Alleviating th miseries of the victims promises to be a much larg- suf Mississippi er task than was at first anticipated | and the sum ot $10,01 10 coliected by the Red (..‘ross will not be suffi- clent. The question naturally arises whether it would not he a good plan for Congress to be called in special session to vote relief funds commensurate with the stead of depending upon public money-raising campaigns. In the opinion of many citizens, it is the government's business to take notice of such a disaster and to take pro- per action. Senator Reed of Mis- sourl has made an appeal to the President to call a special session tor that purpose, but as he is & candidate for the presidential nomination himself and comes from a state affected by the flood havoc, his motives in some circles are deemed more political than humanitarian. This charge the senator, of course, indignantly denfes. We rather think the Mis- sourian is not the type of man to act politicalwise in such an emer- gency; and in addition, we think his point is rather well taken. ‘Where the fortunes of 400,000 fellow-citizens are involved it is the business of the nation’s government | to take efficient notice and not be content merely to send a cabinet officer to the scene and rely solely upon his suggestions for relief from private sources. It is the govern- ment’s job, a humanitarian problom that the government can best solve. The objection to a special session of Congress 18 more political than otherwiss. The fear is that Congress in session would yield to the oppor- tunity to do more than concern it- self solely with flood legislation. Political interests of the administra- tion, it is alleged, oppose the calling ot Congress; that body not in ses- sion is safer, politically speaking, than in session. That is the in, it not only, reason why there is an apparent reluctance to do the most efficient thing that can be done— call Congress to tackle the rellef problem. Regardless of thA politics under- lying the situation, Congress ought to be called to deal with the ques tion. It is the business of the na- tion, and the Congress is the na- tion’s best organization to dem with the disaster. 55 CONNECTICUT EXPORTS It no doubt came as a surprise to many to learn that typewriters we the most valuable item exported by Connecticut during 1926, nounced by the Department of Com- merce. Indced, Connecticut type- writers are being used the world over and they represent an item of international trade that advertises the state to an extent hended even by the people boundaries. The American typewriter Lias quered the world. re as an- ittle compre- within its Of cou the machine was Invented in this coun- | try and was developed here; but the British early tried to build writers and found to their discom- fiture the the American machines, recently that was surprised to find typewriters dn the government buildings in London were fcan make, and an inquiry in par- liament evoked 1 could not compete with easy-running and It king of Engl that was only the | of explanation that would he Willing o bet that most of these machines hailed Nutmeg state, More than a miilion doll wor of hardware wire year from this stat: most of this came from N ain, That is an fmportant 11em as everyone knows, () foreign hardware in from Uft exported st and « W overseas gnd it requires 1iore effort #o meet this than typswriter manufacture foreed to face.

The value of exports to the state can be better realized when it is compared with the cost of running the state government. In other words, Connecticut exported as much in one year as it costs to run the state for two years, SYSTEM AND THE FLYERS The American overseas flyers — or rather those who aspire to this distinction—are proceeding with due | caution, which it must i 1s in striking contrast to the method adopted by Nungesser and Coll.

WOMLN ON JURIES Whenever a jury partly composed an apparent bungle of a trial those opposing wo- men on juries do not lose sight of the opportunity for pointing with alarm. This being might refer to a case just concluded, with some degree of profit. Five women {n that state were on a jury which heard the case of a man charged with murder. The presence of the five women in the jury box did not scem to insure a very merciful consideration of the | culpret.

There are vast sources in Mexico, population is not dense; there would be work and opportunity enough for all if the nation were properly organized to take advantage of its possibili- ties. The same stimulus to emigrate does not, or mhould not, exist in Mexico as is the case in many over- crowded European countries. In- stead of people emigrating from Mexico, the records should show immigration. But what do we find? Simply that of late years 100,000 Mexicans a year have been emigrat- ing to the United States. The number is constantly increas- ing. There are Mexican colonies as far east as eastern Pennsylvania. In the southwest they are thick as flies. The worst feature about Mexican immigration {s that the records 95 per cent of the Mexicans: ver become American Thousands of them have lived this country longer than necessary to become citizens, but those who | are willing to forego Mexican elti- zenship are ve ‘We have put up the bars against except by quotas, Discussion of the propriety of this law is now out of place, as there is little likelihood of a radical change in it for many years.
