It has been clear for some time that this pro- tection no longer exista But maybe they have learned to use their fists te better advantage. Jemes A.

PRAYER IN CHICAGO ‘Thousands of Protestants com- municants In Chicago assembled in _thele churches yesterday to pray to the Almighty that the city be purged -0t Hts evil. Bome time ago Mayor Thompson blatantly claimed that little crime left in that city. Since that time there have been bombings ot the homes of officials, thus add- ing to the other horrors of the place. | Even while the sincere people were praying for deliverance in the churches the following major crmes were perpetrated: A gangster was shot ‘warfare was re-opened. Robbers attacked a plant and es- caped with $750,000 in money and $300,000 in property. That does not mean, of course. that God has forsaken Chicago and will not answer the prayers for de- liverance. It means primarily that and gang the police department and the en- ! fercement and respect for law gen- erally is low. GOV. SMITH AND MRS. KNAPP | It 4s not surprising that the pub- lic of New York is somewhat \»mer‘ over the decision to drop proposed eriminal action against Mrs, Flor- cnee Knapp, former secretary of state, who was involved in’ alleged cengus-taking irregularities. The flood of adverse newspaper editorial comment must mean that the general openion s that Mrs. Kpapp should not be given wpeeial consideration merely, because she is a weman. Gorernor Smith, said to be “puz- 714" over the indignant protests mdde. cprtainly has nothing to fear from the charges made hy Colonel Theedore Roosevelt that evil condi- tions n Albany have been aliowed to creep within a stone's throw gt the state capifol. i ‘Times’| Putting the two incidents togeth- er one gets the amazing assump- tion, voiced by Alexander Otis, the former counsel of Mrs. Knapp, that the governor told the district attor- ney to drop the 5 Knapp charges in order to make a bargain with the Roosevelt forces. Such a claim is too ridiculous for belief. A more reasonable supposition is that the district attorney of Albany county dislikes to prosecute the for- mer secretary of state. The informal charges against her were serious— grand larceny, illegal removal and destruction of public records, false audit and certification of payrolls and forgery. Mrs. Knapp herself, one cannot help concluding, should be the first to insist upon a public trial and possible vindication. With- out such action many if not most people in the Empire state will con- clude there is truth in them, ICE CREAM The man who invented ice cream, it Is writ, had a hard time convinc- ing anyone that it was first class food or a delightful tidbit. The public took to the newfangled food slowly. But that was in the good old days, so far back that scarcely any- one nowadays can remember the time when they began selling frozen cream. To the present generation they have always been selling it, and scarcely anything is more common than “ice cream parlors.” ‘Which Is by way of introducing ourselves to the latest example of mergeritis, which has encompassed the ice cream industry in the east- ern states, From one merger to an- other is an easy jump in these merger days. It was only a short time ago that many of the ice cream plants in New Ergland merged into the Eastern Dairies, an organization which retained the various trade names in the various districts, so that the public really did not know much about the merged company. Perhaps a few independents re- mained Independent, but the Eastern Dairies had a capital of $10,000,000, NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, FRIDAY, MARCH 9, 1928 the London government, but by the time this became -generally known throughout the land of the pyramids he had to bow to an indignant popu- lace and resigm, his cabinet golug with him, Now King Fuad of Egypt is left alone to argue with the British, and his prospects to | emerge victorious in the debate are not good. | Egypt wants its independence, to begin with. It is hard to fancy the British agreeing to any such spec- tacle of self-determination, especial- ly with the Buez canal nearby. The British stand is that the canal must be protected, and that the Egyptians lare not fit for this job. England 'would go a little further, too, desir- ing to maintain troops in Egypt and to have some sort of control over the Egyptian police. It seems that the British are taking no chances, | as usual. "ment granted Egypt “conditional in- dependence,” at which time the British protectorate was terminated. The protectorate had etarted in 1914, when the land was taken from the semi-suzerainty of Turkey. The “peaceful arrangements” concluded in 1922 by Lloyd-George were widely heralded, but did not turn out peaceful, culminating in the assassi- nation in 1924 of Sir Lee Stack. The present foreign office seems to have concluded that the earlier arrange- ment was a mistake. As a matter of fact, there has been more trouble with the Egyptians since that time than before. ‘What Egypt has lost as a result of | British rule is hard to locate, how- ever, while its material gains have been many. During the 42 years of ‘Brmah rule the population has ‘doubled. it being more than 14,00,- 000 last year, with more than a 'million people living in Cairo; The irrigation system, the life of Egypt. has been enormously improved, and the great Sennar dam built far up the Nile was opened two years ago.

You ean bet from this there must be money in ice cream. The manu- facture of the confection or the necessity, has become a great Amer- ican industry, Folk used to make it at home to a considerable estent, Just like they formerly used to bake thelr own bread; but in these days few seem to have the time for such household activities. Buying the ice cream around the corner is much easler, and of course, no home made {ice cream competes with the in- | finite varietics.there found in stock. | Thus the big business idea in ice cream, the big merged concern which is going to continue furnishing everybody with the product that makes profits, ¢ ‘ And why money in ice shouldn't there be cream?

TIE BRITISH AND EGYPT Self-determination doesn't apply to Egypt; no more than it applies to any other third or fourth rate “pow- er” where a first rate power has an interest. €elf-determination is that | species o idealism which looks nice ,on paper and "spoken; but in practical affairs in the chancellories of imperfalism it doesn’'t work; in fact, doesn't exist.

The Egyptians, clvilized and impregnat- ed with political theories from the west, have seized upon self-determi- nation as somgthing neccemsary to their happiness. The British see a wealth of cotton, perhaps oil, and | other minerals in Egypt; the canal is close at hand and is one of the main highways of the British em- pire. For these reasons, and perhaps some others, the British are not in- clined to yield too much ta the na- tion which has been revived after #0 mariy centuries of mere existence. Important also ie the possibility that it Englands folds up her tents in Egypt some other aspiring power might try to get in later. Anybody knowing ‘Britain likewise realizes that this will not be allowed to hap- pen as-jong as London has any diplomacy left. .Observations Cn The Wea:her | Washington, March 9.—Forecast for Southern New England: Snow this afternoon and tonight; possibly mixed with rain on the south coast.
