Beating the U-Boats

Ff It is not necessary to have access to any secret statistics to realize that as of today, and as of any tomorrow soon enough to be significant, the United Nations are los ing the battle of the Atlantic. That fact is unacceptable in the light of official state iHnents that Axis submarines, mostly Ger man, are sinking our vessels faster than we can replace them. Considering also the official concessions that we never had enough shipping space for the war job, the only sane conclusion is that a bad situation is steadily becoming worse.
 This could mean that we shall lose this war. It may mean just that, unless we show little of that American imagina- tion and initiative of which we love to boast. How can we beat the U-boats, solve our shipping headaches, and get to the fighting fronts those supplies which are useless while they lie around factories, warehouses and piers?
 6 Obviously there are three methods, and no more. The first is to reduce the sub marine toll. Thus far every effort in that direction has failed. The second is to build even more ships even faster than our astounding successful current pro- gram is doing. And where shall ge get the raw materials in time? The third is to cast tradition to the winds, climb out of the deep rut we are in, and beat Ger man initiative with American ingenuity and initiative by carrying our cargoes where the submarines cannot even see. them-much less torpedo them.
 That is what proponents of huge air freight fleet, to supplement and perhaps even replace the Water-bornc merchant marine, are urging. Aeronautical sci ence has reached point where we can build aircraft capable cf carrying two of our largest tanks, or 20 of our P-40 fighters, or corresponding quantities of other armament, thousands of miles, non stop.
 They can go to the farthest corners of the war front, leave their cargoes, pick up any return loads, and be back in a week. It takes ship five months for some of these round trips - provided the ship gets back at all. Radical? Sure. Daring? Of course. A gamble? Prob ably. Isn't this the time for daring for gamble that will improve the odds now against us?

New Job For Them

You really can't blame the garagemen Of the state for showing resentment to the proposal from the State Motor Vehicle Department that they file reports on all accident-damaged automobiles brought into them for repairs After all conditions haven't been too kind to the diverse motor business interests of recent months. Car sales are meagre; gasoline and tire rationing has cut into automo- bile operation which naturally means that fewer people are having their cars serviced regularly or are bringing them in for necessary repairs.
 Accidents continue, to be sure, but they, likewise, are at a minimum. In a situation like this it's kind of difficult for your average garage owner to accept the responsibility for reporting to Hart ford instances where he knows automo- piles have been damaged by accidents. The Motor Vehicle Department seeks to have this done, because statistics show that very few drivers of cars invoVed in accidents take the trouble to report the same, as they are required by law, to the department.
 Up until last year it was compulsory, too for garages and repair shops to re- port in all cars damaged by accidents. But the last Legislature eliminated this provision from the motor vehicle laws. There must have been some reason for 1t and 1t certainly wasn't, at that time, the decreasing need for the same due to fewer vehicles being operated. So it would seem now as if responsible repre- sentatives of the garagemen might sit down with the Motor Vehicle Department heads and arrive at some satisfactory solution of the problem. It's still neces- sary to have reports on all accidents, but a way of obtaining them without making policemen of the garage and repair shop owners is possible.

Slowdowners

A naive or possibly sarcastic-writer expressed disbelief the other day that anybody in these times would participate in or instigate showdown in a war plant. The fact remains that there are slow downs daily in such factories, at least some of them inspired by men who think of themselves as loyal Americans. They are shortsighted enough to place tradi- tional union methods above the war emergency.
 Such, presumably, was the burly em- ploye who tried to force out too ener- getic workman in midWestern plant. That slowdoWner was amazed when his victim displayed FBI credentials and handcuffs. We can't have FBI agents in every war factory It is up to loyal work men to protect themselves and their country against the slowdowner, whether he is traitorous fifth columnist or a misguided shop steward.

 ?. All extraordinary war powers must be duly authorized by ap act of Congress which so accurately defines the powers granted that any violations may be clearly measured by the courts. The grant of these powers must be limited to the duration of the war and its immediate Aftermath.
 5. Under no circumstances should these extraordinary pow CTS be used for other than the purpose for which they were in tended; that is "the defense of the realm" Their incidental use as measures of social reform or for political advancement is not to be tolerated.

old age tax bill presented to it by the state. New Haven has had that happen, too. and we feel sure that it has occurred in a great many other places However, when these places paid the state they weren't excused from paying the full amount of their bill, simply because there were delinquent taxpayers. They had to dig into their treasuries and &C., count for the amount of the bill as pre- sented.
 All of which may not seem like much of an argument. Actually it isn't in- tended to be, because we don't think there is much to the argument that our old age tax bill has been oversubscribed and the city was able to turn the money into it's general fund. Over a period of years if the excesses and the deficits balance, as they are quite apt to do, we fail to see where anyone gains or loses.

How Many Men?

Judging from official announcements, we have about four million men in the Army and one million in the Navy, a total of five million under arms, as con- trasted with 3,673,888 in the Army and 260, ,162 in the Navy at the close of World War l. Apparently we are going on expanding the Army to goal of some 10 millions. Isn't it about time we con- sidered calling halt?
 The course of this war raises strong question whether we can do anything with 10 million soldiers. Already we are having difficulty getting manpower for production. Doubling the size of the Army means taking another five millions from the production force that already is insufficient to serve the present Army plus our allies This would seem to be a good time for striking balance, before it is too late.

According to all the reports around the state there doesn't seem to be any let-up in the drive to extricate old trolley rails from pavements, the idea being their salvage for the nations steel pile. That's very fine and we hope nothing interferes with ithe plans. We read that about 1,5O0 tons are believed obtainable in this state with Waterbury due to contribute 50 of these. The last we heard of Wa terburys part in the rail salvage drive the city was more or less stymied by the fact that if it started to tear up the streets where the rails are imbedded there was chance of these thoroughfares not being repaired due to lack of materials. If it's true in Waterbury, it should be true elsewhere. Hartford has big prof ect on its hands now with lengthy sec tion of Main Street to be completely re- paved in connection with the rail removal If they can do 1t in Hartford and if other Connecticut cities are going to be able to put their streets back in shape after the excavations, then we shouldn't be forced to drop out of line.

Does It Work Both Ways?

The complaint or charge was voiced this week by Edward J. Ryan that cities and towns of Connecticut are growing fat on oyer-payments made on old age pensions. Instances were cited in which the state had levied a certain tax against this city with considerable more than that being actually paid in. That's merely sign of the times through which we are now passing. If examination of past records had been made 1t might have been learned that 1t wasn't always that way.

According to prominent fuel dealer in New York City. the winter of 194l-42 should not be used as a guide for com putting how much fuel you might be able to get along on this coming winter. It was abnormally warm last winter says A. C. Dodson of Weston Dodson & Co. If the coming season is at all normal, fuel consumption will be in excess of last years, presuming, of course, it is obtain able. However, 1t doesn't look as if au- thorities want us to even consume as much fuel as year ago. so here's hoping the elements will be as kind during the winter months, as they were during the spring and have been so far this summer.

 We are experiencing the exercise of extraordinary war limitations upon our freedoms which in times of peace we never could believe would be necessary These now meet with general approval.
 Daily men are being taken out Of peaceful occupations by the Selec- tive Service Act and sent into the armed forces of our country under the orders of the president author ized by Congress. Shortly men may be taken out of their regular occu- pations and placed in war indus tries. We have authorized the pres ident to seize certain classes of property necessary for war, and to appropriate for public use inventions and intangible rights which are pro- tccted by our laws and courts. ln- heritance taxes are being imposed which amount to capital levies. and our income taxes deny the right or an adequate rate of return upon capital investment. when 1t is pro- posed that up to three quarters Of the net income of corporations be taken by taxes. Compulsory in- vestment in Government Bonds are now being considered. We are all going without materials essential to our personal needs. which. in times of peace we would never tolerate. The question is frequently asked: If these measures are right and proper. what Limitations if any, should be put upon their use?

The offer was made by Russian officials at meeting with VIII Clayton, assistant secretary of commerce and Jesse Jones right hand man; and with George H. Hill, Jr., vice president of Jesses Defense Supplies Corporation.
 This was shortly before the fall of the Dutch East Indies, but when It's fall appeared imminent.
 Russia, realizing the danger to our rubber sources, and being then the biggest synthetic rubber producer in the world, offered its information to the United States. The Soviet uses an alcohol pro- cess for synthetic rubber, which 1t developed. and published in it's trade journal, even before Ger many.
 However, the Rubber Reserve decided to use petroleum base for rubber instead of alcohol. 1t cIung tO that thesis until re- gently when Congress raised such a terrific furOr over discTimina- ton against midwest grain and contended that Jesse Jones was favoring the big oil companies of Texas.
 NOTE -- The Russians asked nothing in return for their syn thetic rubber information, but, even so, got no reply.

 Flutter the Whippoorwills, drieying the purple mountains Up to each spruce-topped crown The rims where the shyest fountains Start from the sunset down. The deer in the deepest hollOws. The hawks in their taIlest nests, Listen as darkness follows
 The ridges where silence rests Where day Is An ended story, Where night is lonely thing; And, after the sunsets glory, The whippoorwills start to sing.
