Arms Traffic Control
Sought in Resolution
|At Mexico Conference
BY GARNETT d. HORNER,
Star Staff CORRESPONDENT.

MEXICO CITY, Mar. 8.--Perma-
nent elimination OF the profit mo-
tive In arms trafilc is envisaged In
a resolution adopted by the Inter-
American Conference here calling
for continued government control
of the manufacture and sale of
armaments after the war provisions
for such control are considered nee
essary to make sure that the de-
velopment of powerful new weapons
OF war does not fall into the hands.
of forces inimical to hemisphere
security.
The conference closes today with
a plenary session expected to place
the stamp of approval on resolu-
ton inviting Argentina to put her.
self in position" to cooperate with
other nations of the hemisphere and
join the United Nations.
The resolution, in effect, will call
on Argentina to change the policies
which resulted in her exclusion
from the family of American ma
tions. An Argentine declaration of
war on the Axis appeared to be q.
requisite to general recognition,
although this was not specifically
mentioned.
Mexico Sponsored Resolution.
| The ornaments control resolution,
sponsored by Mexico, was designed
to supplement other conference
action looking toward intensified
military collaboration of the Amer
ican republics on a permanent basis.
1t recommends that the co-operat-
ing American governments take the
necessary steps to reserve to them
selves control over the manufac-
ture and distribution of ornaments
within their territory as well as
international traffic in them.
| AS originally introduced, the reso-
luton called for direct Government
ownership of munitions plants anu
handling Of ornaments distribu
ton, but it was modified in COM
mittee sessions to give some leeway
for private business to continue to
operate in this field. In its final
form it was considered in line with
the general spirit Of existing legis-
lation in the United States, al
though there was some uncertainty
as to whether additional legislation
might be necessary to carry forward
the desired controls into the post
war period.
Competition Is Danger.
1t was felt here the resolution
was expected to have more prac-
tical effect in some Latin American
countries where the principle of
government control over traffic in
armaments has not been established
as fully as in the United States.
Among the dangers it is designed
to guard against is the possibility
that the profit motive might lead
private manufacturers to COMPETE
tive development of such deadly
new weapons as the W. rocket
bomb introduced by the Germans
in this war, which would menace
the security of all the Americas
unless kept under thorough contro
of friendly governments.

The Waterbury Democrat., 1945-03-13
Veteran Public Servant

The report in last nights Democrat that Miss Jane Kilduff is retiring as member of the Board of Assessors will be the occasion of many sincere tributes from the cltizenry of Waterbury. Mss Kilduff has been associated with this of- flee for so many years that people who have had frequent recourse to it's records came to regard her as their answer to any and all questions. It is to her credit that during her long service she acquired a knowledge of Waterbury property, US valuation, and it's assessment on the clty books that was remarkable.
 Forty years service is an honorable rec ord for anybody to boast Of. When city employe, who is subject to the chang ing political fortunes or one or another party. can accumulate as many years, Is doubly praiseworthy. It certainly ln- dicates that the persons service was placed on higher plane than that of a political heir. In this respect 1t may De said that, whereas Miss Jane klloulI came from family noted in the Demo, cratic annals of Waterbury, she merlted retention in her position of trust down through the years.
 Many times in the past it had been rurnored that she planned to resign. But usually each successive Monday morning would find her at her desk early Tn the morning; each following Saturday would find her completing week of consclentl- DuS and devoted service. Now 1t Is With regrets that The Democrat chronicles her retirement it is with much feeling that we offer congratulations on completion of a job well done.

Retreat From Isolation

Commander Harold Stassen recently said that, in his opinion, this country has definitely left isolation behind, and that applies to both parties" The same evening that the former Minnesota gov- ernor made that statement Senator Bur- ton K. Wheeler delivered a radio speech that may have added some slight weight to Comdr. Stassen's hopeful words.
 Mir. Wheeler tore the Yalta conference apart. He has done much the same thing with the administrators whole wartime foreign policy, right down the line. He didn't pull his punches.
 The Democratic Senator from Mon- tana never does. If any American does not know that MT. Wheeler was one of the most powerful and voluble of prewar tsolationists, it isn't MT. Wheeler's fault Yet 1t has seemed recently that when Mir Wheeler has mounted the rostrum to hiscuss our foreign policy, that rostrum has been moved an inch or so from its previous moorings
 It still doesn't stand very close to the position of Comdr. Stassen and millions of like-minded Americans. But 1t can't
The Waterbury Democrat., 1945-03-13

be overlooked that In this latest speech the Senator dld say kind word for the Atlantic Charter we must throw our full weight behind the principles of the Atlantic Charter We must throw our not wish to see our American ways drag ged down in the muck and mlre of Old World evils and hatreds."
 The second half of that statement has an old, familiar ring. But the Cenator does prescribe the Atlantic Charter as a means of dogging the perilS that he pic lures. And the Atlantic Charter is scarcely an instrument of isolation, If MT. Wheeler is moving his rostrum ever so slightly away from iSolationism, he is undoubtedly taking his audience with him. Mir Wheeler has always con1- manded a considerable following. It is doubtful, however, that this following will go beyond him and demand more international stand from him when the Senate debate on international organiza- tion finally begins.
 The Senator has a plan of his own for international organization, It calls for a"United Nations political council" (with- out access to the use of force in man. taining peace) which would lead into United States of Europe" Gin which the United States of America apparently would have no part). This reveals Sen- ator Wheeler doing business at the same old stand. It seems to refute Comdr. Stassens opinion and our footnote ot faint encouragement. Yet there is enough change in MT. Wheeler's attitude to lend hope that so influential senator is not wholly irreconcilable.
 We believe that Comdr. Stassen's esti- mate of public sentiment is about 90 per cent right. Whether that sentiment can translate itself into two-thirds plus one of the Senate when the time of treaty confirmation arrives is another matter. It would be tragedy of incalculable effect if it could not. We hope that the grain of concession in MT. Wheeler's speech is a symptom of move toward a truer reflection of public opinion in the Senate.

New Route Refused

It was almost certain that the Roads, Rivers, and Bridges Committee of the Legislature would listen favorably to the repeal measures, which were to be dis tussed by this group today at the Capitol, pertaining to a new cross-county highway route paralleling the Merritt Parkway and Boston Post Road in Fairfield Coun- ty. United opposition of the Democrats to the proposed route has finally been announced by State Chairman Adrian w. Maher. Also 1t has been learned that State Highway Commissioner William J. Cox is not going to interpose any objec- tons to the repeal measure.
 Back in 1943 the Legislature author ized MT. Cox to proceed with plans for such a new highway. Since then op- position has been mounting. It crystal azed this year with presentation of several repeal bills. And they seem certain of being passed on the basis of the mounting strength for them among legislators from Fairfield County and elsewhere. But the fact remains that Commissioner Cox is convinced that such highway will be absolutely necessary after the war is over. All of which does not seem to provide solution of the present situation.
 Perhaps the solution would lie in send ing this proposed highway on a different tangent than that suggested. A route that might veer to the northward and cross into New Haven County either by- passing Waterbury or going through the city, would be acceptable to Us. Such a route could cross the Merritt Parkway about at Trumbull and come up through Southford or Southbury, depending on where the Housatonic Is to be crossed. AS we understand it, Commissioner Cox would like to continue his plans for Fairfield County route, but not the one, apparently, that Is causing all the trouble.
 It doesn't seem as If there would be too much objection to this idea.

Some days ago we noticed comment in one of our local papers about the failure of the city to sand the hills. It came right after one of those sudden sleet storms, which seem to be puny in nature, but which actually cause lot of trouble for motorists trying to negotiate the hills of Waterbury. This particular complaint was that Waterbury's hills were glisten- ing, no trace of sand to be seen on them, but that grades outside the city limits in the smaller surrounding towns had been taken care of No doubt this is true, but we don't think the smaller surround ing towns should get the credit for this highway work. The State Highway De, partment takes care of this work and that's where most of the smaller towns have a distinct advantage on the DE cities. True this past winter they had to do a lot of blowing themselves, but most of the time the Highway Dept. can take care of the situation very nicely.

LEWIS WELLS FOR MORE
(NeW York Sum

Bituminous coal operators, accus- toned to dealing with the president of the United Mine Workers. may not have been stunned by the na- ture and extent of his demands. They know tht there are few quicker than John L. Lewis in ex- tending an inch into an ell. He has succeeded in gaining dictatorial power over major vital industry and has been ruthless in its exercise. Once or twice, 1t is true, he has seemed to feel ualms at being a lone wolf but these never have car- ried him to concessions which would bring him back into the American Federation of Labor. Now, appar- ently, he has determined that if he must be a lone wolf he is going to be the toughest such animal in the jungle.
 If his demands did not stun the operators they surely staggered the public. Requests for wage increases. extensions of concessions on under ground travel pay. and other pro- posals to make working conditions more pleasant for the miners. all were to be expected.

CONFERENCE IN MEXICO
(Meriden JournaD

The Inter-American conference in Mexico may be only a dress re- hearsal for the international gath. ering scheduled for April in San Francisco, but 1t has produced some thought provoking discussions. The most important question under con- sideration is whether the nations represented shall guarantee one American Republic against aggres- sion by another. Such a guarantee would be entirely ineffective with out U. s. participation in the agree ment. Thus our delegation is con- fronted with the necessity of mak- ing a far-reaching decision, and 1t is reported that its members are not in agreement on this point.
 The principal worries of the smaller republics are traceable die rectly to the Argentine problem. The danger of Argentine aggression in unacceptable, and should not be minimized. The Facist dictatorship in Buenos Aires is an ever-present threat to the near neighbors of the most powerful of South American states. The United States is honor bound to assist in checkmating any war-like moves by the Argentine, after challenging its government for giving support to our enemies. We must remain firm in our strond. or run the risk of inviting. though complacence and inaction. .-the ag- gression which we are anxious to prevent. If the Argentine regime were allowed to form the opinion that we would assume hands-off policy in the event of any provoca- tive incidents. the Fascists would be encouraged to attempt aggrandizc- ment. and a greater danger would arise.
 The habit of cooperation Is grow ing among the Americas, and should be further encouraged by the largest republic of them all. Tn Mexico City we have the opportunity to prove our good faith through agreeing to q system of hemisphere security in no way conflicting with the program framed at Dumbarton Oaks.

The blue jay in the arbor vine Observes the tomcat stalk beneath, Alerts to the antique design When assaSsins claws unsheathe. The jaybirds head turns on his wing, The jaybirds eyes are on the cat, And If the jaybird cannot sing He lets the silence go at that Until the grackle, wren and sparrow Drop within the world Of harm.

Hartford is quite concerned over ef- forts to unionize municipal employees. The Times argues that unionism doesn,t belong in this type of employment. It points out that all city employees, whether elective or appointive, are working for a municipality and they draw their salaries directly from the taxpayers. The Times pointed out that there might arise an oc- casion when a unionized police force might find itself in difficult position m enforcing laws which might have some relation to their position of affillatlon with a labor organization There are many conceivable difficulties.
