 Settlement To Be
 Completed Soon

Beautiful Quonset Huts were the term used to describe the first of 50 steel and aluminium prefabricated houses now being constructed in Wolcott by Thomas B. Grove. Two such homes have already been erect ed in Waterbury.
 Prefabricated in Cincinnati, the houses are shipped here in sections and are put together with only a wrench, screwdriver and drift pin They are all-Steel with aluminium roofs. Walls and roofs are insulated so that outside sheathing is unnec- essary, although brick or wood sid ing may be applied.
 Interiors are finished in pressed wood, sheet rock or other types of wall covering. All windows and doors 2 are of steel. The model now under construction will contain two bed rooms, kitchen, dinette and living room. Heat is furnished by a coal burning, fireplace type unit install ed in the basement.
 Grove stated that the houses come in individual units. Owners may select the number and type of rooms they wish. The first house will be ready for occupancy in about a month and Grove hopes to have the entire community on Spindle Hill Road, Wolcott, well under way by spring.

For Greater Safety

City Manager A. G. Nichols has
wisely cautioned motorists to observe
city speed limits in the recently an
nexed aseas in the interest Of greater
safety in traffic. He mentions par
ticularly the Carolina Beach highway,
but the warning includes all streets
and areas now within the city limits.
With the recent additions to the po-
lice force it is noticeable that arrests
for traffic violations are increasing.
This too is in the interest of safety
and with normal discretion ON the
part of the arresting officers should
create little ill will among offenders.
It would be well for the public to
combine with the police for a new
high record in traffic safety in 1916.
Without excusing any police deficiency,
it is only fair to say that the desired
record can be set only with public CO.
operation.

Marshall AS Mediator

About the only good news that has
come out of China in long time is that
the communists have agreed to accept
General Marshall as mediator in the
dispute with. the Central Government.
Otherwise the situation is as confused
as usual, with sporadic and minor fight
ing going on, and Jehol the newest seat
of disturbance. %
We may be sure that if General
Marshall is to arbitrate the differ
ences between the main Chinese fac
lions which have already delayed peace
in the Orient he will see to it that all
fighting or so much as belligerent ges-
lures are halted forthwith. And he
will be no more disposed to condone
violations of this rule by forces from
Chungking or on Chang Kai-shek's au-
thority than by the communists.
General Marshall will insist on a
square deal for everybody. If the
communists and Chang truly mean
what they say regarding the desir-
ability of settlement, they will abide
by his decisions.

France Asks Larger Voice For Small
Nations At Forthcoming Peace Meet

PARIS, Jan. 4REFrance has
asked the United States, Britain
and Russia in diplomatic note
announced today to give the smaller
nations of the world bigger voice
in the 21-nation European peace
conference to be held in Paris
before May l.
In the note, handed to U. S.
Ambassador Jefferson Caffrey for
relay to Moscow, London and Wash
ington, France asked assurance of
the Big Three, whose Foreign
Ministers projected the conference,
that the representatives of the d
countries would have proper
powers to do more than express
wishes" on peace treaties with
Finland and the Balkan states.
The note asked, in effect: will
the conference be able to make
recommendations to be written in
to the treaties or will it be merely
called to ratify decisions?
Some diplomatic observers said
they believed the proposed confer
ence, scheduled to start on or
before May I, would be delayed
by the Embarrassing question"
raised by the French.
The note bluntly reminded the
Big Three that France was Gin
terested in all important questions
concerning Europe, or any region
whatever of Europe" 1t expressed

Finland, Italy, Romania, Hungary
and Bulgaria be permitted a voice
in the treaties they will have to
sign.
France volunteered to play host
to the conference, declaring that
the conferences principal ''for
examining projects Of peace trea-
ties is received with great favor"
The note asserted, however, that
the peace treaty proposals made
in Moscow "are inspired by an
other conception than those made
by the Five-Power Council of
Foreign Ministers in London.
At London, the French said, the
procedure provided for inviting
other governments when questions
interesting them particularly were

At Moscow the Foreign Ministers
Of the Big Three asked France and
China, the other nations making
up the Five-Power Council of

in the drawing up of peace treaties
with Italy, Romania, Bulgaria,
Hungary and Finland, ''only men,

Welcome Winnie

Winston Churchill's visit to this
country this month is described as a
vacation. He will spend some six
weeks in south Florida. Being skill
full angler he probably will hang up his
tarpon and sail fish with the best.
It is to be hoped that, as long as he
is coming primarily for recreation and
relaxation, and assuredly deserves
both, he is not forced to attend ban
quets by enthusiastic chambers of
commerce or dances by enterprising
matrons.
This should not be so hard as he is
not scheduled for stop at Washing
ton-even to visit the President and his
only announced public engagement is
an appearance in New York on his way
back to England from Miami and points
south and west.
Nevertheless, it might be reasonable
to expect him to chat about world
events on a fishing trip or two with,
say, Secretary Byrnes, to whom he
could impart much valuable informa-
ton from his great storehouse of ex-
perience, to Mr.. Byrnes' and this ma
tons advantage. The former Prime
Minister of Great Britain could pass a
few pointers across the launchs lunch
table that would come in handy, es-
pecially in our subsequent dealings
with the Soviet Union.
He is supposed to adjure politics,
but can no more do so than the old fire
horse can help pricking up it's ears
whenever an alarm sounds.

DIVING DEEP


During the breezeless hot spell
OF last summer the surface of our
Canadian lake was warm. AS we
daily dove and swan from our
rocks we found ourselves in the
grip of a great truth. The deeper
down We went, the colder the
water became.
In all of life and learning, the
principle holds: the deeper one
goes, the more refreshing the re-
suit. Superficial paddlers on the
sea of knowledge and experience
miss the rewards of those who
dive deep.
A little bit of surface religion
may only make one miserable;
but to those who penetrate to the
deeps of relationship with Christ
there is joy, stimulus and power.
We want to go all the way with
Thee, our Master-even into the
dark recesses of the Garden. Save
us, we pray from halfway dis
cipleship. Amen.

Truman's Radio Address

President Truman made his radio
appeal for support of his legislative
program directly to the fundamental
source of power in this democracy
the people. He complained that small
groups on strategic congressional COM
mittees have blocked action on his pro-
gram which, he declared, is designed to
get the nation into full production and
full employment.
The plea and the complaint present
vistas of what is wrong with the coun-
try. The people have the power to
force action on any legislation but be-
cause they have refused to exercise it,
chiefly at the polls, legislation is guild
ed by powerful groups in Congress-
a fair example of the minority rule
which has long existed in the United
States.
And we fear there Is nothing In Mr.
Truman's earnest appeal for public sup
port that will arouse the people to the
performance of their full duty as citi-
zens of this democracy.
The address, in other words, was not
clarion call, not a challenge to stir
favorable mass reaction.
Furthermore, there are proposals
in MIR. Truman's program which the
people as a whole are not willing or
ready to support. There is, for ex-
ample, wide division of views on his
plan for fact-finding boards for In
dustrial disputes with the board en-
to examine the employers
books. General Motors is quite gener-
ally supported by the people in it's re-
fusal to open its ledgers for such a
board in it's wage dispute with it's strik-
ing workers.
Nor is his "full employment" pro-
posal, with increased compensation for
idle workers generally supported.
Many Americans see in it means of
loafer class at the expense
Of the taxpayers, with consequent de-
crease in the country's productive
powers and the ruin of thousands of
lives which otherwise might be con-
tributing to the national prosperity
through earnings and normal snand-
ing power.
