land are also faced with an acute shortage of trained help. Even in the depression period the number of graduates was barely sufficient to take care of replacements due to death, retirement and at the present time the demand is far in excess of the supply not only in this state, but throughout the country. Since the period of college training required is four years, no relief of this Situ- ation seems imminent and, as pr. Johnson pointed out, unless more high school students choose to enter upon the study of pharmacy imme- diately, the next few years may bring greatly curtailed pharmaceutical service to the people of the state.
 The local College of Pharmacy is now part of the University of Con- necticut and for the first time this fall will function under the new arr rangement, since the utilization took place on July l, 1941, after the end of the last school year.

Victory For Allies
 To Benefit Russia
Norman Thomas, Socialist, Discounts Nazi's Threat
 to United States; John T. Flynn Shares HOnOrs

of the term would be a very unlike ly outcome of the present struggle, and challenged the interventionist to show how Hitler could proceed against this country, either mili- tarily or economically, even assum- ing he Is successful in subduing Europe.
 Stalin to Benefit
 The Socialist speaker was strong ly applauded when he stated that he thought total victory for Eng land and Russia, even with full American participation in the con- flict, would be equally unlikely, and went on to say that if such as vic- tory were won, it would benefit Stalin, certainly, rather than democracy.
 MT. Thomas asserted that making democracy work in this country would be a far better contribution than entering the present world conflict, in which exhaustion would be the only result. '"The old order, he said, is done for anyhow. We want it to give way to a nobler democracy, not to an American Fascism which would be the con- sequence of war"
 "Cf recent months, he continued, "interventionist feeling, despite the liberals and those not so liberal who continually sing the praises of democracy, has become more and more openly imperialistic. It seems 1 that we are to seek a false and dangerous prosperity by becoming the senior partner to the British Empire. Whether he fully realizes it or not, the President definitely and unconstitutionally tried to com init this nation to such an alliance in his famous conference with MT. Churchill"
 MT. Flynn devoted himself to a sardonic description of this same conference, which he denounced as 3 fragrant violation of the demo- cratic method of government by discussion. He termed the eight point program. which the two lead- CTS agreed upon as the eight plati- tudes", and asserted that the docu- ment was meaningless.
 He stressed the fact that previous to the conference, this country, through President Roosevelt, es- poused the four freedoms enunci- ated by the President = freedom from fear, freedom from want, free- dom of speech, and freedom of re- llgion, and that after the confer ence, those freedoms had been re- duced to two in number by she abandonment of the latter two, flor fear of what Joe might think".
 Aggression
 MT. Flynn discussed particularly, also, the situation in Asia, assert ing that there was no essential dif- ference between the aggression" of England and Russia in Iran, and that of Germany in the Low Coun- tries, or Russia in Finland. He insisted that England's posi- tion in Asia was critical, with h. 1 dia, keystone of the empire, threat ened from the west by Germany, and from the east by Japan, and repeated ironically MT. Churchilrs recent assertion that if this country should get into war with Japan, England would stand behind us. During the meeting, Chairman Ryan read a letter of congratuia- l ton from U. s. Senator John A. Danaher and 8 telegram from Gen. Robert E. Wood. He also paid tribute to group of Gold Star Mothers who attended in a body.

The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-08-28

A very enthusiastic audience which filled Wilby high school audi torium to capacity last evening heard Norman Thomas, Americas leading Socialist, and John T. Flynn, columnist, and head of the New York chapter of America First, deliver hard hitting speeches against our involvement in war.
 Others who took part in the pro- gram were E. Jackson Ryan, chair man of the meeting; John Festa, president of the local chapter of America First; Rev. Delmar s. Markle, rector of St. Georges Epis-, copal church, Bridgeport; and Mrs. Francis E. Phillips of Bridgeport, who has been very active in speak ing around the state. Rev. Michael McVerry of this city gave the in- vocation.
 MT. Flynn was constantly inter- rupted by a very appreciative audi ence, as he devoted most of his speech to a satiric description of the recent meeting btween Presi- dent Roosevelt and Prime Minister Winston Churchill, the latter of whom was the butt of frequent booing during the course of the long meeting.
 Keep America Out of War Mir. Thomas, introduced to the audience by Rev. MT. Markle, an- ilcunced frankly that he did not belong to the America First group, but to another organization dedi- cated to keeping America out of war, but added that if the America First partisanS did espouse the cause of peace and the brotherhood of man, that he would be glad at any time to speak from the same platform as members of that or ganization.
 He then proceeded to a discus sion of the case against interven- tion, through consideration of the case for intervention made by hon. est liberals who really believe that they are speaking for democracy. They exaggerate their influence. Behind the drive for intervention the most powerful factor is the sub- NOAASS~AOuo CNCA1 A4O4C t44an COk1SClOuS urge of our economic order for terribly dangerous and temporary expansion through armament eco monies and war"
 MT. Thomas admitted his agree ment with the interventionists ln condemning Nazi cruelty, duplicity, and intolerance. He admitted that a complete Nazi victory in the pres ent war would make the world a very uncomfortable one for democ- racy in general and America in par- ticular.
 He contended, however, that a complete Nazi victory in any sense
