What's It For?

The announcement at Washington that army engineers had recommended construction of $5 151 ,0O0 flood control reservoir in the Naugatuck Valley is most interesting item. One really wonders where just such a reservoir would be To- cated. One might also wonder just what purpose such a reservoir would serve in this district. It's slightly foolish to won- der this, though, for naturally a flood reservoir is to control floods and the pur- pose of locating one in the Naugatuck River Valley would be to control floods there.
 But so far as we know flood conditions throughout the Naugatuck Valley are not of alarming proportions. On occasions in past years the river has gone over it's banks and has flooded sections of this city. In fact we even lost a bridge. But that would have been replaced eventually by traffic demands. As yet no satisfactory plan has been inaugurated to aid proper ty owners along Riverside Street, al- though a few years back some attempt was made to placate them by assurances of adequate protection,
 No doubt flood control reservoir above Thomaston would take care of Riverside Street, as we'll as all the other streets ad- jacent to the river banks in the various communities which can be found up and down the valley. A $5,O00,O00 project, though, seems like an extravaganza at time when we ought to be conserving our funds Still it may come under the head of national defense. After all the Nauga- tuck Valley is an important defense man. ufacturing center Evidently nothing is too good for those regions
 It's bit incongruous, though, that af- ter many years of complaining over flood conditions as they affect dwellers in the valley, plan is finally being evolved to provide relief, but evidently not because home-owners have suffered for so many years, but because it looks as if it should be done for national defense.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-08-04

appeal would be made to England on this basis: "It was Hitler with whom you couldn't make peace. Now he is out. The army wants no trouble with England or the rest of Europe It wants only to lick Russia and deliver Europe from the Red Menace. How about it, boys? You call off the dog. Relieved of the war in the west, we can lick Russia. Everybody will be happyl'
 The thought in such an approach is that there were tremendously influen- tial forces in England and in the world which repeatedly avowed no i'll will to- ward the German people; once Hitler was out of the way, means of living with 80,000,000 Germans could be devised. But unfortunately Germany has elected to sacrifice that good will which definitely did exist toward the German people. Lord Astor of Cliveden was identified with that appeasement position as strongly as any. Yet today he writes to w. R. Matthews, editor of the Arizona Star: Can we come to terms and have a durable peace by treating with the good and decnt ele- ment in Germany, especially the German army?" No. says Lord Astor today, what ever he might have thought once. Be- cause the old ruling clique of the Ger man army which once thought it could use Hitler for his own purposes, has been destroyed by him. All high posts have been given only to Nazis, and the German army is indistinguishable from the Nazi party. Hence, "there is no distinction at present between the Nazi party, the German army, and the German people"
 If such man as Lord Astor has already completely discounted in advance any such German peace overture as the one suggested above, you may be sure that if any such fast one" is pitched, it will be far wide of the plate. One of the tragedies of the war is that Germany has succeeded in destroying all confidence not only in Hitler, not only in the German army, but in the German people.

May Not Work Out

Tammany Hall moved swiftly last week and displayed rare pOliticul acu- men in it's designation of Attorney Frank s. Hogan, administrative assistant to Dis trict Attorney Thomas E. Dewey, as its candidate for the D. A. office. Only few days before that MT. Dewey himself had indicated that MT. Hogan was one of four men whom he believed would be the candidate for the office, from which he plans to retire, on the Republican and Fusion tickets. Tammany more than beat all other parties to the draw with respect to the District Attorney candidacy.
 The move was obviously political but it certainly dazed everyone by its sud- deness and it's daring. There was no req son for Tammany to try to include At torney Hogan among it's candidates for office this fall other than that the Dem ocratic leaders believed that he was a distinct asset and would add to the strength of ticket headed by the dy mamie District Attorney William O'DWyer of Brooklyn. Other than that he might at some time be referred to as Tammany man or a machine candidate we don't think Attorney Hogan would suffer from being on the Democratic ticket this fall. We are pretty sure he would be elected.
 However, this is a problem that has personal angles. After all designating man as it's candidate is bit different than the person in question seeking the nomination or being urged to do so. MT. Hogan's opinion in this matter may diff fer from those of Tammany Hall leaders. He may feel that in justice to his chief, District Attorney Dewey, he should not run on the Democratic ticket. Then again he might not wish to run on ticket that will be very Strenuously fighting Mayor Fiorella LaGuardias candidacy. But cer- tainly if elected with the Democratic can didate for mayor, New York City would be treated to the sight of two "gang-busters" in action

 "Halt" was his command, As he peered at the eere light, with his rifle in his
 hand "It's the corporal" came the answer, to post the
 third relief" But the sentinel knew that they weren't due-his
 tour not so brief. His tour was not so brief. Advance one to be recognized-and you'd better

phemiSmS to shield us from diScon- certing realities. If we want to dress up an evil act in good name, we can always do so. We can always find something that will spare our feelings. save our faces, allow us to maintain our self-respect, no matter how mean and unworthy our con- duct may be. People lie and call 1t diplomacy; they steal and call it shrewdness; they refer to adultery as love, and to avarice as ambition. They lose their tempers and call their uncontrolled passion righteous indignation. They hate people of another race and call 1t patriotism, They storm at other mems religion and call 1t fidelity to their own faith.
 All these things involve the skill ful use of euphemisms. We will not iaca our sins and shortcomings and call them by their real names. We refuse to recognize that wrongdoing
