The less scien- tific ballast used, the more bril- liant will be the success of propa- ganda The absorbent capacity of the masses is most limited. Their understanding is small while their forgetfullness is great. There fore propaganda must be strictly limited to very few essential points and these must be used again and again until the dullest man of all cannot help knowing what is meant, as soon as this principle is abandoned, the force of propaganda fades
 Note this one in Chapter x. "The primitive simplicity of the mind of the masses is more easily misled by a great than a tiny lie they are accustomed to telling insigni- ficant lies themselves and so can detect them.

 If we note Hitler's words and see how the idea worked, as recorded in Matthews last two chapters, we can see that. he was right. It works today as it did then. The record in Matthew second chapter, tells of the star" that went before them" to show the wise men where Jesus was. Sound reasoning would tell anyone that God would not move a star about in the heavens to disclose where His own son could be found by Herod, a wicked king and a killer of children. The Apostle Paul tells of Satan fashioning himself as "an angel of light" in 2-Corinthians, chapter Ii. He also writes in 2-Thessalonians, chapter 2 that : flor this cause, God sendeth them a working of error, that they should believe a lie; that they all might be judged who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in un- righteousness" People have swa1- lowed the idea of Christmas and are not awake to the deception yet.

Backing Up the Boys

It is good to see the American Social Hygiene Association joining in the armys crusade to protect it's men from the har- pies of vice and gambling who swarm about every camp hoping to separate the men from their pay and leave them with empty pockets, a headache, and perhaps a lifetime of regret and suffering. The problem of the soldier on leave, let it be repeated, is serious one. Despite every possible precaution, the incidence of social disease tends to rise whenever adequate facilities for off-reservation entertainment are lacking.
 Men in barracks are no more plaster saints than they were in Kipling's day. Released from heavy army duties, they will have fun, and if opportunities for decent wholesome fun are lacking, they will seek whatever kind is available. The best defense here, as anywhere, is good offense. The positive rather than the negative is the first point of attack So the ASIA, in it's fight against venereal disease, touches the key point in urging, with army authorities, proper recrea- tionaal facilities in towns near camps. An ounce of prevention is still worth a pound of cure.

There are many points that come to mind with the inauguration of Honorable Robert A. Hurley only a matter Of hours away. He is one of few Democrats elected to this high state office in the 2Oth cen tury. Wilbur L. Cross is the only living Democrat to have held the office. But of more paramount interest is the fact that MT. Hurley is the first Catholic gov ernor ever elected in Connecticut. That is a bit unusual in state where there is such a large Catholic population. But examination of the records shows that the major parties have rarely nominated gubernatorial candidates of this religious denomination. The Republican Party never has.

PROPAGANDA HAS LONG BEEN BEST WEAPON OF
 SATAN

Berlin, Conn.
 Jan. 2, 1940. Editor, Waterbury Democrat:
 Several newspapers have com- mented on the flood of War Prop aganda" that Is now making its appearance. The general opinion seems to be that the people should be warned on account of its effect although the editors point out that 1t is hard to detect. Of course it Is. Propaganda is designed to influence the opinions and actions of persons who will not reason or think for themselves but who are subject to emotional instincts. The whole thing could be summed up in the word Lies" Propaganda is subtle, far-reaching in its effect and as deadly as any weapon of war. It is nothing new. God foretold that it would come in our day and that many people would be deceived by it and now it seems proper to know it's real source and purpose. Read Revelation twelve, verse 15.
 The instigator of all propaganda, or lies, Is Satan the devil. The eighth chapter of John shows that Jesus pinned the Identification tag on him when he stated He was a liar from the beginning" If the third chapter of Genesis is read, you will note that Satan was more subtle" than any beast of the field. He caused Eve to believe that God had lied to both her and Adam and that they would not die if they ate of the fruit of the tree. Man has been dying ever since, so who is the real liar? It is too long to go into detail here, but the last two chapters in the book of Matthew should be read to note how propa- galada worked with the people and how the chief priests and others in authority, entered into an agree ment with the soldiers so that the people would not know that Jesus was resurrected. but would think that his disciples came and took him away. Note these words: "So they took the money and did as they were taught: and this saying was spread abroad among the Jews and continues until this day"
 Hitler is a postmaster at propa- ganda and we'll understands its ef- feet, as disclosed in his book ''Mein Kampf." Suppose we take note of some of his statements. He classes all men as liars and stupid.

The rural districts of the state still rule the roost at Hartford. When the 1941 legislative session opens this week with the customary inaugural proceed ings there will be more farmers in the General Assembly than any other bloc of professional men and women. But though the farm bloc may be the largest in actual numbers, it is far outnumbered by members of other groups. There are only Al persons among the PIP House members who give farming as their occu- patton. There are among the 35 Sen ators. All of which doesn't mean that farm legislation will predominate all sessions. There are so many other call ings represented that the usual hurly- burly of legislation can be expected. And incidentally it can't be overlooked that there will be 34 lawyers in both houses of the Legislature. The Senate has seven Of these, including, of course, one from Wa terbury in the presence of Attorney Mich ael V Blansfield. The law always takes an important part in the framing of Con- necticut legislation.

lie. but he regarded honesty as a beautiful thing and loved to see it ill the lives of others. His modern counterpart is the man who tells you what charitable person his mother was, yet does nothing to re- lieve the world of need round about him. Or he boasts of the fact that his grandgather was a preacher. yet himself never darkens the doorway of a church. It can truthfully be said that no group of people admire virute more than the people who never practice 1t. They seem to get a vicarious satisfaction out of ob- serving in others the qualities of character which they lack.
 It need hardly be said that this is spiritually facilitating. To know what is right and not to act upon it, damages will power and renders one incapable of following his best impulses. The man who says of any viIsue. 'Tis so fair thing to look on," and then does nothing to build that virtue into his life, has substi-

And Governor elect Hurley will find himself in an ex- tremely vital position, heading the gov ernment of state where vital war indus tries are located.

 activities is now more than ever vital to the nations safety. He has
 announced that he will ask for $1,- 100000 to enable the committee to continue its work on large scale. Whether Congress will give him ] that much is an open question: but that it will vote to continue
 the committees existence and will give it considerable sum of ] money to work with. seems high ly probable. By centering more attention on Nazi and Fascist ac-
 tivities Dies has calrned many of the fears which congressional lib- I erals used to have of him, and his ! long fight with the administration 1 has - for the moment, at least - been harmonized.
 MAN-ANIERICAN TIE UPS TO BE SCANNED
 Even more important than this investigation may be the one which Senator Wheeler and a Senate sub committee are about to launch into
 trade and patent agreements be-
 tween United States and German industrialists.
 The antitrust division of the
 Department of Justice uncovered some sensational material in this field last winter. Nearly a year ago Assistant Attorney General Thurman Arnold warned defense
 chiefs that some of the agreements his men were uncovering pointed to the existence of price-fixing controls and limitations on pro-
 duction which might seriously im-
 pair the nations effort to re-arm Wheeler got interested in the mat ter, got the senate to approve an
 inquiry, and is preparing to dig deeply into the things Arnold was talking about. Insiders predict
 some startling finds may be made. During the fall a good deal of
 sentiment developed in Congress for an investigation of the Civil
 Aeronautics Board. The old Civil
 Aeronautics Authority was thor oughly shaken up by a presiden- tial reorganization order last sum-
 mer, the Air Safety Board was
 abolished, and the surviving bureau was put back into the Department of Commerce. Bitter opposition was expressed in Congress at the time;
 the fact that three major airline
 disasters occurred during the fall
 drew charges that the reorganiza- tion had been detrimental to the governments air safety program. Senator McCarran of Nevada may demand an inquiry. The admin
 istration would oppose such
 move, and might succeed in block
 ing it.
 A LOOK
 AT ELECTIONS
 Another investigation that may develop would center around the
 1940 election campaign. The Senate campaign fund com- mittee headed by Senator Gillette of Iowa will shortly report on the inquiries it made during and after the campaign. It has not yet drawn up its report, but it is highly possible that it will recom-
 mend a further Senate investiga- tion with the idea of formulating new legislation to strengthen the
 Hatch act and the corrup practices act.
 Possible also is a Senate inves-
 tigation also is a Senate investiga-
 tion of the financial resources now available to Great Britain in the new world.

Selected Poem
LINES FROM INSIDE A CRYSTAL BALL

(Al Graham in the New York Sun) When motors, planes and streamlined trains Theren come day, the scholars say They say the day will come
 And kiddie cars will hum At super-speeds; and war and weeds And locker-room quartettes And petit fours and shoppe stores And oomph and majorettes And neighbors' dogs and demagogues And pinban games will pass, And man shall be superbly free,
 Possessed of brains and class Yet even then there may be men
 Who'll sigh, Alas! alack!' As loud they praise the Good Old Days And wish they had 'em back. And doubtless some will even come To say, of me and you, "A lucky lot they were, eh, wot?"-- And right they may be, too.
