This business now going on down in Congress, we refer to the Senate filibuster on the bill abolishing the poll tax so that men in the service can vote without regis tration, such as is required in many states, is just the sort of thing that your average American can't understand. And we don't blame him. A group of two or three legis- lators can block consideration on bill simply by technicalities and not by an open and frank discussion of the matter at hand. They probably realize that if they discussed the impending legislation they'd be outtalked and outvoted, so they resort to the parliamentary procedure of protecting their own special state ln- terests In a time of peace this IS pad enough, but certainly now there's war being brought home more forcibly to us with each passing day these elected rep resentatives of the people ought to come down to earth.

Could Be Carried Further

The proposal, voiced this week after the Board of Finance had drawn up budget for aldermanic approval that contem- plated $500 salary adjustments for all city employees, that there be restrictions in- posed could be stretched into all sorts of shapes. The direct proposal was that no pay raises be granted to any city employe whose salary exceeds $4,0O0 per annum. There are number of higher bracket officials whose salaries are set by charter which would not be affected one way or the other. Any contemplated pay increases won't touch them.
 So removing them from the list it ap- pears there are only six employees who would be deprived of the anticipated $500 raise This would only lop $500 off the salary item that would be set up in the 1943 budget. It doesn't seem as If the amount were worth the clamor that at tended the demand. If there were to be tremendous saving of if there were some basic principle involved in the matter we might agree that here was something worth the attention of our aldermen. But there apparently isn't nor is it a matter of principle.
 And $1, 800 spread among thousand or more employees would not make much material difference in the proposed wage increase for them Aside from all this there's the thought of imposing limita- tion on persons earning capacity when it reaches a certain level. If living costs have mounted for one wage level, they have mounted for all. The basic idea behind any such wage increases, should be, we think, the scriptural one of the laborer being worthy of his hire.

 A faith in a hymn of hate is recommended. as 1t is by animosity and intense aversion to the Axis enemies that we can hope to bring disaster to their arms.
 The faith we place our confidence in is the one established in the power of and fidelity expressed in the pledges given by our constituted state and national authority. which being the American Peoples herit- age will bring the war of survival to a successful finish If supported by hymn of hate.
 The affrontery and non-existing reasoning of various dominies brought up in the exclusive order of forgive your enemies for they know not what they do, advise offering prayers for our enemies as well as for our cause. Can you coincide the doctrine of love your enemies with the destroying lust and barbarity that they excel in? A faith that teaches a doctrine of that calibre is tenet contrary to the law of hu- man conception and thought, and

Looks Like Real War

Recent successes of our armed forces on land and sea and in the air have gwen us great hopes of an early end to the war, but certainly the latest mandate of the Army with respect to Waterbury and , many other places in the New England coastal area should bring us right down to earth again. We may have thought that the city had been dimmed out pretty well in the past year, but it's nothing compared to what is to come, starting with one-half hour after sunset on Nov ember 30.
 We become a strict military area at that hour with lights of revealing nature to ships at sea strictly taboo. That ln- cludes almost everything that might provide any degree of outdoor reflection. For example lights on cars operating after sun-down will have to be of low lnten- sity. Backing out the upper half of the . headlight is the accepted method Of com plying with this requirement. But 1t doesn't end with this. All outdoor and display signs will have to be extinguished and other forms of lighting dimmed or shielded.
 Waterbury is just one of many areas, fairly well inland, which will be required to comply with these restrictions There are other such islands" which might he a beacon to some enemy ship off our coast. To blot them out completely it's necessary now to impose the strictest of din-out rules. We can comply with them without too must effort or inconvenience. And in doing so we may come to realize
 more fully just how serious is this war we hope we are winning, but which sun requires lot of intense and whole-hearted effort on the part of every American- man, woman, boy, and girl.

We wouldn't be surprised if the new dim-out regulations going into effect locally on November 30 might discourage the use of automobiles considerably. While it will certainly tend to keep the people from using their cars after sun down there will also be a gradual dlsap- pearance of many cars not necessary to everyday working pursuits from. the streets both day and night This winter more than at any time for fifteen or twenty years there'll be winter storage or pleasure vehicles. Once upon time IL was a venturesome owner who drove ms car all winter Wonder if increasing re- strictions won't make of us less venture some.

Time to Begin Reaping

There has been criticism of our policy toward Vichy France. That policy rested upon a gamble. One element in the gamble, it can be disclosed, was the hope that by overtolerance we could convince the French people of our deep sympathy, against the time when we might come to their deliverance with armies.
 That time may be close. (That is logic; the high command has not told us.) Soon we shall see whether we have helped the French to salvage the self-respect and fighting spirit to refuse to heed their axis controlled government when it seeks to make them resist our efforts to free them from slavery.

Teachers of Japanese

New York's Mayor La Guardia is con- sidering putting courses in the Chinese and Japanese languages into the metrop- olis' high schools. Presumably other cities are pondering similar schemes. Yes but
 The idea is fine. But so far as Japanese is concerned, the Army cannot get enough competent interpreters for it's most pressing needs. Unless they can be taken from those not trustworthy enough for Army use, we can't see where the schools are to find competent instructors. And do we want our children taught by Japan csc who cannot satisfy government tests as to loyalty?

A Thought for Today
States Rights and the Draft

SelecLive Service -- the military draft -- is one of the few topics on which we venture cenSorious criticism only with the greatest of reluctance This is for number of reasons, of which not the least is that Selective Service has demon Strated a willingness to learn from past errors which is all too rare in official agencies. Also, we realize that the draft inevitably causes so much disruption of normal family and social and economic relationships brings so much worry and hearJbreak, that it cannot avoid drawing criticisms of detail which are neither per tinent nor legitimate when they are placed against the background of national emergency
 We go even further and concede, before raising the questions that we have in mind, that the decentralization through which each mans case is adjudged locally is probably one reason why Selecti1e Service has done its tremendous job with so little scandal. Nevertheless, because of this decentralization there are con- Stantly arising valid criticisms which, added together, lead some to feel that we do not really have national draft, but rather an aggregation of thousands of local drafts Sub-totaled into AS state drafts.
 Since we are fighting a national war, thiS obviously is not right. It is not in- tended. General Hershey's office, we believe, is trying diligently to make the draft truly national and uniform and, because human nature is what it is, is running into difficulties. The colleges, r1la oh 1Occ of their students. So the president of Mid dlebury College has obtained a promise from the Vermont director of Selective Service to try to defer all juniors and seniors, plus freshmen and SophomoreS majoring in technical subjects.
 There is strong argument for this course. But why only in Vermont? If it is preponderately sound, why not every orally desirable, why in Vermont? It is the announced desire of General Her Shey's office that each classification of registrant should be cleaned up before the next is drafted. Yet state and local officials regularly make announcements indicating that this is not being done.
 This is happening right now ill con- nection with the calling up of married men, made necessary by Congress fight over amendments to the 1S-l9-year-old draft. Some localities, it is announced, are to call up married men while other districts still have unmarried men avail able and undrafted. We have feeling that the type of problem which these situations illustrate is important. It sug geStS that there is needed closer control over local and state administrations if this draft is to be truly national. We hope that Selective Service will agree and act, even if it should prove necessary to request Congress to make changes in the law.

HYMN OF HATE MUST ACCOM- PANY OUR FIGHTING
 EFFORTS

Editor, Waterbury Democrat:
 We Americans have been in this Survival War long enough to con- vince us that the Axis trio have hate in their systems. Justice has been absent from the beginning; in fact the Huns have never cast hat red from their nature since the loss of World War I.
 We have to realize that we should be guided by the law of survival of the fittest. Our Democracy has proved our fitness, after an exper- fence of over 160 years. Our Declar- ation of Independence and Bill of Rights have been our guide. we need no other means of guidance that was promulgated by the founding fathers. As long as we allow them to function, they will continue to be the basis of our Constitution in dealing with our enemies.
 When we are engaged iii produc- ing munitions of war. drafting man power, rationing neceSSaries of life, increasing taxes, sacrificing human life, standing heavy losses in ship ping, in the War of Survival, it is plain that we should not practice complacency, sympathy, or forgive our enemies. It is the height of ab- surdity for Americans, whatever their station of life, to allow the facts of the enmity emanating from the German-Italian-Japanese triangle to escape their minds.
 The Axis combination is en- deavoring to destroy all semblance and fabric of our Democracy, and to render our Constitutional rights asunder. Being so, we are justified in putting into force hymn of hate of fighting quality.
 We hear interpretations of what faith we should adhere to in order to be steadfast in morale to defeat tn Axis enemies. The lecture plats form, pulpits and society forums are all endeavoring to plant some idea of a faith in the minds of the multitude. Some advocate prayer as the faith to salvation of the War Of Survival. Other manifestations of faith which carry weight is the

NOVEMBER

NOVEMBER (Pearl Lunt Robinson in The Christian
 Science Monitor) November is a gray, gaunt woman preparing her house for a guest, safening it against the boisterous coming of a beloved child. Swept of ornament the glowing highboy, the satin-topped tables swept, swept are the low carved chests. Even the crimson draperies lie quitely in burning folds behind a polished lock, quite strong November is tall, spare woman She stands at an open door, her cleared house rising beautiful behind her. Full of quiet joy she awaits the swift sweet onset

one of them, which doesn't get into the headlines, is to be the dip- lomatic negotiator among high French officials.
 Among other things, he has been very adroit in handling Gen. Giraud, who escaped from France dressed as an old woman and who now is i'm command of French forces in North Africa.
 Actually, Gen. Giraud expected to be commander of all forces in North Africa, both French and American. He is one of the high est generals in the French army, and before France fell, would have replaced Gen. Gameln as Chief of Staff had he not been taken prisoner. Therefore, since he outranks Eisenhower and has had much more varied experience, it is not unnatural that Giraud should aspire to be commander -in-chief of the entire North African operation, including the U. s. Army.
 Eisenhower, however, has Q charming personality, . broad grin, q smattering of French, and had little trouble in handling Gen. Giraud.
 Another complication was the fact that Giraud hates Admiral Darlan. Yet Darlan, as mem- Der of the cabinet, outranks him. Tn addition, there is Gen. Mo- gues, another top-ranking officer So 1t has been worked out thet Nogues commands the French civil population, Giraud the krencn Army, and Darlan the French fleet. ....

Production Board and one of the most powerful in the government. It hasn't leaked out yet, but re- gently he managed to overrule the Vice President of the United United States, the Undersecretary of State, and Lend-Lease Admin istrator Ed Stettinius.
 Some time ago, Eberstadt ap- pointed as chier of WIPE Export Priorities, Major Tom Armstrong, of Standard Oil of New Jersey, who hes operated in various Latin American countries. Armstrong had been vigorous in bucking the development of Latin American government-owned oil companies, and the Latin Americans don't like him. Therefore, they squawked when they heard he would now sit in the all-import- ant priorities position where he could decide whether they could, or could not, receive oil equipment to develop their government owned industries in competition WlI1 OtdAOd4u oAlN PANUVS SSAAA- panies.
 Undersecretary of State WelleS agreed with the Latin Americans, and protested to the President. So did Vice President Wallace of the BEW, and also Stettinius, who buys lend-lease oil equipment for Latin American governments.
 As result of these protests, Roosevelt ordered Donald Nelson to dismiss Major Armstrong. How ever, Eberstadt in effect has over- ruled the President. He insist ed that Armstrong remain. And he is still on the job.
