Price Probe

The promptness with which Gov Rob- ert A. Hurley has ordered a probe of the recent increase in retail gasoline prices in Connecticut is encouraging to the aver age motorist. Undoubtedly there is need of governmental agencies being on the alert to detect efforts to "jack-up" prices for which there can be no legitimate req son. Whether or not this applies in tfe present instance we probably won't know until the state has concluded its inyes- tgation.
 It's no time for price increase whether it be gasoline or foodstuffs. We don't know if there is any better reason for the prices of many foods that are being paid today than there is for the increase In gasoline. Food costs have been going up gradually for a long time The increase has been so slight In many instances that it hasn't been noticeable, but household CTS comparing costs of today with costs of a year ago will readily see where they are paying more.
 With the State Defense Council taking a hand in the gasoline price probe we cer- tainly can expect some results. We've heard lot about what this agency could and would do for the state in this na.- tional emergency Here is the first real chance for something to be done.

minister was swamp. Simon of Mont fort called the first parliament, direct ancestor of the one whose house has been bombed, in 1265 A. D.
 For more than six hundred years, this Mother of Parliaments has been develop ing, finding new and better means by which free men may govern themselves. It is more than particular political in- stitution. It is an idea - an idea that has spread to take hold on the imagina- tion of men across the wide world. It is bigger than any building, stronger than stone or glass or steel. The French con- stitutional assembly, in 1789, barred from its house of meeting, took an oath to defend constitutional government - in a tennis court. The spirit of freedom needs no roof. Bombs may shatter the House; they cannot move the Commons.

Selling Will Help

There has been a great deal of talk about buying more from Latin America. Important talk, because increased trade between the Americas must be two-way -Latin-America can't buy our stuff un- less we buy theirs Most of the talk has stressed selling to the Latin Ameri- cans and buying from them. There hasn't been so much talk of their selling to us. Argentina is about to open up New York office to gather and relay to Buenos Aires information on what Ar- genuine products can be sold in the United States.
 It is good to see southern country briskly take hold of its end of this two- way trade; not merely to wait for North Americans to come and buy their stuff, but to come and sell 1t to us After all, North America is the greatest market in the world and South Americans who want to sell in 1t can't do better than to go out after the business.

The Right to Work

Differences of opinion between labor and management have way of clarify- ing themselves gradually and eventually, particularly in times of national emer- gency. Reasonable leaders on both sides can generally get together and iron out or compromise their differences. Wise lead- CTS of labor know the force of public opinion and know what the people are thinking at given time, especially at present.
 They avoid strikes and delayed produc- tion for national defense. While defend ing the right to strike" they also appre- ciated the right to work" and the right to earn". This right to work and to keep or spend ones earnings is one of the sacred civil liberties of the American people which differentiates us from the people of those unfortunate nations where one must work for the State and only get what some autocrat decides - generally a small pittance.

Talking about the recent appointments made by Gov. Robert A. Hurley the New Britain Herald had this to say among other things: The sumner in the appoint ments Is the case of Vincent P Dooley of New Haven, nominated for the Public Utilities Commission. Our Mayor Coyle of New Britain was supposed to have been slated for this appointment, but the May or has lost out grievously, and in favor of a gentleman who is commonly regarded as not possessing much hot indignation against the utilities. The Governor, we should say hasn't done so well by our mayor in this instance" Which only goes to prove that for every political ap- pointment made, there is score of po- litical disappointments. Perhaps the governor figured that If he made Mayor Coyle P. U. Commissioner the mayor would be after the utilities from dawn to dusk without let-up. Which would be one extreme and not happy medium.

Britain.
 The Republicans included Senator Bridges of New Hamp. shire, Chan Gurney of South Dakota, and Ball of Minnesota. They met with Vice President Wallace, Democratic Leader Barkley, Josh Lee of Oklahoma. Pepper of Florida, Truman of Missouri, Murray of Montana
 (who vigorously dlSagrees with his Is0luatiOnist M0ntanan c0l- league Burt Whecler), and sev- eral other Democrats.
 Ex-senator Ernest Gibson of Vermont, new head of the Com- mittee for Defending America by Aiding the Allies, was also present. .....
 Several senators, including the Republicans, felt that Roose- welt was failing to bring the seri- ousness of the international pie ture to the country, was letting public opinion lead him rather than leading 1t himself. They decided to get word to the White House to exert more leadership. ANTT.WILLKIE CAMPAIGN
 General Robert Wood, head of Sears -Roebuck and chairman Of the America First Committee, Is training his personal guns on Wendell Willkie, apparently in- furiated by the increasing rnili- tancy of Willkie's advocacy Of all-out aid to Britain.
 Wood IS telling isolation inti- mates that 1t is all-important to concentrate their fire on the lo40 COP standard bearer. Among those he conferred with on this "Get Willkie" drive was @ lead- ing New York publisher.
 Other America First leaders make no secret of their feeling that Willkie Is their most potent platform foe and of their desire to silence him. They ray that Willkie completely negates the effect of Colonel Charles Lind bergh whom the America Firstites believed would sweep the coun- try.

Indians Get a Defender

Lieutenant-governor Odell Shepard, presiding officer of the State Senate, doesn't think the press of the state was serious enough in discussing the recent claim of the Mohegan IndiaEs that they were entitled to $50,000,000 for property that the State of Connecticut took from them about 300 years ago He doesn't regard the situation or their claim as a joke and he thinks the treatment the Indians received at the hands of the state was "disgraceful'.
 Well, the newspapers did take the op- portunity to poke little fun at the caseA They've been doing that for good many years And perhaps it's a bit cruel on our part. But If the good pr. Shepard eX- poets us to start espousing the cause of the Mohegans and claim that the state should reimburse them, he'll find that this is hard, hard world. We can't quite see the state giving up anything like $50,- 000,000 to the Indians nor can we con- ceive the courts adjudicating the claim ln anything like round figures like these.
 It seems like pretty late date for the Mohegans to be making their claim. There is no good reason why it should be paid today than two years ago or ten or fifty or a hundred Why is the claim suddenly just one in 194l If it wasn't down through the past 250 years? All these thoughts and more run through ones mind now when we are asked to consider the matter seriously and not poke fun at the Mohegans in their efforts to right wrong done them by our Con- lecticut foreGathers

Below them the city spraWs along the Thames, trying to conceal in it's own dark ness the greatest concentration of human beings on the globe Eyes strain at the flickering dals on the instrument boards of the planes Pilots and bombers un- known and -to-beknoWn boys, make their calculations in silence, tense with concentration. signal, finger on lever, the press of finger on but ton, and the bombs plunge downward through the darkness.
 Edward the Confessor began the build- ing of Westminster Abbey in l050 A. D. For 900 years a race of men Worshiped God, crowned their kings, honored their great upon that spot along the Thames side. Down, down, out of the night sky shriek the bombs, and heap of smoking Wreckage smolders where kings had stood in awe. Into the stern old-fashioned room of the House of Commons, where Dlsraell and Gladstone debated and where Sir Edward Grey told the peoples represen- tatiyes that war had come in 1914, falls compressed destruction. Unto the British Museum, greatest depositary of the worlds knowledge it falls again. The boys in the bombers, conscious of noth- ing but that they have done their job, are already far away, perhaps already on their way back to their bases, as firemen blow their way among the jumbled benches of the House of Commons.
 What was it that thus became heaps of rubble at the touch of button by ob- scure German youths high ir the night sky? Nothing that was not itself only brick and stone, timber and cement and tinted glass. The House of Commons is more than that It is an idea, and bombs cannot destroy it.

of foreign languages in their daily lives that cannot but prove to be inimical and adverse to public well fare and hostile to the furtherance and maintenance of a solid Demo- cracy based on expressions eminat- ing from the use of the English language.
 Foreign language courses in our public high schools are not essential to the future welfare of the grad- uates. It is wisely the course to &C., quire proficiency In speaking Eng fish as 1t enhances the possibility of civil and business life. By studying foreign language, much time is wasted that could be devoted to inl- proving their knowledge of English.
 The foreign language courses were introduced into the curriculum of our public high schools as a politi- cal expectancy at the behest of for eign language groups. All foreign language courses in our public high schools should be abolished because 1t causes distraction in the acquir- in of proper English.
 Allow no newspaper and periodi- cal publishing except in the English language. By allowing these for- eignisms, it keeps alive hyphenate groups, also creating a barrier tC complete citizenship and loyalty to the United States would not appear superficial.
 Any move or advice to eliminate courses in foreign languages in pub lie schools is fraught with political dynamite, as a school executive learned in 1886 when he advised a foreign language discontinuance. A well-known Mayor countermanded the order and salved the temper of the foreign-minded group.
 Recently Paulsboro, a New. Jersey town. decided to scrap all foreign language courses in its public schools. Furnishing language cours- es to a minimum number of pupils who gain no material advantage to equip them for their life's work is

It appears to be an excellent plan of action, and would be feas- ible one to follow in Waterbury Public Schools, instead of furnish- ing foreign language courses to minimum of pupils, who, when school days are over, will find nc necessity to use it. After all, Nationalistic pride, 'tr having foreign language continued that but instructs an incofsideri able number of pupils, with no maj terial advantage that would equiE or prepare a pupil to fight the bat ties of life or is necessary in our sol cial and business life, is to reducH the pupils aptitude to acquire practical education.

According to reports from New York the Aquarium Is definitely out of Battery Parks development scheme and 1t also won't be allowed to come within the pre- cincts of the Bronx Zoo. So somewhere in the city will have to be provided fit. ting and proper home for the fish and other aquatic animals housed therein. The building, according to the N. r.. Times, is better torn down because 1t ap- parently is an architectural atrocity on which the city residents are fed up. Fun nv, but the outlanders who make up the majority of visitors to the Aquarium rare- ly get this impression of the old building.
