trips. Nor Is 1t q convenient meth- cd of travel for trucks. This fact is proved by the scanty use made of 1t since the governor, as an emer- gency, threw 1t open to truck traf- fic.
 The main point about the park way is that it was planned as a pas senger highway for the specific pur- pose of getting passenger cars off the Post road. From a traffic view point 1t has kept our head above water and that is all.
 Under normal conditions the traf- fic on the parkway is just about equal to the growth of traffic from the time when parkway construc- tion was begun, to the present date. It has taken care of this surplus which would have been intolerable on the Post road but it hasn't talk en care of commercial and local traffic for the reason stated. It is too far out of the way.
 The governors suggestion to MT. Cox's that other alternatives be pursued will undoubtedly be follow ed by the highway commissioner. But we think he is right in calling attention, without further waste of time. to the fact that the parkway scheme doesn't fit through-way pur- poses.

velopment, and that if we do not provide the equipment and machinery for the pur- pose. the British and Russians will. Just as all British interests concerned with China have organized China Council for efficient, effective action, SO all Amer ican industries that plan to do business with China have set up the China-Amer- ica Council of Commerce and Industry.
 This China-America Council is a very important factor in assuring postwar jobs, It will make certain that in the postwar period the United States shall play the leading part in the development of new strong industrialized China, just as the picturesque clipper ships helped build the commerce of the treaty ports a hundred years ago. And hundreds of thousands of additional jobs will be pro- vided for Americans in the process.

TOURISTS AND SOLDIERS
(New Haven Journal-Courier)


 Florida tourists and German sol- diers hit the same news columns day or so ago, and the stories, though unrelated, underline the same truism: namely, that people behave pretty much as they are trained to behave. To those folks who are wondering what kind of world we'll be able to make for ourselves after the war, the stories suggest that difficult as human na- ture is, great deal can be done with the right kind of training and education. Here are the stories.
 Item NoY l: Florida tourists have become so accustomed to luxury ac- commodations on the railroads that they are declining less elegant transportation back to their homes. Both the Seaboard Railway and the Atlantic Coast line put on day. coach trains, one running on each line daily. However, they have been so poorly .patronized that one has been discontinued and the other will be taken of soon. Meanwhile the demand for Pullman space and de luxe accommodations continues as brisk as ever, with trains book ed solidly 30 days in advance.
 Item No. 2: General Montgomery of the British Eighth Army related recently that the German troops he met in Italy are of two tempera- ments. The older Germans are cor rect, even conSiderate opponents. Tn the Mareth Line battle, German stretcher bearers dashed into the f1ghting zone to pick up British wounded as well as their own. Ger man burial parties never neglected to leave a British soldiers pay book in his helmet surrounding his grave. These Germans attained their men, tai maturity before the Nazi regime came to power.
 The younger Germans, on the other hand, are thoroughly nasty fellows, according to the General They reveal all the characteristics of the Nazi training received in their boyhood and adoleScent years.

The Old Shell Game

The more we observe Soviet diplomacy, the less we envy such publications as the Daily Worker and the New Masses, both trying desperately to hang onto the American end of the party line. The lat est case in point was recognition by the U.S.S.R. of the Badoglio government when these two American Communist organs had just finished polishing off Badoglo and Mr. Churchill in language bitter and uncompromising.

PARKWAY NOT SUITABLE
Bridgeport Post)

Highway Commissioner William J. Cox. replying to Governor Bald wins suggestion that he study the possibility of enlarging the Merritt parkway before he proceeds with further planning of the through way" in Fairfield county has put his finger on the defect in the park way alternative.
 The parkway idea was suggested almost immediately when the through first came into dis cussion. Why not enlarge the park way?
 The simple answer is that for the particular purpose for which thC through-way is planned, the park way will not do. It is too far re. moved from the centers of popula- tion where the through-way traffic originates and where 1t Is destined The best answer to the parkway argument is the fact that if thS parkway had served this purposI the through-way would never have been discussed at all.

THE SOYBEAN UNMASKED

Strutting across the boards for several years now as the fair-haired hero of the farm-lands, the soy- bean has at last been unmasked as a creature with a double life; with the one hand he provides copiouS nutrition for man, and with the other he robs the soil, despoils the land, and leaves sterile those places he has inhabited. Sold to the farmer as a medium by means of which the soil could be built up." the soybean is in reality causing enormous destruction to the land through erosion and depletion of vital plant food elements.
 Farmers are now being warned to plant soybeans only on flat land in order to avoid erosion. They are also being warned that the belief in the soybean as an enricher of the soil is wholly erroneous. Great damage has already been done, however. Millions of acres in the Middle West have been set back ten years because of this mistaken assumption. Old standbys, clover and alfalfa, are coming back into

 It matters little how large a business a dealer has, nor how gull lible some of his customers, he IS not qualified to select, prescribe or fit a truss without medical super vision. This hard boiled merchant doesn't tell me to shut my trap or else, but he closes his letter thus:
 We would enjoy reading at

 Referring to hernia (rupture. breach). physicians who are out- standing in the modern treatment of hernia (ambulant or office treat ment by injection) emphasize the importance of the selection and flt- ting of truss, and of careful in- spection and adjustment of tho truss at each seance, as essential for cure.
 If any one asks mo, and some one does now and then. I say the selec- tion, fitting and wearing of truss, brace, splint or support or appli- ance of any kind should be left to the judgment, skill and responsi- bility of the physician in every in- stance.
