Section 2 of this chapter, states ex- pressly what “commissions, boards and committees” the mayor shall ap- point. Investigation committees are not included in this list. As far as we ‘ have been able to discover the charter does not even imply that the mayor shall appoint committees such as the police investigating committee, unless such implication be found in the words of the charter “It shall be the duty of the mayor to recommend the adoption of all such mecasures con- nected with the police * * ete.” Thus there appears to be no official reason why Mayor Paonessa should veto the resolution for a police investigation on the ground that such resolution named the members of the investigating com- mittee. Nevertheless there might be sound reasons why Mayor Paonessa’s veto would be proper. He might consider it to the practical disadvantage of the city to have the police department discredited at a time when both the board and the force are doing effi- cient work—if he believes this to be the condition of affairs. Or he might properly veto a resolution naming the members of an investigating commit- tee if ‘he considers such members, or any of them, unfitted for the work for any reason. | 1t is not to be expected that a mayor in a city like New Britain would predicate his veto the latter ground, The intimate, and customarily good feeling which exists between the mayor and members of the common council would make it unpleasant to gays the least were the mayor to veto such a resolution on the ground that | some of the members named were un- fit for the work. Personally, it is prob- able, Mayor Paonessa would not say that any one individual named in the resolution was not a proper person to be on such a committee. BEach member named is a respected citizen of the city in his individual affairs. But it is possible that a mayor might believe the political influence upon such mem- bers would unfit them for this work. All talk of a “police inVestigation” in this city gives the people of the city and outsiders a wrong impres- | sion of the department. Most people will not know that the ostensible pur- pose of the investigation is to find out about the alleged appointment to the force of men over age. The general impression will prevail that there is something decidedly wrong with the department—an impression which is erroncous. There is little incentive to | good work if improved cohditions in a | department are rewardéd by an inves- | tigation of it. | upon TO COMMUNICATORS The communication signed Crossing Tender,” published in newspaper yesterday, is here referred to, not because it is necessary to dis- | cuss this matter further, but because it gives an opportunity of emphasiz- ing the fact that we do not often de- nounce any individual aer organization and that we did not “try to hang” the comment on this | | crossing tenders in the the danger of the railv gates.

The duties of a traffic policeman are arduous. Those of a gatetender are even more important, Both bring anxiety, Faithful Service is appreciat- ed. Far from critlcizing the gatetender we urged some plan that would re- lieve him in a measure of some of the mental strain that comes to him be- cause of the responsibility of his posi- tion. His advice in formulating such a plan should be of great help to the authorities but they are the ones who should institute it. MELVILLE E. STONE The editorial staff of the New Brit- ain Herald joins with other news- papers which are members of the As- sociated Press in extending its best wishes to Melville E. Stone, secretary of the Associated Press, on the 75th dnniversary of his birth, yesterday. Mr. Stone, as much as any other in- dividual in the history of news gather- ing and distribution, helped to elevate the newspaper from an object of suspicion to a medium of presenting daily history in which the public has confidence. As an organizer of the Associated Press, he contributes mightily in the evolytion of the news- paper to its present high station. His purpose was, and still is, to present the news of the day accurately and at the earliest possible moment. In the achievement of this object, the Asso- ciated Press, with the spirit of Mel- ville E, Stone dominating its destini- ties, leads all newsgathering organiza- tions throughout the world. Age does not interfere with Mr. Stone's interest in the Associated Press. It is the hope of all newspa- permen that he will continue to enjoy for many years that vitality and men- tal alertness which has made him an outstanding figure in the newspaper world ta LITTLE NOURISHMENT Once again may be cited the drama- tic recital of the vaudeville performer who stalks to the footlights, es his trembling hands in the general dircc- tion of the place above him where the curtain is rolled up, and sobs out in pathetic tones: “She asked for bread and the curtain came down with a roll."” The people cry for hard coal of which there is a plenty either in the ground or already mined; they plead for warmth—and today the generous, assuring statement comes from Wash- ington that they will be educated to the use of soft coal and coke and that the governors of 11 states are to be called together August 28 to scgo its distribution. Tha't is the tiny “roll” we | get when we need plenty of the staff is But there is no recason to give up| bi hope yet.

The interesting phase of the reply is Poincare's state- ment to the effect that there is no need of “experts” to determiner what Ger- many is able to pay since she is con- vinced Germany can pay the 26,000,- 000,000 gold marks she demands, and since she intends to stay in the Ruhr until Germany does pay that amount. This amount is in addition to the sum France will pay America and England on the interallied debts, and France will pay nothing until Germany comes across. to the Reports concerning the way the re- ply has been received indicate that Poincare might have said worse things and not caused any surprise in Eng- The situation is not changed a land.

STEWART NEA Service Writer England has said to France, in sub- stange: “We think you have no right in the Ruhr, “Your method of trying to collect from Germany, besides falling, s making it impossible for other claim- ants, like us, to collect anything, either. “Maybe we can't force you to quit the Ruhr, but there's one thing we can insist on, Since you don't care what we think of your German pol- iy, we want you to pay what you owe us right now.” P NOT VERY HOPEFUL Part of I'rance’s answer has been to grow severer still in the Ruhr, I As to her own debts, she says she can't pay anything until she knows what she can get out of Germany, and she can't tell how much she must insist on having from Germany until she knows how much Ameri- cans expect the French to pay them. France owes close to four billions to the United States, but not many Americans “expect” to get it, consid- ering the attitude of the French to- ward their {var obligations. SIXES AND SEVENS Anglo-French relations are such that the “entente’” may fairly be con- sidered ended. This doesn't imply an Tmmediate clash, but it almost certainly does mean continued KEuropean unrest. It's upset the value of European moneys even worse than bhefore, and it threat- ens to mark the beginning of a period of Anglo-French unfriendliness and rivalry, the logical tendency of which is toward another war. Of course, a belated agreement may be reached but there's small prospect of it now. LONG FOR “NORMALCY” Italy sides more with England than with France, 8o do most of the war-time neu- trals, like Spain, Holland and the Scandinavian countries. Belgium is so overshadowed by France that she has to follow the lat- ter’s lead, but there arc signs she doesn’t like the Ruhr situation. The United States having suggested an international hoard to decide how an pay—a plan which suits the British but not the I"rench—England counts on American sympathy, too. Al this is natural. Irance is keep- | ing- Burope in a fermept. The rest of the world wants “normalcy.” o . PAYING NOTHING NOW In some respects, Dr. Stresemann, Germany's new chancellor, is more defiant of the French than his pre- decessor, Herr Cuno. Cuno wasn't paying any cash to I'rance, on account of her reparation claims, but he was turning over con- siderable quantities of manufactured goods and raw materials, Stresemann ! has cut off even this tribute. All that Germany's got, he i needs right at home. , she DANGER BOTH WAYS Stresemann is a little more the “people’s” representative than Cuno was, but to a considerable extent he stands for German ‘“big business,” nevertheless. He faces two dangers—on one side, an uprising of the royalists; on. the other side, an uprising of the reds, e 4 25 Years Ago Today (Taken irom Herald of that date) James Riley, who is employed by R.

MARK'S MEN'S CLUB Season's Social Program to be Opened September 6 With Corn Roast — Committee to Canvass Members. An active fall and winter scason has been planned for the Men’s club of E Mark's Episcopal church by the executive committee of that organiza- tion which decided at a recent meet- ing to open the season with a corn roast on Thursday evening, September G.
