Terence F. Carmody

Terence F. Carmody spent practically all his life among us in Waterbury. From early manhood after completing his studies and taking up the practice of law he made the most of his opportunities. He won during his lifetime the esteem and good will of all. A man of amiability and dignity he lived full life devoted to his family and the pursuits of his profes- sion which brought him into contact with many; and in his association with those of the legal profession his close friends, and the community in general he estab- lished himself as leading citizen of the city.
 AS corporation lawyer, his Knowledge of the law identified him as one of the top-ranking men in the profession, locally and statewide. He won through his integrity and acumen in this field the respect of his fellow lawyers and others as well. He applied himself all his life to an honest consideration of any undertaking
 Mr. Carmody was never active in the political field and was never a candidate for elective office He took interest in the political life of his city, state and country but had no particular part in the handling of business of political nature. He did, however, take a large part here in all affairs of civic order and no undertaking of any importance was without his endorsement. He was associated with the leading organizations, the YM.C.A, St. Marys Hospital, and many others.
 Something over fifteen years ago Mr. Carmody and his family took up their residence in Watertown, and here, too, he was distinctive part of the commun- ity life, esteemed and respected His bus mess and professional life, however, con- tinued here in the home city. Driving along the familiar road from Thomaston to Watertown, close to the latter town, one might see MT. Carnody in his leisure hours sitting on the broad porch of his pleasant home there, close to the country that he so liked. His passing is great loss to the city and the sympathy of the Waterbury, -Watertown communities goes to his wife, daughter and sons, at this time.

in monopolistic control of the market for goods and services and the productive equipment of the nation. It was managed and directed under thousands of Cor porationS,' each free economic unit not controlled by any overhead power.
 "The NRPB plan is in general pro- posal for greatly increasing the area of the economy directed by the government and coordinating it into one unified sys- tenn under Federal executive control"
 Under the NRPB plan, political admin istrators would control indirectly with an iron hand more than 100000 business enterprises, over five million farmers and farm operators, together with the mil lions of workers in those enterprises. In short, they would control the livelihood of every citizen. Once they controlled that, they would soon be forced to con- trol his political convictions on the threadbare excuse of protecting the gen. eral welfare.
 The price of individual security as en- visioned in the NRPB plan would be de- struction of the republic--men, instead of laws, ruling by decree.

Another Fourth of July has come and gone. The day was celebrated, for the most part, in moderate fashion. Usually once the Fourth is negotiated and taken care of with it's picnics, outings, trips to Cousin Annabel's and Aunt Harriet's and Grandma Newcomb's we settle down to the real business of the summer. This summer, however, will not be like other summers. There will be more work and less play. Even the Fourth was somewhat noted, the ensemble displaying less brass in the orchestral sections. While it was not exactly a quiet Fourth it was de- cidedly slightly different from any Inde- pendence Day that we have ever known

Give Them Tools

Two war agencies, the Office of Defense Transportation and the Office of War Information have lately warned that the railroads are being driven to the limit, and that to carry the loads of the future they must be supplied with necessary equipment.
 Director J. B. Eastman of the ODT says: "One of the best ways to get the most out of transportation equipment is to keep 1t going, avoid delays, and in- crease the amount of work done per unit of time. In the dozen years which follow ed the last World War, the railroads spent several billions of dollars in the inn provement of their roadbeds, tracks and terminal facilities. They are getting the benefit of that expenditure now"
 If they are to continue rolling without delay, their equipment must be maintain ed and replaced as necessity requires The Office of War Information observes that the battle of transportation in the United States is now being won, and the war and necessary civilian transportation load is being carried. "The victories, however, are not necessarily permanent" says OWI. "Railroad =. equipment =. and tank cars are wearing out. Few replace ments are being made"
 The railroads have been highly prais- cd from all quarters for the job they have done. But praise alone won't haul oil to the East Coast. Praise won't take the place of steel rails or of locomotives. Praise alone won't move freight and troops. Railroad homogeneous will ap- preciate praise more after the job is done Right now they are like firemen working against time to rescue the occupants of ! burning building. They need the tools pf their trade.

And as July gets under way we read that the manpower need between now and next July first is set at 3,60O00O men. These are to be divided between armed forces and munitions industries. There is need it is said, to increase the armed forces from 9,3O0,oOO to 11,30O,O0O between now and next July and the munitions from 10,000,000 to 11,6O0,O0O. There are less reserves to draw on now so it looks like a tremendous task ahead The unem- ployed this past year were easily added to the munitions plants, but during the coming twelve months there will not be many in that former well known class called the unemployed"

THE SHORTAGE OF TEACHERS
(Hartford Courant)

A serious crisis in the schools of the country has just been revealed at the twenty-third annual meeting of the National Educational Associa- tion in Indianapolis. An officials re- port predicts that there will be a shortage of 75,000 teachers by the coming fall. According to pr. Ivan A. Booker, assistant director of the associations research staff, one out of every five male teachers has quit the profession since our declar- ation of war, either to join the col ors or to take war job at con- siderably higher pay.
 Particularly disquieting is the statement by Dr. Alonzo F. Myers of New York University that more than 100000 of the quarter of a million teachers who will have to be engaged this summer will have what he terms "substandard quail fications." That augurs i'll for the rising generation. It is truism in the educational field that often poor teacher is worse than no teacher at all Many promising adolescent mind has been wrecked by a half-baked pedagogue, or at least given such disgust for fur ther learning as to cause its pos Sessor to leave school to embark on business or industrial career at the bottom with little chance of rising.
 The dictator nations often sheer at democracies as breeders of medi- ocritieS. Aside from the easy an- swer that democracies do not breed monsters and "supermen" or make gods of their rulers, there is some thing else to be said. It is that this nation cannot afford to have me- diocrities instructing its youth. Even in the midst of all-out war;, and with the manpower problem increasingly difficult of solution, some way must be found to enlist more and better recruits in the profession glorified by Captain Nathan Hale.

Biz Government On March

The postwar construction plan drawn up by the National Resources Planning Board and now under consideration in Congress, except incidentally, is not posal to establish in this nation an au- thoritarian welfare state.
 The National Industrial Conference Board has sought to clarify the NRPB plan for average understanding. It points out that: "The government has always carried on economic activities. The inn rortant fact about this economic activity by government was that it was .. not v4alded as a single economic instrument

A Thought for Today
Who Won World War II?

reporter on a midwestern newspaper asked 30 men and women, interviewed essentially, at random, which United Nation has made the greatest contribu- ton toward winning this war. Two said Russia, one China and 27 the United States. Such question and the answers make an excellent feature, but the results of the poll prove only one thing, which is the willingness of almost everybody to express firm opinion on matters about which he knows very little To such a question there are at least six answers which can be argued with considerable logic - Britain, China, Russia or the United States, Germany by her errors, or our own favorite that the war hasn't been won yet, which is not really . quibble. We should not be in position to dream of winning the war, eventually, II the British Isles had not weathered the crisis that followed Dunkirk. England might not have survived but for the weapons and other aid we contributed But that aid would have been futile if the British had not used it with a courage and optimism unparalleled in military history
 The best we could hope for would be stalemate if Russia had not amazed the world by the bravery and skill of her bat tered armies, and by possession of ma terial resources of which none of us dreamed. But without British and Amer ican aid, Russia probably would not have been able to turn back the Nazi tide. Without American materiel or without British sea and military manpower, the victory of North Africa could not have been won nor, for that matter, would it nave been won if much of Hitler's strength had not been tied up in Russia
 It b utterly impossible to sort out the combined contribution of any one coun- lry and say that 1t was greatest Con- mon sense tells us that any one of these nAtaons produced a balance of power with put which at best we should have been forced to an indecisive armistice. And if Germany had invaded England immedi- Rtely after Dunkirk, or had refrained from attacking Russia, we should have lost one or other of those invaluable allies. Let's go ahead and win the war, and leave It to history to decide whether it matters greatly who made the greatest contri- bt1tion-

THOMAS S. SMITH

In the death of Thomas s. Smith, United States Collector of Internal Revenue for the District of Connec- ticut, this community loses a sym pathetically understanding official, a public-spirited citizen, and an abettor of good causes. For the past eight years he has been chairman of the Hartford County committee to raise funds for combating infantile paralysis, and his interest in that work was unf1agging That he thus helped materially to bring health and joy in living to many handi- capped children was no doubt his supreme satisfaction.
 This ending of From" Smiths career in his middle fifties will come as distinct blow to many different elements in Hartford, from the en- ployes in his large office to his own wide circle of warm personel friends. As Kipling wrote of his brother in- law. Wolcott Balestier:
 He had no need to doff his
 pride or slough the dross
 of earth.
 Even as he trod that day to God,
 so walked he from his birth
 In simpleness, and gentleness,
 and honor, and clean
 mirth."

(hulled and crushed oats or WheatD During the winter, how ever, it was reduced to 300 grams. In the spring the cut was partial ly restored, when the ration was moved up to $50 grams, recogniz- ing the necessity of more nourish- ment with the coming of the sea- son of greater military activity.

 Of the industrial and economic condition of post-victory America, the speaker made three interesting comments: first, that if we fall short of the goal of 55 to 57 million jobs and $l42 billion production, the re- sulting unemployment will be great; second, that free enterprise can and should provide high level of en- ployment and production after the war; third, that we here in New England will face a greater con- petition than ever before from other parts of the country.

read and write" Said the mission ary. T don't see how any Christian could say such a thing" And the mine owners reply was, T am not Christian; I am mine owner, and you are exploiting my market"
 Attitudes like this always end in catastrophe. It is terrible thing that multitudes of people can be degraded to the level of slaves. But those who think and act this way toward their fellows pile up tre- mendous amount of suffering for themselves and their descendants. Money gained in this fashion al- most always brings misery into households rather than blessing, and the person who exploits his fellows for personal gain is planting carge of dynamite under the social structure he wants to maintain. The day will come when he and his sys- tenn will be blown sky-high.

(New Haven Journal -Courier)
 Speaking before the quarterly meeting of the New England Coun- cl in Swampscott, Massachusetts, last Saturday, President Kendall of the Kendall Mills, Boston, stated that the 1940 output of American industry was $97 billion. At the present rate, the 1943 output will be $155 billion.
 After the war, continued Presi- dent Kendall, between 55 and 57 million people will be wanting jobs, and in normal working hours they will be able to produce $142 billion in goods and services.
 Of course, the 1943 output was in planes. powder and guns. The peacetime output will be made up of cars and refrigerators and new

l ies for the control of titanium com pounds used in paint, is just the first step in this campaign.
 Other cartels of similar character are now under investigation and further indictments may be expect ed from time to time. Assistant At | torney General Tom c. Clark, who succeeded Thurman Arnold as head of the Antitrust Division in the Department of Justice, has set up a special cartel division under Her bert A. Berman of Newark, N. J., with the purpose of serving notice on American business that their participation in postwar cartelS will be prosecuted under the Sherman antitrust law.
 HOW CARTELS
 HELPED GERMANS
 To many people, it may seem that all this is stratosphere stuff beyond their ken or interest, but 1t isn't so remote at that. AS Tom Clark points out, the effect of all these agreements is to put a tax on the things you buy, and to restrict the rights of U. S. companies not in the cartel from doing business on a freely competitive basis.
 What typical cartels did in the pre-war period was to give German companies trade monopolies in South American countries, freezing out American competition. The Germans were able to build up business contacts which were inval- uable to their fifth column activi- ties
 When the war brofe out, the Ger man companies turned over their patents to American corporations which were partners in the cartel, and made arrangements for these American companies to supply the German dealers in trade territories reserved to the Germans, U. s. com- panies paying the profits to the Ger mans.
 By assigning patents to U. S. car tel members, the German firms were able to escape having their patents seized by the alien property custodian and resold. At the end of the war it was therefore assumed that the German patent holders would be able to reacquire their pre-war rights and resume their place in world business.
 POSTWAR PROBLEM
 What this amounts to is that even though Germany were defeat- ed on the field of battle, 1t would never be defeated economically, for it's business contracts would be con- tinued during and after the war.
 The problem of controlling cartels in the postwar world is one that is now receiving attention by gov ernment thinkers. Nearly all Euro pean and the Japanese governments are now cartel-minded, favoring these monopolies. It Is believed, however. that no cartel could suc- ceed If it did not have the cooper ation of American business. That is, free American business, not re- stricted as to where and how 1t might compete, could break any foreign cartel combination.
 The only existing U. s. controls over cartels are the Sherman anti trust law and a new amendment to the reciprocal trade agreements act introduced by Congressman Charles s. Dewey of Chicago, which gives the President permissory power to cancel trade agreement if he finds that the operation of a cartel inter- fereS.
 A further step would be to require the registration with the Depart ment of State of all cartel agree ments entered into by American citizens or corporations. But that would demand additional new leg islation.

 LAMONT FOR LEW
 DOUGLAS
 Thomas w. Lamont, wealthy Morgan partner, received a call the other day from a Washington official who is a friend of Lew Douglas, War Shipping Adminis- trator. The talk turned to a re- cent report that Douglas was be- ing groomed for Vice President on the Republican ticket.
 "If you ask me-, said Lamont, "I think Lew should be a can- didate not for Vice President, but for President!"
 NO GERMAN SAUSAGE
 The diplomats grapevine reports that the German food supply is running low. A new cut has been made in the meat ration. This, coming at time when the great est muscle must be exerted in de- fense of the Vaterland, is expect ed to be a severe blow to German morale.
