FREE ELECTION FERVOR

The inSi>tence of democratic peoples
that other nations hold free elections
would be more reasonable if there was as
surance that the people in other countries
would intelhgently participate in such bal
lOting .s,g..-a-s
The fact of the matter. which is often
overlooked. is that the process of democ-
racy, or the self-government of people. re
quires time and training. Even IN the Unit
ed States, there are millions of Americans
without any intelligent conception of the
part they should play if our government is
to be efficient and effective.
Let Us assume, for example, that the
sultan of some backward region would sud
denly become converted to the virtues of
democracy and order a free election" The
natives would have no conception of their
privilege and the chances are that the
free election would develop into a farce
of the first magnitude.

Postwar Customers

Fears that may have been entertained concerning lack of customers for the nations peacetime products may be dis missed as unfounded. No sooner was postal communication resumed with lib- erated nations than inquiries began to pour in.
 Most of these are directed to the for eign trade bureau of the Commerce and Industry Association of New York. The association, in operation more than thirty years, is composed of 4,000 Ameri- can firms, including large and small manufacturers, as well as importers and exporters
 Inquiries are so diversified as to origin as to suggest the entire world expects to trade with the United States as soon as it is possible to do so. Liberated na- tions of Europe are clamoring for Amer ican manufacturers. Islands in distant seas are represented The Fijis, for in- stance, have sent list of more than 100 articles, including perfumes, which they would like to obtain from this country.
 It is significant that practically all in- quiries are for goods which must come from American factories, fact which is giving industry high hopes for pro- longed peacetime production at high levels. With each day there is accelera- ton of reconversion activities, with the object not only of supplying clamoring markets at home, but equally important, calculated to insure at least major part of the millions of jobs needed to keep the economic life of the nation on an even keel

1945 General Assembly

It is simple to be an armchair leglS- latiye strategiSt and heap 'cenSure upon the efforts of the 1945 Legislature. It would be equally as simple to close ones eyes to the failures of the session and III the last analysis, determine it to have been reasonably successful. That 1t was a political session is admitted by all.
 We witnessed passage of labor rela- tion act, teachers equalization bill, ana other similarly progressive measures put in final judgment we must add that thelr passage was supported by the temper o1 the public and the times. Conditions and circumstances of the past few years had made ripe the moment for these bills to become law.
 On the other side of the ledger there was the failure to agree upon the minor court patronage which has cast an onus upon that system which won't be re- moved for sometime. It was case of patronage being given predomnance over good and necessary legislation, as party leaders deliberately blocked legls- lative action on many bills until they were given satisfaction on the patronage distribution. While this is hardly any thing new it was overdone in most ln- stances in Hartford, this session.
 Yet, in this brief analysis we must not overlook the sincerity of those legislators who made every conscientious effort to assure good legislation benefitting the people of the state. They were many, these men and Women and their task was doubly difficult in face of the on- saaught of party dealings on, personal measures.
 Lack of cohesifed leadership was ap- parently the fault of most of the pro- crastinating and sluggish attitude of the General Assembly, this year It was a session when confusion was rampant be- cause no one was present who was per sonally or politically strong enough, to put the pieces together and frame con- Structive program.
 We regret to think that two years from now the history of this session will be SO faded in the memories of most that the criticisms of the States citizens will have little bearing on the attitude of the body presiding in that session. But we are afraid that will be the case unless spirited leadership prevails and constructive et- fort is made to foster legislation for the people, first.

"Coddling" Vindicated

Our so-called "coddling" of German war prisoners has saved the lives of many American prisoners in Germany, the h. ternational Red Cross reveals.
 A Swiss Red Cross official has stated that when Hitler ordered the execution of American and British aviators last March, his officers disobeyed him be- cause they knew that both Allied coun- tries had lived up to the Geneva conven- tion covering treatment of prisoners of war Thus 99 per cent of American prisoners survived Hitlers intended ven- geance.
 This does not condone the Germans unspeakable treatment of political, as distinct from military, prisoners. There was no Geneva Convention for Dachau and Buchenwald and Maidanek. But it does vindicate the humane treatment Of prisoners, in accordance with an honor able pledge, which apparently appealed to the remaining vestige of decency in the German army.

Farewell to the Cabin

Having log cabin for birthplace used to be considered quite political asset to any American office-Seeker Those who first viewed the world from such humble surroundings usually men, toned the fact that in the course of their campaigning. But the implied praise was for the office-seeker, of course, and not for the log cabin. The point was that anyone who started life in q cabin started from several yards behind scratch. His advancement was shining proof of the opportunities which Ameri- can democracy offered. But though the campaigning politician may have re- called the scenes of his childhood with tear-choked emotion, he didn't go so far as to recommend the log dwelling as an ideal, year-round residence. The present generation of politicians has few log cabins in it's background. But the cabins are still with us, along with one-room farm ShackS that are as bad or worse And the reason that we don't recruit our Presidents and legislators and other lead CTS from these surroundings any more is that the odds today as just too great.
 Rural SlumS" is what housing experts call such farm dwellings. And though it may seem odd to think of Abraham Lincoln as having come from the slumS, that's just what they are today. Con- greSs is shortly to be asked to do some thing about them. A plan, framed by congressman and housing authorities, would allow the Department of Agricul- ture to buy up submarginal farm dwell lings, replace them with modern houses, ard lease them at low rents to tenants and share-croppers anxious and appar- ently able to be their own bosses There's more to the plan, of course, but that is the essential idea It is a good and nec- sssary plan, and we hope that it won't be baked by big-city congressmen who might believe, along with their constitu- snts, that only big cities have slums and hat the country life is necessarily the healthy life.
 Fresh air is wonderful but not when it sweeps in wintry blasts through the chinkS in walls and under cellarless floors. Fresh milk and garden vegetables in abundance are wonderful, but thous- ands of farm families don't have them.
 The log cabin has ceased to be sym

The Hartford Courant comments edi- torially on the "big dogs running at large" in the Hartford area. That situa- ton is more or less prevalent here. In certain sections large dogs seem to be on the loose. They wander about day and night, and during the late hours of the night very often annoy neighborhoods by continuous barking. Owners have a spe- cial responsibility when they own dogs. They likewise have responsibility with their children, or should have, not that we wish to make any comparisons be- tween dogs and children It is, however, a bit ludicrous when children go through neighborhoods armed with pails and bas- kets and trespass on private property to pick a miserable amount of fruit from a cherry tree or two. These same chil- dren are quite surprised when it is sug- gested to them that they should at least ask permission. All of which seems to bring us right back to that question of juvenile and adult delinquency.

TANK CARS GO WEST
(NeX York Sum-

Railroad tank cars are moving west to help supply our forces in the Pacific, and the momevemtn is reflected in the latest figure for oil shipments by rail to the Atlantic seaboard. In the week ended on May 27 these shipments averaged 505. 900 barrels a day, 30 per cent below the level of a year ago. In the same period the number of tank cars in. the West Coast service had risen from 5,700 to 12,4O0 and oil shipments by tank car to the West Coast had risen by more than 200 per cent. Civilian drivers with "A" coupons will get 50 per cent more gasoline in the period beginning on June g, but this already announced increase is tempered by the cau- tionary word that this is probably the best that can be expected for some time to come. The westward migration of the tank cars that did such a yeoman job of supplying the East with oil when it became impossible for tankers to continue their peacetime role is another hint for civilian owners of automobiles.

 Defendants further feel that with a new Administrat ton coming into that high office. there Is now a reasonable expectancy that during the next several months a reinvestigation by the Justice Department of the whole Burton affair can be applied for and ob- tanned
 In other words, the boys at the feed trough expect a lot from Tom Clark.
 The above is just one illuStra- ton of the terrific pressure sure to be exterted on the young new atotrney general by friends and he has plenty of them.
 However, in the opinion of this observer, who has watched Clark closeup and carefully during a period of years, the friends" are going to be bitterly disappointed. Somewhat like Harry Truman, from whom nobody expected much, Tom Clark has real ability to ac- cept heavy responsibility when it comes, and handle it with hon. esty, forthrightness and vision. That is what Washington has needed recently more diverslfl- cation of responsibility and more hIlil6inp nm Of neW men
 On the day Clark's appointment was announced, Bob Hannegan phoned to congratulate him.
 Now that you've heard the good news" he said, II want to tell you nowt hat if ever ask you to settle case, you are to tell me No. And you can remind me of what I said today if I forget what said latre.
 T want you to build up the toughest administration in the Justice Department this town has ever seen. Truman has got to have it. the Democratic party has got to have it, and you're going to do it."
 Hannegan meant what he said And, though Francis Riddle, a great attorney general, will be missed in Washington, he has de- veloped a young successor who will make Justice Department his tory on his own.

 POODLE HOPES HANG HIGH
 They said:
 On May 23, 1945, President Truman appointed the Honorable Tom Clark of Texas as attorney general of the United States, to succeed the Hon. Francis Riddle of Philadelphia, effective June 30; that MT. Riddle has been the incumbent of that high office during most of the period of this case and your defendants feel that he has acquired perhaps uncon- sciously point of view about this case and about conditions in Louisiana generally which make it very hard to obtain from him an impartial and unprejudiced atti-

For example. the outer leaves of cabbage are ten times as rich in calcium and Vitamin 4 as the bleached inner leaves, and three times as rich in iron. The same rule applies to lettuce, celery and other green foods. Green celery has one hundred times as much Vitamin A as the common bleached kind, while the loose-leaf green let tuce is much more nutritious than the so-called iceberg type.

STRENGTH FOR THE DAY

Augustine, the famous saint and scholar, was converted to Chris tianlty from a life of gross indul- gence. A few days after his conver- sion, he saw one of his former com- panionS approaching him on the
