Polish Mission to Moscow

The mission to Moscow of Polish Pre- mler MikolaJczyk can be motivated only by the hope of compromise settlement of the long and bitter Polish Russian dispute. The eXiled Polish government in London is in no position to demand. + can only ask, and hope that Premier Stalin will see fit to give it a place, along with the Russian-supported Polish Com mittee of National Liberation, in the new government of Poland. It would be to Premier Stalins advantage to do this. To ignore the prewar Polish government un- doubtedly would alienate the sympathy of many Poles, including members of the Underground Army, whose support would be of great help in the present fighting. It would also be contradiction of the avowed self-determination subscribed to by the United Nations The Polish gov ernment in exile is coalition of the So- clalist, Peasant, Christian Labor and Ma tional Democrat parties which existed before the German invasion. Commun- ists were excluded from the prewar gov- ernment, which certainly cOmplicates the presnt situation. But for Russia now to impose a government distasteful to the majority of Poles would not offer much hope for future peace
 
 viously will not consider the eXiled goV- ernment's desire to create a Poland which can play off Germany against Rus sia, as 1t tried to do in the past. The actual attempts to do that seldom worked to anyone's advantage, least of all, Po- lands. For years the Poles were under the domination of Russia or Germany, when they were not actually being ruled by one or the other country. So the Rus sian solution may be best for Poland.
 Mir Stalin wants no buffer state" next to him, His evident goal is close cooper ati0n of the Slavic countries, aimed at suppresslng any growth of German power and aggFesslVeness, This ought to meet with the approval of everybody ex' cept the Germans, Even the Polish gov ernment that has opposed MT. Stalin's plans shouldn't object on that score,
 Whether the Russian premier wants to s0Vletize Poland remains to be seen, 4 fair guess might be that he does not. For one thing, the Comintern is officially abolished, though it might be revived. For another, Russia is going to be faced with a tremendous postwar task of re- building and readjustment. Mr. Stalin won't court trouble. Most important, Russia has no apparent need to annex more territory. Vast lands and vast re. sources lie to the east. We are always being told that Russia's future is in Asia, and that is undoubtedly true. But Rus. sla doesn't want to be locked out of Europe, either. Close ties with Slavic and Balkan neighbors would keep the door open. And the prodlgious triumphs Of the Red Army are daily strengthening Premier sfalin's ability to demand what he wants.

The Peoples Party

Following the conclusion of today'S Democratic state convention in Hartford some demonstration of good faith to the Democratic voters of the state will be necessary on the part of party leaders to offset the distorting effects of the bitter inter-party fight that has been waged for the many weeks down through and into the convention hall.
 This fight has been one for retention of party power by various leaders and their factions It has been a battle of political necessity born of beliefs held by the individual leaders that they are the ones best qualified to conduct the party'S affairs and to choose the candi- dates who will carry the Democratic pen nants onto the election fileds, this fall.
 Yet the average voter, to whom politics is a bewildering, swirling mass of con- fusion, at best, cannot be blamed if he is unable to see the forest for the trees in this instance, the forest being a strong Democratic party in Connecticut, and the trees being the fight for party power now being waged.
 So bitter and so vigorously contested has been the fight for power being fought within the party that this year that more than in many years past the aver age voter has been exposed to the sight of political skirmishings which ordinarily are conducted behind closed doors.
 A strong, solid party must emerge from this convention today.
 A convention of this sort is a contest held for the sake of the Democratic voters of Connecticut, at their expense, and not for the personal prestige of few.
 Those who fight for and attain that prestige are entitled to it, as such, but their responsibilities, as result, are just beginning. The fight is and should be for the people and their party. We trust that some tangible assurance of the awareness of this fact will be forthcoming soon from those who emerge victorious.

Peaeetime Prsview

A nation that has grown great, not through war but through the accom- plishments of peacetime, America is very busily engaged just now in making sure 1t will be allowed to continue along that road. It has been forced into war to gain that assurance and, with nearly three years of war behind, its citizens may at times forget a little of the shape of peacetime circumstances.
 What was the nations work before is quite likely to be in the same general form again. For purposes of recollection General Motors Corporation calls atten- tion of it's employees to the work dis tribution for American men and women in the period from 1886 to 1940. It has offered this charting in the current issue of GM Folks, monthly publication for all its employees.
 While the United States is known as an industrial nation of capacities beyond that of any other in the world, only 24 per cent of it's workers were employed at making things in factories over the l936-1940 period. An equally large per- centage were occupied by agriculture, including forestry and fishing. The re- maining half, roughly some S,000000, divided their efforts in mining, conStruc- ton, transportation, working for utili- ties, in trade, distribution and finance, in government, and in supplying profes- Sional, personal and miscellaneous serv- ices, including amusement and recrea- tion.
 The present war situation, it should be remembered, is not normal in America. It is likely that the return of peace will bring again some work division in the same general ratios as in the five-year prewar period. The people in those varied occupations formed great peace time "team" and when this team" is reformed after the war is won it will con- tinue to make our country the most desirable place in the world to live.

Russia and China-In and Out

After the forthcoming Conference on World Security to be held in Washington an effort will be made by the United Nations to set up permanent organiza- tion, with Council of few powers and an Assembly of all nations.
 The United States, Great Britain and Russia will lead the main procession. But Russia always makes it clear that it isn't affiliated with China in this war; so when it comes time for Russia to drop out, China will drop in. The Conference will accupy its time in conversations and exchanges of views on the general sub- ject of an International Security and permanent organization.
 The League of Nations was gradually brought into the International picture in the first World War in about the same way. If our Government has learned its lesson from experience, it will form its permanent organization on the basis of enforcing peace, rather than putting up a miracle house of peace for "conversa- tional purposes"

 Committee members had in mind the stand taken by their colleagues in 1922 when Teddy Rooseyelt's former Secretary of the Navy. Truman Newberry. who had been elected to tine Senate from Michigan, was refused a seat because he spent around elOO, 900.

THE WIDOW Po.KO.MoO

Your little brochure "Unbidden Guests" is just about the most use" ful thing of the kind - we have found many effective helps in ie for ridding the house of cock reaches, ants and fieas. But there Is one pest, a dangerous one, you failed to deal with = the black widow spider.
 CNrs. W. MO Po-ko-naoo is one name Cunknown origin) for the spider otherwise known as black widow, hourglass spider. shoe-button spider. T-dot spider, or, scienttfical- ly, Latrodectus nactans.
 Distinguishing feature of this spider, whose bite produces painful but rarely fatal poisoning, Is the brilliant red or yellow hourglass~ shaped patch on the belly Of the otherwise shiny black spider.
 An hour or two after a person has been bitten by a black widow nau- sea, profuse sweating and severe cramps in the belly and in arms and legs begin. At the same time there is a feeling of constriction of the throat and spasm of masseter mus cles similar to that of lockjaw (te- tanus) so that the victim can speak only with difflculty. Skin becomes hot and moist, blood pressure rises, some fever occurs. there is in- creased breathing rate and the vic- tim becomes extremely restless and thrashes about screaming with pain. The belly becomes rigid as a board but not tender to pressure. Blood count shows leucocytoSis of 25 900 or more dncrease in number of white corpuscles above the 5000 or so per cubic millimeter In nor- maj blood.
 So there you are. Now what to do? First a shot of morphine with atropine. to relieve or at least nlod- crate the pain, spasm and shock or anxiety. Then intravenous calcium chloride solution injection into 8 vein. Effect of this is dramatic within ten minutes or less the pa- tient experiences almost complete relief. Of course only a physician can inject this into a vein. In bhtc doSClCc OA utCAASdA CdbC any body can give the victim of black widow bite calcium chloride by mouth - fifteen grains given dis lsolved in half a glassful of water sweetened with sugar or syrup. or better, IS grains of eluconate (which is more agreeable to the stomaehD similarly dissolved in sweetened water and repeat this dose every four hours for day or two. or immediately if cramps and paiu return.
