Bread Upon the Waters

"Cast thy bread upon the waters"
adjured the Preacher, "for thou shalt find
it after many days." Nineteen years ago
the United States cast certain bread upon
the waters, in the form of life-saving and
other equipment which it sent to Japan
out of the fullness of kind heart to
relieve the suffering in the disastrous
wave of earthquakes fires, and tidal
waves that swept the islands.
Today that bread is being found again,
after many days. The supplies, plainly
marked ~. S. Army Transport Merritt"
were found in the invasion barges used
by Japanese troops to attack MacArthur's
Magnificents on Bataan Peninsula. The
Merritt was the ship which carried the
mercy cargo from Manila in 1923; Gen
eral Macarthur is the man who loaded
that cargo when he was commander OF
the Philippine Scouts. 1t is but poor
return the Japanese are making for our
generous impulse of 10 years ago.
Need we regret the impulse? We think
not. We of the United States believe IN
Q God of mercy. It is with such God
that we must square our actions. II the

For Keeps This Time

Within very short time curfew IS
going to ring again for the motorists OF
eastern United States. The entire sea-
board will not only be BACKED out ire
quently during the next few months, but
therell be less motoring as the days
grow longer and the urge to get out on
the open road grows stronger. In snort
Petroleum Coordinator Harold Ickes sees
a serious threat to our diminishing fuel
supplies in the sinking of tankers out IN
the vast reaches of the Atlantic. And con-
sequently, gasoline stations will close from
a. M to p. m. and all day on Sunday:
We know what that means, for we went
through a siege of it last summer. This
time, though, it's far more serious than
it was then. We weren't at war at that
time and there weren't any U-BoatS IN
terfering with ocean commerce between
the Americas. There were many steps
being taken for national defense, but they
were only a small rehearsal for the
gigantic strides the nation is now taking
in it's efforts to gear its war machine for
a conflict that may upset the entire
world.
This is the real business and Americans
had better make up their mind that II the
gasoline ban is imposed throughout the
Atlantic coastal area it will be for the
duration of the war and may ultimately
include, not merely limited hours during
which gasoline and other fuels can be
sold, but limited quantities for car
owners, householders, etc. 1t isn't even
a radical thought to vision such drastic
curtailment of automobile operation
that more than a mere majority of cars
will lie idle in garages for long periods
while their owners find out the pleasures
to be derived from an early morning walk.

come when we will not regret that we

until a blast of gunfire came through
that very door. 1t all stands on the
record and we may have confidence that
the time will come when Japanese tears
OF bitter shame and regret will try to
wipe out the stain of that treacherouS

If Pennsylvania can do it, why not Con-
necticut? That might well be the sub
ject of an interesting debate or essay for
Connecticut high school students. The
meat behind the gravy would be dis
cussion of congressional reapportion-
ment. Pennsylvania is taking up this
week the subject of cutting the states "a
districts to 33, with room for represen-
tative-at-large. Redistricting is at best a
difficult assignment, but certainly where
there have to be more than thirty districts
carved out of state it's whole lot hard
er to do successful job than it would be
here in Connecticut, which is allotted six
representatives in the House of Congress,
but only sets up five districts We still
cling to the congressman-at-large and
will continue to do so for at least ten
more years, because reapportionment
can't be made now until 1851 under our
statutes Some day the state government
will set up permanent body to keep our
political subdivisions lines Strengthened
out and their size comparable.
