Still the One Democratic Party

Two statements issued by Connecticut political leaders during the past few days serve to illustrate the contrast O tween the basic concept under which, in this state at eas the two parties operate On the day which Senator Bren McMahon refused be goaded into saying which ot several candidates favored for the Democratic guberna torial nomination. Chairman Harold Mitchell of the Repuo- lican State Central Committee out atfooted for NC Conaughy his parys nomination. thereby confirming the his opposition to Congressman Joe Talbot who seems to be the choice of rank and e Repuocan voters oueh out the State
 The real reason for Chairman MtchelPs opposition is little difficult to isolate Perhaps it's beside the point any way What his attitude shows beyond dispute IS that the tactics Republicans still require for their exc cution room weled with smoke and schemes and few party leaders ready junk the orderly of democ racy and dictate to their pary members whom they are supposted to vote for.
 By contrast the Democratic party remains the demo- cratic party While realistic politics require that those m charge to party convention With some Idea or the relative popularity of potential candidates Senator McMahon and Chairman Mcguire have made no move to dictate who the pars candidates shall be- They are reported to have arranged which IS simply an extension the of democratic under which the the street asked to indicate hs choce of candidates Chester Bowes is the one potential cand date the party who to have tried methods and the CLO.-PAC. iladvised action in asking It. Gov Shows withdrawal was dangerously like the Republican of trying to settle the nomination before the con- vention delegates meet to make thelr chOlce
 The end result of all these to be that the Republican convention Monday next will be co1foneo with hand-pcked slate with Joe Tabots missing that despite Joes admitted abilities and other claims to the gubernatoria nomination. The following week. the Demo cratic convention will meet with half dozen candidates st actively running and with it's leaders ready to accept the choice of the delegates as the partys nominees.
 In democracy, party true to the best uadtons oI the country and it's history do nothing else.

not under world spotlight they might all talk moderately.
 Secret negotiations needn't necessarily lead to secret treaties Nothing could be undemocratic than agreement signed in behalf of free people and pledging those people to course of action to which they may not approve. Decisions taken in private conference must be presented for ratifca- tion by the governments and nations concerned be- fore they actually become binding A democracy gives it's people the right to choose its leaders. But having chosen them, they must be prepared to trust them and to give them free hand to solve their problems by what appears to be the most effective If these representatives produce a solution that is not acceptable to the majority then the deci sion must be nullfied and alternative devised.
 Another disadvantage of the present system of time involved. As MT Nicolson pointed out Peace is most susceptible to the WaStage of time" The n- terinable sessions of the 21 nations with their Stant repettonS of speech after speech in three and sometimes four different languages in investing the proceeding with an atmosphere of deadly boredom that is stflng interest and sappng confidence AL ready the whole affair has become rather dull joke and unless something happens to accelerate the prog many will shrug their shoulders and cease to care what happens next.
 It seems obvious that the soundness of some of these arguments has at last become apparent to Paris The Foreign Ministers of todays Big Four have resumed their private meetings Any hope that these men may be able to unsnarl some of the tangled affairs of the Conference arises rot so much from the fact that there four delegates involved and not 21, but that their meetings are being held in private shielded from the harsh, revealing glare of world wide publicity. way thus is open for com- promises to be effected without the loss confidence and prestige which in this wicked world of power politics still counts so much.

(Guest writer for Peter EdsOn while vacatiOn)
 WASHINGTON, Sept. 6-(NEA)-A significant crack has been made in the British iron ban on immigration into Palestine-cause of all the trouble in the Middle East now.
 The British Foreign Office claims it is indi- cation of a change in the basic policy set forth in the Palestine White Paper, but few hopeful zonists whose negotiations with the English govern 1hent have produced heartbreakngly futile results are cheered by it.
 Success of this particular effort can be credited to the Jewish Agency for Palestine group created by the original British Mandate of Palestine.
 Victory wasn't won without great effort. Tradi- tional British Foreign Office conservatism isn't easily broken down. And Foreign Office officials had be especially careful in lieu of the world spot light which is now focused on Palestine.
 It is rumored that the deal swung only when an historical precedent shown to the Labor Gov- ernment The first time such action permitted by His Majesty'S Government when boatload of females was sent to the American colonies to relieve the serious spouse shortage. The ramifications in eugenics from that played an important part in American history and is the basis for the present D.AR The ramifications of the current action are expected to be even significant in Palestine.
 What the British Government has approved is the entry of 110 female members of Americas purest real honey chile," too. Forty come from Alabama and 70 from Louisiana The 40 from Alabama are claSsed as mon disease resistant"
 They are queen bees being sent in connection with attempts to increase Palestines national food

Putting Bee 0nP Palestine 1y Douglas Larsen

output The bees will be flown directly to Rehovot, Palestine, with stop for inspection by imml- grafton officials in London
 The administrative details in the operation countered by the Jewish Agency for Palestine were tremendous It isn't easy to snatch queen bee from her of admiring males and ship her off to discovered; especially with conditions the way they are in the Middle East.
 The bees have to ride in comfort. And they can carry only 13 days food with them This means that if the whole trip takes than 13 days the queen bee kicks the bucket. AS they arrive there has to be welcoming swarm of males to greet them else their vanity is apparently damaged beyond re- pair which would make the whole trip go for nothing
 The fact that it can only take 13 days makes it necessary for them to be flown It discovered that they have to ride in complete comfort, too Arrange mentS were made to fly them in a British Overseas Airways plane At first they to ride in the bag gage compartment But just before they took off it was realized that the baggage compartments aren't preSSurized or heated They would have frozen to death. New arrangements had to be made to get a seat for them in the passenger compartment
 When the bees arrive they will be sent to all parts of Palestine. Agricultural experts there have devel oped new method of making them multiply. Within a few years, beeing or honeying or whatever they call it, will be flouriShing business they hope, for Palestine is far from land of milk and honey now.
 Just before the cases carrying the bees were whisked out of Washington someone suggested tha signs in large red letters saying Bees not DPs be plastered all them the British would be sure to let them get into the country.

September 4 Editor of The Democrat:
 Celebrating VI Day, symbol of peace, in a world that is talking of future war, and remembering the things for which our heroes died, in a world in which our statesmen are forgetting them, makes us won dar if the ideals of our fallen heroes will ever be realized.
 It is only a few years ago that our souls triumphed when the youth of our nation paraded, carrying the standard of Democracy. With that standard they carrie in their hearts all that the word Democracy en- bodies; but most of all they carried the hope of lasting peace. We placed the hope of that lasting peace in the hands of our statesmen.
 Now that hope has grown cynical, for the narrow minds of men are bartering for their own selfish ad- vantage over the bodies of the dead. The Atlantic Charter that heralded the hope of all is being choked. The ideals that the gallant strength of our nation fought and died for is ending in talk and tedium.
 For proof Of this look you to Europe where peace" is being made. The confidence of our fallen heroes is being betrayed. Shall this hyproc- risy of making peace be allowed to continue in the manner in which it has? If it is, then not many years hence our souls shall triumph and sadden again, and our present heroes, like those of 1917 and 1918 shall not sleep.
 Sincerely, JOSEPH P. O'BRIEN

Today in Europe

Guest writer for Thomas L. Stokes while vaca- tion.)
 LONDON-No doubt that the obvious difficulties of obtaining agreements at the Paris Peace Conference have been vastly increased by the fact that the meetings have been held before the drew attention to the dangers inherent in public dis cussions of this sort.
 Harold Ncoson, whose brilliant broadcasts from Paris have made tremendous impression in this country and who is one of the few now attend ing the meetings who also was at the 1919 Peace Conference in Versailles described the latter as "a riot in parrothouse." But compared to the present chaos he says the 1919 meeting was "a con- clave of quiet and conciatory men,"
 Everyone recalls how President Wilson stated in 1918 that he would insist on "open covenants openly arrived at, but Wilson quickly discovered that public discussions precluding any hope of agreement and they abandoned in favor of private conclaves by the Big Four: Wilson, Lloyd George Clemenceau and Orlando.
 Some of the plenary sessions of the Conference of course must be held publicly, hut it is ridiculous that every decision concerning frontier adjustments and economic reparations should be argued fully in the glare of open publicity One result of this pubci- ty is that representatives speak more for home con- sumption than with a genuine desire to reach just settlement. Once they have taken stand they committed and they cannot afford to change their minds come to compromise for fear of losing face abroad and popularity at home Also the undgnified displays of bad temper that have come to be characteristic of the present meetings would far better be confined to the private council room, and might not then be blatant Some of the at American football game than responsible states men seeking to achieve fair solution to the innum- erable problems facing the world today If Vshinsk< and Molotov, of Russia, and Beasley, of Australia

PROBING IRREGULAR ELEC-
 TIONS
(Hartford COurant)

(Hartford Courant)
 The publication Labor, which speaks for fifteen recognized unions of railroad employees, asks editorial ly: Why not go after election crooks?" It is especially disturbed because the special Senate and House Committees on Campaign Expenditures seem to have begged down. Senator Johnston of Colo rado, who was chairman of the Senate Committee, has resigned be- cause of alleged covering-up of ir- regularities in the Montana pri- mary in which Senator Wheeler was defeated. Chairman O'Neal and Representative Allen of the House Committee have also quit in disgust.
 The editorial puts the cause of inaction mildly when it says: There is reason to believe the leaders of both parties in Congress get to- |gether to put the right kind of men en these committees" We know of no evidence indicating that the at tempt to whitewash alleged culprits is a bipartisan undertaking. But in the House Speaker Rayburn de- liberately and in violation of an unwritten rule passed over the sponsor of the resolution to create the committee because he would not be the right kind" of man to go easy where the interests of the party or it's friends, especially C.. I. O's P.A.C., might be concerned. Senator Johnson's Committee was also against those who might de- mand a thorough and impartial in- vestigation.
 All this is an old political ruse to look-pious while condoning sin. i No matter what party controls the Houses of Congress, it will see to 1 it that it shall not be embarrassed by rattling skeletons in the election closet. Congress would do well to show bit of statesmanship on this issue and create a non-partisan body outside of it's own member ship to umpire the contests at the polls and to conduct impartial in- vestigations in case where fraud or other irregularities may be charged. That would do more to assure clean elections than the creation of a hundred stacked committees.

 Parents realize that the return of school days means the renewal of the important task of others helping them to rear their young sters into good citizens. Now more than perhaps at any time in the history of our country there is a feeling that our education needs to be more genuinely American than ever before.
