DOESN'T LIKE BONDS; THINKS PIPELINE CAN BE BUILT
 WITHOUT THEM
To the Editor:

TO the EQltor.
 The proposal for long range city financing-range meaning wander ing without aim"-is good illus tration of the way elected officials have proceeded in obtaining finances to aid them in what they term un- fair taxburden on taxpayers. Such is the same old story that preceded the present regime.
 Issuing long term bonds allows city officials ready access to moneys they otherwise would be without or be compelled without justification, to increase the tax rate.
 The officials, just as sagacious and as shrewd politicians as their predecessors, are aware that an at tempt to boost the rate of taxation would bring storm of protest, but thereby hangs tale, as the comp troller mentions in his three choices. If the issue of bonds is not allowed the alternative is to pay for what is wanted in improvements by a sub- stantial higher rate than would commonly be required. That was and is the usual threat of holding the sword of a tax increase over taxpayers heads to coerce them.
 Not much improvement is noted in the present administration as being of the old political school. It is not to be expected otherwise; their reputation cannot be said to be candid enough to inspire confidence.
 The official House of Waterbury has not been put in order to the extent that taxpayers can place re- liance on a plan of long time bond issues that will but burden us fur ther.
 Are these so-called capital im- proyements" urgently needed? None but pipe line for future water sup ply that can be taken care of by present tax rate pay-as-y0u-go plan.

Little or nothing is being heard in State Capitol conversation these days about continuation of the motor vehicle testing lanes. Unless something is done by the Legislature the tests will be held as in the past year Our only recommendation would be to advance the respective tests so that the last one would not extend into the following year as it has just done.

 Have you ever seen in the movies the armless Mexican who weaves baskets more skillfully with his toes than most people can with their fingers? There could be an awful lot of weeping over the loss of both f1n- gers? There could be an awful lot of weeping over the loss of both arms, but this cheap faced life as it was and indeed made the best of it. Circumstances may not always be to our liking, but even the worst can be profltably used If we have heart, grumption and faith.

 Government price fixing is up- on us, whether we like it or not
 It's all perfectly legal. and the big idea of it is that in this mans war we shah have no profiteering.
 It is Leon Henderson's job to see that we don't have these war profiteers, and if he cannot get results one way, he'll try another. The President has the power to fix prices during the emergency and if that doesn't work, the gov- ernment may go into direct com- petition with industry, to force prices down.

The Democracy OF Death

Bruno Mussolini has gone to join in death the
dazed Ethiopian natives he bombed in their huts the
bewildered Russian peasant boys falling before Smo-
lensk, the British clerks who wanted nothing Of life
but living and a garden, but who died fighting
for them.
He wanted to live dangerously Bruno Mussolini
said He lived so, and he died The sad part of it
is that those who want to live dangerously cannot go
and do their dangerous living desert island
with others of the same instincts instead of doing
their dangerous living at the expense of others who
want only to be let alone.
1t doesn't matter now. The swashbuckling Bruno
courting danger with gleam Of medals and the
flash of sca11etned cloak is one in death with the
inoffensive Norwegian youth who died with an un-
accustomed rifle in his hand
They are one today in the democracy of death;
how each may fare in later Judgment is another

A Fast One But Wide

Ono of two things now seems likely: either the
Germans will now launch another bhtz-DoW that VIII
howl over the Russians, else they Will lace pro-
1onged eastern campaign, perhaps even defensive
One
Churchill has told what would happen in the
first ease He expects an immediate attack on Eng
land perhaps by September; certainly no less than an
overwhelming attack on the Mediterranean area.
But the other case? Suppose the Nazi bitz-
machine bogs down into long winter campaign IN
Russia? Here's tip for what it proves to be wortn
from man with good contacts in England:
Perhaps Hitler would be deposed, appear to
be deposed as German Fuehrer. The army command
ers would seze appear to seize, control OF Uer-
many Then tremendous peace appeal would oe
made to England on this basis ut was Hitler with
whom YOU couldn't make peace. Now he is out. The
armv wants no trouble with England 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 in the west
we can lick Russia Everybody will be happy.
The thought in such an approach is that there
were tremendously Influential forces in England and
in the world which repeatedly avowed no i'll will
toward the German people; once Hitler was out OF
the way means of living with 80,000,0OO Germans
could be devised.
But unfortunately Germany has elected to sacri-
flee that good will which definitely did exist toward
the German people, Lord Astor Of Civeden was
identified with that appeasement position strongly
as any, Yet today he writes to w. R. Matthews,
editor Of the Arizona Daily Star: "Can we come to
terms and have durable peace by treating with the
good and decent element in Germany, especially the
German army?" No, says Lord Astor today what
ever he might have thought once. Because the old
ruling clique of the German army which thought
it could use Hitler for his purposes, has been
destroyed by him. All high posts have been given
only to Nazs and the German army is indistinguish
able from the Naz party. Hence, "there is dis
tncton at present between the Nazi party, the Ger
army, and the German people"
If such man as Lord Astor has already COM
petey discounted in advance any such German peace
overture the suggested above, you may be
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
is destroying all confidence not only in Hitler not
only in the German army, but in the German people,

was in ruins and her helpless
people had been marched off to
furnish slave labor for the great
new Germany.
Again Adolf Hitler shared his
spoils - this time with a new
friend. He gave almost half of
conquered Poland to Soviet Rus
sia while he loudly proclaimed:
"German-Russian relations have
been finally settled. Any territor-
ial differences between the two
states are hereby excluded for all
eternity"
SOVIET BEFRlENDED
With Soviet Russia thus be-
friended, Adolf Hitler felt that
his path was clear to wage total
war against vanquished Poland's
powerful allies - France and
England. He had reassured

London May Buy Itself

No city, so far as We recall, has ever gone
out and bought itself. London is thinking of some
such plan.
Acres and acres of the very center of London have
been leveled clear by the German bombing Terrible
though that is it offers unique opportunity for the
rebuilding that will come after the war British
planners determined that London shall cot mere
ly rise again as it was, but rise anew better and
finer city If old lines of streets and property own
ership have been rendered meaningless by the bomb
ing, why regard them in building the new London?
So there has even been advanced plan for the city
to buy from it's present owners 63 acres of the heart
of London, that the rebuilding may not be hampered
by private claims and distractions
Does it sound fantastic for a city thus to "buy
ITSELF? No doubt, but in the tremendous shakeups
of war on the scale of today stranger things will
happen.

Hitler is reported to be willing,

and presumably with no need to
fear any further aggression on
