It seems good to see "YOUR" weekly paper, the HARTFORD CHRONICLE, standing out on the newstands downtown, with the rest of the news. Lots of nice comments on the new set up, as Bill James, of the Sunday Herald, calls it: Hartford s Up and Growing Negro Weekly. You are due a copy-don't miss 1t.

Lad Astor MOI TO
Quiet Long

There are two things she could
do. hope she does. What news
copy it would make across the
country.
Like Madame Chang kai.shek,
she might address the Congress.
I'm fact, Senator Pepper Of Florida,
friend OF Lady Astor. is quietly
sounding out Senate sentiment)
Looking ahead to that possibility,
one can predict that her effect
upon the Congress would be as
oyerpowering. but far different.
Like a broken blossom, the First
Lady OF China, the oriental Meth
odist," begged indirectly for funds
while the Senators swooned from
her charm. Hard hitting Nancy
Astor, self-described 'as a rip
snorting Southern Baptist and the
mother OF six children" would make
the senators sit on the edge OF
their chairs either in righteous
indignation or to applaud her au-
dacity. The result would be lot
more spirited talk about the loan
E. and a number of votes. Lady
Astor is like that
The other thing she could do is
to give the battle cry to the women
OF America. Organized club WON.
en- Of America would rally to her. E.
for she is known as "a woman who
pioneered for women here and n
England. II Nancy Astor, one ma
tional club president told me, could
ring the doorbell OF every American
home and speak to the Missus'
the anti-British feeling in the
United States" would disappear
like the morning dew after 10
O'Clock"
That being impossible even for
the indefatigabfe Nancy, she could
make a caravan-lecture tour across
this country. Wherever she goes
she stirs UP controversy. That's
all right with the Washington
strategists OF the loan because
they know what will XIII the propos-
al to put England on sound
economic basis land therefore a
large part Of the worldl is that the
American people do not understand
and think. "Oh, It's just like that
other war debt they never paid"
or course. It is possible that II
lady Astor did either OF these two
things. her countrymen might ac-
cept the loan, but turn on her. But
knowing the mettle OF the Lady
from Plymouth, that would be all
right with her. She's that kind Of
thoroughbred.

By ESTHER V. W. TUFTY
The other day had tea with
Lady Astor at the British Embassy.
Ever since the explosive Vir-
ginia-born Nancy announced she
was getting out OF politics, | have
worried and wondered about this
first American woman ever to be
seated in Parliament. On a war
mission to England during the
blitz, got to know her rather well
and spent Some time in Cliveden
and London with her. | call her
Mrs. Anglo-American" because
have heard her go British" back
here in her native country and just
as snappily defend the United
States to British critics in London.
II was unthinkable, to me, that
this vital woman should suddenly
decide to sit on a cushion and sew
a fine seam. Especially right now
when the strength OF the Anglo
American tie is to be crucially test
ed without the war urgency to sof-
ten old prejudices. To her Il must
seem just as important that the
American people AS well as its
Congress decide that 1t is mutu-
ally necessary for this government
TO loan Britain upwards to four
billion dollars.
Lady Astor will not sit quietly
on a cushion for very long. She.
the ardent feminist, admits. and
laughs at Herself. that her re
tirement' vas a command from a
man. Lord Astor put his foot
down. A patient man for years, he
at last said NO" to his Nancy.

antics he secretly enjoys. His ord

tired than she will concede, she
agreed and will live up to her

But she said to me. in discuss

Honorary Degrees for 1916
Smirmey, Thaddeus X. (horse low
er, business man and sportsman): A
! racing enthusiast, a man with nor
NAL reactions to business opportuni-
ties, and a fellow interested in a
new track, you nevertheless refused
to cooperate with your associates in
seeking priorities so veterans could
be deprived of homes while new
racing plants went up on time. This
makes you decidedly one of the Men
of the Year and a decided standout
in the sports world. Help yourself
to any degree in the house and stay
for some cold beans.
Snaffle, Dudley x. (radio enter
tainer and gentleman): The star
of one of the big radio programs Of
America piped into the homes of the
land during the hours when the kid
dies are all ears, you rejected foul
and degrading gags, jokes and leers,
even though you knew they were
good for boffs. You increased your
stature further by never referring
to a woman as tomato. This
makes you the most unique radio
star of the decade. Take cluster
of honorary degrees, and would you
care for a glass of beer?
Minch, Oscar Legislator, stamp
collector and good citizen): A MEM
Der of congress with an election
coming up and your seat in jeopardy,
you called your shots, kept your
courage, scorned the threats of spe-
cial interests, and voted for such
laws as you thought would keep
your country from going over Nj
'agara in pressure-cooker. You at
no time hedged, pussyfooted or act
ed like a greaseball. To you, Con-
gresham Minch, we award spe-
cial crate of de luxe degrees and
toss in four pounds of butter.

week of Fourth of July, and every
drop of American blood in my veins
is apt to get hot when I consider
the magnificence of our war effort,
our unparalleled generosity in both
peace and war, and the calm as
sumption by all the rest of the
world that we are created and exist
ent to fight their wars, pay their
debts, feed their hungry, bind up
their wounds. These are beautiful
things to do - Christian-like things
to debut we are human, too, and
unless we feel in our own hearts a
certain pride in ourselves, nobody
else is going to feel it.
So whatever the foreign press
says of it, and however ridiculous
their claims and their reflections
upon US are, don't you be one of
the Americans who lament our stu
pidity, our meanness, our interna-
tional ignorance. Think twice before
you quote the glib speakers all
about us, those men who re-iterate
that america must not be left be-
hind in the rebuilding of the new
world, America must do her

Her share! Ask them some time
what the other nations propose to
do, what their share is? No other
nation has as yet told us anything
of cooperative action in helping and
rebuilding. They all want help, lots
of it, but each one wants it ex-
clusively for itself. If you have
heard of any European nation-or
even any other nation in the West.

planning to help any other peo-

1t is a strange thing, comments
Miss Norris after hearing a
speech, how Tue americans like
to run ourselves do,Un. a fter tvirt-
ming great ,Uar, to Which tUe
contributed more than any other
nation, ,Ue are expected to take
care Of all the hungry and home
less people all ouer the world.
We are endeavoring to do this,
and are trying to ration our
selves so that there will be more
for STARRING Europeans and Asi-
attcs.
This is a most notable Chris
tian effort. We are glad to do
our share, and much more than
our share. But when tUe are con-
stantIy being criticized by for
eigners for not taking care of
everyone, without expecting rec
ompense, ,Ue feel hurt and an
cry. No other nation is giving
anything like the amount Of food
and clothing and medical sup
plies. On top Of our enormous
,Uar debt, we are expected to
shoulder staggering burdens for
nations that contributed little or
nothing to the Uar, or the relief
OF ,oar-ravaged populations.
