The fact, established by all tabu- lators of statistics, is that while pro- into opti- | duction has been 30 per cent below normal since the turn of the year, consumption has been only 10 per cent below normal—which is aplenty the country as a whole considered. The time has about arrived when production in most fundamental lines will h#ve to bestir itself to meet the démands of consumption. And while that is being done, the increased wages disseminated will tend to increase consumption also. Cheer up! The worst is past.

Paon- essa is the nominee of the demo- cratic party in the first congression- al district, the Jeffersonians are certain to hear reverberations not only in this city and district but also throughout the state. Several weeks ago when promi- nent Italian voters met at New Ha- ven and laid plans for a state fed- eration of Italian democratic clubs | and elected Paonessa acting chair- man it was whispered that the as- | sociation's chief purpose was the ad- | vancement politically of the former | local mayor. | With the passing of weeks it has been plainly evident that these ru- | mors were well founded. Several | meetings have been held and speal- | | ers heard but the only action takea thus far was a vote of cndorsement | for Paonessa’s candidacy. The Ital- ian vote in Connccticut, particularly in New Haven, is a sizeable bloc | that might be of material aid :o‘ cither party in carrying the state. In New Britain, Berlin, Bristol and Southington there is a large Italian vote, probably sufficiently great to turn the district to whichever party | happens to be favored with its al- legiance. Considering the probate court judgeship fight in which the vote here and in Berlin will decide who shall be successor to Judge B. F. Gaffney this vote must be reck- oned as of great importance. Normally, according to students of Connecticut politics, the Italian vote is almost solidly republican. Such was the case in this city beforc former Mayor Paonessa pitched h | hat into the ring in 1922 and W clection over George A. Quigley. Both parties are in ggreement that the republican regfim"od Italian vote is cast for Paonessa whenever he is a candidate for office, but when he is not on the ticket, the contrary is true. This condition was one of the elements which cntered into the defeat of P. F.

Abe Lincoln wouldn't have asked for a parking sticker. Guideposts to New Britain Missed By Travelers Nothing is more sadly needed to assist motorists trying to reach New Britain, and unfamiliar with the highways near the-city, than the direction signs asked by the city plan commission in its recommenda- tion to the state highway depart- ment. New Britain is completely ig- nored at many important intersec- tions on nearby highways, with the result that the .strange driver has to stop to inquire his way, or takes a2 blind guess on his own hook. At Avon, at the intersection of the College highway with the new concrete road over Avon mountain, there is nothing to indicate to the motorist traveling south that he shoutd turn onto the road marked “Farmington” in order to reach New Britain. The same situation ob- tains in Plantsville, at the traffic light there, and at numerous other corners mentioned in the list sent to the state highway department. The request of the city plan board, in- cidentally,” should not be regarded just as advertising the city. Actually the ercction of these signs is an ab- solute necessity to guide autoists who do not want to stop and con- sult a road map at every corner. Perhaps the main reason so few New Britain drivers have noticed the omission of the signs is that they know where they should turn and pay no attention to the signs. But let these same New Britain drivers start out on a Sunday auto attention. =— { No Special Privileges | for Government Officials | The Observer was goose-pimpled | with joy Wwhen he read the other day | of the decision of the police board | not to grant special parking privi- leges to city officials. | Apparently the government ser- | vants have the opinion that all men may be born equal but that equality ends on election day.

No tears were shed by New Brit« ain democracy when Chairman James Walsh and Secretary A. Side ney Lynch of the state central com« mittee “walked theplank” at the state convention of the party Thurs< day in New London. For many vears thé leaders hera have frowned on continued control of the committee by these two, with the feeling. against Chairman Walsh being perhaps a little less bitter than against Lynch, and when the local representative, John E. R. Keevers, went to the convention he was prepared to cast his vote for the reorganization forces. With- drawal of Walsh and Lynch avoided a test of strength in which the now retired officers insist they would have triumphed. Talk about con- verition headquarters on the opening night and prior to the announce- ment of the “harmony move” would give rise to serious question as to the amount of strength held in re- serve by the Walsh-Lynch duo, but since it is votes and not oral pro- tests that are entered in the record, the question cannot now be settled. Wether these two men possessed the qualities of leadership and the knowledge of political operations to make their services to their party valuable matters little—the fact re- mains that a considerable number of Conencticut democrats did not repose in their chairman and secre= tary the confidence that leaders must have to carry on successfully. Walsh's retirement was a graceful one, voluntary and not accompanied else in the party: Lynch, acting voluntarily as far as outward performance was concerned, but inwardly bitter against the reorganization forces and critical of almost everybody at the convention from Dean Cross dewn the line, made a less graceful exit. The new leaders, P. B. O'Sullivan of Orange. and Joseph Tone of New Haven, are well known in New Britain and have attended many of the democratic functions heres These choices met immediate favor with the local delegation and the O’Sullivan-Tone administration s certain to receive whole-hearted co- cperation from the Hardware Citys Complaints of lack of coopera- tion, made against Walsh and Lynch, particularly the latter, are expected to cease. Another condi- tion contributing to the unpopular- ity of Lynch as a state leader is his association with one of the large utility corporations operating in Connecticut, in whose employ he is. The same argument has been used with considerable weight whenever the gubernatorial arrow points in the direction of Judge William E. Thoms of Waterbury. counsel for the Connecticut Light & Power Co.
