Quits ally when some person active in the government of the eity, or especlally interested in secing it all the things it would be wise to do, consid- ers New Britain's physieal aspect, that person thinks of the clity plan com- mission as the body to be consulted, Recently there has been considera- ble discussion as to the propriety of locating automobile garages in certain places; objections have been made to the sites selected. Recently, too, the idea of zoning the city has been dfs. cussed, a movement which has been mentioned frequently in these col- umns, But those who are now con- cerned over both these matters are somewhat embarrassed about going at these matters properly, feeling that they should be taken up by the city plan commission or, at least, with the co-operation of that body. The com- mission is composed of many mem- bers and it is difficult for them to ar- ragze to get together and give active support to any movements requiring frequent meetings and extensive, united study of practical conditions. It would seem that those interested in having the zoning system adopted by the city—and there are members of | the common council who have already | studied this matter—might be ap-| pointed as a committee to look it up, | working with complete accord with | the plan commission, draft such| ordinances with the aid of the cor-| poration counsel, and then submit the plan first to the city plan commission and then if approved hy it, to the common council. Many cities have| such ordinances already, and such a| committee might profit by a study of | them, patterning the New Britain ordinances after those already lnf operation. | This is a matter that becomes less valuable the longer it is delayed. T{ must come eventually. An orderly growth of the city from now on would | be of far great advantage than such growth later, after different localities | had been harmed because hlmdlng.'j were constructed with no gencral plan | for city improvement or maintenance | of the present value of There should be no delay in getting | this movement started.

H(atos" where both senators favored the en-| trance by the United States into the | World Court were heavily shaded; states where the senators were divid-| ed, were shaded half and half; where there was doubt, white covered the area of the sgtate. The map, glanced at causually, had a decidedly black appearance, indicating that the sena- tors from most of the states favored the idea. This was confirmed by the figures given, stating that 73 senators favor the entrance into the court, 37 being republicans and 36 being democrats; | main | fast becoming popular with the peo- | pla generally in this | the debt funding ‘commission, | lean g ree AMERICA WIS ronet a pers i pride at b Ameriear mateh the great in the ¥ they They faced defeat, apparently Waiker Cup, premacy Then contest for the ting they proeeeded 1 4p from benind and win eut at the wire, A puts it expert th seat paragraph !

The present situation in England, with its necessity for naming a new premier in the place of Bonar Law.‘ resigned, is interesting even to Amer- icans who are not wrapped up in poli- tics or In consideration of foreign af- tairs. It is always interesting to watch a great natlon as its sentiment changes’ or becomes more fixed. The| present situation across the water gives the chance now, to see which way England is drifting—toward an | intensifying of the importance of | aristocracy so repugnant to people o(j this country, er toward the suggestion | of democracy upon Which our own government is founded. Thy ultimate choice of the Premlier lies with the King. There is a certain feeling that King George 1s| not the forbidding, lofty and arrogant gort of man a king is generally sup- posed to be. The visit of the young Prince of Wales to this country, and | his pleasing personality—as well, per-: haps as his frequent falls off the backs of horses—has tended to strengthen that idea of the royal fam- ily. There are two men prominently mentioned as possible premiers, | Marquis Curzon, present Foreign Sec- retary, who stands for the old regime in his place in the house of Lords,| and Stanley Baldwin, the Exchequer, business man and ac- | new, If one of these men is named there may be an Indication whether or not King George does, in fact, lean toward a greater recognition. of the value of placing at the head of the government a man who is at least a little closer to the people than the member of the house of lords would be.
