BONUS VETO | There is no question but that Pres- fdent Harding ontdid himself in his message vetoing the honus bill. With his ability to express himself in lan- guage which employed the “inevita- | ble word” at proper mar: 11ed all the arguments against the bill, relying primarily. the point he however, on the fact that the bill does not meet the requirements he demanded for any bonus bill before he would give it his approval—it does not carry provision for the payment out of any specffic funds blame for the at least temporary the bill should be given the President alone, for his conduct and attitude regarding it first delayed its presentation until such time as its opponents—and they Praise or defeat of were powerful opponents—were able to get before the people all the argu- ments against it, thus bring converts in Congress to the cause of its defeat, and secondly in stamping it with his official disapproval. It will always be a question whether or not the party leaders of the Re- publican party are pleased or dis- pleased that the President did not approve the hill. There is no ques- tion but that those leaders would have it understood by the former service men and their friends that the party, | approved and fought for the measure.

Pajewski of the fifth ward has sald something that contains food for thought. There is one sentence in his statement, publish- ed in The Herald of yesterday, that | should be emphasized. If his planned actlvity is guided by the of that one statement nothing but praise may be bestowed upon his proposal. “In my opinion," he say, “I think they (the great political parties) ought to choose men no matter of what nationality, on their merits and qualifications, whether their names and in ‘f-0-2' or ‘s-k-i'""’ Of course the Alderman might have included a plain American suffix, but it is pre- creed | the people of any race to activity in vance members of that race, any race, to power merely because of the blood which flows in their veins, the action sumed he did not intend to discrimin- NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1922, ate against candidates for office hear- American names, of Alderman Pajewski's remarks is to the effect that he in- to the people of the Polish race to take more active fng common The tenor tends to try influence to demand repre- end that they will be part in sentation to the politics recognized as a bhody of Influence, He insists that they could be made as strong as groups or organizations composed of people of other hlood whose votes, he asserts, are being sought hy politiclans through the bait tence above quoted, namely that men should be put on tickets regardless of their nationality and solely because of their qualifications, certainly there can be nothing but good resulting from arousing the races In the vital questions of the day and persuading them to enter actively into participation in the man- agement of public affairs. If, how- ever, this dominating thought is for-Y gotten, if there is an attempt to rouse interest of men of all from order that they, as members of that race may gain power which will ad- is not praiseworthy. One of the dis- graceful features of politics today is the fact that sometimes race feeling is appealed to for the purpose bringing success to a ticket. Any -in- tensifylng of this custom is to be deprecated.| Any attempt to becloud political issues by the injection of ra- cial prejudices should be considered heneath contempt and should work as a hoomerang, harming, not aiding, the party guilty of it. The voters of this country should be treated as one great body of citizens of the United States. Those voters who are foreign-born have paid the United States the greatest compliment | within their power to give. They have renounced allegiance to the land whence they came, or whence came thelr ancestors, and given that al- legiance to the United States. A “‘great party” worthy of the characterization should recognize this fact and appeal should be made to them, not as per- sons whose interests lie in other lands but rather as persons who voluntarily have chosen to have their interests here—to do their share to make itizenship a splendid thing. And they are doing it. Unfortunately leaders of the great parties are not always so high-minded. They stoop to petty votes. Any move calculated to develop farther this attitude cannot be denounced with sufficient severity. If Alderman Pajewski will stick to his belief that men should be chosen for office “no matter of what nation- ality,” and and if reads this idea among people of his race, limiting his activity to doing this and nothing else, his efforts will be commended. 1f, however, he seeke to stir up any race against another or to seek for one race benefits given another forgetting that “all are U. §. Citizens” his actions will be regarded otherwise, of American tricks to secure feeling, this “on their merits' INTERNATIONAL UNIONS It is reported that an alliance be- tween the coal miners of Great Brit- ain and the United States, to ald each other in time of strikes, is contemplat- ed. The idea is to prevent the ex- portation of British coal to Amerlca, to break strikes or from this country to England when miners there are striking. A strike in this country has been practically ended. All but about 50,000 | of the 600,000 strikers have returned to work, the secretary-treasurer of the United Mine Workers of America. The miners are glad the end has come; the peo- that coal be mined. There is the universal opinion here that the coal miners' affairs will not settled until there has been a thorough readjust- ment of the industry. There are too mines being exploited; there are too many miners A sufficient number of men should be employed the year round, instead of there being a great body of men employed work- ing too many mines for part of the according to statements of ple are rejoicing will be satisfactorialy many | coal mining matters and vear. In this way only will satisfac- | tion for all concerned come, and this | result can come only after a thorough | study of the situation has brought a | solution—an economic solution—of | the problem. { In this situation the learned secre- | tary-treasurer is planning to form an | alliance to make future strikes efiec»‘ tive. It would be quite proper, to | make things equal, that the operators should be considering ways and means to combine to make it iImpossible for But this latter plan would be denounced by the rank and file of people as un-American, The action of the official of the miners' union should be characterized in the same way. Both miners and operators should be planning, not how to make strikes effective how to fight strikes, but rather how to arrange the Industry so that there will be ‘no oc- casion for strikes. It was Clemenceau who said, |If memory serves, that the world should stop thinking in terms of war, after the armistice was signed, and think in | ferms of peace, in contemplation o, strikes to succeed. nor peace his should be the frame of mind of strikers and operators at this time, No {industrial peace will come until the desire for and appreciation of the wisdom of peace is firmly fixed, To that end strikes and talks strike should glve way to a study of the situation and a preparation of the case by both sides which will clarify furnish a of sound basls for the investigation that s to be made, Incidentally it would be well to re- member that this government was on the verge of taking over the coal mines. Probably only settlement of the strike prevented this drastic step of which approve. But such a step would be taken quickly were the mines of this country to be shut down | because of a desire to aid strikers in England or any other We have not yet reached the point \\'hcre: a minority of people in this ccuntry, laborers or capitalists can prevent the | people from receiving the coal \\'hlrhi‘ lles In American soil merely because | they are having labor dificulties in England. We will ,not yet allow the action of a minority of people in England to take from the peonle of this country the coal that lies in their land, Some labor leader may urrange an alliance with English labor, but the government of the United States will not stand aside and allow an English labor leader to order the shutting down of American mines—and this result would come if such an alllance were formed and American Labor kept its word to English labor. And, we believe, American Labor, when it came to consider the matter, would not consent to being dictated to, as to their treatment of the people of this country—their compatriots—by Bri ish labor any more than they avou obey an order of British royalty. few couatry. BILL'S WEDDING PLANS. Bill Hohenzollern insists on getting married again. They say the lady is all right as far as family goes—that is nearly all right; of course she's not quite up to Bill's blood, but then, no- body is according to Bill's family idea. You see Bill was destined for big things, and all the family and the folks that lived near him expect- ed big things of him. They hated to see him marry beneath him. But Bill isn't young any longer and they've sort of given up hope that he'll do quite all they expected him to do, and now that Bill has made up his mind to get married they have sort of glven in. That is it seems as though the family had consented—all except young Bill, old¢ Bill's son. They all met and talked things over the other day—the family did—all except young Freddie Bill. He wasn't there. The gossips in the town where Bill's living now, putting two and two to- gether and remembering the sounds of family squabbles coming from Bill's house and also that young Bill hasn't given up all some of the things his father didn't do, have come to the conclusion that young Freddie Bill wasn't at that family conclave because he was too mad at his father for planning to marry again to go to it. The gossips say, too, that there are a lot of old men where old Bill came from, that had other plans for old Bill and who were planning to haul him out and stage a ‘‘come back." The gossips say Bill's getting married, eapecially to a lady who doesn’t quite come up to Bill in family connections, sort of spolls their plans and they don't like it. But anyway the general opinion in the neighborhood is that the lady will get stung, and that Bill has %iven up all hopes of asserting his own per- sonal power—except, of course, over the lady he's going to marry.

SAFES PRESIDENT'S VETO T0 BE SUSTAINED Harding Has Sufficient Number of Votes to Kill Bonus Measure Washington, Sept. Harding yesterday vetoed providing a cash honus forms of remuperation to men who served in the World War, Tomorrow the House will conslder the veto message and is expected to pass the bill over the president's dis- approval, Conditions in the senate are uncer- tain, but from present indications that body is likely to sustain the veto by the slim margin of two, or 20,—President the bill and other perhaps one vote. If these indica- tlons eventuate the bonus bill will die. As the bonus measure originated in the house, it was returned to that body by the president with a mes- sage, giving his reasons for disap- proval. The house had voted over- whelmingly for the bill, and there was only a slight ripple of applause when the reading of the message was concluded. Throughout the reading there was an intense silence main- tained among the house membership. Even a stronger in the visitors' gallery unfamiliar with the course of the bonus legislation, could have sur- mised easily that the veto was not popular. The reasons given by the president than make unreasonable expenditures. He was. Now that ekipments of soap are getting into Russia, thesoviet leaders can resume the blowing of bubbles.
