COL. DONOVAN IS BACK FROM EUROPE

New York, March 18-(UP)--Col. William J. wild BilD Donovan, who returned today from three month tour Of the war zones as special observer for Secretary Of Navy Frank Knox, said he had gathered information he hoped would be "of value to the United States.
 q have been a good many miles about 25,000-on the sea, in the air and in the desert" Donovan said shortly after stepping ashore from Pan American AirWays' Yankee Clipper.
 T have seen the interplay of the various forces of economies, mili- tary activities and politics, as well as morals. I have seen lot of modern warfare. I've seen. too, how important the administrative and maintenance side of war is.
 With all I've learned, I hope can give informs'ion of value tc our own country <. the preparation of its defenses," Donovan said.

Artificial Prosperity In Armament Program
Improved Business Conditions in U. s. Without Sound Basis Warns H. H. tieimann, Credit Assn. Executive

although farm prices will still fall short of parity with industrial products.
 Tt is also not unlikely that. when peace finally ensues, for a tempo rary period of time our agricultural communities will have an advan- tage over the industrial sections. With peace in Europe our produc- ton of armaments and Instruments of war for Europe will cease rather abruptly.
 Such Q condition could open the way to shipment of great quantities of food from the U. s. A. Shipping facilities would then be available. Europe would be anxious to get our farm products. since reconstruction would mean some continuance of the rationirg that is now wide spread and inclusive.
 While the agriculturalists may not anticipate a feast, even for a temporary period of time, under present world conditions, 1t is equally unlikely they will face fam inc immediately following the war They may be given a temporary deferment from entry into the eco- homie battle for world trade and for the postwar readjustment that will be facing industry.
 Eventually, of course, the farm CTS will have to face this readjust- ment. It is not unlikely that after the conflict is over more of the world will be opened up to migra- tion and to the spread of intensive farming abroad as well as greater naturalization. The long-range prospects, therefore, offer little more solace to the farmer than to the American industrialist.
 Farm Policies
 "1n the meantime, we are con- tinuing our farm relief payments. Many minds have given a great deal of thought to the farm prob lem. This is not intended to be critical of the present method of trying to bring parity to the farm ing section but 1t should be pointed out that @ thorough, unbiased re- search study of the rigid and bur- densome real estate taxation im- posed on farmers might suggest a type of relief that would be short step. at least, in the right direction.
 "The difficulty of securing this type of relief comes because of the traditional methods of taxation in effect and because of the various taxing bodies. Our states rely on the real estate tax as a basis for stability of income. However the solution, 1t appears, lies in reason- able extension of income taxes"

be necessary to pump water to the higher sections of the city. This would require the continued an- nual expenditure of about $30.- 900, which will increase in time owing to wearing out of equip ment and the increased demand for water in these higher sections, the only sections which are grow ing or for typographical reasons can grow. The high level pipe line would be safer and more efficient. It would save $30,000 year, the present cost of pumping, which is about the interest on the cost in excess of the cost of low level line parallel to the present line (about $1,000,000
 Easing their opinion on the above information, the Executive Committee of the Waterbury Tax payers Association has voted that they favor the proposal to con- struct immediately a new high level pipe line and 8 third res- ervoir.

New Reservoir Pipe Line to Provide Better City Service
RECEIVER NAMED FOR NEGRO UNIT.
Assets of Business League in Danger of Waste
 Charges Bank

Anthony E. Robert of Waterbury has been appointed temporary re- ceiver of the Negro Business League, Inc, of Waterbury, by Superior Court Judge Frank P. McEvoy. The action comes at the request of the Colonial Trust company, executor of the estate of the late James E Kefford, who, as owner of 27l shares in the League, is the principal stock holder.
 The Negro Business League is listed as having capital stock of $l0,000, at par value of $25 for each of 320 outstanding shares. MT. Kefford, before his death, was en- gagged in buying up all outstand- ing stock.
 The Colonial Trust company charging that the assets of the com pany, six family block at 95 Pearl street, are in danger of waste because. there Is no known author ity of the company to take care of taxes and other matters per- taining to an incorporated concern requested the appointment of the receiver, and asked that the assets of the firm be liquidated.
 Keffords share in the company, if recovery is made at $25 per share will be $6,775. Atty. William w. Gager filed the request for the eX- ecutor of the estate.

Although the United States IS mastering out its army of unem- ployed, just as Europe did in the past decade, with an armament program, Henry H. Heimann, exec utive manager of the National As- sociation of Credit Men, declares in his Monthly Business Review re- leased yesterday that the present industrial activity will not build sound prosperity.
 "The artificial base of the busi- ness upturn lies in the fact that production is concentrated ill major part upon armaments. Armaments may protect the nation but they do not improve its standard of liv- ing" he cautions.
 In analysing the position of ag- riculture and the effect of the Eu- ropean war upon the American farmer, MT. Heimann declares that "the farming industry embraces SC large portion of our population that 1t must share fully in any prosperity If the nation Is to be truly and progressively prosperous Farm and Defense
 "In a recent series of speaking engagements throughout the mid west heard considerable discus sion, particularly in the farming areas, about the consequences ot the present armament program and of world conditions upon the prices of farm products.
 If I am to judge from the con- tacts made, our middle western farmers are for many reasons largely opposed to our entry into the war. Their patriotism cannot be questioned. They want to see us thoroughly prepare ourselves for any emergency.
 But there is also a distinct feel ing that world conditions are once again exacting a heavy toll from the farmer. They do not feel they will get the benefit of any mater ially increac d prices for farm products. They have even less doubt that they will be compelled to pay increased prices for farm machin- cry, have increased operating costs due to taxes, and meet rising prices for commodities they need on the farm and consume in the home.
 "While there can be little ques- ton that farm prices will not sky rocket as they did quarter-cen- tury ago, 1t Is difficult to see-de- spite our large surpluses-how farm prices can long remain at the pres- ent levels.
 Tt would seem that some in- crease in the price of farm products could naturally be expected and that such increase will lift the present agricultural income beyond that which the farmers have re- ceived in the past few years. Food for War or Peace
 with so many men engaged in the battle abroad, and irrespective of whatever supplies combatant countries may have built up, these countries are not producing as they normally would. And, of course. the subjugated nations are living un- der a rationing system as are their conquerors. ..
 "Under these circumstances it would only be natural to expect that in addition to our aid abroad help in the form of our surplus with war material, we will extend farm products to subjugated but non -belligerent lands.
 Such a program is now being advocated. It will be limited by the amount of shipping available to make delivery. If adopted, it will somewhat relieve our farm sur pluses. And thus. indirectly, the farm price structure should benefit,

Decline Noted In Number Of
 Relief Cases

As the city's employment fig- ures maintain a favorable trend the number of applications for relief continue to dwindle at the office of the city's welfare department. At the close of the month of February 503 fani- lies were on the departments rolls as compared to 565 fami- lies in January. The 503 fami- lies represent a total of 1,7A persons. Of the families 222 were on full relief; 281 on par tial and 176 in institutions. Eleven transient cases were also cared for during the month according to Superintendent Martin r. Hayden's monthly statement.
 With business and factories reacting to the stimulation of national defense orders the burden of relief as carried by the city for years is gradually growing less cumbersome and expensive.

 The new reservoir and pipe line, il is stated, will eliminate the need for large spending now necessary for pumping and will provide better water service for the city.
 The text of the letter follows: Hon. Vincent A. Scully, Mayor, City of Waterbury,
 City Hall,
 Waterbury, Connecticut.
 Dear Sir:
 You have requested the opinion of this association as to the ad- visibility of the immediate con- struction of second pipe line from the Wigwafn and Morris Watershed, and a third reservoir above the Morris Reservoir, at an approximate cost of $2,000,000 to be financed by a bond issue. It is impossible in the time available before the hearing before the coin- nittee of the General Assembly to Secure any concensus of opinion rom our members.
 It is our understanding, based pn information supplied by your self and by the City Engineer, that the situation is as follows. The present pipe line from the Wig wanl Reservoir has practical ca- pacity of about 10 million gallons a day. This is materially less than Its original capacity, because sf corrosion of the pipe which has never been cleaned since its con- struction over 40 years ago, and such cleaning Is impossible as this line is the only practicable supply to the City. At present there are rather frequent instances where the demand for water is at the rate of IS million gallons a day At such times there is real hardship to certain districts of the city on account of low pressure, and If a major fire should occur during such times the Fire Department would be seriously hampered. To supply water to the higher sec- tlonr, pumping Is now necessary, which costs about $30,000 a year. A considerable part of the pump ing equipment is many years old, and important additions or re- placements, or both, will very soon be necessary.
 The present proposal is to com plete the plan prepared by the late City Engineer, MT. Cairns, which has been approved by several out side engineers, by the construc- ton of a third reservoir and the completion of high level pipe line, the reservoid being essential to the use of the pipe line. This project complete will cost about $2,000000, and will give the city an adequate supply of water, with two pipe lines separated from each other, either of which could sup ply the city in emergency if the other were interrupted or dam aged. The proposed line has been already partially built, and about $1,000,0o0 has already been spent on 1t.
 An alternative proposal has been presented to build a second pipe line from the Wigwam Reservoir approximately parallel to the eX- isting line. This would cost about $l,000,000. would assure an adequate supply, but 1t would still
