outcome of those recommendations.
The second section of the report
gives complete resume of the more
important highlights of the session.
Effective Effort
The full text of Mr.. Fuller's intro
duction to the final report follows:
Presented herewith is the final
report of the action taken by the
Connecticut General Assembly Of
1913. 1t is a record of accomplish
ments and failures. and of diSap-
pointments, depending on interests
affected.
Il have reviewed with some dill
gence Connecticut's legislative his
tory for the past twenty years, but
l need not confess that l am not a
competent judge. However, when we
consider that the 1943 session con-
vened during the most destructive
war and the greatest economic up
heaVal in all history, we must con-
cede that the accomplishments, may
they seem great or small at present,
are likely to magnify themselves in
the future
Viewed in this light, the 1913
session provided proper basis for
the conduct of an effective war eff
fort. That was the intent as well
as the earnest desire of the COVER
nor, the members of the legislature,
and of all state officials.
ITO deny this fact would be to
question the motives of the men and
women, in Connecticut whom we
the people, have elected as our
leaders in state government. have
real confidence that this view is
shared by the other officers, the
directors of our association, the
members of our legislative organiza-
tions in each of the 1863 towns OF
the state, and by the membership
at large. 1t is they who applaud the
courage displayed and the fidelity
to difficult tasks which state officials
and members of the General As

this point. Mr.. Lyman, Sr., as we
remember, was fine built man,
heavy, strong as an OK, and well
groomed. Friendly and pleasant,
naturally, he was highly thought
of and much respected by his
neighbors, and associates of the
factory which employed him. And
the same was true Of his two sons,
Jack and Tom; Jack died some
time ago; Tom and Elizabeth are
now the only ones living of
large and much thought of fam
lily.
Isn't it strange what TIME &C
tually does to all of us; we are
here today, feeling good, happy at
being well and living our lives just
as we wish to do; then suddenly,
we are stricken, the health of yes
terday has been attacked, we are
fiat on our back, and then
DEATH sneaks in through the
back door and ends it all.
That is just what happened to
Mrs. Driver; she had been about
as usual, meeting the many new
and dear friends she made during
her residence in Little Prospect,
and becoming active in the affairs
of the new Catholic church in that
town, and also in promoting some
of the interests of the Democratic
party among the residents. She
devoted much of her spare time in
these activities; she knew Pros
pect from girlhood days, and she
knew it when the only Catholic
families within the boundaries
were the Murphys and the McDer-
motts. But she lived to see the
number increased to such an eX-
tent that a church was built, and
lately pastor installed.
Mrs. Driver was a kindly per-
son, willing and faithful worker,
quit and moderate in CONVERSE
ton, careful and diligent in what
ever task she was called upon to
perform, and most reliable in any
and all undertakings.
We went to the funeral home,
where we had a right to go; in
order to pay tribute to another
Out Easter, and there to meet
others of the Out East of Yester-
day and a few of those out here
today.
Soon, none of us will be around.
Poor Old Out East!
Death seems to have us by The
throat.

jap AIR INFERIORITY

(Riverside Press)
One of the most reassuring things
about the war is the japanese airplane
situation. Every American who follows
the war news closely must have been i'm
pressed by the obvious superiority Of
American aviation over the japanese,
superiority which is growing steadily.
1t is clear by this time that this supe-
riority is of both men and planes. Around
the Solomon Islands and New Guinea,
where most of the Pacific fighting has
been done, the Japs at first seemed to be
as strong as our men in the air. lhey
bad many good planes and good flyers al
though in neither of these respects were
they quite up to American standards.
But as the war proceeded, and flyers and
planes were whitfield down and swept
out of the sky the situation changed
greatly.
Major George Fielding Eliot presents
figures to show that the japanese have
already lost most of their good pilots,
and likewise most of their fighting
planes, and that their rate of production
is not great enough to restore their for
rcr air power.
SO it comes about that. with the rapid
~ rising American air power the Japa-
ncse IRE rapidly being driven from the
air. This verdict seems to be supported
by the steadily growing ease with which
American fighters drive the Japs out Of
the sky. And unless the latter have un-
expected reserves of air power stored for
the big showdown, they should be rather
easily swept aside when the drive on To-
kyo really begins.
However, it's better we be not too OPP
timistic.

Editorials and Comment
COP SENATORS WILL
TRY ISOLATION AGAIN
(Oroville Mercury-Register)

(OroNllle Mercury-keglSter)
One would think that after the record
the iSolationiStS made following World
War they would try to run things after
the current war has ended, but there are
indications that they are getting ready
TO try to do just that.
We refer particularly to the isolation
lists in the United states Senate, typified
by our own Hiram johnson.
They took charge after the other war
and prevented participation by the Unit
ed States in post war controls. So 1t was
that the controls proved ineffective. Brit
ain and France weren't big enough
against Germany, Italy and Japan. The
balance of power went towards banditry.
Now it seems to us that the next time
there should be an overwhelming senti-
ment in the United States in favor OF a
strong hand by the United States after
this war. We should be prepared to see
to it that treaties and regulations impos-
ed upon the vanquished countries are OBJ
served Otherwise another war will have
been fought in vain.
We have found out conclusively that
we can't avoid a world war, once it starts,
so it will be best to try to MAINTAIN suttl-
Gent control so that there won't be one.
Our danger lies in the Senate. Our
Senate must ratify treaties. That body
is the stronghold of isolationisn, with
its Johnsons, its Wheelers, its Tafts,
Nyes and Clarks. In a recent test they
were able to muster 20 votes. This en-
couraged them They know that after
the war there will be a resurgence of the
back to normalcy' sentiment.
The big battle will come within the
Republican party, where Willkie is the
leader of the intervention forces. If
that party fails to overthrow isolation
list control it will have another bloody
blot on its conscience. If it throws out
the ENLIGHTENED leadership of men like
Willkie it will lose its right to the sup
port of the American people.

DECIDE EACH ISSUE
on ITS MERITS

If congress Is to live up TO Whal the
people expect of it, as a revltallzed,
again powerful branch of the govern
ment. individual congressman must de-
eide their votes on the issues at stake
not on partisan lines. They must forget
whether a bill has administration back
ing. or Republican backing, and vote tor
or against it simply because it is good
or bad bill.
Congress should be warned Of one
thing.
The people will not tolerate sniping at
President Roosevelt, nor at the rest OF
the administration. Just for the sake of
political snipng. Nor will they tolerate
administration iibes at congress when a
political motive is apparent. The people
want both sides TO forget politics-and
the one which most nearly approaches
selfleSs service will be the most popular.
PerhapT the one warning the politicians
will heed is one along their own line OF
thought
The fellow who abandons politics now
is the one who will be most popular IN
1914
Abandoning politics does not mean
declaring "A moratorium on disagreement.
The only way 10 reach wise decision
on any issue is 10 discuss it. hear the other
fellows side of il, and decide according
to the weight of evidence II would not he
forgetting politics TO say yes to every
request of the administration. nor would
it be forgetting politics for the admins
tration TO stop voicing its desires.
Both sides should be heard. and then

DON'T LET 1914
DRAW 100 CLOSE

They're calling the new congress 4
curtain raiser for the elections of l944,
when President Roosevelt will either seek
a fourth term or attempt to win the pres
ideney for one of his followers.
n b. not good that congress should
approach is lob with politics IN the fore
front Of is collective mind.
There are twin objectlves for the whole
United States today-winning the war
and safeguarding internal economy to
the purpose Of setting up safe post
war program.
Congress would do far better to forget
everything except those detectives. That
h. the ideal Perhaps it is impossible
and through no fault of the congress. Yet
ID should be approached as nearly as
possible
Looking at it factually, we might as
well admit that there will be politics IN
the new congress. Every congressman
could forswear politics. and yet politics
would b forced upon the legislative
branch. There are hundreds of thousands
of bureaucrats. administrative appoint
ees and other termites who would make
sure that political maneuvering took
place They want to hold their jobs, they
want TO put over their pet theories, they
want 10 make sure that their own champ
ions retain office. They cannot be eX
pected 10 forget it-although they should
ii they were the idealists many pretend
10 be-
From the level-headed viewpoint, then,
considering the frailties of human nature,
the best we can demand of congress at
this point is to adopt defensive attl-
tude against politics, rather than an
aggressive political policy. In other
words. we would like to see congress alert
against the intrusion of politics. rather
than seeking opportunities to make poll
teal capital
