A Good Appointment

The appointment of Colonel Samuel Fisher of Litchfield to head the State De- fense Counsel is a worthy one. There should be general approval of Governor Robert A. Hurley's designation of Col onel Fisher for this most important posi- ton. While no one hopes that defense of this state will arrive at the point where we will be momentarily expecting attack from foreign aggressor, still there are many details of defense that do not go as far as this, yet are just as important. We are confident that Colonel Fisher is quite capable of handling all of them.
 While he is not in the strict sense a politician his name has been linked with various political offices of recent years. For this purpose he has been given the label of Democrat But we doubt if politics has swayed him from any pur- pose in life or that it will mean an awful lot to him in the present responsibility which is now his. AS $1-a-year-man the Legislature finds itself in the spot of having raised lot of fuss about pay for this office when 1t had been advised by the governor that he was seeking just such an executive at such figure.

Leagues Pulse Faintly Beats

. There is something startling, almost shocking, in the news that the League : of Nations, dead in the mind of the aver X age man, still feels faint heartbeat. The
 League experiment in international
 government which was to have crowned
 all the horror of the First World War;
 failed its essential task - the creation
 of a peaceful and orderly world. When
 war swept once more across civilization, men cursed this agency through which 2 they had failed to prevent their tragedy, 7 and said in revulsion, Bar! It is dead!" . It is not dead. Its heart beats feebly / with trickle of life-blood pumped into 1. it by 48 nations which are still members.
 Throughout 194O, as in 1889, every state i. within the British Empire (The United : Kingdom, India, Australia, Canada, Fire, {. New Zealand and the Union of South !. Africa) paid their contributory share in full, though nearly all of them were at . war.
 z States now prostrate under the Ger
 man heel are still trying to pay their
 shares to League support. Even the
 Vichy government in France is trying to
 get frozen credits in the United States
 released so that it can pay its balances
 of the 1940 contribution For 1941, the
 Dutch government has already paid half
 of it's contribution, and Norway is willing, z though not able. Those are pitiful ges-
 lures by countries robbed of the ability
 to carry on as they would like to do.
 Failure though it was, the League still
 seems to have a hold on the hearts of
 many men in many lands. In the depths {. of despair and the humiliation of con- quest, some have even yet tried to cling {. to what is no longer more than name and symbol of an orderly international world
 Names and symbols are not without power even today, and the fact that the
 League of Nations as the postwar world knew 1t vas a failure is no proof that no
The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-05-09

fact 1t is looked upon today as one of the worlds greatest pictures. Yet the generation in which 1t was pro. duced saw nothing in t Co praise and much to condemn.
 May 1t be that we today are missing great values which are growing up about up? Every gen- eration believes 1t is free of preju- dice, and we especially 50 because we have experienced such profound scientific advance. But the people of the generation which believe themselves free of prejudice are the very ones who need most care- fully to guard against prejudice. It Is an arresting experience to wake Up some day and realize that we have been tragically wrong in cer- tain positions 1o which we have held with great tenacity. The peo- pie who crucified Jesus were sure as they walked up the slopes of Calvary that they were putting to death 6 blasphemer and an innpoS- ter. But that night as they came back to the city, they beat their breasts and realized that they had made q ghastly mistake.
 It's fine to be sure of ones mind, but 6 great misfortune to be too sure.

Present Proposed

This puts total yields at $465 ,598,- 932 for the present taxes and $827, 498, ,932 for the proposed taxes.
 Add to that last the proposal of @ $5 per vehicle use tax which, on 27 300 .o00 cars, would bring in $780, 800, ,o00.
 Add to that state taxes. Tn 1889 the last year for which complete figures are available, state gaso- line taxes of verying amounts brought in $816,5o0,000. State fees for tags and drivers licenses brought in an additional $4l2O00,000.
 Wrap up the four main items above, throw them onto the fam fly hack, and If the springs don't break you will have a potential load of approximately $2,102,500,000.
 That's approximately 60 per cent of the $3,600 ,000, 900 which the theas- ury proposes be raised by increased taxation for the defense effort. F'Upnp""*A+Ddv. .l.62

We Begin to Help

In April, the airplane industry pro- duced 1,493 planes, 1,415 of them mili- tary. Of these, about half were trainers, half fighters. Roughly 700 fighters, 700 trainers, then. Probably more than half of each class went to Britain or it's far flung dependencies and allies. Perhaps $50 or 400 fighters, a like number of trainers.
 It isn't clouds of planes" yet. But it isn't hay, either. The raids which have devastated cities like Glasgow have been accomplished by what is estimated to be about two or three hundred planes each. When you realize that American plane production will have been practically doubled, that is, have reached 2,500 by September l, it is easy to see why Hitler hopes so desperately to win this year. It is a time to hold steady, and play for the long pull.

Patronage Predominates

There's lot of activity these days at Hartford. The legislative session is rap- idly drawing to close. If legislators are going to go home with job for them selves or their friends they have to pro- duce right now or for two more years hold their peace. And so far as can be seen there aren't very many of the legislators who want to hold their peace. At least that's the impression one would be apt to get by reading not between the lines, but right on the lines.
 Waterbury legislation is tossed into the mill. It may come out as planned by its introducers or it may not even come out at all. That depends on the good graces of those who can muster the votes. The price of action is apparently agreement by the Democrats to certain demands Of the Republicans. These range from judgeships to minor positions in the of- flee of the Waterbury Registrars of Voters old age tax census enumerators. All of which is quite educational.
 The name of ex-Governor Raymond E. Baldwin is tossed around as Super for Court judge. Democrats draw away now, while some Republicans urge it. The consequences determine more than the qualifications the ultimate nomina- tion. That isn't the ideal set-up and it isn't the set-up that the Democratic Party is on record as favoring. If we just go back to the campaign platform of last year we'll find reference to taking the judgeships out of politics.
 There may be lot of different ways of doing this, but to this writer there's only one way and that's simply to make appointments on merit alone. Conven- fence mustn't be the determining factor.

tablished by the U. s. Government between New York and Brazza- vile, French Equatorial Africa, an area occupied by General Charles de Gaulle's Free French forces.
 Brazzaville is south of Dakar, nearest African point to south America and of great strategic importance. Dakar is held by
 Vichy government, but 1t has
 long been suspected that the NaziS have 8 secret air base there. Purpose of the new Braz- zaville-New York radio tie-up is to enable this government to keep closer check on military moves in West Africa.
 Another significant change in radio communications occurred in Iceland, which the British occu- pied after the Nazis grabbed Nor- way. To precent German agents from sendnig coded messages, tho British took over all radio trans fnittcrs in Iceland and all out going communications are now relayed through London Previ- ouly, Iceland was linked directly with New York.
 MERRY-GO-ROUND
 Strange claim in the annual re- port of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace: Tn the period during which the Endow- ment has been active, from the close of the World War to the present time, there has been a more sustained and encouraging development in the processes of international organization for the maintenance of peace and preven- ton of war than il any other period of history" .. Among those who testified att he House hearings on the Burdick anti- vivisection bill was an expert of Che U. s. Public Health Service. Asked his name, he replied: "Dr. M. L. smith," Inquired the steno- grapher innocently: How do you spell it?"

Spanish Resistance

Ramon Serrano Suner, Francois for eign minister in Spain, doesn't like the United States or any free democratic country He is proud, however, of the Franco governments defense of Spain from outside influences.
 "Just as on May 2, 1808 Spain did not request to become French; similarly on July IS, 1886, Spain did not want to be- come either Russian or British" he said in a recent speech. Proud words, and it will be interesting to see how strongly and how effectively Franco Spain de- fends itself in 1941 from becoming Ger man. He might ask the Italians how they're doing.

Shortly after the election, when the Duke of Windsor visited the President on his yacht near the Bahamas, Roosevelt was definitely against conveys.
 And even last month, when every member of the Cabinet fav- ored using the U. s. Navy to pro- tect British merchant ships, the President was still against 1t. His Cabinet and congressional leaders wanted him to move under his power as Commander -in- Chief, but Roosevelt opposed.
 The thing that seems to stick In the Presidents mind Is the manner in which his old chief, Woodrow Wilson, was criticized for dragging the country into war after his reelection. Roosevelt has dreaded mourning the same stigma. But meanwhile two things have happened which appear 1ike- ly to catapult the President into action whether he likes 1t or not.
 ONE IS the disastrous predica- ment of the British. TWO is realization that the system of pa- trolling the North Atlantic IS go- ing to be more difficult than originally supposed.
 There are only about 40 U. S. warships available for patrol work, allowing for those which must put into port for periodic refueling and 0verhauling. This means that to patrol an area D. 900 miles long and about 45 miles wide (90,000 square miles) each vessel must patrol about 2,200 square miles.
 This can be done very easily. by airplanes, but not by surface ships. So far, however, the Navy has only enough airplane car- riers to station perhaps one car- Tier in the North Atlantic. HITLER WON'T WAIT

The question of putting the voters to the task of voting on municipal collec- ton of rubbish is being broached right now. Proponents of the plan feel that the voters at the city election in the fall should express their opinion on the sub- iect We don't think there would be sufficient expression of opinion for it has been our experience that referendums on questions when joined with regular election poll fail to attract more than a small percentage of the voters. However, if those who seriously believe in munich pal collection want such vote they'll have to get busy to comply with the re- quirements.

such league may eventually succeed. The
 first constitution drawn up by the Amer ican people after independence was won
 was failure, but they did not cry, "See, it is hopeless" They formed a new con stitution, and this second effort framed
 a government that has already lasted 150 years and is stronger than ever. Whether that faint heartbeat still pulsing in the
 prostrate League of Nations will ever strengthen again into life, no one knows. The prospects are not bright. Yet it is strange and wonderful to see so persist ent vitality in it; plainly the idea and the ideal are not dead. Some day Law must replace Anarchy between peoples.

Selected Poem
SHADOWLEss LIGHT
(Ethel Phelps Hawley in the Poets Column,
 Hartford Courant)

Ethel Phelps Hawley in the Poets Column
 Hartford Courant) All things have a shadow, All things not of the light; For where no shadow ever stands Everything is bright. Things make shadow, The opposite of the sun; But when light fills the thing that !s-- The shadow form is done. Light knows no shadow, Where shade can't intervene, Where all is light, no sign of dusk Can ever come between. Density when cleansed. Can never, never fade, Heaven is like this A realm without shade. If light were in all things, How could shadow be? Someday we might well ask Why was there shade in me? Someday, when things are pure, And shadow form Is done We might well ask, where Is The opposite of the sun?

The pressure brought to bear to get action on the Waterbury trade school bill in the House resulted in many conflict ing opinions Representative Joseph R.. Neill, Republican, succeeded in having an appropriation bill taking care of Nor wich trade school dropped to the foot of the calendar. His purpose was to pre- vent passage of this bill and not the Wa terbury one, for in his opinion there should not be distinction. Other legis- lators expressed the same viewpoint, but there were some who could see only manipulation in the action. Actually, though, there is no reason why the Leg islature should proceed to take action on bill guaranteeing funds for a trade school in one section of the state, where there are a number of similar measures. All should have the same consideration and to facilitate matters all should go through the legislative channels together.

U. s. MUST BE PREPARED TO WAGE LIMITED WAR,
 WRITER CLAIMS
May T. 1s4l.

NWuy ip A0TAs Editor, Waterbury Democrat:
 We must decide whether to sacri- flee the lives of some of our seamen. That Is what conveying would mean.
 Our choice is between the certain loss of some lives now, in the in- terest of national safety and e shortened war-and the heavy risk of c much greater loss of life later on, should failure to convoy spell British defeat. Britain cannot de- fend herself with torpedoed muni- tons. Few will contend that a vic. torious Hitler would allow US to re- main at peace.
 American lives are being sacri- feed for national defense eycn now. Deaths from industrial accidents, normally numbering thousands, have substantially increased due to the sudden Bpurt in arms produc- ton.
 Lives thus lost in making muni- tons later sunk by German sub- marines, may be considered wasted. This waste should be balanced against the loss of life anticipated from conveying.
 If conveying means war, we must be mature enough to wage c limited war. No matter how poignant the British appeal, nor, how subtle the insinuation that America is ready to fight Hitler to the last English man," we must grimiy adhere to our determination not to send a con- script army Aaitslde this hemisphere.
 Above, all, we should insist upon a genuine "peace offensive" at the earliest appropriate inoment-per- naps next winter, if the Nazi machine is stalled by that time. The instant they show signs of readi- ness, we must give the German ] people an opportunity to renounce
