A Thought for Today
Encouraging Sight

Driving along Freight Street these days the presence of great many pieces of concrete pipe there should be a distinct encouragement to those city residents who are unfortunate to live in the sec tions of Waterbury which are not bene- fitted by constant high pressure in the water mains. The pipe sections will soon form part of the city's second pipeline from the Morris reservoirs. When built this pipeline should be of several ad- vantages to all of us. It will mean that we aren't dependent any longer on a single pipeline; 1t will provide better service in the high pressure areas.
 No single job of recent years is of greater importance than construction of this pipeline. It has been talked about for years and even planned for in recent years. Actual work was begun on the project some years back when highway construction through WatertoWn and over the eventual route of the pipeline necessitated laying of those sections which might at later date have caused good paving to be ripped up. Now that the entire Job Is well underway most of us can take lot of pride in the fact that 1t is being done and done well.
 Of course, the pipeline is but one step in this water expansion program. Actu- ally the pipeline won't be any good until there Is a reservoir behind 1t from which will flow millions of gallons of water for our constant use. Neither of the existing reservoirs in the Morris hills will be linked to the new pipeline. A third reservoir and a great dam will be created for this purpose. Actually much of this work was foreseen years ago and there needs only be the work itself to complete the task of insuring Waterbury's more than ample water protection for generations to come

lingo

Words are like people. Some of them get bad names, some good some deserve the bad and some the good, but all are affected by the reputation they bear. "Jingo" has become bad word. It has come to mean an Irresponsible war monger. The name comes, if recollection serves, from an old verse reading in part, We don't want to fight, but by lingo If we do, we've got the men, we've got the ships, we've got the money, tool" People remember the catchy word lingo. They forget the i've don't want to fight"
 The United States, whether we like it or not, is getting into a position just little like that today. We,too, don't want to fight. For two years we have resolutely stayed clear of fighting We have given up rights to ship our goods by sea which we always claimed before. No American ship has gone into European port which was blockaded or in the actual war zone, though we always previously claimed the right to send them there. Why did we give up those rights? Because insisting on them 23 years ago got us into fight, and today we don't want to fight.
 What is the best assurance today Of keeping out of a fight? Why, a clear demonstration to the world that we've got the ships, we've got the men, we've got the money, too" ' and further, the clear demonstration that, if necessary, we propose to use them. The United States has nothing very directly against Japan. It wants no war with Japan. But it simply will not acquiesce in Japan's putting keep Off, sign on the whole of east Asia. The United States has nothing very directly against Germany. But it will not acquieSce in Germany's putting keep Off" sign on the whole of Europe and Africa. Especially since those signs are expanding signs, by their nature and by their past performance.
 There is a chance to avoid war if the United States will pile up sufficient force that no party of World War II will wish to offend us. There is chance to avoid war if enough surplus war supplies are produced and sent to those resisting ag- greSsion so that they may win out. There is chance to avoid war if U. s. power is so great that fear of it forces a decent peace. But those are the only chances Otherwise the United States faces war whether it wants to fight or not. In either case, the ships. the men, and the money are as necessary to the national life as breath itself

The Navy Needs Men

Every week, every day almost, new warship for the two-ocean navy Splashes down the ways into the water. It takes sailors to man these ships, and the Navy is now seeking 13,0o0 month to go into training so that when the ships are ready the men will be ready. A navy is more than ships, more than guns. It Is men. The United States never failed to produce such men for Jones and Bair- bridge, Preble and Decatur; they stepped forward for Porter. and Farragut and Dewey; they will not be lacking for Stark and Kimmel and King

course, affect the school population fig ures for several more years to come.
 Here in Waterbury declining school rosters have been noticeable for a num- Der of years past. We have kept step with the situation in a number of differ ent ways, but principally by closing schools in districts where the decline was the most noticeable elimination. of chool-roomS where it was possible. This has been done, too, without any sacrifice in the ranks of our teachers. Where there have been wholesale cuts in the teaching ranks elsewhere, Waterbury has been fortunate enough to preserve its own, although not increasing them save where necessary
 Conditions during the past year, though, indicate that Waterburys school population may remain, fairly stable due to an influx of workers, slight as it may be, but certainly due to the steady work ing hours now enjoyed by so many thousands of residents. The recent de- mand for study of existing school dis trct lines is understandable in view of the unprecedented search for living quarters in every section of the city. Where there were definite trends away from one district and into another in the past, today there seems to be uni formly even demand for homes in any and all sections of the city.
 The city is apparently prepared for any turn in school population figures. There was no reported overcrowding in any of the various public schools on opening day. Facilities and staff seem adequate for another successful year.

around to naming 6 leader of this caliber he alone knows. But Inc does know one is badly needed. Recently, talking to Q core friend, the President complained about the failure of defense chiefs to take the initiative and to ex- ercise the powers they have. He contended they have plenty of authority to act if only they would use 1t.
 Barney Baruch," he said, ''had only half their authority, but he went ahead and did things. He didn't run to Will son every day to ask what to do. Barney took the lead him. self. He ascertalned what was needed and got 1t done. But unless I tell my defense men what to do, it's not done."
 "They claim it's because they haven't the authority. That's , bosh. They've got all the auth Ority they need. What they lack is initiative. They are excel- lent men, sincere, able and pa- triotlc. But they are executors and not leaders. UnIesss they are told specifically what to do, nothing happens"
 The friend agreed heartily with the President and then quietly remarked, "What about Bill Doug las?"

He may find 1t in any of these places" he insisted, but there is one place where he would never think to look for it. Put 1t down. in the very center of his own nature, in the depths of his own heart. There Is less likelihood of his finding 1t there than anywhere else In the universe"
 The Bible tells us that VIC are the sons Of God. "No we are the sons of God, and 1t doth not yet appear what we shall be-" But man finds it hard to believe this. He struts and calls himself ssipeEman. or wecps and call shinseif Q victim. He loves to follow some designing rascal who wears . uniform and promises him high position in 0 new and better world order.
 He looks to the sky for help = to the distant horizon. to the govern ment. If he only knew it, ell he needs Is in his own heart; for God Is there.

The political picture in Waterbury Is gradually assuming definite shape and color. For spell past 1t has been just an indistingulshable mass of material. Now leaders and individuals are starting to trace delicate outlines. As the work continues 1t grows bolder; the color Is Of a deeper hue. By this time next month the entire picture will probably have been drawn for the voting public of the city. It's hard to predict what will happen in this city in l941 other than to be prosaic and agree with Democratic spokesmen in their premise that with Mayor Vincent A. scully at the head of the city ticket they have a distinct advantage on the field. That goes without saying. The Dem- ocrats are rich in material for they con- trol the city government which ordinarily is sufficient to guarantee election But other than that they have leader whose prestige is extending far and wide and whose retention in office Is regarded out side of purely political circles as almost a necessity.

serves or losses; that Is the war of the future.'
 The psychological 'softening up" process consists mainly of stirring up all the prejudices that can pos sibly be found in the enemy--iIl- creasing hatreds in every possible way between national groups, reli- gious groups, economic groups. They are made so distrustful of each other as to weaken the enemy So that he cannot resist the military attack when 1t comes. That was an important reason for the destruc- tion of France. Fortunately, the process failed in England, but today we see tho same procedure of tho emotions being tried in the United States.
 There were several examples of it at Wilby. Dr. Curran, in the de- iiberate rousing pf the emotions of his audience and his preaching of hatred-of England, of "Commun- istic Russia, of Roosevelt, of Ickes, (but not of Japan, Nazi Germany, or the Petain governmenD was fol- lowing a well-knoWn Hitler tech- nique and was following the Nazi party line. The letters published in the papers by those who support pr. Curran are of the same nature bringing up national and religious prejudices and preaching hatreds not only of England, but of our fel- low Americans.
 It was with the hope of bringing about such things to an extreme ex- tent that Hitler in 1892 told Rauschning, America Is perma- nentIy on the brink of revolution. It will be q simple matter for me to produce unrest slid revOlts in the United States, so that these gentry will have their hands full with their own affairs" (Page 4)
 Perhaps the most striking slInl- larity of the Wilby meeting to Nazl propaganda was an incident at the beginning of the America First" meeting, when a piacar6 (much clappedl was carried down the aisle. It said, Great Britain will fight to the last American" In the win- ter of I9so-40 that. with the change of one single word. was the most frequent refrain of the German radio. when speaking in French to the French people. It was, Great Britain will fight to the last Frenchman". How many people ct Wilby realized that propaganda made in Berlin was being used on them with the hope of "softentng up' the people Of Waterbury and of the united states to aid the Hitler regimen

The question of developing home sites in various sections of the city, as for ex- ample the defense housing projects on Hamilton avenue and Long Hill, is com plex one. It doesn't involve just building a few homes. There's more to 1t than that. The people who will move into these houses are everyday Americans like you and me- They enjoy the same pleasures; they live much the same lives. They seek to bring up their families in the best possible circumstances. Private realty de- velopments are similarly populated. But all impose certain duties on the city and in time to come these may prove prob lems unless the city is prepared to extend its various services far and wide.

IsOLATIONIST TACTICS SEEN AS IN LINE WITH HITLER
 POLICIES

Sept. 2, 194l.
 Editor, Waterbury Democrat:
 The remarkable thing about the two isolationist meetings in Wilby High school in the latter part of August was the fact that most of those who attended them appeared to be completely ignorant of Hitler's plans and procedures, despite the warnings of many newspaper corr respondents of what has happened in Europe, and even of Specific statements by Hitler and his aides.
 One of the most interesting pre- dictions of Hitler's plan and his contemplated procedure is Hermann Rausciining'g book, "The Voice of Destruction" first published in this country in February, l94O, Reading this today, one comes on page aIter page of Hitler's private predictions which the world would have laughed at in February, 1e4O, but whose carrying out have since had a devastating effect.
 Take, for instance, & paragraph on page ls3, quoting 8 statement Hitler made in 1884: Perhaps l shall not be able to avoid an allie ance with Russia. I shall keep that as a trump card. Perhaps 1t will be the decisive gamble of my life But 1t will never stop me from as firmly retracing my steps, and attacking Russia when my aims in the west have been achieved. We shall change our fronts from time to time. and not the military ones alone. But for the time being we may retain the doctrine that Boi- shevism Is our deadly enemy"
 HitIer's primary methods have been to apply standard well-known strategies with new weapons, not only military. but by using psyche. logical weapons as well. n that sense Hitler was fighting that win- ter to soften mp" the Allies, par- ticularIy the French. To quote from page 10, s'When the enemy is de- moraiised from within, when he stands on the brink of revolution. when social unrest threatens-kaat Is the right moment. A single blow must destroy him.

NOTE It should always be re- membered that Axis war moves are like game of chess. Part of Hitlerts strategy is to keep the United States enough worried about the Atlantic to station save eral powerful chessrnen (ships) in the Atlantic, thus giving Japan a freer hand In the Pacific. How. ever, we have kept such a large naval force In the Pacific that Japan Is worried. This was one topic reported to have been dis- cussed by Hitler and Mussolini last week - how to scare the United States more in the Att lantic, get more .. s. ships shift cd from the Pacific, so keep Japan unworrled, make sure she remains in the Axis.
 UNFINISHED JOB
 That reshuffling of defense agencies and personnel cleared up a lot of dragging underhrush and strengthened some glaring weak spots. The result is certain to be more efficient and more CO., ordinated administration.
 But the Job is far from fin- lshed. And privately the Presi-
 dent knows 1t.
 Still untouched is the vital need for a single, forceful, directive head of the whole defense program to give 1t the high-geared drive and initiative 1t urgently needs.

First of these bases will be air. dromes at Freetow1l, in the British colony of Sierra Leone, now being developed by Pan American Air- ways on the airplane ferrying route to Egypt.
 Second will be an important alrdrome in Liberia, the Afro- American colony just south of FreetoWn. Equally important will Do . submarine base in h. beria.
 The Liberian alrdrome is now being built In cooperation with the Firestone Rubber company, which some years ago decided to free itself of the Dutch-British rubber cartel by setting up extensive plantations in Liberia.
 Purpose of these bases iS to take the place of the U. S. fleet In the South Atlantic. Long ago, U. s. naval strateglsts fig ured they could reduce ma- terially the number of U. S. .warships around Hawai- and California, if there were enough big bombing planes on the Pa- ellie island bases to patrol the Pacific.
 So now U. S.. bombing planes operating from African coast will do the same thing for the South Atlantic in order to guard against Nazi moves from Vichy-domin- ated Dakar.
 The problem of shutting off Q NaM blitz in the South Atlan- tic is much harder than in the Pacific, due to one factor: dis tances in the Atlantic are about one-third less than those in the Pacific.
 However, these bases at Free- town and Liberia are the best bet the United States has, for long ago the Army and Navy vetoed . plan to send 2 foFce to take Dakar. Strategists fig ured this would require at least 100000 men =. unless Roosevelt wanted to risk Narvik.

Once upon time person could only take vacation in July or August. But today you can vacation any month in the year. And a great many people believe that vacations in September or October are the equal if not better than those during the extremely warm months Of course, it all depends upon your point of view and your vacation in the fall is just the same as another mans in August.
