British commercial interegts, cables say, are bringing pressure ta bear on Premier Bonar Law to abandon his policy of standoffishness, so far as the Ruhr is concerned, and tell the French just where the line is beyond which Great Britain will consider it unfriendly in her to go. By Charles P, Stewart Labor's plan to abolish capitalism in Great Eritain needn't be taken very serlously just yet, | It's true that Labor's the second |party in numerical strength in Far- {liament, but that doesn't mean, In case the Conservatives should go out of power, that the Laborites would come in—to stay. Ramsay MacDon- ald, it's a faet, undoubtedly would be appointed premier in such an event, but it's a foregone conclusion that the Conservatives and Liberals would combine against him immediately, so that the majority would be against him, and he'd have to resign, under the British governmental system, at once, Then it's possible that the premier- #hip would be offered to David Lloyd George, the Liberal leader, who was premier before, or perhaps there'd be a national election without any fur- ther experimenting. Anyway, an election's what things would come to pretty .soon, because that's what always happens in Ing- I#nd, where administrations don't last for any definite term, except that there's a maximum of scven years fixed, whenever there's any doubt which party in Parliament has most votes, And an election would be sure to mean a victory by the hwderates over the radicals, of whom the latter make up the group behind the anti-capital- ism proposals of Philip Snowden, who, even among radicals, is considered pretty pronounced in his views.

In a residence district only resi- dences can be built with the excep- tion, of course, of the foliowing build- ings normally required and unobjec- tionable such as schools, churches, libraries, farming houses, ¢tc. In the business districts, large size industries are disallowed such as factories, mills, and those emittink disagreeable odors snch as stock-yards, gas works, paint works, fat rendering, oil storage, etc. In the unrestricted districts any type of building may be erected and as some of these districts are only part- ly developed they may be restrictea later when their identity can be more clearly,defined, if it is desired to pre- serve their identity. Use distriet zoning would protect business sections from encroachment of large factories and industries dls- agreeable to the public; residential sections from business ana stores, and give the factories a free hand to ex- pand in unrestricted territory without the expense of buying up residential properties which sometimes takes vears before they can be acquired. Prospective home bullders would be inclined to build in restricted districts for their own protection and for the reason that banks would make larger loans in restricted land than in unre- stricted, all of this tending to lower the cost of land for anufacturing expansion. Residential districts could be safeguarded from suen encroach- ments as four-car garages and over, gas stations, petty storekeepers and tailoring establishments which wedge their way into and exploit our best residential sections, thereby unstabil- izing or Inflating property values. and is first to be written off as a to- Such business should be kept on a ital loss, The storckeeper makes his|commercial street or in the section of ain at the expense of his peighbors,|a street which is commercialized. ,who must suffer a loss in the vaiue| It is very probable that use-zoning | of their property without redress. might broaden the human rélation- 1 believe the layman up to this|ship—the political and social side of time has been indifferent to a zoning|the city, by bringing about less dis- Jaw possibly becauge he pictures zon-|agreement and partisanship and a |ing as applied to towering skyserap-| more wholesome civic organization. ers growing up over night adjacent|In a future New Britain, assuming to to our Central Square, which over-|be zoned, it would be logical to find shadow in his mind the great benefit|the manufacturing Industries stretche derived from restricting, (by zoning) |ing out from east to west along thu the use, or industry to which a bulld-|railroads, the residential sections {ing 1s put, a form which is most ap-| branching out to the north and south and the business gections in the cen- ter and lining the arteries of traffic leading to the residential districts.

The recent slogan “Own Your Own Home" should be superseded tem- porarily by “Zone Your Own Home."

Under the zoning law now being contemplated by the legislature, muni- cipalities will soon be encouraged to the adoption of such an ordinance. A number of New England cities already have zoning ordinances and many others are about to adopt them. The city of New Haven has recently voted an appropriation for the plotting of the entire city, prelimtnary to the adoption of a zoning ordimance. We cannot begin too soon. Zoning is not a new idea for we find a treatise on use-zoning by that great architect, Al-| berti, written before the year 15090. There were local ordinances on height-zoning adopted in Paris in 1672 and use-zoning in 1728.

P. G.

The United K States, he believed, thansacted a larger volume of business | with Cuba than with any country in Europe, excepting Great Britain. Cuba balanced had maintained a profitable tradg balance in every recent year but 1921, he added, and the Cuban peo- ple being large consumers of textiles and of shoes, New England had a splendid opportunity of winning new trade.
