Taxes Cannot Be Lowered

A highly esteemed Administrator in the Federal Government offers the public sugar-coated pill in the following seven words: Wartime taxation should end with the war" But, don't lose sight of the fact that there are billions of dollars piled up in the National debt, and no one is optimistic enough to think that the expense of public government after the war will be anywhere as low as it was in prewar years AS a matter of fact the normal expenditures of the Government after the war will be several times higher than ten years ago. Interest on the ac- cumulated debt alone will exceed total ln- ternal revenue receipts for 1887.
 According to Director Byrnes there are only few items of public expense that will be lowered. He expresses hope that there are certain tax revisionS possible which would not greatly reduce revenues, but which would materially aid business recovery and expansion if adopted imme- diately at the close of the European war So keep on saving your money for the tax collector because: "The goblins will get you if you don't watch out"

finishes his audit of loan agency books. Jesse wants to be on hand with the fire-hose in case trou- ble starts. He has advised tine directors of his subsidiary loan agencies not to resign :. .. So far all are taking Jesse's advice eX- cept Charley Henderson, the best director of all, who has now ten- dered his resignation. Vinson probably won't accept 1t .. Washington State Democrats are boiling over the White House in- vitation extended to Washington'S Republican ex-Governor Lang ley. Of all the Republican gov ernors who campaigned against Roosevelt last year, Langley was the most vitriolic. So last week he was invited to lunch.
 ECONOMIC CHAR FOR ITALY
 It isn't quite official yet, but Lauchlin Currie, hard-hitting economic secretary to the White House has been tentatively select cd as Allied economic czar of italy He will be vice-chairman of the Allied Control Commission.
 His appointment developed in peculiar way. The State De- partment had been complaining that the British wouldn't do more about the economic situa- ton in Italy, such as raising the food ration.
 Whereupon the British fired back with the remainder that a lot of positions on the Allied Commission for Italy, reserved for Americans, remained un- filled. The British suggested that Americans fill these jobs and thus be on the ground floor
 to do something about the economies of Italy.
 Most important thrilled job is that of vice. chbairnlan of the Allied Control Commission which handles economics. If the final OK goes through, Currie will now step into this spot. It will be hot one.

Speaking at meeting of the Connectl- cut Society of Civil Engineers in New Haven this week State Water Commls- sioner William S. Wise of Hartford point ed out that 600 of the 1,250 miles of the main stems of river channels in this state are polluted" About 100 of the 4,OOO miles of minor tributaries also re- ceive wastes that are dangerous to health and pollute the waters. It's surprising that before this the State of Connecticut has not taken it upon itself to aid finan- cially communities that are regarded as polluters of Water-courses. In most ln- Stances the work of correcting this evil has progressed slowly because of the Ire. mendous cost involved That's true of Waterbury, it must be true elsewhere.

Mandatory Action

It hasn't been stressed that actually the reason why the City of Waterbury IS asking the Legislature to authorize iSsu- ance of sewerage bonds is the need of complying with frequent requests of the State Water and Health Departments. For about twenty years Waterbury has been held up as classic example Of community that has not adopted modern means or methods of handling raw sew age. Our custom has been to dump 1t without treatment into the Naugatuck River.
 It isn't that Waterbury didn't recog nize that it might have some obligations in this matter It did many years ago and in the early days of this century act ually started work on sewage beds in South Waterbury along the banks of the Naugatuck river An adverse court de- cision, plus a few other happenings re- suited in abandonment of the project until the '20's when the state started to get after us again for polluting the stream
 In the sos the first section of trunk line sewer down the Naugatuck river was built. This will lead directly into the treatment plant that is now under design. Funds raised by the sale of bonds would defray the cost of this plant. It is high on the list of the city'S projects for the postwar period, but really will be launched when and if the city secured priorities for material and machinery. It will be day of triumph for both local and state officials when completed, for 1t will answer the problem of pollution throughout the entire Naugatuck Valley

The Texas and South Carolina Legis- latures have already passed reso- lutionS, While Senator Johnston of South Carolina and Rep. Jack son of Washington have intro Guced resolutions in the U. s. Congress urging that the G. '. Joe attend the San Francisco Con- ference as a starter to the final peace session. They propose that he be no higher than the rank of sergeant.
 NOTE: The Iowa poll, con- ducted by the Des Moines Sunday Register, found that an over- whelming majority of Iowanns, 83 ger cent, favored having 8 mem- Der of the armed forces at the peace table. Fifty-nine per cent of them also believed that while the younger men won the last war, it was lost by the older men at the peace conference.

THE OREGON RUSTS AWAY
(New York Herald -Tripune)


 The Oregon deserved better of fate. Like the old Constitution in the navy of sail, or the Hartford ill the Civil War, the Oregon Is a symbol of the naval war against Spain. Her dramatic voyage from San Francisco around Cape Horn to join the Atlantic Fleet in action against Cervera's squadron was her first bid for fame = aside from the fact that she was the first bat tieship ever constructed on the Pa cific coast. The trip took 81 days and was full of potential peril; it aroused the country as it had never been aroused before to the danger ous situation of trying to guard two coasts some 17,000 sea miles apart and thus played an important role in producing the Panama Canal.
 The Oregon also participated ac- lively in the battle off Santiago, which virtually endde the Spanish American War, steaming into the lead in the pursuit of the Spanish ships, preventing the escape of the Vizcaya and the Cristobal Colon, and winning well done" from the flagship. The Oregon later went to Asiatic waters, in connec-
 tion with the Philippine insurrectior

For one of the infallible rules of life is that what we enjoy easily we do not en- joy deeply. What comes easily goes easily. Thrills come without much effort, but they last only moment and are often followed by unpleas- ant reactions. The deep joys of life are born amid much travail. They cost something in renuncia- ton and effort, and therefore their reward is great.

It will be interesting to note how Hart ford withstands the threats of floods Tn the Connecticut River this month. Recent warm weather has resulted in an ava lanche of run-off water from the upper end of the river. Snow and ice nave melted rapidly and naturally smaller tributaries have been swollen. Rams, such as we have been experiencing the last few days, will add to the flood danger. But Hartford believes that it has taken precautions which will prevent repetl- tion of what happened ten years ago.

A SOCIAL ASSET
(Hartford TimeS)

tHarG1OTQ 1lneS)
 While social and welfare organi- cations of Hartford have been at variance If not at odds as to the manner in which improvement in living and social conditions in the Negro community is to be obtained the late Bishop McAuliffe of Hart. ford Diocese was quietly doing some- thing about the situation. This en- visaged the establishment of re- ligious and cultural center in the North End, designed to fill a much discussed need.
 The Center of St. Benedict the Moor, which is now about to be opened, should prove a most valu- able asset. It is to be directed by the Rev. John J. Loughlin, and it will provide facilities which are greatly needed in the area which might be roughly described as the lower North End, where the Inde- pendent Social Center operates. The inter-racial group recently created intends to function further north.
 St. Benedict the Moor utilizes former double tenement building sit- uated in Main street opposite Capen. Adjoining it is large piece of va cant land 234 feet by 345 feet which will give ample space for play ground facilities which are vitally needed. The city will cooperate in supplying equipment and recrea- tional leaders. The building will provide an auditorium, reading room, and other facilities for social life, recreation and instruction, as well as for religious services and ac- tivities.
 The opening of this center repre- sents practical attack upon one of Hartford's most serious and most pressing problems Highly beneficial results are to be expected from it. The late Bishop McAulif1e showed sound understanding and a high sense of social responsibility in plan- ming it. The effective carrying out of the plans is to be taken for granted.

All sorts of propaganda is read in the press today or hear in the radio broad casts Any time a racket is uncovered and violators are revealed there's talk of running such information alongside of casualty lists If this is ever done, don't overlook the fact that alongside such lists might also be placed our current gripes over the food situation. It's bad; maybe it will get worse. But why not chalk It up to the war effort-an individual con- tribution.

and was flagship of the Pacific Fleet during World War I. Her rec ord justified the decision to pre- serve her; demilitarized, she was retained in Portland, Ore, as hiS- toric monument.
 When World War II came t0 America, it was announced that the Oregon would be needed-fol scrap, it was assumed. But the Oregon was not scrapped; she was sent out to the far Pacific to be- come an improvised breakwater. This plan was deemed impractica- ble, and the old ship lies amid coral reefs at an unnamed island, use. less and forlorn. One can only hope that in time she will be res. cued and fulfill her earlier destiny. After all, this, her first failure was in no sense her fault.

Even when the late Wendell Willkie addressed this group two years ago, there were frequent excursions to the hotel bar.
 Halifax came to the Hotel Con- tinental to tell the "78.s9 Club (1st and 2nd :erm COP Congress- mem about the British Parlia- ment. And the Congressmen sat engrossed as this representative of the British aristocracy and for mer Viceroy of India told them that England has more of de- mocracy than the United States. What made him popular with the Republican congreSSmen was his detailed explanation of the re- lations between the executive de- partments of the British govern ment and the Parliament.
 "In England" Lord Halifax said, "the executive departments cannot bypass the Parliament
 which means that they cannot bypass the people,"
 Halifax did not need to add that in Washington the White House frequently by-passes Con- greSs.
 He then told them that If Parliament decides on Friday that it no longer cares for the Prime Minister, he can be voted out on Monday"
 Again, Halifax hardly had to remind the Republicans that our President is elected for a four year term, that Congress cannot vote him out without impeaching him, and that the present incum- bent, though sometimes vigorously rebuffed in Congress, has re- mained in office 12 years.
 Actually, of course, British Cabi- net Ministers are not required by law to appear for questioning by the Parliament, nor is the Prime Minister required by law to re- sign in the face of no-confi- dence vote, but the custom is so strong that it is unlikely it would ever be ignored.
 Lord Halifax discovered early in the evening that he had hit upon a subject which would be good listening and the ambaSsa- dor stayed on the topic, to the approval of his listeners.
 To a question about the King Of England and his status in the ideal democracy he was describ- ing, Lord Halifax replied:
 You American can buy some bunting for a few cents.
 You make a flag of 1t, and then
 you die for that flag. We take
 a man and call him a king and we die for him. But he has nothing to do with legislation
 of the actual administration of
 our Government. He makes speeches, ard we all pledge our
 selves to him. But our Govern
 ment is not in his hands,"
 Halifax had given his listeners such an intriguing peek at a situation where Congress could vote a Cabinet out of existence that all the questioning by his listeners Cealt with this subject and he didn't have to answer a single embarrassing question about British foreign policy.
 G. I. JOE AT PEACE TABLE
 More and more State Legisla- lures and Members of Congress are urging that a G. I. Joe sit at the peace table; also that he be- gin by sitting in at the important San Francisco United Nations Conference. Some further pro- pose that Sumner Welles, former Undersecretary of State and the man who originally planned for the peace machinery, attend the San Francisco Conference, per haps as adviser to the soldier delegate or as unbiased observer with no axe to grind either for or against any one political party.
 The Maryland and Rhode Island Legislatures are the latest to push the idea of a G. I. Joe at the

ing the challenge of life and per- forming its commonplace duties, we can be sure that plenty of real satisfactions and much happiness will come to us in natural sequence. We may complain about our daily lot, but true happiness is often born in the turmoil of distress. The things that give us real satisfactoin are the things we have to work for. The people who give us real joy are often the ones for whom we have to sacrifice much.

Selected Poem
NOTHING HAPPENED TODAY

Anne Zukor in The Christian Science Monitor Nothing happened pleasant day. Grain shoots greened the land, To a fresh wind blowing. The HolStein calf
 Drank from pail for the first time Without upsetting half the milk, And Biddy matched that clutch of duck eggs I changed for hers last cold spell When found her hidden nest Beneath a current bush. Nothing happened today. White crocus bells Were blown by the wind
 Grass grew, sap flowed in trees, Clouds moved,
 Sun ShOne.
