consider most thoughtfully any such complaints.
 The principal job of the schools is to turn out men and women who can think It is not to teach them single body of doctrine as ultimate truth that is Hitler's way. We Americans have a strong and abiding faith that our ways are, in general, good ways. We have found them so, in good times and in hours of trial no less severe than those we face today. We believe they will stand like a rock in the midst of descriptions of all other ways of life.
 Our children are not, nor do we want them to be, so tender-minded that they may not even hear of other ways. Surely a way of life that must be thus hedged about is not worth preserving. Ours is not such a way. So to call attention of local school boards to unfairness or in- accuracies is a privilege of any citizen, and duty. But it is equally a duty of school boards to weigh the objections themselves in the scale of the interest of all the people, and not in the scale of any group or organization.

Governor H. H. Lehman has made a wise and excellent choice in appointing Attorney Cornelius J. Smyth of New York City to the New York Supreme Court, First Judicial District. Judge Smyth will honor in many ways the judgeship to which he was recently elevated. His reputation as lawyer in New York City has been an exemplary and brilliant one since he began practice there in 1916 Even before that he had given promise of career rich in accomplishment, and not accompanied by loss of esteem of his fellow-man. To host of Fordham Law School graduates of the past decade and half he has been an inspiration from the lecture platform. An extremely busy legal career did not keep him from an equally active participation in fraternal and professional interests. Here in Con- necticut where the new justice has a number of friends his career on the bench will be followed with keen interest and friendly concern.
