Congressional Election-Cont.

.. However, after summing up yes terday MT. Ryans fearlessness and cour- age to take on all corners in the present special election campaign in the fifth congressional district we think if he had met either of his two worthy political op- ponents in pubic debate he would have met his match, at least periodically speak ing. And in the case of Commissioner Joseph E. Talbot in many more ways than that. Let's look at the record in the case of his Republican opponent
 To begin with the candidate for any office who sets out to cross swords with Joe Talbot has got some political fencing to do. In the vernacular of the day. Joe knows his way around. He aspires in the present special election for congress, not only tried and true campaigner, but an opponent worthy of anybody's steel. EX- perience, let alone ability and personal magnetism of ten years or more political contact in Connecticut gives him an edge in our estimation upon either of his Op- ponents. With Joe Talbot, as we said of Ed Ryan yesterday, we have no per sonal axe to grind other than knowing and admiring a good man when we see one.
 And as for knowing Joe Talbot we have been watching him for some few years, both in his own home town political ac complishments and later those of state where he carried on the duties of the State Treasurer in most efficient and able manner Yet later still we have had the opportunity to watch him even closer, here in our own city, administering the duties of the office of Compensation Commls- soner for this district The decisions of that office alone at times would challenge of o Solomon, Gic- penses them with a smile. That is why we say Joseph Talbot is no push over for anyone in any election. You not only have to beat Joe, but his ever-pres- ent smile and affabiity.
 However tomorrow, despite Ed. Ryans aggressiveness and Joe Talbots affability, efficiency and political acumen - all things being equal we will tell you in our humble opinion why we think John Monagan has the best prospects of win ming Tuesdays election.

Importance of Voting

The simplest test to which voter can be put will be applied throughout the Fifth Congressional District next Tues day An election will be held in which three candidates will vie for the honor of representing the district in the House of Representatives Theoretically every voter that is physically able to do so should have recorded his preference by 6 o'clock Tuesday evening when the polls close. Yet we would be willing to wager that the percentage of votes tabulated will not be much in excess of 50 per cent of the registered vote.
 It's hard to give an answer to this, because merely saying that voters aren't interested in an election of this sort IS more or less insulting. The many voters who absent themselves from the polls on the occasion of a special election are usu- ally just as intelligent as those who cast a ballot. They know for the most part that an election is going on and that they have the privilege of going down to some voting place and without fear Of what may happen to them vote for any one of three candidates. Yet they won't do this.
 All sorts of explanations have been of- fered for the absentee vote, but we must confess none of them satisfies this writer. There must be some quirk in our human nature that keeps us away from the polls just as it sends us down on other occas ions to register protest vote or an af- firmative one. We'd like to see Waterbury distinguish itself next week, though, by an outpouring of voters. Weather per uniting every eligible man and woman should exercise a right and privilege, very much American, for which our fore fathers fought and which too many of us regard lightly.

establishment proprietors, is such that strict surveillance is demanded by the state. Whether or not 1t is bureaucratic could be argued for long hours. At any rate it is an attempt to control an in- dustry that exercises considerable influ- ence on community behavior
 A few years ago the Connecticut law requiring couples planning to be married to procure certificates as to their physical fitness was assailed, but on the other hand the medical world seems to believe, and public officials concur, that the Con- necticut blood test law is progressive legislation and already has done a lot for betterment of the human race. The new recruit in Uncle sam's armed forces is fingerprinted; so are workers in many defense plants All of which only goes to show that regulation, though irksome, is more or less general and has its ad- vantages.
 No one wants to class liquor permittees by themselves or single them out for dis crimnatory legislation. But the fact remains that control of the industry has alWeys been more or less troublesome To submit to control today, however bother some, may prevent recurrence of more drastic regulation like prohibition of the last World War days

Woi it D CiOuDlCo lldFC dIlSCll IlOG from any lack in our religion but from a lack in ourselves. There is nothing the matter with our religion, but there is something very desperately the matter with the way we interpret our religion and especially with the way we practice 1t. There has probably never been a time in the history of the Church when men were more reasonable in their religious thinking than right now. There is less bigotry, intol- erance, and fanatical ideas in the Church today especially in this country-than there ever has been before. Not in centuries have men been more assiduous than they are today to apply the gospel to world conditions. There is something fine and wholesome in modern spiritual life which bespeaks more prom ising future.
 What we need Is not new re- ligion; we need grace from heaven to enable us to practice a religion which is as old as the hills. What we need is not to get something new. but to ponder more thought fully and prayerfully what we al- ready have.

It's good to see that in spite of shot and shell, referring to the current world conflict in which we are involved, the Veterans of Foreign Wars still make an appeal to the youth of this nation. The annual contest which this organization has now sponsored for some few years past is about to get underway, Waterbury, as it has in the past, will probably offer it's quota of entries in this essay test. The city's entries have always ranked high, too, taking state honors frequently and being among the more finished products in the nationwide contest. The topic, Unity for Victory seems quite appropriate and high school students ought to be able to work out from this theme an essay of which all of us can be proud. We'd like to see more boys and girls take an active interest in the contest by submitting essays. It requires little more than research plus an honest effort to write simply on the topic along the vein the individual cares to follow

A Little Child Dies

Thousands of men are dying every day as war sweeps around the world, and most of them are merely atoms in the days casualty figures. Yet in all this car magnole of death, a single figure stood out the other day. It was that of a little Belgian child, one of 456 sent to SWitzer- land to undergo recuperative treatment for malnutrition.
 This boy of IA was too far gone. Starved literally to death by the Nazi occupation of his homeland, this boy died before hos pitalization could begin to set him on the road back to health. It is eloquent testi- mony to the fate of peoples whom Hitler has conquered This, too, lies at the door of those who elected to set the world afire to satisfy their criminal ambition.

Don't Like It.

Liquor permittees are descending upon Hartford in droves these days to secure from the State Liquor Commission the necessary permission to continue in bus inneSs Under the revised laws every holder of license must apply in person and must satisfy the commission as to his ability to carry on his establishment. Another matter, too, is that of being nger-printed. And thereby hangs tale. Already protests have been voiced to the commission over this procedure and rest assured there will be many more.
 Willard B. Rogers of the Bond Hotel in Hartford maintains that the fingerprint- ing business is discriminatory. He charges that no other group of business men is formed to be fingerprinted. Un- fortunately the nature of this business as well as that of many more reputable liquor

An item in a newspaper from a far away place caught our eye recently. It predicted the return to popularity of the trolley car, what with the rationing of tires and all sorts of fears about what may be done with private cars. It's doubtful if the trolley car can make comeback in communities where it has been entirely replaced. In the first place it would cost a tremendous amount of money to lay tracks and to erect poles and wires. Then add to that the rolling stock required for the type of service that would be demanded and you get a picture which is far blacker than any painted down in Washington about the future Of our au tomobiles and busses. No, we rather imagine the transportation companies will stick to the motors

Forty-Six Millions, Unregretted

Up to the time war came to America, the people of the United States had con- tributed $46,O00,0OO for war relief in the countries which preceded them in the war Not a dollar is regretted. It has meant wounds stanched, mouths fed, bodies warmed.
 Now we have a sterner contribution to make We shall have our own wounds to bind, our own refugees to care for our own suffering to alleviate. If, in addition to our own direct contribution in the field, we can continue to relieve others who have given so much already that they cannot now help themselves, let us do that, too

regarding our ability to uphold the Monroe Doctrine.
 STRONG U. $. SUPPORT
 In view of all this, it is a great tribute to Latin American friend- ship and shows how deeply the Good Neighbor policy has taken root, that the Rio conference starts off with so many bonafide U. s. A. supporters in the bleach- CTS.
 First there Is Brazil, largest nation in Latin America and 100 per cent with the United States. Second are the countries which border the Panama Canal--Nic- aragua, Costa Rica, Panama, Sal vador, Guatemala, Honduras = which already have declared war on the Axis. Third are the coun- tries bordering the Caribbean Cuba, Haiti and the Domenican Republic, which also have declared war. Fourth, Venezuela, Colom- bia and Mexico which are near the Panama Canal and have severed diplomatic relations.
 However, with the larger countries away from the Pan- anna Canal it is a more cautious story. Chile, with nearly 5000 miles of coastline along the Pa cific, has sec nOur own Cali fornia coast approached by Japanese submarines. So na- turally it wonder how the U. $. Navy, too busy to protect its own waters, could possibly de- fend the distant coasts of Chile.
 FINALLY, there is Argentina, which has seen the Graf Spec come into the mouth of the River Platte, and Argentina is going to be the really tough nut to crack at this conference.
 However, Sumner Welles has been doing some careful. advance sounding out of Pan American foreign ministers and the pros poets for an ultimately successful conference look good. One thing is especially important. No long CT do the Pan Americans require a unanimous vote to adopt a definite policy.
 Like the old Democratic con- ventions, hamstrung with the twO-thirds rule, the Pan Ameri- can conferences were frustrated in the past by requiring abs0- lute unanimity. Bnt this rule is now changed, and all the U. s. A. needs is a majority vote to adopt a strong stand against the Axis.
 What we will aim for is con- plete severing of diplomatic rela- tions with all Axis countries. And even If Argentina dissents. this much, by majority vote, we can get.

invasion is not going 10 be easy Reason for this is that q new story has developed in Latin America since December T. It is the story of fear. And it has increased since the fall of Manila.
 The average Latin American, like the average North Ameri- man, always looked upon the Japs as clever little people, but nevertheless little people. One Argentine or one Brazilian, they
 figured, could lick six Japs with both hands tied behind his back. So now it is not easy to esti- mate the damage done to our prestige by the pushing around we land the British) have re- ceived in the Pacific since De- cember ]. =
 Highcr-up Americans under stand our explanations; and the man in the street is sympatheteic. Nevertheless, no one can over-eS- timate the big boost it would give our prestige and Sumner Welles job in Rio If the Navy could score striking victory at this moment in the Pacific.
 It must always be remembered that Latin Americans have a great respect for power. Certain Latin American army leaders have been called pro-Nazi, but actually they chiefly have the military mans admiration for 8 success full military machine. And hav- ing looked upon us as nation of precision and power, our pres ent inability soundly and instantly to slap the Japs' ears down, has made some of them think twice

Pan American conferences were postponed during the first World War, also during the depression. The diplomats figured that they might be embarrassed by too many complicated problems. So they side-stepped them, and con- tinued their safe and insipid Pan American policy of distributing stercopticon slides of the Andes to Womcn,s clubs and sending rcd and green parrots to adorn the patio of the Pan American Union in Washington. This was about as far as anyone wanted to go with Pan AmericaniSm.
 But this time, the Pan Ameri- can nations have jumped into the middle of question never faced before-namely, is the Western Hemisphere going to stick together as bonafide Good Neigh bors against Hitler and Hiro- hito?
 The man who will have a great deal of responsibility for the success of this conference WclleS, a straight talking hOmbre who has lived with and bled for Latin Americans ever since he was out of college. But even more responsible is the man who is host at this con- ference, Foreign Minister Aranha of Brazil, mixture of toughnes. charm, and gra-
 ciOusness, who is as hard rootcr for U. s. A. friendship as anyone below the Rio Grande..
 They will be supported by lot of other able foreign minis ters, ardently for action against the Axis - especially those rep resenting the Caribbean countries and Central America.
