You Can Bet He Is

There was lot of fancy pirouetting last week among the political writers and commentators of the state as they de- cided whether or not the victory dinner for Congressman Joseph Talbot on Thurs day night was actually for him or an op portunity for ex-Governor Raymond E. Baldwin to announce by gesture and in- tonation his intention to run for office this fall You didn't have to be present to know that MT. Baldwin was pretty serious about this business of regaining the laurels he relinquished when forced to turn over the reinS of state govern ment to Gov. Robert A. Hurley year ago January.
 For the Republican Party to turn down Mr. Baldwin in his bid for the nomina- ton this fall would be an open-and-shut admission of failure throughout his ad- ministration and MT BaldWin's own re- citals of his accomplishments as de- livered last week certainly was not glv- en on a defeatiSt note. Waste no' time debating or arguing the merits Of gubernatorial timber in the Republican ranks. The nomination is already SeWed up very neatly and nicely in MT. Bald wins briefcase and only major calam- ity could make him relinquish 1t.
 There will be no senatorial candidates this fall, so both parties can give their whole and undivided attention to the state and congressional tickets. It will be battle royal, the war permitting. Gov. Hurley returns to the fray enriched and sharpened by a year in office already. His has been positive administration. He has met a difficult situation admir- ably and his conduct is such as to win him the respect and well-Wishes of more than just those who voted for him in 194O. He will go into this coming cam paign an even stronger candidate than the Public Works Commissioner who faced the then Gov. Baldwin in the fall of l94O

and another appearance to man on foot. If you have ever walked along a road over which you have been accustomed to travel by auto mobile, you have noticed that the whole aspect of the scene has been considerably changed.
 This principle also operates in the field of morals. The higher we push our standards the more does the appearance of the world round about us change. Things that we considered quite legitimate when we operated our lives on the basis of lower standards appear to us. as decidedly unalloWed when we adopt higher standards. When man really gets religion into his soul, the whole appearance of life is trans formed before him. Many things which he formerly considered right he now considers wrong, and many things which before appeared nar- row, bigoted, fanatical. now com- mend themselves to him as being the very things he wants to do, his eyes having been opened to the reality of the whole of life.
 Our little moral efforts may raise us to few inches and make pos sible ideals which are bit higher To get religion, however, is like the exhilaratiny experience of going up in an airplane.

We Must Assume Our Burden

For great nation and powerful peo- pie, the United States is unique Tn It's coy reluctance to assume leadership. For years the United States has been pictured to the world as swaggeringly imperiallstic, with the flag waving and the eagle screaming. It never was true. We took territory from Mexico and Spain, tried to pay for it, and have been apologlzlng for it ever since. Every Central Amerl- can country in which we "lmperlallStl- cally' intervened, is free country to- day. Nicaragua is free. Cuba IS free. The Philippines would have been free soon, and they shall yet be free. That IS not imperialism. On the other hand, we have always shrunk from influencing other countries, even from carrying our fair share of the load of world adjust ments.
 Now the world is in the course of tre- mendous upheaval. New powers and forces are seeking to dominate it, dis placing those which have dominated It in the past. We still crouch back in our corner and ask in quaverlng voice, Are we fighting to insure that the Brltlsh Empire shall rule the world? Will Russia dominate the World?"
 It is characteristically American to those who really know the Amerlcans, that we never ask "HoW about us dolng little dominating ourselves?" Are we nothing, then we 133, 100000 Americans, wl.o first flung the torch of liberty abroad in the world and who have kept it burn- ing for 150 years, building the while the ,oodliest way of living the world has ever .een? Are we nobody, that it is not asked abroad, "Is American free democracy go- ng to dominate the World?"
 Let us break the chains of this national nierority complex Let us cry to the world that we are free and democratic, md proud of it; that we believe 1t is the pest way of life; that we believe others would be wise to follow it; that we pro- pose to fight to preserve, and if necessary to extend it, that we look any postwar squarely in the face, confident that what we have needs odds from nobody.
 Let us so make war that all Latin America will say, yes, totalitarianlsm was mighty, but free democracy was migthtier still, let us cleave to it; so that China may see how to build herself m Ike manner; so that Russia will say, we may keep socialism, but we want free and democratic regime with personal liberty, so that all peoples may say, the United States has GOT something there, let's go and do likewise. Let us quit crlnglng and waiting; let us bear ourselves like free men, in such way that the World may be aware of Us.

We never knew until now that the waters of New York's Lake George, one of it's large and extremely pretty bodies of water, are controlled by dam. This in turn is controlled by public utility and this concern is now being sued by the state on the ground that it doesn't let enough water out or the lake and as result state owned islands are belng eroded and private docks and boat-houses are being destroyed With so much puollc and private property involved It would seem as if there were prior rights to be recognized, but no doubt the courts will decide that equitably.

Only One Way

The pollution situation in Bridgeport now as described by the Post reveals now necessary it is to complete sewage sys- tenn before trying to end an evil. Bridge port has a system of sewage control and pollution elimination, but 1t evidently isn't sufficient unto the clty'S present needs for in an exchange ot letters between Mayor Jasper McLevy and State Water Commissioner Sanford II. Wad- hams it is revealed that Brid9eports bathing beaches may have to be closed this summer because of the condition of the water of the harbor and the Pequon- mock River
 Bridgeport officials claim that it's due to the influx of thousands of defense workers Raw sewage is now being emptled into the Pequonnock River, because the city's disposal plants can't handle the present day volume of sewage. The city has new disposal plant under construc- tion It was started two years ago, but halted when WPA labor ran short. This IS a $1,O0O,O0O project with the federal government paying 55 per cent of 1t. How ever, it won't be ready for ten years, unless work can be pushed ahead o1 everything else.
 Some time ago Bridgeport authorities asked the federal government to approve a $3,00000 sewage disposal program but it was turned down. Now there's some belief and hope that, with the State Water Commission pressing the city for action and claiming that thousands of defense workers health will be imperiled if they swim at any of the citys bathing beaches this summer, a gigantic sewer project may be launched in Bridgeport. If so this will give Waterbury and other Naugatuck Valley communities ideas on how to launch their own large and expensive sewer programs.
 And Com. Wadhams may be inclined at this time to tell the Naugatuck Valley that it will have to proceed rapidly with plans to reclaim the river and end all future stream pollution. He has been extremely generous for many years in considering the case of the valley offen- dors, but there may come a day when this will end and positive action will have to follow. Not that Waterbury isn't coop erative. It is and will continue to be so far as it's finances permit.

With sugar rationing cards just around the corner interest is beginning to center more and more on the beet sugar industry in the United States. It undoubtedly will forge to the fore during this war. And by the way the United States ranks third to Russia and Germany in sugar beet production Few people know sugar beet, their acquaintance with this vegetable being limited to the jred variety that we boil and slice or bse fragrant tops we boil with piece Ealt pork. Your sugar beet is long and liver -colored. After It's sugar is extracted the pulp forms part or an important livestock food; the livestock in turn gives us manure to enrich the land the beets grow on. There's room for more sugar beet production, particularly so right now.

The announcement that pr. Allan R. Dafoe is resigning as personal physician to the Dionne quintuplets sort of ends definite chapter in the remarkable life story of these multiple births. It was pr. Dafoe who ushered the five Dionnes into the world in their Callender, Ontario, home and it was he that probably made it possible for them to survive the 1lrst few hours of their existence Certainly he was in part responsible that for the first time in medical history quintuplets sur vived birth and the first few days of baby hood After that he was aided by all that science could make available for the Dicnnes. However, as time elapsed and the fame of the five little girls grew so dld a breach between the little family doctor and the children's parents. We don't think as the quintupiets grow into young womanhood and perhaps then separate, each to follow some chosen course, any other name, save their own, will be linked with theirs save that of Dr. Dafoe.

 M. L. S., WashingtOn--The word "antimacassar" is derived from Macassar in the Dutch Indies, which used to ship a lot of hair oil to Britain and the United States.

While he was in Washington, Foreign Minister Anthony Eden was in Moscow; and the British and Russians had worked out a policy for concentrating on the Russian and Mediterranean fronts.
 This policy, incidentally, was al- most identical with that expressed in the speech of Secretary Knox, namely that Hitler was our chief enemy. The only trouble with Knox was that apparently he did not know that meanwhile the pol icy had been changed--or at least was supposed to have been chang ed
 Here's the inside story: Only
 few days after Churchill arrived,
 the Australians got word that
 the Far Eastern front was to be
 sacrificed, and almost tore the
 British Empire apart.
 Churchill was arguing that it was going to be impossible to defend Singapore and the Dutch East Indies; that the Pacific was tremendous ocean; that the Jap anese could rattle round in it for a long time; that it was much wiser to defeat the German Army on the Russian front and in the Mediterranean area. He contend ed that once the German Army was crushed It would be a simple matter to clean up on Japan.
 ADMIRAL KING OBJECTS
 However, Churchill ran into trouble immediately from Admiral Ernest King, fortnight new com mander of the U. s. Fleet. King objected vigorously, said that Dutch oil, rubber, tin would keep Japan fighting for years; warned that Japan could then put the

Revolutionary Aftermath

When former President Arnulfo Arls ar rived smirking and self-satlsfled Tn hls comfortable exile from the cares of ad- ministering Panama, many people won dered whether this was just another pal ace revolution" Much more than that apparently occurred.
 President de Ia Guardia has since the change more than justified it. He has not only co-operated Whole-heartedly wlth the U. s. in the matter of Canal defense which is worth many divisions, but has in- stituted a domestic program of reform and cleanup which has set price ceilings shut down on rackets Thus double purpose was served by the revolution, by whoever and however it was engineered The United States has a better friend; Panama has better president.

Official Meriden has been farily considerate of car owners. The temptation to fatten the treasury by installing parking meters was resisted despite their general adoption by cities of |, the state. At least, that seems to be how most motorists re- gard themeters, although much can be said in their favor as means of making more parking room avail able. Their money-making quality is always stressed. it seems, in cities where they are first placed on the principal streets and then expanded to lesser thoroughfares.
 Official Waterbury is tough in dealing with motorists, having in- stalled plenty of meters, which pay well, and at the same time collect ing plenty in fines for auto law violations. The board there seems to have overreached, however, when it law-ed to the effect that night parking would be out hereafter. The worm finally turned and autoists in

Selected Poem
THE POET

(Gwen Castle in the Christian Science Monltor) While all around us the waves of storm
 We see confusion and world distraught,
 Someone, perchance, has caught vagrant thought And made it eloquent in cadenced form Although the thought itself seemed little worth Till he had searched and found pattern meet: And so sent forth message that was sweet, Some word of comfort for a troubled earth. Then as his patience lovingly applied
 Brought forth the rhythm and the poetry, So consolation came to those distressed;
 Gmpsng the order they were satisfied
 Knowing that somewhere there was harmony, Finding the message that his work had blessed

squeeze on India, while Hitler squeezed inc British Middle East from the Syrian-Turkish end.
 King also referred in critical, almost scathing terms, to the Lib van campaign in North Africa; said that this was just child's play; that these barren desert wastes meant nothing even if con- quered.
 Blunt-spOken as he was, how ever, Admiral King was not half as tough as the Australians. Their minister in Washington, Richard Casey, told Churchill pcint- blank that Singapore would have to be defended. He even went to the extreme length of warning that Australian troops would be yanked out of the Near East if the British Government did not send rein f0rcements to Singapore.
 Furthermore. the Australian Prime Minister even went to the extent of suggesting that if Lon don was going to desert the Aus tralian people by not defending Singapore, it would be perfectly possible for the Australian Gov ernment to withdraw from the War and make a separate peace with Germany.
 Faced with this double barrled barrage from both the Austral- ians and the U. $. Navy, the British and Russians yielded. More achievements for the Far East were decided upon. By that time, however, it was late to send heavy endorsements. And the inside fact is that modern fighting planes did not arrive in Singapore until after Churchill returned to LOndOn--Or about one month before Japan's all- out attack on the island.
 NOTE: This inside history of Singapore $ going to contribute to far closer ties between the U. s. A. and Australia.
 MACARTHUR FOR PRESIDENT
 Representative Lane Powers, Republican Of New Jersey, launch ed presidential boom for Gen. eral MacArthur on Capitol Hill the other day, although it must be said he chose a strange place to do it--a closed-door meeting of the House Appropriations Com mittee.
 The Committee was considering the new $23-billion Army appro- priation, to provide thousands of additional tanks and other equip ment for the war against the Axis One of the first topics of discus sion hinged On how much of the huge war fund would go for need- ed supplies in the Philippines. This was Powers cue.
 ''Thank you, gentlemen" he said with bow. While we're on this subject, I wish to announce that my candidate for the Pres idency in 1914 is that great sol dier, famous American and out standing Republican, General Douglas MacArthur."
 Democratic committee members applauded as vociferously as the Republicans. Later, Powers was asked why he picked closed- door meeting to sound the key note for MacArthur.
 That's part of the strategy" grinned the popular New 7 N seyite. DO you think I want to jinx the man by coming out for him publicly at this early date?"
 NOTE: Among the nations out standing military. heroes who have been elected president were: George Washington, Andrew Jack son, William Henry Harrison Zachary Taylor. Ulysses s. Grant and Theodore Roosevelt. On the other hand, General Mcclellan failed in his race against Lincoln; General Leonard Wood failed after the World War; Admiral Dewey was talked about but made no real attempt after the Span- American War; and General
