Perhaps the answer lies there. under the vs editorially: The situation in New Britain with a new Normal School without quate accommodations for the young | women who would want to attend, or with but one wing of the proposed building which would take care of them, is not pleasant to contemplate.

Witness the spectacle of the caucus being called on 24 hours notice in the back room of a Broad street barber shop, and the subsequent demoraliza- tion of morale in the indorsement, of the republican candidate for alderman by a democratic appointee to the board of public works, a former lead- er of fifth ward democracy. Democratic success in this city de- pends entirely on the fifth ward’s con- tribution to the vote, as even the school children know, and if the pres- ent chalrman of the democratie town committee and the representatives from the fifth think for a minute that the party will condone their failure to {function at the recent firtth ward cdu- cus, then they have another think coming. Citizéns who have voted the democratic ticket for years remained For instance, South America's lead- ing newspaper, La Prensa, of Buenos Aires, quotes Deputy Queroz of the Brazilian congress to the effect that Brazil will be *ready for war in two years.” La Prensa adds that she's making these preparations ‘‘under tutelage of the United States.” Argentina's the country which con- siders herself chiefly threatened by Brazil, but La Prensa accuses the United Btates of stirring up militar- ism in Peru also. This hits Chile. Uruguay is reported sore’ because the United States turned down ' her League of American Nations scheme. ENGLISH POLITICAL OUTLOOK London cables mention in the same breath gains in bor's political strength in England and correspond- ing Conservative gains there, too. There's nothing- contradictory this. Times are hard in England. This makes votes for the Labor party, which favors change. It's a tendency which the Conservatives consider dangerous, and the¥’re drawing to- gether for defensive purposes. in away from the polls last Tuesday as a protest against the barber shop caucus and its doings. It is political suicide for the party to continue the above mentioned fig- ureheads in office, as their procras- tination and lethargy only drives life- fong democrats out of the party, to say nothing of their influence against enrolling new voters with the demo- crats. call for the enforcement of the law | Splendid: if he wants to—but no one wants to— it is to be presumed that Mr. Buck- ley's idea is to make the motions of area is enormous. So the next meeting’s liable to be, not so much a conference between Turkey and the ‘“powers” as a squabble among the ‘“‘powers” them- selves, with the Turks bargaining, here and there, wherever the trad- ing looks best, and maybe getting pretty much anything they want. BIG BUSINESS PLANS The iron, steel and coal magnates continue to discuss settlement of the Ruhr question. E. H. Gary's talk with Hugo Stinnes makes it look as if America were taking part—as be- tween magnates, not as a govern- mental matter. Sir Allan Smith, the English cap- tain of industry, wants an economic alliance including his country, Amer- ica, Germany and Russia. Other Britons who favor his plan say a combination like this would be |tco strong for France. They declare England wants to re- habilitate all Europe. They think America wants the same thing. They believe Germany wants it too, as a means of rehabilitating herself. In Sir Allan’'s opinion, even the soviet rulers can see that general improve- ment would be for Russia’s good. But 8ir Allan complains that France cares about rehabilitating nobody but lierself. That's why he leaves her out of his scheme. LATEST TRAGEDY IN RUSSIA Russia, however, seems likely to get less recognition than some-people fav- ored according to her, because of the execution of Msgr. Butchkavitch, Ro- man Cathelic vicar-general there, on a charge of opposing the soviet gov- ernment. The understanding was that Msgr. Butchkavitch, though condemned, would not actually be executed, but the Moscow rulers appear to have lost their tempers over the storm of pro- test they received from other govern- nients and to have put him to death against their original intention, to show they could do as they pleased, regardless of the rest of the world's wishes. The result is that many poople in other lands who had bheen in favor previously of giving them at least Consolidation of the Conservative lines is hastened by the general con- viction that Andrew Bonar Law, the Conservative party leader, can't last as premier much longer. When he goes out, unless the Conservatives are clearly in a majority in Parlia- ment, a Labor premier will come in. Many Englishmen who, on party is- sues, disagree with the Conservatives, are Conservatives nevertheless rather than radicals, as the British Laborites, in their opinion, are. 8o, for the ex- pected period of stress, they're get- ting over toward the Conservative side.
