More Amateurs

Yesterday we got around to discussing "amateur" diplomats, the term having been created to apply to those members of our foreign service department whose conduct has not seemed in keeping With their official duties. We endeavored to show that the term "amateur" need not be one of disparagement and that the recent case of former-governor George Earle, Minister to Bulgaria, was not one to produce confusion or conSternatlon among most Americans.
 Today it's amateur poultrymen' and the New York Sun breaches lesson on the mistakes that many Americans make in dreaming about the fortunes that can be made in raising poultry in the country. The Sun came to it's point after reading that the British are going in for chicken raising on quite large scale in an effort to aid in national defense. The moral was that backyard chicken-raiSing isn't a lark and that the theory of throwing food at the chicks and watching the eggs pile up was false one.
 To this we agree, but not to all the claims of The Sun, such as Hens, 1t is generally discovered, do not lay to any generous extent except during the short season of the year when eggs are rldlc- ulouSly cheap. They are subject, too, to contagious temperamental disturbances; for no apparent reason the whole flock will go on strike and produce no eggs at all for fortnight or more. They are prone to epizootic diseases which will clean out hen-roost in less time than it takes to find out what is the matter with them ="
 Raising hens for meat or eggs is busi- ness, not hobby. Those who have suc- ceeded at it, and the number is ever in- creasing, recognized this fact. They are the ones who rotate their flocks so that egg production won't fall off when the market isn't glutted They are the ones whose flocks are disease-free. They are the ones whose poultry houses reflect the owners interest and attention to the last detail. Many of them were city people who retired to the country to raise chick ems; others were born to it. But they con- stitute profession of amateurs who have the professional outlook.

Which Side Won?

Now that the Legislature has approved refunding bond issue for the City of Bridgeport and the governor has signed the bill of authorization there is time to sit back and ponder on this past week of acrimonious debate and epithet-hurling. Out of this altercation will surely come one forward looking proposal. Other ci- ties will be seeking refunding bonds from the Legislature What will be the atti- tude towards their petitions? Probably it will be approval.
 As it now stands Bridgeport has it's re- funding bonds, but Gov Robert A. Hurley has Mayor Jasper McLevy's agreement not to use the bonds to lower the city'S tax rate. So on this score both sides have apparently broken even. If the matter is to remain distinctly political, though, it might look as if the Democrats had suc- ceeded where Republicans before them had failed. They forced the Socialist re- gime to do something it really didn't want to do. All of which makes Gov. Hurleys position at the Capitol look pret- ty strong.
 Whether or not it was political acumen that dictated it or personal feelings en- tered into the matter it was more or less helpful to Waterbury'S chances of having its proposed bond issue approved that the Senate Democrats split on the Bridge port issue. If the Waterbury bill is sub jected to as thorough committee exam ination as was Bridgeport's there need be no fear of the bill meeting with disap- proval. It is an out-and-out-out effort to finance major city project in the best way possible. It is not political device in any form or fashion. Let it not be considered such at Hartford

The A. E. F. Comes Home

The last of the 100000 soldiers who went from the United States to France during the World War are only now, more than 20 years later, struggling home. Many American soldiers stayed behind when the A. E. F. came home. They married French girls, and settled in Paris or in the little towns and villages they had come to know At rate of 100 a week the Red Cross is now moving them and their families to Lisbon Cn their way to the country most of them have not seen in 20 years, and which their wives and children have never seen.
 It is tragic end to 20 years of effort to build life in another land to which they had become attached But, of course, the German conquest which wiped out so many Frenchmen has wiped out these Americans, too. Thus a thin trickle of good French blood is being added to our national life, and welcome it is, just as these veterans of the A. E. F. are vel come, though their homecoming has been so long delayed.

Continent in which subject peoples and inferior races" shall labor hopeleSsly for ever at menial work for whatever pay will barely sustain life, to provide raw mater ials and food for the master race" whose Berlin would be a sort of capitol of the world,
 Studies and reports by the Department of Commerce have now reinforced private information on the means taken to loot the conquered countries with velvet fling CTS. With military control over the bank ing and currency of conquered peoples, the NaziS simply debaSe their money in terms of German marks, thus enabling themselves to "buy" in conquered lands anything they want at any price they choose to set. That includes not only producer goods, but mines, factories and farms Huge "army of occupation costs" are being assessed on all countries which have been given the advantage" of Ger man protection" Exports are com pletely controlled from Germany Banks and private safe-deposit boxes were simply footed.
 The very people who probably hoped to save more of their property and posi- ton by yielding rather than fighting are now being despoiled. Though they are being robbed by modern methods, yet it is robbery Though they are being en- slaved in gilded shackles, yet it is slavery. Even those still technically fee have only the freedom of a lapdog on leash.

Hartford is going to get ready for a change in the senatorial district lines throughout the state. While the capital city doesn't expect to lose or gain by the proposed redistricting plan, it neverthe- less feels that the lines of the three dis tricts, included within its limits, ought to be redraWn. The same could probably be said about other communities where there are two or more districts within the one city. In Hartford the legislators already are seeking to have bills raised in committee which would set up new senatorial district lines. Certain election precincts would be transferred from one district to another, so that an even bal ance might be maintained in population for all three AS there are only four cl- ties in the state with more than one dis trict, such changes might be accom- plished rather painlessly if all four fol- lowed the same general plan.

Streamlined Slavery

Is poison less deadly because it is chocolate coated? Are chains and shackles less oppressive If gilded? or course not. But those truths must be only now gradually dawning on many of the people of conquered Europe.

CIVILIZATIONS PATH SEEMS EVER AWAY FROM BETTER
 THINGS

Editor, Waterbury Democrat:
 The late John Galsworthy raised the point of what is civilization? If civilization, judged by its ethical value, was ever high or low before the last war, he said, it was more than doubtful; but 1t certainly was low before 1918. The Great War, said he, was not a thunderbolt launched at lInoffending mankind from the blue: it was stealing Fate carefully nurtured within the bosom of modern civilization, the natural l, and gradually reached result of a crude competitive system pursued all most of its limitS-the climax, in fact, of the individual, political and national rivalries which had been speeding to this end since the mid- de ages. 5:s,s
 A cataclysm such as war makes stockholders of us all, and we are now recording in a hundred ways where we stand, with the praise worthy intention of standing some where else, Said GalsWorthy: War does not change human nature by tot or title, and has added to, rath- CT than taken from, our inventions and discoveries, has developed en- zines of destruction and flying ma chimes, for purpose of trade of war, and increased the possibilities of a general production. It has wasted the youth and wealth of Europe to such a degree as to shift the real storm center of the world to the countries lying east and west. It has exaggerated the conception of nationalism, and on the whole has lowered human liberty. Wealth is a means to itself. not the end it. self. As means for health and happiness, wealth has had a fair trial, and has failed dismally, and brought us into war.
 Civilization, said Galswort thy. seems to be at an iinpasse. If there is Q saving way, at ell, 1t is to substitute health and happiness for wealth as a world-ideal; and to translate that new ideal Into action by education from bahyhood up. To do this, states must recouilse edu. cation spiritually . in other words. must introduce religion; not the old formal creeds, but the huinanis. tlc religion of service for the com- mon veal, a social honor which puts the health and happiness of all first. and the wealth of self second.

As a matter of strict fact it's doubtful if much could be done here in Waterbury where there are but two senatorial dis tricts. You couldn't really divide this city's voting districts in two parts with out splitting ward. But in New Haven, where there are four districts, and m Bridgeport, where there are three, 1t does seem as if a better set-up might be ar rived at with some attention given to the matter As for the rest of the state only approval of some general redlstrlctlng plan can really help us out there. We cer- tainly hope that the 1941 Legislature h. tends to do this approving.

Selected Poem
WINTER WOODS
CBy Betty Leigh in the Boston Post)

(By Betty Leigh in the Boston PosD Now deep within the winter woods, The alders bend their snowy heads: The brook within its crystal bed, Whispers of summers long since fled. White peace descends in stary flow, And far across the driven snow A lone fox, ere he stoops to drink, Tarries at the rivers brink. The squirrel from the old oak tree, Chides the saucy chicadee: Startled by the crows loud call. The rabbit scurries from wall to wall, At the frozen rivers edge. Within his house Of root and sedge, The muskrat stirs and dreams Of spring, And of red robins on the wing.
  So, within these quiet woods, The peaeeftlnesS ofwinter broods, And faintly stirring, comes to me, Promise Of blossom. bird and bee.

The population center of the United States is definitely pushing southWard. The 1940 figures lead census officials at Washington to conclude that our center now is about at Washington, Indiana. This is about 30 miles souCh of the 1880 center. Incidentally the westward trend of population is now definitely stopped; That has been going on since official figures were first obtained in 179O.

mood, we need sort of universal sportsmanship, the basis of mood which, competing keenly in things of the spirit.-in architecture, art, music, letters, and such sciences as ministers to health and happiness competing too, in, sports and ad- venture, agrees to pool all produc- tive and industrial endeavor, and to put the material welfare of man. kind first, and the material welfare of self second; and we need that such a mood should be beyond and above all narrow national prejudice and partisanship.
 The real and supreme importance of a League of Nations would con- sist of its power of giving such a mood the first chance it has ever had in international affairs. There is no hope that the mood will be adopted and fostered nationally. Failing then the success of a League of Nations in leading to the general establishment of this new mood governing our lives, civiliza- tion will continue to advance in the public press and in the mouths of statesmen of all countries, deep ly, if unconciously, committed to the Devil. Nay, it must lead on to world catastrophes many times worse than what we have encount- cred, because of our blind progress in the use of destructive mechan- ism. In that event those of us who I.fl selves with the thought that we are only human beings-of whom too much cannot justly be expected. That was as John Galsworthy saw civilization.
