Moreover people glad to pay 20 a ton—if they will only have coal, are “A horse, a horse; my Kingdom for a liorse,” becomes a faint wail beside the present *“Some coal, some coal; my $20 for some coal.” In this city we have had more coal than the residents of other communi- ties, We have paid high for it—but we have had coal. Grant, if you care to, that there have been many com- plaints about the dealers, We have had coal-—more than most people. Months ago the New Britain dealers saw what was coming. They said they bought coal at any price, almost, believing it would be better to have coal, even though it was expensive, than to have no coal at all. The people protested the high price—but got their coal. There came went out and a time when ,listening to the protests | of the people that the price was so high and that coal could be purchas- ed in aHrtford, for instance, at a low- er price, the local fuel administrator told the dealers not to buy any more high-priced coal; that there would be company coal shortly, he was sure. The dealers could then have bought more independent coal and some of them feared that even this would be taken from the market. Because they did not buy during the two weeks that followed, we have had less coal than we would have had if they had been allowed to keep on buying inde- pendent coal. The situation may be summed by the statement, which should be made in all justice, that the dealers here, whatever else they have done, stand justifid today, in the light of what is happening in Hartford, for their much criticized action in buying this independent coal.” Nor is the winter over yet. More coal will be needed— not much is the hope, but some more at least. The finail word has not been said. But in this one particular, at least, we should be unfair were we to refrain from stating plainly that we are indebted to the coal dealers of the city for their action in buying coal when they could get it, even if they did have to pay a high price for it. BUSINESS IS GOOD New Britain is assured of spring prosperity unless unforeseen factors put the brakes on the wheels of in- dustry. A number of manufacturers who are watching the business baro- meter closely voice the prediction that the demand for products manufactur- ed in this city will continue, to the benefit of men and women who earn their living in the factories and retail mierchants. E. Allen Moore, chairman of the board of directors of the Stanley ‘Works, puts his finger on onc weak- ness in the situation—the inability of the rallroads to furnish service. It is true that the railroads are not able to transport goods in quantities in which they are manufactured. A great many of the lines have embargoes on general commodities making it im- possible to keep supply and demand ‘well balanced. Mr. Moore also offers advice worthy of being heeded when he says “It is| a good time for manufacturers and men to keep their heads.” There tendency on the part of labor to insist | on higher wages; there is a ten-| dency on the part of manufacturers to} insist on higher prices. Both realize | that there is a shortage of things they have to sell, muscle and finished products, respectively. The lesson | | of | taught by the consumers’ strike ;1921 should be fresh enough to deter| . either from radical departure from | common sense. It is8” obvious that if| \ ‘they don't keep their heads another “period of inflation will follow and ‘then a period of depression. ~ The same danger is referred to by “$. H. Cooper, president of the Fafnir Bearing Co., when he says: “If prices ‘of all material can be maiiftained ere near the present level, m 1o reason to fear a termina- of active business for some time | eome.” If the prices of all material be Mainteined, the country | 2aded Zor a repetition | administration would have | undeceived by the ugly stories in the | | year, the former in anticipation of the | Joys of the days to be spent there, the latter in the hope that their little ones | will be made strong again through the | | splendid movement which has the | | through approval of all, | The determination to incorporate Is | & wise one.

A kiss in time saves nine, | A FAINT GESTURE Weeks ago this newspaper stated | editorially that the stage was all set | for some unexpected, worth while ac- tion on the part of the Unitefl States and that it would come if there was | any semblance of the American cour- age and initiative left in Washington. The European situation called. | Saturday, too late by many days, Mh(‘re was made a faint gesture by | the administration, in the form of a| request that the Senate consent to our becoming a real member of the World | Court, which indicates that the Pres- ident and his Secretary of State telt | the necessity of doing something. The ;uclion of the President was certainly | “unexpected;” the suggestion is cer- tainly “worth while.” And perhaps | the trite phrase ‘“better late than never” is not out of place. But wlth‘ only a few days of the session of the Senate left and with President Hard- ing temporarily at least lacking in strength because of his defeat in the matter of the ship subsidy bill, much ! of the value of the suggestion is lost. It is but a faint echo of the strength | SO many of these Russian dancers . s ntl 3 .. | remind us of the bear that walks like of conviction always in evidence M man, the lives of the great men the anni- versaries of whose births we have just celebrated—George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. As to the merits of the suggestion this newspaper can add but little to the statements it has already made in regard to the wisdom of the United | States acknowledging, not that it must take its part in the world af-| | fairs, but that it is already a part of the world, Occupying that position in | the world, the affairs bf which in- fluence this country for good or the | reverse, it is the height of folly to | continue to let others manage the af- fairs of this world. We must have a | voice in the things that affects us. | It is inevitable. Much is made of the vote at the time President Harding was elected. It is said it was a repud- jation of the whole League of Nations idea. It was not. I'ew thinking men in this country today doubt that the Leaguo of Nations idea must domin- ate the world if we are to have peace. The international Court, which Pres- ident Harding now asks the Senate to recognize by our participation in it | officially, is the very essence of the! League Protest all they will | that this country may enter the court “free from any legal relation to the League," nevertheless by entering the | court we become a part of an insti- | tption which had its inspiration in lho‘ | League and in nothing else. President Harding can not expect | that the Senate will grant his request before it adjourns. If it took four months for that body to keep us out wish he'd show a little censor quit. Well, if we must have another con- ference, let's make it a prayer meet. ing.
