Hornets Nest

Wendell Willkie stirred up a hornets nest when he took a crack recently at Winston Churchill'S remarks that what the British Commonwealth of Nations has it will hold. The whole thing probably was a series of misunderstanding Either MT. Willkie or the British misunderstood what Churchill meant, and the British apparently misunderstood what MT. Willkie had in mind. The episode has served a useful purpose. Nobody could read the bitterly indignant editorials in the Canadian press without diSmiSSing any idea that Canada has wearied of its ties with the British Empire.
 Most Americans knew that, but of late 8 few have been mudying the waters with talk about joinder of the two great North American nations. They can now forget their pipe dream and get back to the business of good neigh borliness. The general Canadian reac- tion to MT Willkie'S speech is fairly indi- cated by the heading of an editorial i'll the Ottawa Journal - "The Iron Cross for Willkie."
 The Canadian attitude toward the British Empire is well summarized by the Toronto Globe and Mail "On Strip ping the Empire" This prominent DOmlnlOn JOuTlldI COIlceueS IIldI DlA- tain can and does make mistakes. But then goes on to refute MT. Wiukie'S epithets with some facts. The United States had almost four times as much of Malaya's exports in 1940 as went to the United Kingdom. That is to say" remarks the Globe and Mail, "the colo nial imperialism which is supposed to be exploiting the country received only one seventh of the rubber, tin, copra, palm oil and timber shipped abroad
 No colony is taxed for the benefit of Great Britain, says the Globe and Mail, but only to defray local costs of govern ment and public improvements. Colonial imperialism" has been, in fact, beneVo- lently constructive process by which SaV- age iungleS have been made into thriving productive areas whose output has been available to whoever cared to buy 1t ln an open market, the Globe and Mail argues.
 This may be over-simplification of the situation. It does ignore certain intrigu- ing aspects of British colonial history. And yet the Canadian newspapers even tempered analysis goes far to support It's conclusion that the So-called "emplre" really is more nearly "union" or "feder- ation" In any event Canada - and apparently the other dominions - does not feel that the people of the United States need waste any sympathy on the British provincials. They're quite we'll satisfied with their present status.

For All Public Officials

Public officials throughout the' entire nation are getting lesson from the BoS- ton calamity of last weekend. Every where they are rushing to close up gaps ln existing laws, to supply teeth to existing statutes, to make sure that the same thing doesn't happen in their community. It's the same the old world over; we lock the door after the horse is stolen. It takes a catastrophe to awaken us to the need of making changes in laws pertain ing to public safety.
 Americans usually regard themselves as far-Sighted, efficient, and aWay-ahead- of-the- game with respect to almost every thing you can mention. But it's apparent that our laws to safeguard the general public some times show loop-holeS. The Boston fire brought this out and the en- suing investigation concluSively proves that there can never be any let-up III our efforts to make public buildings, in which large numbers of people are allowed to congregate, as fool-proof as Is humanly possible.
 Such disastrous blaze might not hap pen again in thousand years. But then again it's possible that we could have one tomorrow or the next day or next week. All of which doesn't alter the fact that there well can be right now lot of check ing up and tightening up by American officialdom of it's public building laws, US fire laws, and all such statutes designed to protect the general public from just such fires as occurred in Boston. LaXlty, careleSsness, etc. have not been officially alleged or proved at Boston. And before any of us start to point an accusing tlng- CT we should make sure our own house IS in order.

out parallel in the worlds history,
 Tonight in Waterbury, as in many oth- CT communities throughout this nation, expression will be given to the feelings of public officials and representatives of the Jewish people. 1t will conclude period of mourning. But more than that 1t will dedicate purpose. This purpose will be the downfall and the destruction of the author of the program of brutality, bes- tiality, and wantonness now going on in many areas of Europe.
 Civilized people shudder at the reports coming to America of what has happened and what is still happening to the Jewish people of Germany, Austria, Poland, Lith- uania, Belgium, Rumania, Latvia, and other countries in which their numbers were once considerable. Wholesale Slaugh- ter, mass massacre, death as human gui- nea pigs for German Scientists-an such repulSive reports are brought to our at tention. And they are authenticated. As a matter of fact we doubt if German au- thorities would even try to deny them.
 Once upon a time Americans thought this was a good world-one in which 1t was pleasant to live and die. But when we realize that we are living a contem- porary existence with men who counten. ance, encourage, and direct such atroci- ties as those visited on the haplesS Jews of Europe, one wonders if we haven't de- Scended far down the ladder of civiliza- tion. God grant that most of us may live to see the day when those reSpon- Sible for these crimes of race extermin- ation, to mention but one, will pay for them.

According to the Post Mayor Jasper McLevy is planning a new city hall down in Bridgeport. A good many city offices were burned out last week when flames raced through several central buildings in which they were housed. However, the plans don't call for immediate conStruc- tion of new City Hall, in which may be accommodated all civic departments. War restrictions would probably prevent the type of structure that city like Bridge port needs and might expect. It'll have to be after the war. Waterbury got its present municipal building as direct re- suit of fire. Back in 1912 the old City Hall on West Main Street was gutted by flames. When the new structure was built our officials moved over to Grand Street, but in Bridgeport there is senti- ment for retaining the old City Hall for historical and sentimental reasons with larger municipal structure close by With out intruding our opinions on Bridgeport it could be said that too often sentiment can prove expensive and taxpayers aren't partial to mixing sentiment with the tax rate.

 TWO-FISTED LETTERS
 Rubber Czar Bill Jeffers lived up to his two-fistcd reputation when testifying at closed meet ing of the House Interstate Com merce subcommittee which was probing the need of nationwide gas rationing,
 Jeffers bluntly told the Subcom- mittee, headed by Representative Clinton P, Anderson Of New Mex leo, that Congressional efforts to block the rationing program would get nowhere.
 'I understand the position of you gentlemen, hut l want you also to understand mine" said the Rubber Administrator. My job is to carry out the recom- mcndations of the Baruch report and | intend to do itv
 Jeffers said he hoped to keep the nation lon rubber so we will have sufficient transportation for workers in war industries. Ma tionwide gas rationing is an es- sential step in this direction, he added, "and I'm all for it."
 The rubber boss was questioned closely on whether Leon Hender-

separate departments which are closed to each other. The army now contains 2 per cent of our en- listed man power. and industry, agriculture and civilian employ ment contain 93 per cent. The pro- cess of squeezing more out of the latter group Is limited if We are to support and maintain the army, and at the same time continue to expand as the arsenal Of the de- mocracieS of the world. Unless, therefore, the man power problem Is administered as single problem there will be increased pickering between all of its demands. These will have political reactions, still further confusing the whole prob- lem. We are seeking for a balance under which our war production may reach a maximum in the sup port of our own army and those of our allies. But we are already Suf- fering from a lack of determina- ton of a national policy, its ad- ministration ard extension.
 This national policy must be able to determine from time to time, as conditions change: (a) how large an army. navy and air force We must have; ((b) how much indus trial production will be required to support them: (c) how much indus trial production must te put at the services of our allies. and its relative

NARROWER PROBLEM IS TO HAVE RIGHT PEOPLE IN RIGHT PLACE AT
 RIGHT TIME

Hartford, Conn,
 November 30, l942. Editor Of The Democrat:
 Thc next great war problem ahead, as the President has told us, is the control and enlistment of our man power.
 Whether we approach 1t from the point Of view of military service, which must take precedence over other services, or from the point of view of the industries necessary to support the war, 1t is an indivisible problem and must be treated as such.
 The armed forces are insisting that they must eventually be sup piled with 10 million men They naturally want the best. Where are they coming from?
 It is becoming a source of serious anxi2ty that war industries in this area are not holding their own, either in the total number of em- ployes or in the rate of produc- ton. This is due. in major part, to three factors: (a) tfc lack of sources of additional man power of men and women available under existing conditions: (b) the con- stant shifting of employees from one industry to another in the hope of higher wages. This, in many in- dustries, has doubled or trebled the rate of turnover and has made for instability and inefiiciency; Co the accumulating shortages of materials of many kinds.
 In view of these conditions limit ing the increase in industrial out put for war, it is becoming essen- tial that a selective enlistment Of labor must soon be instituted If our production is to be increased as de- manded by the necessities of war. This may not take the course of direct compulsion, but be induced by the necessity of selecting or en- listing in some form of war service.
 The problem of the enlistment Of increased man power in the army and industry is not two problems but different aspects of the same problem. They cannot be separated and set oil to be aduisn'-'---~ '~

Alcan Highway

Crowded onto inside pages by more spectacular happenings was a United Nations achievement so important that details may not be publicized until the war is over that was com- pletion and opening of the Alcan Highway, making available motor road from the United States through Can- ada to Fairbanks, Alaska.
 We and the Japs can guess at the mil itary importance of the road from the fact that in these times of scarce mater ials, equipment and manpower, it was pushed 1881 miles through one of the worlds great wildernesses in seven months and IT days. There are no sub marines lurking under the Alcan High way.

son was cooperating with him. He replied that 1t was difficult to be the Price Administrator and also handle rationing, since the two things are contradictory, As price chief, Henderson was supposed to protect the public, while as ra- tioning director he Is depriving the public of something, Jeffers explained,
 Several members of the suh- committee continued to fire lead- ing questions about Henderson, hoping Jeffers would take a poke at the OPA boss, They pointed out that it was Henderson who had initiated the nationwide gas rationing program and that the Rubber Administration and the Ofiiee of Defense Transportation were forced to go along, whether they approved of the program or not,
 "I guess you were the victim of a cigar that was too big to Dc chewed," commented Rep rcsentativc Hatton Summers of Texas.
 What do you mcan:" shot back JefferS. T can chew a pretty big one"
 You misunderstood Mir. sum ners." broke in L. D. Tompkins, Jeffers' assistant, By cigar he meant Leon Henderson" The rubber boss laughed but made no comment.

her. It would be unthinkable both 10 her and her parents that she would ever have to face anything hard i'll life. She has been denied the thrill of achievement because she has been waited upon hand and foot. The free flow of her energy has been impeded because she al- ways stands in her own way Habit and parental care has deepened in her the somewhat natural disposi- ton to think only of herself and her needs.
 In other words while almost everyone else prefers life with dash of salt sprinkled over 1t to add 10 it's relish, she wants heaping teaspoonful of sugar. What she fails 10 realize is that while salt doesn't taste very good, 1t has a wonderful way of bringing out the latent flaw ors. Discipline doesn't taste very good. nor pain. nor denial. but these things give a lot more tang to life than too much sugar.
 The person for whom life con. Sists of another and still another spoonful of sugar and no salt at all IS destined to live life through with cut experiencing happiness. Sugar has it's place in dict, but it can never Iake the place Of salt.

Three Kansas City families found ref rigerator space inadequate for left-overs from the meat rationing program-two and one-half pounds per person per week Thus is confirmed the scoffing of those many housewives who, reading how we were to be cut down on meats, incredul- ously said: "How long since we've aver aged two and one-half pounds of meat for each of us?" Like so many other hard ships meat rationing is worse in anticipa- tion than in realization.
