Washington, d. c.
Here in Washington where we feel
the r~epercussicns of the war more
deeply than anywhere in the coun-
try except coast cities where enemy
planes threaten, and even the
thoughts we had last week seem
very far away.
To me an even greater gulf seems
to exist between Friday and Satur-
day, between peacetime and war
time. On Saturday. December 5, l
sat in the drawing room Of the Japa-
nese embassy talking with the en-
bassy's first secretary. His card
which he gave me as I left it on the
desk as l write. "Hidenari Terra
saki, first secretary of the Japa-
nese embassy, Washington" the en-
graved script reads.
With US was Saburo Kurusu. the
man who vas supposed to be plan
ming a peaceful settlement Of Japa-
nese-American relations at the very
moment when Japanese bombers
and ~battleships were already on
their way to Pearl Harbor. l did
not know it then. but I was the last
American reporter - perhaps the
only one-to interview him.
Washington Diary
The next afternoon just as l was
starting out to take a walk in Rock
Creek park, the news of the astound-
ing attack on Hawaii reached me.
From then on radio and news re-
porters have been pretty busy. But
I took time out to jot down the
events of Saturday that were a trag-
ically stupid prelude to war. l am
now offering this record Gin part) as
a sort of washington Diary
Saturday, December 6: Spent the
whole day preparing for a special
Far Eastern broadcast, a pickup OF
Far Eastern capitals, London and
Washington. Went first to call on
TX" whom l knew would be in
formed as well as anyone on the
negotiations. We sat in his beauti-
full library. The ancient books. the
mellow leathered chairs all gave
the place an atmosphere of dignity
and solidarity that seemed far away
from the little Saturday afternoon
world. Mr.. *" suggested two
phrases of which I made mental
note. First: 'Kurusu is still here"
The second: THE center of gravity
has shifted from the state depart
ment to the navy department"
Since Kurusu was still here it was
explained. the situation had not
changed. But the next move was
decidedly Japan's; the state depart
ment had probably said its last
word. MIR. *" was of the opinion
that it was still possible that some
face-saving method would be worked
out to permit the military element
to accede to our demands and thus
keep Japan from committing sui
eide" His impression was that moth
ing would happen before Tuesday
when he thought Kurusu would hand
Secretary Hull Japan's answer to
the state departments note.

Parachutists

The repeated parachutist scares are becoming unintereSting. They always have been silly. The authorities have to investigate them, but nobody can take the idea seriously. Why, in the name of reason, should parachutists drop here and there in the northeast? Any body can drive his own car, ride his bicycle, travel by train and bus, or walk to any of the points parachutistS are supposed to have reached by plane, with out being noticed. Only fools, then, would call attention to themselves by parachuting.
 Nor is it reasonable, to anybody who has watched the care with which every scheduled airliner is checked, to suppose that German planes are coming in across the ocean undiscovered, to drop few men here. The whole idea savers of hys- teria

his arm was rendered helpless, the snake quickly wriggled out of the mans grasp and stuck its fangs into his arm.
 There are some people who handle temptation in this same way. They can go with any Kind of company, they aver, and keep straight and wholesome. They can take liquor or they can let it alone. They can gamble within their means and carefully restrain them selves when this pleasure promises to become too expensive.
 Practically all such persons eX- perience at least the same thing as did the foolish show-o in the Zoo- logical garden, The variety of life which they claim they can control at last wraps it's tolls about them and paralizes their powers Then when resistance is at its lowest ebb, the serpent strikes it's fangs into their very souls, and they are through.
 watch and pray that ye enter not into tempetation, was our Lords advice. It is something to be avoided. He is reckless fool, indeed. who plays with it.

This Is Not Prosperity

There iS an unfortunate tendency to think of the current economy as a boom, an era of prosperity and happy days Financially that are here again. That IS crooked thinking, and dangerous True, there are more men and women at work than ever before. They are receiving the highest wages in history For the first tune ln years the farmers are enjoying 3 sellers market at top prices.
 Those are most of the elements which traditionally have been symbols of proS- perlty. But times have changed Now these things do not mean happy days Taken In their context, they provide a brilliant, red flare warning against danger < ahead. There is plenty of money. Almost everybody has more than he used to. But he can't eat money. He can't wear money. He can't tune in money and listen to broadcast He can't ride to the seaShore or the golf links in money. He can't keep ms butter from melting in summer, or ms milk from souring, with money
 Beyond a certain point, which is quick ly reached, money is useful only so long as there are necessities, conveniences, lux urleS for which money can be exchanged. Up to now, and to decreasing extent for the next few months, the unprecedented flow of money to Wage-earnerS can be translated into those concrete possessions which constitute genuine prosperity. There still are used cars = some with excellent tires = to be had; electric re- frlgerators, radios, sports equipment; all the things so many wanted so long, and were denied for lack of enough money.
 But very soon, when existing stocks have been depleted, money will lose much of it's present virtue, because there will be only limited supply of goods to be bought. There is every reason to SUD- pose that Americans will not suffer for lack of adequate, wholesome food, although variety will be less and some items will be scarce. There should always be ample clothing, though quality and style will not be what we have considered essential. But food and clothing do not denote prosperity. They do not provide for what we consider the American way of living.
 Real prosperity is present only when, after satisfying the subsistence needs for food, clothing and shelter, a people is in position to acquire also the conVenienceS, the comforts, the minor luXuries of life. So when we thing of taxation and of wage indices, let's not fool ourselves that we can give enough and leave enough to preserve or improve the American stand ard of living. The American standard of living has gone into ships, planes tanks, guns, shells, bombs, invasion barges. There won't be any such thing again, until we have won this war.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1942-08-24

At meeting of the county sheriffs of the state last week J. Edward Slavin of New Haven brought up the subject of using prisoners for outside work on farms and orchards. There was some talk of discontinuing the practice because of a fear that public opinion would be aroused if any of the prisoners escaped while en- gagged at such labors However, the group decided that they would continue the custom and brave the assaults of public opinion if any were voiced. We think the sheriffs ought to pursue such pro- gram It's hard to secure labor on farms this summer and will be even harder when fall harvests arrive. If prisoners can be adapted to such outdoor work they should be given it. The chance of them escaping will have to be run, but pre- sumably some sort of control will be maintained and it's up to the authorities to see that it's adequate enough to dis courage any thoughts of escape.

Give-Or Have Them Taken

When the Army and Navy needed 500,- 900 typewriters, letters were written to 25,000 corporate purchasing agents ask ing that they sell their surpluses to Uncle Sam. Nothing much happened. Now the government is asking individuals to sell their machines for Army-Navy use.
 Unless the response to this second appeal is unexpectedly good, insiders pre- dict that soft-spoken Donald Nelson is going to get tough. The WIPE has sales records showing what companies bought new typewriters, just before their sale was prohibited, and hung onto their old ones, too If there aren't enough volunteers, there will be conscription

Pacific Charter, Too

Manuel Quezon wants it understood that the Atlantic Charter applies also to the Pacific - that it is charter for Europe and for America, for Africa, and for Australia, and - let us be clear on this = it is a charter for freedom for the peoples of Asia and all the Far East" The Philippine president is correct.
 The Atlantic Charter was so named because it was on the waters of that ocean that President Roosevelt and Premier Churchill met to promulgate their ideal istic declaration But the pledges were unlimited geographically.

With James A. Farley reelected to the office of Democratic State Chairman in New York for two more years he very definitely becomes the man of the hour so far as 1914 is concerned. It seems like jumping unnecessary hurdles when we leap to 1914 without even waiting for the 1922 elections to be disposed of, but you can rest assured that this 1914 contest is quite apt to dwarf everything else po- liticaly that has gone before it, presumlng, naturally, that events run true to form. The war, of course, will play prominent part and may sway the outcome one way or the other. The man to watch, though, seems to be Farley. He may be coming into his own after one postponement.

It's Your Guess

On the basis of the voting in the Dem- ocratic Primary of last Friday lot of SurmiSeS, or would you call them uSt guesses, might be made for the Novem- Der election. One thing is certain and that's the possibility of an extremely light vote here in Waterbury. Of course conditions were far from ideal last Fri day for voting. The weather was not the type that encourages people to get out and visit the polling places. Cooler weather is needed.
 But if any set of circumstances could be relied on to bring out the voters they were certainly presented last week. There were clear-cut issues to be fought over, as well as candidate preference to be shown. The result, however, was that about half the number Of registered vot- CTS who voted in 1940 in similar primary contests took time out to cast a ballot. So what! So people just aren't getting worked up over men or issues. Whether the apathy will continue is matter of some conjecture.
 Another point to which some attention might be paid by election officials is the value of late voting Customarily under Democratic Party rules primary elections are conducted between the hours of 4:30 and 9:3O D. m. The Town Committee, however, voted to expand these hours, 50 that no one would say he or she didn't have chance to vote. The hours were 1:30 to 9:3O p. m. Late evening voting was as sparse as it was in the first few hours. The most votes were cast be- tween and 7. So if election hours in November are heightened it may be loves labor lost or just simply case of sitting around and waiting for voters who won't appear.
 The main objective from now on should be. in this writer's estimation, cam 1aign to interest people in voting. In smes like the ones through which we LOW pass, there should be a general ex- oression of opinion at the polls not alnofity one.
