Taylor and his fellow chamen the gatherings have been characterized by admir- able restraint and commendabe leadership.
 In view of the fine record thus far surprised at the decision bar representatives of the from at tending the Thursday night meeting at Anderson School
 Those who at that meeting were there as repre- senatives first of their particular groups and second as representatives of the axpaying public generally Those thousands entitled complete Ind prompt reports which can be made available in other way than through the daily press The advantages of publicity in this case would seem to far outweigh the disadvantages.
 may be that the decision to make the meeting closed one reflects the pque which advocates of feel against certain local newspapers While the Demo crat holds brief for the tactics of newspaper which pleads conservatism in it's editorial columns the while echoes rabbe-rousng of Pats Mills seeding from Waterbury in it's columns page do feel that full frank and impartial publicity essential to sound consideration and solution of the present problem
 We hope those directing the current campaign for re- lief alleged excessive valuations will not fall prey to the temptation of making their plans in the privacy ot smoke-ed Only honest and complete frankness on both sides accomplish just and wise solution.

 A New York newspaper takes the optimistic view that while there are an exceptionally large number of people on strike at the present time, still there are many millions who are remaining at work in the same old way, providing various necessi- ties of life to the inhabitants of this country.

mates indicate that there will not be nearly enough accommodations for the future surge of students.
 Even without going far into the future, it. iS clear that the married man and his family will continue to pose threatening questions to the college authorities. He requires spe- cial accommodations. Will the col. leges and universities go into this new venture on a long-range plan? That is to say, will they plan to abandon the quonset huts, the Arn1y-released dormitories and the other temporary devices, and build permanent structures for. families in college? Will they, in fact, go all-out for this new idea, or will they plan to. ban it eventually alto- gether?
 These and other questions must be answered sooner or later, and in their. decisions the institutions of higher learning will directly. affect the hopes, the ambitions and the opportunities of modern youth.
 The entire nation will have : an abiding interest in the conclusions which are yet to, come.

THERE ARE BOOKS AND BOOKS
(Hartford Courantl

(Hartford CouranG
 The demand of the CIO to look at the books of a corporation, or at what President Walter Reuther of the U. A. WIG. I. O. calls get- ting "the arithmetic" of a wage controversy, does not mean what it may appear to mean The books, in so far as they may reveal facts as to wages, hours, earnings, prof. its. reserves and. dividends, are all available. The Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Securities and Exchange Commission, for instance, have corporation reports and use the data in them for their various studies and findings. But these are not the books" MT. Reuther re- quested.
 Rather, he wanted the corpora tion's estimates of future costs, pro- duction and earnings to determine what slice he, should demand. These figures are only forecasts, gueSses on the market and various other factors entering into price and production. sIn. no sense of the word could they be depended upon as conclusive evidence. They are tinged with guesses, risks and 'pos- abilities. If a corporation were too optimistic in it's forecasts with a resulting loss or earnings below es- inmates, would MT. Reutter ask his membership to make refunds to the corporation?
 It is obvious that no fact-find- ing board and no set of labor union officials are in better posi- tion to make these estimates than are the corporations own execu- tiyes. Besides, the fundamental fact persists that this is the his- torical province of management. Un- til organized labor expresses some willingness to accept responsibility for its acts, as do other big busi- nesseS hedged about by statutes en- acted in the public interest, it is difficult to justify even peek at the books" to say nothing oi looking at them for the purpose of proposing wage increases.

 Before he went to China, stlwell had insisted on being supreme military commander Once in China, however he found himself baked at every turn. Of 2ls divisions In Chiangs armies, he was given only two ragged, unequipped divisicns The rest os Chiangs Army either oafed around in China or was up north fighting Che Communists
 Tn le4S the Gimo decided that China would let the Allies win the war;" stilwel1 said, "and that's just about what happened"
 He added that 1t wasn't all directly the fault of Chiang Kai-shek Chiang would send message to some local chief, asking for two divisions, and the local chief would reply that he could have the men but not the supplies Then, after sending the men, he would send message to the Japs that the lines were pretty weak at the spot from which the men had just pulled out.
 
 stlIweM could not get enthusiastic about the re- cent truce announced between Chiang and the Chinese Communists. "The Gimo has been making and breaking promises for 25 years" he said
 rhe United States is the only reason he's in power today and if the United States should cay to China, We don't like the kind of government you have here because it's too much like the Hitler govern ment-and we won't help you until you change that form of government why that guy Chang wouldn't be able to get two blocks from his house.

 "As for the question of permitting the Com- muniss to retain their army, why there's differ ence between it and the Gimos Army His Army isn't national army-it'S strictly an army of the Nationalist Party just as much political as the Com munist Army"
 Stilwell said he had never gone to North China to see the areas under Communist control; not be- cause he didn't want to, but because I would have been thrown out of China that much sooner"
 To illustrate his point that the Chinese don't like Chang and deserve something better, he recalled that in e village not far from Chungkdng, rilnor
