Second, the killing in their beds of in- nocent women and children has been ac- cepted as normal means of carrying on war. This has happened in wars before, but never has been generally accepted. Today it is SO accepted, as the fruit of the development of the bomber and the readl- ness to use it indiScriminately against civilian populations. That is a step toward barbarisrn.
 Third, restrictions on sea warfare aimed at protection of -combatantS and Of ordinary neutral trade, have been thrown overheard. The Kaiser started 1t; in the first week of this war Hitler took over where he left off, with the sinking of the Athenia; now "Spurlos verenkt" is the rule he attempts to impose on the whole world. And that is barbarian.
 Fourth, the slaughter of helpless hos tages in revenge for acts of resistance in which they had no part was practice which aroused indignation when the American Indians infrequently practiced it. Now it has become regular tactic and technique for the holding down of of Ava slaughtered his thousands of ir1- nocents in the Netherlands, the people of 400 years ago denounced him as beast and a barbariSm. Today nasty little pig-eyed gauleiters are doing the same thing all over Europe. He have returned to what?
 Populations are being uprooted and transferred bodily to unwished-for re- gions; millions are doing forced labor for the German Fuehrer whole countries have been footed of their food and then informed that they must ."co-operate" or starve Education has been stifled and freedom handcuffed across the length and breadth of the whole continent Ii all this doesn't come pretty close to the predicted barbarism it will do until real barbarism comes along.

Decentralizing Washington

Decentralization of the vast bureau cracy in Washington has often been dis cussed, and, little by little, something is being done about it. The newest moves, small in themselves, but full of posSibili- ties, are the transfer of the eastern re- gional headquarters of the Forest Service from Washington to Philadelphia, and the moving of the bulk of the Home Owners Loan Corporation from Washing ton to New York.
 The Securities and Exchange Comn1is- sion has already adopted regional setup which increases the independence Of action of it's regional offices and decreases the necessity of continual reference to the central headquarters at Washington. These are small moves, but they show tendency which ought to, and will, go much farther. This is far too big coun- try to be run from any one central point, and this is not the kind of world which makes this desirable even if 1t were possible.

A Worthwhile Project

Opening of the new Baldwin street bridge last week completed project that has long been under consideration. For years Baldwin street has become more and more an important artery of travel City officials recognized this when they had the thoroughfare completely reSur- faced and widened. It has been an eX- cellent street for traffic ever since, save for the bottleneck at the Scovill bridge, so-caled. With the new structure now being used the complete job has been at tained.
 There has been bridge at this point probably as long as any other ln water bury, save perhaps the one at West Main and Watertown avenue. Looking into Waterburys history mention is found of a bridge across the Mad river near the Scovill plant even back beyond the earliest mention of shop. The latest in the line of permanent structures IS fine-looking and serviceable. It should last for many years, but who knows but what traffic needs of another twenty years may find its usefulness outlived.
 Once there was a grandiose plan for raising the street level at the point where it crossed the Mad river and making an overhead street with other streets being carried under the span and its supports. As 1t now stands the city has a good bridge and considerable work has been done and money expended in making the intersections as safe as possible.

President Maker

The death of Harry M. Daugherty one time Attorney General of the United States, this week brought to mind the numerous stories that were connected with him during his long and hectic pulp lie life. Mr. Daugherty was classed as a president-maker because he was promln- ently identified with the Ohio politicians who brought about the nomination of Warren G. Harding back in 1920. When the Ohioan went into the White House he didn't forget the men who made pos sible his election.
 MT. Daugherty, however, could never say that his years as Attorney General were the most pleasant he spent. Then again he may have enjoyed the tumul- tuous life into which official office plunged him and which reached a high when he presented his resignation to President Calvin Coolidge. Not only was there plenty Of excitement engendered by the group of politicians who followed Harding to the Capitol, but 1t must be remembered that prohibition had only started to take its toll and to Harry Daugherty, as head of the Department of Justice, fell the task of enforcing the Volstead Law and prosecuting violators galore.
 0uI 44AoCOAy WIFI PAODdHAy ASSSA w = special section for treatment of the famous Teapot Dome scandal and what ever part MT. Daugherty was alleged to have played into Oddly enough the name of Senator Burton K. Wheeler was as prominent in that government investiga- ton as it is today in the battle over war or isolation. What host of names were flung across newspaper pages at that -Daugherty, Harry F. Sinclair, Jessie Smith, who killed himself, Albert O. Fall. Daugherty never submitted tamely to any of the accusations and charges to which he was subjected He always fought back and even in this last year with fail ing health confining him to his bed he was preparing book-his story of his life in public office. It certainly would have made interesting reading, perhaps added to historians knowledge of an era, often described in contradictory terms by American writers.

The Return to Barbarism

Tn the months just before Europe was plunged into World War II, every respon- sible statesman in the world said that Ii the war were allowed to happen the whole continent might return to barbarism. Even some of the less responsible states men, including Hitler, recognized that. The war Hitler felt he must have any, way has been sweeping across Europe for more than two years now, and 1t seems measurably close to achieving the predicted result. These things come one by one. Lest we be beguiled by their piece meal advent into forgetting them, let us review few things which this war has brought
 First, the entire fabric of honorable re- lations by treaty has been sadly damaged, and must at some time be laboriously rewoven. The black and calculated treachery with which Hitler has repudi- ated treaties and the given word, time after time, and according to an avowed policy to keep no treaty any longer than 1t is to his advantage to do 70, has sadly shaken throughout the world, and temporarily destroyed in Eu- rope, mems faith dn pledges. That IS ioiia step toward bafbarism

1 all the opium shops In 1917 the Catholic Church in Russia had BIO priests, and of these BIO there re- mained only 63 in 1885. Tn January, 1886, Soviet newspapers declared the last Catholic priest in Odessa was cast into prison
 Even though one could find churches, priests, ministers, and rabbis, would 8 citizen under tho Communistic regime be permitted to establish a religious school? MOI Because that is PROPAGANDA. Would citizens be permitted to dis- tribute pamphlets on religious sub- jects? NO! That would be PROPA- CANADA. Would they be permitted to broadcast religious talks? NO! That is PROPAGANDA. But would the Communists be permitted to do all in their power to attack religion? Yesl For this right Is reserved to the Communists by Article 124. They have the right to propa- gandiZe against religion, but citi- zen has only the right to worship if he can find a priest or a church.
 Active persecution and massacre of the clergy in TsusSia have ceased. But this is not because Communism no longer believes in murdering the clergy; it is because practically all the clergy have been ''liquidated, which is the polite word the Com Emunists use for 'rnassacred'. Accord ing to official Communist statistics alone, 30 bishops and 1.414 priests were executed in 1918-l919. The Archbishop Of Perm was buried alive after having his eyes put out and his face slashed. The Arch bishop of Tobolsk was drowned after en-

FREEDOM OF RELIGION Il RUSSIA JUST LOVELY THEORY" WRITER
 POINTS OUT

Editor, Waterbury Democrat:
 The recent controversy over Ar ticle l24 of the Russian Constitu- ton in which the President stated that there was not much difference between the Soviet Constitution and our own American Constitution which grants freedom of religion to all persons, does not set well with 8 majority of Americans.
 It is true that religious freedom in Russia is one thing, and practice of 1t is another. Stalin rules Rus sia under a document that except for the clause which provides for freedom of anti-religious propa- ganda is practically the same as our own. Bill of Rights, only the siynil- arity ends there.
 This last outrage has finally turn- ed the stomachs of decent American citizens who for long time were willing to go along in the hope that somehow or other the administra- ton would get us through the war without making blood sacrifice of another American Army. But the hypocrisy of attempting to make Russia appear like 8 God-fearing nation that guarantees religious freedom is the last straw. Monsignor Fulton J. Sheen great exponent of Catholic thought and opinion, has blasted that in these few telling paragraphs:
 "As proof of the window-d dressing character of the New Constitution of Russia, 1t is well to remember, that Article l24 makes distinc- ton between worship and propa- ganda.' It guarantees freedom of religious WORSHIP and freedom of anti-religious PROPAGANDA In other words, a citizen has a right to worship God according to this con- science, if he can find church, or If he can find a minister, 6 priest, or rabbi. But these are extremely difficult 10 find. For example, before the revolution there were 10000 Christian churches and chapels In Russia. The Communist Party has recently declared that at the end of the second Five-Xear Plan. namely 1887. there win not be Q single edi- flee in all Russia eonsecfatcd to re- lIglon.

Decision of the Merritt Parkway Con1- mission to urge that the speed limit along 1t be reduced from 50 to AS miles will probably meet with considerable reaction among motorists of the state. Therell be a great deal of opposition to such a change and after all it's understandable why motorists should feel this way But if a 45-mile speed limit is enforced along this road, it will require lot more pa trolling than at the present time. The Hutchinson River Parkway speed limit IS AS miles, but how many drivers try to keep down to such limit? Very few, if any, particularly the New York driv- CTS And Connecticut motorists coming off the Merritt Parkway with its 5o.mile limit aren't disposed to cut down their speed. It's question whether a 45 or 50 mile speed limit actually has much effect on the average motorist. We don't think 1t has and we don't think the fig ures prove our contention wrong.

get the people together"
 It was another case of simple but very deep wisdom coming from the mind of a child. Politicians have al- ways believed that they could put the world together and hold 1t to- gether with treaties, but history has shown that treaties are worse than useless when the passions of avarice and love of power are left unre- strained in mems hearts. The peoples of the entire world are and always have been well disposed toward easN ot.ter. Their rulers plant hatreds in their hearts, regiment them into armies, and make them believe that their harmless, next-door neighbors are ready to tear them limb. from limb.
 Military victories will never win this or any other war. We must put the peoples of the world together, or the armies will have fought in vain.

 Anything may happen these eventful days since the President enunciated U. s. determination to maintain freedom of the seas, and branded Nazi submarines and surface raiders in American wa ters as pirates" Armed Nazi ships arc prowling American wa ters and the U. s. Navy has It's orders.
 It can be revealed that neither the Justice nor War Department would be surprised If they had some pirate" seamen and pirate" craft to deal with soon. Both have been quietly studying for a week the law and precedents concerning such an eventuality.
 The War department enters the picture because under the law all war prisoners landed on U. s. soil come under the custody of the Army. However, the U. s. is not at war, SO there is doubt over the Army's Jurisdiction.
 No final decision has been reached, but the consensus of the legal experts is that any such pirates" should be turned over to the Justice department.
 One suggested procedure iS that the Naxis be landed at 8 U. $. port and then jailed by the Justice department as aliens without passports. But most of the legal authorities contend that the Nazis should be dealt with squarely aS buccaneers.
 A highly significant feature of these undercover deliberations Is that the Justice and War De- partment were directed to make their legal studies quickly.
 NOTE: Last week an import ant War Department official sug- gested to Q Navy official that the Navy give the Army advance no. tice of any captives that might have to be taken over. The in- stant reply was "Heli, we already have sOme." But when pressed for details, the Navy men shut up.
 DUCAL eco VISIT
 On his return trip to Washing ton the Duke of Windsor plans to visit a nearby eco camp with the Idea of establishing 8 sim liar one in the Bahamas. The camp selected for his visit will probably be ono of the negro units, as the Bahamas popula- ton is largely negro.
 J. J. McEntee, COG Director, was much impressed with the Dukes keen interest when they discussed the eco in Washing ton last month. The Duke said he regarded the eco as an ideal means of accomplishing two so- cial purposes-to get public work done and to give employment to boys.
 One thing Windsor was par ticularly interested in was the origin of the eco and he asked who originated 1t. The answer was, Franklin D. Roosevelt. NAZI STUDS

during two months of penal servi- tude. The Bishop of Belgarod was subjected to horrible lnockery and then plunged into quickli:ne. Tn July 1927, il7 orthodox prelates were thrown into prison or were taken to concentration camps or exlled to Siberia. Because Soviet Russia Is not carrying on ylassacres on such a large scale today Is not. because she has become religious, 1t is because there are so few left to shoot" These are strong words. and the story they tell is one of infinite hor' TOT. But in the interests of truth and to prevent the American people from becoming the llnwitting allies oi the most savage enemy Christianity ever had, they must be uttered.
 As long as there are men like Monsignor Sheen to know and to tell the ruth, America still has 6 chance to survive as a great na ation.
 Yes, freedom of religion In Russia Is g lovely theory. But the freedom is not to worship as the individual chooses, but 1t is--take 1t or leave 1t, and the whole attitude of the Soyie! Union is towards the latter.
 The President and Mr. Churchill missed a wonderful opportunity Co let Josef Stalin, Adolph Hitler and all the world know where they stand on religious freedom. Had they de- clared themselves or that subject in a ninth point of their peace pro- posal, it might have alleviated the scrupleS entertained by millions about fighting on the side of Soviet Russia, and it. would have pleased Christians everywhere.
 It would have been the right place to get the word God" into tlia declaration ol postwar" aims. II victory and the justice peace. which England and the United States de- sire, are hoped for independently of Almighty God, there may ensue sad disappointment for their citi- zenry.

metric tons. This is about 5,000,- GOO tons below the record 1040 crop of 70,00o,000. That Is not so bad, except that these fig rires, plus others now in the hands of authorities on German potato consumption reveals a site uation not disclosed in cable dis- patches.
 For example: The effective ness of the British blockade In shutting off food imports to Germany has forced the pop ulation to depend more and more on potatoes. So much 70 that potato consumption has risen 7S per cent in the past year.
 Further. the consumption inc crease has taken place in cities distant from potato growing areas. That means they have to be hauled from over German raii- roads and trucklines, already heavily burdened with troop and munitions traffic. Intelligence ex- perts therefore anticipate that the Nazis soon may be faced with the question of whether to haul potatoes to the cities or rnuni- tions to the Eastern front. THANKED STONE
