 During the time the Governor made the promise to pay half the local costs and up this current demand the State authorities gave every indication of being in the nrcess of stimulating the progress of the local program Actually what appears have happened is that the Feu s authorities were awaiting the funds promised by the State and no progress being made No homes nave been built in Waterbury and the city has expended for SlO4OO program designed to cost us but haf that amount. ,,,

World Budget

WASHINGTON Dec 7--AIl over Che world She young men are knocking as the doors.
 Most of them carried guns in the war. Some of them in other lands are cold and hungry Some in other lands and some here looking for jobs. Some who given to thinking slender young fellows with a line across their brows ahead of time, are knocking on the doors with ideas and schemes for peace.
 Such one knocked on my door. He had an inter- estlng plan.
 Only it's probably too radical
 Yet all he wants to do is to use all the agencies of the United Nations for what he calls world prosperity campaign" He wants to get everybody at work all over the world and everybody fed and housed and clothed and thus content To do ths all 1t takes is to utilize the and the people of the world just as if they were the people of one nation.
 His name is Robert Rosamond of Philadelphia. Hes 26 years old He is graduate of Temple Uni- versity in Philadelphia. He has been accountant for numerous bushes corporations in recent years Between times he's worked his plan and knocked on doors here at the State Department at the Cap ito in business buildings in New York and elsewhere
 He would make one addition to the present United Nations structure. This would be world budget made up by e world budget committee on which all the United Nations would be represented. It would determine the needs of people everywhere and, through financial assistance from the International these needs start industries. start agriculture going open trade opportunities. And as he points out there so many areas practically untapped. such as India and China. And in many other places the ravages of war must be repaired
 The world budget would be set up under the economic and social council of United Nations. He cited authority in the charter for creation by the
