Foreign Trade-Going, Going

The last expectation anybody might have had that the United States would profit through increased foreign trade because of the war will vanish when the figures for 1940 are completed. There was time when war in Europe meant that American cotton and wheat went to premium prices, eagerly sought by any means and at any prices. It means tenn porary prosperity. But today's world is a different world Let's take a look at what has happened to American export trade last year.
 The first eight months of the war had little effect There was some increase in sales of arms to Europe, and in material to South America which countries there found themselves suddenly unable to get from Europe. About last June, this be- gan to change. Suddenly Continental Europe, either occupied by the Germans or cut off by the British blockade, ceased to be a market at all. And the South American boom began to slow up, simply because those countries, too, were cut off from their usual markets in Europe and as result had no money with which to buy American goods
 Along came the armament boom. To- ward the end of the year, 62 per cent of our exports were going to the British Empire instead of the usual 40, and almost all of these were airplaneS, iron, steel, machine tools, machinery, and other war or potentially war materials Thus 194O is going to show total foreign trade greater than that of any year since 1929, up 25 per cent from last year. But almost all of it is trade in war materials, with export of surplus farm products actually Slumping. And even if this increased 1940 export total exceeds $4,000,000 900, it will still be less than half the 1920 figure.
 What does this mean? First, it means that to the extent to which our industrial plant becomes adjusted to arms export, we are breeding trouble for the time when that export ends. Second, the cards are stacked in today's world against foreign trade, the total volume of which, as well as our own share, tends to decline. Third, the South American market we wish so much to cultivate, is there all right, but it cannot increase unless and until we increase our imports. Loans, with their subsequent headaches, will stimulate this trade only temporarily.
 But the United States will have "fav- orable balance of trade" of $2,500, 100000 for 1940. You might think that's good. But we don't want imports for that bal ance. We don't want gold for it, even if anybody had it to pay, which they haven't. We've got gold. What then?

Costly Speedily

According to Highway Commissioner William J. Cox the Wilbur L. Cross Park way could be built to a point beyond Meriden by 1943 if the present LeglSla- ture would authorize a $10,000,000 bond issue. That's lot of money right at the present time and we're inclined to thlnk that the legislators may be able to Ind a lot of excuses not to approve such big order. But then again it may be brought home to them very wildly that speedy construction of this route is vital to the national defense needs of New England. It has been said that such parkway, speeding traffic in a diagonal line across the state from New York to Massachusetts would be of tremendous value in the event we are plunged into war.
 Even if it should become necessary to construct such highway in short time it couldn't actually be done any faster than is now planned, for there must be wholesale acquisition of rights of way along far-flung stretches where the route cuts through virgin territory. Elsewhere, of course, existing roads may be utilized. And then there's the new bridge across the Connecticut River at Hartford. So far as everyone believes that is to be uti- lized for the new parkway, inasmuch as it will be toll structure and this new road is to be one of several toll stops.
 Certainly every effort should be made to have the Wilbur L. Cross Parkway built right up to Hartford when the new bridge there is opened. How soon that will be we don't know, but once these projects are launched today they are completed with amazing rapidly. We aren't encouraging the Legislature to fool around with big bond issues for our high way expansion program, what with so many other pressing demands, but cer- tainly the members must do something to facilitate and expedite the work of building the new parkway. Just the mere fact that the Merritt Parkway is giving us tremendous national advertising is enough to warrant this.

Dangerous Ground

One portion of Governor Robert A. Hurley's inaugural address contained enough dynamite to blast a hole right through the center of the state. It's bound to occasion lot of discussion and probably end up in dog-f1ght on the floor of both houses. But it can never be said that Governor Hurley Shirked his duty or feared to enter where number of governors before him heSltated. We are referring now to that section ot his mes sage which called for reforms in our laws governing public utilities.
 It is charged with electricity; it is bound to be opposed, perhaps even from within his own party. But if the governor can get the Democratic side of the Legislature to stand shoulder to shoulder with him in seeking these reforms this state is going to witness merry old battle this coming spring. The governor wants more con- plete regulation of our utilities and a broader base for their taxation. He also thinks that the present laws governing the rights of municipalities to own and operate their own utilities ought to be modified.
 This is a significant feature of the proposed reform. It ought to warm the COcKleS OI Mdyoi OeolSe OoyAe AeaAV in New Britain, for the mayor is an advo- cate of municipal ownership and wants nothing more than city-oWned electric plant. But there are so many regulations to be satisfied that his ambitions along this line have been somewhat lessened of recent months. With the encouragement of the governors reo'-""' for '''i1itv low changes anything might happen. But nothing will WithouC d pattle and tn4s may be one in which party lines will be torn asunder, for we might even witness the new order in Republican ranks call ing for support of modified program along the lines the governor suggests. And then again old-line Republicanism may prevail.

down the ladder went heavenly mes sengers taking the prayers of men
 to heaven and bringing back the
 manifold blessings of God
 The young man awoke with the
 startled exclamation, Surely the Lord is in this place, and I knew it not" The last thing his eyes had
 looked upon as he dropped off to sleep was the face of bare hill.
 Under the magic of slumber, the
 landscape has been transformed into a golden ladder resplendent with heavenly glory.
 The ladder arose right from where the boy was sleeping. A barren hill was transformed into something of celestial glory. He discovered super natural forces in place where he
 least expected to find them. These
 are the lessons which the scene teaches to men of all ages. A ladder which reaches to heaven is set up at our feet. The ladder, is the circum- stances of our daily lives transformed
 by the touch of God. Powers so great that human words cannot de- scribe them are round about us all the time, eager to bless us on our earthly pilgrimage.

A Bridgeport legislator plans to intro duce bill in the General Assembly this year that, if passed, would effect every town and city in the state. This bill would outlaw all tax bills not collected within ten years. It would be retroactive, too, so that any number of accounts go- ing back for years would be automatically closed, even though the city or town might be exerting efforts to secure payment The purpose behind the measure is to grant relief to taxpayers who claim that they are not delinquent in their taxes as the city or town may be doing: Many tax payers allege today that bills sent them for back taxes have been paid, but often can't produce the receipts, On the other hand there are just as many cases where individuals haven't actually paid the taxes and probably hope to escape paying them. So the bill would really work in two ways. It might aid some taxpayers, wrongly termed delinquents, but it would also aid others, who actually are de- Enquent.

Selected Poem
WHITE STALLION

WHITE STALLION (Glenn Ward Dresbach in the New York Sum Above the drifts on the silent land, Against the sunset, Swirled the crows
 Across the windy skies. And I saw on hill of the blowing snoWs The wild white stallion of Winter stand And roll his fiery eyes. Winds tossed his mane upon the crest, His great neck arched with the snowy hill. And far below him spread Bare woods and meadows strangely still But the thing that remember best Was the proud lift of his head. His pride in freedom-though he meet The cold that groans in rock and tree!
 No mortal strength compels That force, no blow shall ever be A stubborn weight his hoofs shall beat untitled sound of bells.

attached to the new super-de- , fense board. This stratagem, he hoped, would put him beyond the brickbats and the clamOr for his scalp.
 Hand-in-glove with him in this plan was William H. McReynolds, civil service secretary of the De- fense Commission, who also is under fire for bungling and who had a hand in getting Palmer his job.
 So far, the pair have had no luck with their ingenious idea. When McReynolds trotted it out at recent Commission meeting it was promptly squelched. Sev- eral commissioners made it clear they had no intention of permit ting Palmer to get out of their jurisdiction if they could help it.
 Later, they added privately that the only out they would favor for him was "Out for gOOd".

Within the next two months Congress is expected to take some sort of official action about reapportioning it's member ship. If it doesn't, automatically changes will be made on the basis of the 194O census figures.

Up in Massachusetts there is a move afoot to have the elm officially desig- mated the state tree. And at the same time they want the chickadee to be made the state bird. A recent statewide poll determined these two choices. It was conducted by the Forest and Park Asso- ciation The choice of the elm by Mas sachusetts is particularly good one, we think. Connecticut could also designate the same tree, unless it preferred the maple, but we rather imagine the elm would win in a poll. We don't think the chickadee would though. The starling could win on numbers, but never on popularity Maybe we'd pick the blue iay, with us summer and winter

WISELY RETAINED (Hartford Times)

The reappointment of Deputy State Treasurer Thomas H. Judd, by State Treasurer Dr. Frank M. Anastasio, is a publicly acceptable reversal of recent indications when MT. Judd applied for a retirement pension on the surmise that he was not to be continued in office by the new treasurer.
 MT. Judd should again prove, as he has repeatedly in the past, a very useful assistant to a new in- cumbent of the top position in the State Treasury. It is important that the fiscal operations of that depart ment be carried on in flawless man. ner.
 Having served under several Dem ocratic and Republican governors, MT. Judd is the embodiment of con- tinuity in that office. In view of his willingness to be reappointed, it is a bit puzzling why the three doctors who examined him in connection

Hugh Walpole Adds to Clan Series

Hugh Walpole adds another im- portant novel to his chronicle Of the vigorous romarcing ferries clan in The Brigh: Pavilions" ((Dou- bleGay Doran: $250). Fifth in the series, 1t is chonologically the first, for it tells the story of Nicholas in Elizabethan England. and Rogue Herries, who Swaggered, laughed and loved in the 18th century.
 Nicholas is a worthy sire for such adventurous descendants. An al- most tender hearted giant of a man, an expert swordsman, Nicholas Herr.es typ,fies the strength of an awakening England, in the dark ness of religious persecution, hu-' man savagery. Turbulent, conditions of Elizabeth's struggle with Mary, i Queen of Scots, provide realistic, but brutal background for the action ot | the novel
 Herries made an enemy when he tried to save helpless fugitive from Philip IrvineiS dogs. He fought IT, vine then, wounded him, but the hatred of this powerful foe was QSSJlIlGC tO pursue 11Illl AOl ySelAo' " was Irvine who tortured Robin, Nicholas brother, Irvine who wreck ed the life of Nicholas beautiful cousin, the girl Robin loved. No brothers could have been i more different than Nicholas and Robin. Nicholas was a man of ac- tion; Robin a dreamer and ar idealist. When Robin sheltered a fugitive priest, aided the cause of the Scot queen, he signed his own death warrant. Irvine broke him on the rack.
 The story of this feud and how Nicholas avenged his brother is Walpole at his best. It is not pretty, costumed historical novel of cavaliers and queens The tor ture chamber scenes are terrifying ly vivid.
 For unparalleled action, Walpole gives you the ceath struggle of two powerful enemies, fighting on a l hilltop in storm, settling quarrel l that had endured for years. It is smashing climax to an outstand- ! ing story.

This: Reconcile ourselves to the idea that foreign trade is declining. Plan for that. In the meantime study every plan that permits greater import of goods from friendly countries without too strongly competing with local industry. In the long run foreign trade must be mutual - we can only continue to export roughly to the same extent that we are willing and able to import.
