idea of permanent change in mind. The mere fact that the political capital of the country is Washington is not reason whatever for the presence there of many of the establishments whose enormous plant and staff make them like great white-collar factories. There is no more sense to it than if General Motors or Ford were toinsist on making every part and assembling every car in Detroit
 Some 11,000 employees are affected by moves already ordered, with more to come. To New York, St Louis, Chicago, Pittsburgh, and Philadelphia they go, to do in other places part of the work of the Rural Electrification Farm Security, Pat ent Office, National Park Service, Fish and Wild Life Service, Indian Service Wage-Hour, Naturalization, Employees Compensation Securities and Exchange, Railway Retirement, Social Security, and other federal functions. Even when as many as 10000 such employees have been transferred from Washington, that city will be as big as ever, since 10000 war workers are to move in.
 In the future, decentralization of Wash ington is indicated by everything that has been learned during the past 10 years Many world capitals have had to fly be- fore the blast of war-the more highly centralized they were, the harder the task. Improved communication in the fu- ture will keep branch offices in far cities in as close touch with the administrative head as is possible today in some of the labyrinthine Washington offices in which visitors and even employees lose. their way. These transfers, forced by war, can also be made to serve the future need of streamlining the federal government.

City Is Fortunate

The awarding of the contract for con- struction of the third reservoir and dam in Morris to New Haven firm for sum slightly under $700,00o represents fine stroke of fortune for the City of Water bury Of course this is said merely on the basis of figures submitted for the work and not for the actual work itself which naturally can't be judged until completed But the successful contractor has done work for this city before and it has proved generally satisfactory so there is no reason to believe that the water works project won't stand up under the tests of time and usage.
 However as dollars and cents propo- sition the city seems most fortunate in- deed. The federal government will pro- vide $500,000 for this third reservoir and dam job, if it finds that the contractor is fulfilling requirements that federal engineers demand when such funds are provided There doesn't seem to be any doubt but what the specifications agreed upon by the contractor will prove accept able to government engineers and will meet all the requirements. If so then the city apparently is obliged to furnish less than $200,000 of the total amount of the project cost.
 This in. turn means that the city can be extremely economical in the sale of water bonds for which it received legis- lative permission earlier this year to sell as much as $2,000,000 worth. When the city's far-reaching water improvement program is completed, and it looks as if 1t would be completed far in advance of expectations, there should still be left considerable amount for unissued bonds. This is distinctly to the advantage of the taxpayer for it means that bonded in- debtedness will not touch the figures es- timated and consequently annual reduc- ton of the same and interest payments will be lower than estimated
 Good management, perhaps bit of luck, but certainly policy of doing what is best for the city at large are bringing in good dividends

The Horrors of War

Saturdays news was story of stark horror in the far-away Philippines. The old section of the city was reduced to piles of rubbish and rubble. No one has estimated fully the extent of the prop erty damage, the number of lives lost as Japanese bombers rained down bomb after bomb on the undefended city, only "A hours before the attack designated as an "open city" Japan refused to recog- nize the United States designation con- trary to all "rules of warfare" and in- ternational code.
 Americans must become accustomed to this. We are under attack by nation that refuses to give any quarter. Actu- ally we ask for none. We expect to give none. It's a war of extermiration, but what pity that 1t is to be accompanied by wholesale destruction and loss of lives of unoffending men, women and children who simply ask to be allowed to live their lives as God intended them to do. It will be hard for American au- thorities to show any mercy in their plans for the offensive against Japan in the future.
 If Japan hoped by this merciless bombing to instill fear or terror into the hearts of Americans she failed miserably. If anything was needed to intensity desire for revenge or for lnaugufaClon or a cruel, relentless war upon the Japanese 1t was just such a senseless attack as that on Manila last week. Nothing was done to further the fall of the Philippines. If anything the native FilipinoS and the American troops and civilians will fight the fiercer now to repel the invader and then to carry the war right to his own vulnerable shores.
 Old Manila reduced to ruins, its price less treasures in old buildings gone for ever will long live as token of Japanese treachery It will be recognized by history in years to come as the indirect cause of countless disasters visited on the Japa- nese people.

Christian Science MOnitOr)

(ChrlStlan Science Monitor)
 The recommendation of reader, in the adjoining letter column, that the usual New Years Eve cele- brations be eliminated this year, merits earnest consideration both by the public and those who cater to celebrants. The decision of New orleans and Mobile to cancel their scheduled Mardi Gras carniyals in February because of tAe war lends weight to arguments against bois- terous bacchanalian behavior af- fecting large numbers of the popu- lation.
 With Americas young men making the supreme sacrifice on the islands of the Pacific, the usual mass revelry of New Years Eve would be inex- cusable. The spirit of such occasions would violate propriety, the effect on workers in defense would be costly, and, moreover, money so wasted might better go into defense bonds or stamps. Normal social intercourse has its place and hap- piness 1t an asset to morale. But not carousing. The years end, 1t is to be hoped, will find many Americans dedicatIng themselves to sincere ser- vice for a righteous purpose and to efforts in behalf of their country.

Decentralizing Washington

Long before the war emergency came, thoughtful men in Washington and else where were considering plans for decen- nous bureaus and establishments on the Potomac. Now what men were coming to believe was desirable has become an urg- eut necessity. Washington has swollen far beyond it's capacity to contain the ris- ing flood of federal functions and func- tlonaries. The war has turned rising cur rent into a flood, and sheer inability to provide bed-and-desk doom in the capital slsakes it necessary to move some of the szieral bureaus to other cities.

before Lincoln became President, Edwin A. Stanton in a law suit in Cincinnati had gone out of his way to humiliate and belittle the man from Illinois, but when Lincoln be- came President, he made Stanton his Secretary of War. Chase wanted the Republican nomination in 1860, criticized the nomination of Lincoln, patronized his chief when he was established in the White House, and then plotted to wrest the nomina- tion from him in 1864. Throughout all this Lincoln maintained an un- wavering spirit of good will toward this disloyal cabinet member, and when the opportunity presented it. self, appointed Chase Chief Justice of the United States, saying, "Chase is the best man for the place."
 Chase was so bewildered and overyhelmed by his appointment that he wrote to a friend, T can- not understand this man." Nobody could, of course, until in later years they had chance to wonder how completely Lincoln had risen above himself and his personal desires for the good of the nation.

The question of a proper spot for an air raid warning siren in New Haven is apparently causing some little discussion and investigation New Haven is more or less flanked by East and West Rocks both of which have been considered as the ideal spot for the siren. However, there seems to be some doubt as to whether the sirens blasts could be heard in all sections if placed on either one of the two hilltops. Here's a matter that may come up to perpleX lot of Connecticut communities. The smaller ones don't have to worry much, because they can only agree on centrally-located siren or other warning signal. But cities like New Haven, Bridgeport, Hartford, Wa terbury, New Britain, and few others may have some trouble in locating spot that will allow the warning signal to penetrate to all the sections of the town- ship that are inhabited. The purpose of such a signal is not to warn the gre..ter number of the inhabitants, but to warn all of them. It may be that some central signal will have to be amplified by others in different sections of the city to amplify the alarm.

Draft officials have their work cut out for them in the next year or more What with fresh registration coming up they would naturally find little or no time on their hands, but right now they're busy enough with changing the classi, fications of thousands of men who had previously been placed in the HI divi- sion. This represented men over the. age of 28 who were weeded out of the draft Army during the past few months. Now they are up for call once again and per haps may be the first back in service. But right after them will come host of others made eligible by widening of the draft ages.

The long roll is again extended Names are being added to the long list of those who died for their America.
 Before the American Revolution was well launched, the names of Gray, Cald- well, Attucks, Carr, and Maverick were written in blood on the streets of Boston
 Now the grim roll is being called again; man, Mitchell, Fletcher, Plant, Cebert, Guthrie, Schmersahl Byrd, Cashen, Man ley it is like roll call of all great and various America.
 Now we have again another lengthen- ing roll of dead. It will unroll yet farther before the dawn. They must not have died in vain. That is our task.

Reason for this was not only that the Pacific fleet was handi. capped by the Pearl Harbor att tack, but also because the Army and Navy lacked long-range pur- suit planes. And the greatest need at Wake, Midway and the Philippines were planes able to ward off Jap bombers.
 We have thousands of pursuit planes In the United States, but the only present way to get them across the Pacific, Is to take off their wings, crate them and put them on slow cargo boats. Thus they would be subjected to the grave risk of Jap submarines.
 And the amazing fact is that the Army Ar Corps three years ago begged, urged and cajoled to build long-range pursuit planes able to fly to the islands of the Pacific.
 The man who hammered at the Air Corps on this point until he was black and blue in the face was Major Alexander F. de Seversky famous Russo o-American plane de- signer, who wanted the Army to double the fire power of pursuit planes and also double their fly ing range, a. an additional cost of $l,800 per plane.
 FANTASTIC IN 1888
 However, Gentral Hap" Arnold chief of the Air Corps, vetoed the idea because, he said, "the tactical advantage is not worth the extra cost"
 In January 1888 Seversky had flown i,400 miles from New York to Havana In hours and min utes, breaking the record. It was after this that he went to Arnold, thinking the Air Corps chief might be impressed by the dramatic
