Dominican Republic
As Refugee Haven
Held Visionary
Brookines Institution
Says Country Cont
Support New Settlers

Hope for settlement of 100000
refugees In the Dominican Republic
is visionary dream, the Brookings
Institution reports in a book pub
lished after study of the refugee
problem. The West Indian republic
had offered to take up to 100000
refugees and permit them to settle
there permanently, but the report
says 5000 would be the limit.
Suggesting that the problem OF
regugees after the war will be one
of the most serious that the world
will face, the authors of the study
said that a whole new approach
to the problem is needed. They
commented:
"It seems fairly obvious that a
successful solution of refugee dis
tress depends upon something more
than the compassion of statesmen
the generosity OF philanthropists
and the unselfish efforts OF humani-
tarians.
THE war stoppage of refugee en-
fgration, tragic though 1t be, at least
provides opportunity for reorienta-
tion of approach and a reorganiza-
ton of method"
(. Minor Factor in Settlement.
F, About the prospects in the Domini-
can Republic, where settlement
colony exists at Sousa, the study
Gays:
The fact is that, from the stand
point of the number it will accomo-
date, the Dominican Republic can
never be more than minor factor
in refugee settlement.
: AT the end of August, 1941, some
400 refugees were in process of es-
.tablishment there. - Primarily
it seems clear that despite the gen.
erous invitation of the Dominican
government, not much more than
percent Of the number Of refugees
can be accommodated.
The expense of locating settlers
In remote and widely scattered COM
niunities will be both relatively and
actually large. The economic oppor-
tunity for settler development is not
great.
Existing refugee population has
not yet been digested. The arabic
area of the present colony is not
sufficient to support arrivals to
date. AS now organized and con-
stituted, the colony will require
strong financial support for an in
definite period.
Extravagant Form of Relief.
Until a self sustaining mode OF
life has been organized and sufi-
ciently established to assure a rea-
/. .sonable degree of success for the
existing refugee population, the
(; project partakes more of refugee re-
. lief than of refugee settlement.
Unless the refugee can be firmly
/: established on his own, independent
. Of continuing subsidy, the attempt
must be regarded as an ineffective
means of settlement and an extrav-
agant form of relief"

Hitler's Plans, Failures
 Revealed To Alumni
We'll Known Military Strategist Prof. WOfers of Yale Speaks Here; A. Sabn Chase Also at Yale Session

The nation that takes the ini- tiative in 1943 may well be the vic- tor in the current European war, Professor Arnold Wolfers, Master of Pierson College, Yale University, and an internationally known mill itary Strategist recently assigned by the government as an advisor at Washington on international af- fairs. last night at the annual meeting of the Yale Alumni of the Naugatuck Valley, held at the Country Club.
 It is Professor Wolfers' belief that the United States is in the best poe sition possible to deliver knock out blow to Hitler in the coming year, but 1t must be done before the Germans can recuperate from the losses they have sustained in the past year.
 The speaker in his remarks traced the course of Hitler's remarkable conquest of Europe, stressing the fact that Hitler himself has all along been the best source of in- formation to the world of what he has done and what he plans to do Only in several unexplainable in- stances has Hitler's announced plan

 Mayor McLevy said on Tuesday night, over a statewide radio hook up, he would "go into the matter more extensively"
 Telephone Objection
 "On Saturday, October 3, at 1:30 D. m., newspaper reporter informed me by telephone that he understood that certain Socialists in Hartford were considering the endorsement of Republican candidate. Within fifteen minutes I dispatched the fol- lowing telegram to John Andrews, Socialist chairman in Hartford:
 Brought to my attention that Hartford Socialists are consider
 ing endorsement of one of old party candidates stop such action
 would as you know violate long established principles of our party and I absolutely oppose it."
 ''T.he next day I spoke with Mir Andrews on the telephone and warned him that under no circum- stances would the Socialist party permit or consent to the endorse ment of any old party candidates. received the definite impression from his conversation that no such en- dorsement would occur. On Tuesday learned that a few individuals claiming to be Socialists, met al MT. Andrews, home and endorsed three of the old party candidates.
 T denounce and repudiate thiS action, without any reservation. Nc true Socialist would ever endorse or support such candidates. Neither the Socialist party of Connecticut nor I as its state chairman and can didate for governor will give any support to these candidates. AS everyone knows, we have always been and still are violently opposed to any no1nination-deals between candidates of this type. The only reason for a political party is tc represent views which have some difference from the other parties and when deal like this is made it denies the reason for existence of the party"

She manages both her peeling and teasing in gentlely coQuettish fashion and leaves the rougher facets of the art to the comedians and straightman.
 Though not billed as "Queen of Culver" she is just that, remind ing all of Waterbury's own, linda Nassau. She twists her muscular structure with the vigor of a gal caught in 6 blizzard without a coat. Joan Mavis also does well as @ peeler and exceptionally well as 8 straightwoman in building up gags of the comedians.
 Billy Ainsley and Harry Seymour are first-rate comedians, but the formers sketches, more numerous than the latter's gives him the nod as a better crowd pleaser. Billy is CklaKdCtGI16Gu Ho v A9AlAR SSAAaSAAAAA and his stun registers well through out.

Edward A. Sherman of Melrose, who won a division citation for bravery in France during World War I is back in the Army as a captain in the Army Specialist Corps. He joins five brothers who are commissioned officers in the armed forces. Captain Sherman has been assigned to work with the Army Emergency Relief at head quarters, First Service Command, in Boston.

failed, but such failures merely pro- voked from the German leader newer ones, Professor WolferS pointed out.
 He discussed the failure to con- quer Russia during 1941 and the failure to cut the British Empires lifeline earlier in the same year, If American and British striking power can be mustered before an- other Hitler plan is launched Pro- lessor WolferS believes that it will ne sufficient to crush him.
 The Japanese war right now is confined to 8 definite circle and can be kept within that for at least an- other year, Professor Wolfers said, indicating that American strength may be diverted Europeward rather than to the Pacific. But he agreed heartily with remarks made by A. Sabin Chase earlier in the evening that no halfway measures may be taken with the Japanese. They must be thoroughly defeated and chased home to Tokyo before the Pacific zone will find peace.
 MT. Chase, with the U. s. con- Sulate service in Manchuria at the time of the outbreak of war, des- cribed his experiences with the Jap- anese while interned there and during the time that he with other Americans were being exchanged for Japanese officials in this country.
 The Japanese psychology in its treatment of prisoners and fanatical belief in Japanese supremacy in the war were well-brought out by Mir. Chase, who also pointed out that under Japanese domination any race, even the American, might only hope to find abject slavery of both body and mind.
 Many incidents related by MT Chase without names or other iden- tification he explained as necessary to prevent reprisals from the Jap anese on prisoners still held by them, in the event such things should ever get back to Japan.
 Among others heard at the din- ner, which was presided over by Judge Patrick Healey, president oi the valley almuni group, were At torney N. R. Bronson, oldest alum nus present and Walter Hart, Jr., a member of the freshman football team.
 The meeting ended with singing of Bright College Years" led by Professor Traprock.
