to act when danger of any kind threat ems.
 These efforts hearten sincere and wor- ried Americans who view the future with fear for this country's inherent rights and values. They are in keeping with the long service record of the Boy Scouts of America.
 Floods, storms and fires have seen these khaki-clad youths in immediate ac- tion. New England and Florida still re- covering from the hurricanes and floods of 1888 remember the Boy Scout work with appreciation. Older folks can re- member them at work in war times. Dur ing World War, over 400,000,000 dollars worth of Liberty Loan subscriptions were sold by Boy Scouts. Forty-three million dollars worth of War Savings Stamps were distributed by these youngsters. Scouts under direction of national lead CTS located over 5,200 carloads of stand ing walnut trees for defense authorities. Herbert Hoover, food administrator for the United States, complimented Scouts upon their efficient cultivation of war gardens and farms. These teen-age boys, directly aiding the government, de livered over thirty million pieces Of lit erature.
 American democracy is in the spot light today. While the youth of the United States is being trained in a non military fashion, not only to meet the exigencies of a wartime emergency, but also to meet the complexities of peace time existence, worried Americans may well relax their fears for the future.

Considerable Mystery

There doesn't seem to be any real def mite knowledge yet of just what will hap pen here in Waterbury to that federal housing program. Dispatches from Wa terbury don't leave any doubt as to the positiveneSs of the plan to build a 3OO- unit housing project here, Similar pro- jects are also scheduled for other places in the state And New Britain'S mayor, George Coyle, is just back from Washing ton where he looked over the plans ap- proved for the project to be started Tn his city, so there can be little doubt but what federal officials are ready to pro- ceed without so much as taking local officials into their confidence.
 This may simply be case of the cart running away with the horse, but the fact remains that local officials are very much interested in any kind of hous- ing plan, whether the city is to be par ticipant in the same or not. There are such matters to be considered when the actual project is launched as ownership of the property on which the housing units are built There is also the sub ject of supplying them with sewers, lights, sidewalks water, etc. These may seem like minor matters as compared to the more important one of getting houses built and occupied but they do demand some attention.
 It is to be hoped that the plan of Mayor Vincent Scully and Gov Robert A. Hurley to seek fuller explanation of this latest federal project, involving so many Con- necticut communities, from Congressman Joseph Smith at Washington will pro- duce something more tangible than we now have.

Turn Light on War Committees

If it be true that one mans meat IS another mans poison, it is equally true that one mans truth is another mans propaganda. A half-dozen committees are now deluging the country with material aimed at influencing United States foreign policy in one way or another. There are the Committee to Defend America by Aiding the Allies, the Amer ica First Committee, the No Foreign War Committee, to name only the most vocal.
 Let it be said at the start that no par ticular good will come of trying to dlS- miss any of these committees with an epithet. "Pro-Nazi' or "Pro-British" IS not good enough. So far as we know every one of these committees is a purely American committee, actuated by the single desire to lead this country in the path that will prove best. It is true that one group tends to advocate policies which one presumes the Germans would like; another, policies which would bring cheers in England. But they are not to be dismissed by calling names. They are too important for that and it is essential that we know exactly and in detail what is represented by each.
 The U S. Department of State registers and requires such information from rep resentatives of foreign governments. And that is good We know, for instance, when Sir Wilmott Lewis, Washington corres- pendent of the London Times, issues weekly newsletter called Foreign Cor respondence, that this is British propa- ganda, and it may be read as such. Sir Wilmott is duly registered with the De- partment of State as British represen- tative. You can take what he says, or leave it. But the domestic committees, while they certainly wield more power in molding American destiny than foreign propagandists, perhaps even more than political campaigns, make no such ac- counting.
 These committees, naturally, wish the people to trust them. Their purpose is to crystalline public opinion. There is noth- ing wrong in that. It is part Of our democratic process. Citizens with pro nounced opinions have not only the right but the duty to advocate those opinions. Modern technique demands organization in such advocacy. But already there have been demands for congressional investl- gation of such committees. This seems Scarcely necessary A policy of com. plete and utter frankness as to sources ot support and objectives sought by all or ganizations seeking to influence public opinion is the answer, and the only an- sWer which will inspire public con- fidence in what they have to say.

Views Of The Press

man by heaving a dinnick at him, fought many a fight under what he called "the Marquis of Kilkenny" rules and in the sunset of his pro- fessional life as a cop rose to the high rank of inspector.

 c. c. L., Fl PaS0, Texas.-Franz von Papen, now German ambas- sador to Turkey, is the man who as German Imperial Attache in Washing ton during the years 1913 to 1917. directed sabotage by Ger man agents who tried to blow up industrial plants and communi- cations all over the continent. He was so efficient that he kept 8 written account of all payments to saboteurS, which became in- eliminating evidence when it was discovered and used before the German-American Claims Com mission. Most sensational of von Papen's activities in World War I were:
 l. Taking U. s. passports for German reservists in this coun- try, wanted for military ser- vice in Germany.
 z. Plotting an invasion oi Canada through British Colum- bia, with the aid of German warships in the Pacific and Ger man reservists in the United States.
 3. Blowing up the interna- national bridge at Vanceboro, Maine. This was actually &C., complished by von Papen's agent, Werner Horn.

Boy Scout Week

Striking an encouraging note ln the world unrest today has been the extended work of the Boy Scouts of America, the worlds largest youth organization. The men and boys registered in this federally- chartered group have pledged themselves to follow program of strengthening and invigorating democracy in the United States. A nine-point program Stressing Self-reliance and ability to react in times of emergency has been undertaken by more than million and a half members of the Boy Scout Movement.
 These twelve to sixteen year old boys, under the leadership of volunteer adult workers, are learning by doing" Faced with practical situations demanding in- stantaneous and intelligent reactions these boys are receiving valuable train ing for emergency crises. In this prepar- ation to act the Boy Scouts have pledged themselves to be united with all lovers of freedom, whatever their tongue or origin To keep our nation strong in valor and confident in freedom, so that the government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth
 To this end the 47,000 Scout units Throughout the country have made roll .Ail of their entire membership to isolate weak spots in local organization. Troops nave taken stock of themselves In order that they might organize emergency serv- leo corps in local communities, prepared

Forests And Parks

The state budget for the next biennlum as presented to the Legislature by Gov Robert A. Hurley this week fails to do much more for our state park and forest system than has been provided In the last decade or so. Evidently the State Board of Parks and Forests and other supporters will have to rely on Legislative support for proposed bond issue Ii trey want to make the capital improvements that were called for in the commissions recent report.
 This rather short treatment of this de- partment of the state has been gong on for so many years now that we are sur prised Connecticut'S recreational adVant- ages are as great as they actually are. There has been surprising development of park and forest lands in this state III the last fifteen years despite the fact that funds have not been over-plentltul and the commission has been forced at many times to exceptional measures to achieve results. Thanks to the CCC the last eight years have been nicely brldged,
 We knew when there was talk of float ing a $2,OO0,00O bond issue for park and forest development that this was a step almost of desperation. It must be so when a department of our state govern ment asks for so large an amount Of money. If legislative support can be whipped up we don't suppose the bond plan will go through as the financial set up for the next two years apparently does not contemplate any such step as this, no matter the importance or need It would seem as if only roads and bridges are oc- cSSions for bonds these days.

SUBMARINES AND MEN
(New York Times

(New York TimeS)
 British Admiralty figures on mer- chant ship losses for the week end- ing December IS total 41,476 tons. This is far below the weekly average for the war, but it would be a mis- take to draw conclusions from an isolated dip in the chart of sinkings. l Nevertheless, the British are specu- lating on the causes of the lull. They suggest that it may be due to howl ing Winter weather. to withdrawals from the German submarine fleet for replenishment of supplies and torpedoeS, or to nerve strain neces- sitating shore leave and relaxation for the U-boat crews.
 It was nerve strain which defeat ed the submarine in the World War. Germany was able at all times to replace her submarine ton- mage loss and even to increase her fleet units. In October, 1917, she had 40 U1-boats in commission. She expected to build 300 in 1919, and actually surrendered 138, at the ar- nlistice. Yet toward the end of 1917 1t had become impossible to get VOL unteers for the submarine service. Every month 500 men were arbitra- rily drafted from all branches of the navy for the submarine school at Kiel. The chance for death on a submarine had risen greatly. The submarine weapon which von Tirpitz promised would win the war became blunted in his hand
 We are told nothing whatever to- day regarding the present rate ot German submarine losses. Even the meager figures issued at the begin- ming of the war have ceased. Nor do we know the latest methods Britain is using in the attack. Yet we may be sure that the destruc- ton continues. Every crew that dis appears in the great deep must leave nipples of apprehension among the remaining crews.

 est destruction of this type was
 at the Black Tom arms depot
 and Kingsland, N. J., arsenal.
 As devout Catholic and a non- member of the Nazi party, von Papen would no longer be in favor but for Hitler's gratitude for 8 past service. When Hindenburg was president, von Papen per- suaded him to name Hitler as Chancellor. This was the be- ginning of Hitler's rise to power. MERRY-GO-ROUND
