WASHINGTON, D. C, Dec.21. Criticism of
reciprocal trade agreements by Oregon's Charley
McNury got uncier the skin of Cordoll Hull, secre
tary of slate. Many, many typewritten panes
were used by .Secretary Hull to tell McNary that
the latter, in substance, doesn't know what he
is talking about and reminding the Oregon senator
of the manifold blessings the trade agreements
have brought to products (agricultural) in the
Pacific Northwest. McNary is now gathering am
munition preparatory to giving Hull both barrels.
In a public statement, McNary, senate republi
can leader, pointed out how the depreciated cur
rency of Canada, France, Britain, is making matters
worse for the American producers. Because of the
depreciated currency Canada, as an example, is
dumping trainloads of apples into the United States;
that another phase of the currency situation is that
the countries specified arc not buying from the
U. S. The secretary of slate can, if he will, remedy
the matter by modification or cancellation of the
trade treaties.
The trade treaties arc the babies of Secretary
Hull and for weeks he has been defending them;
hitting at anyone who criticizes them. In the
lengthy answer sent to McNary the secretary failed
to touch on the issue raised by the Oregon senator.
He did, however, intimate that McNary lacked
facts; lacked information of how agriculture in Ore
gon and Washington has been aided through the
trade agreements.
The secretary of state left himself, wide open.
Senator McNary is preparing a statement show
ing how Hull's treaty with Canada sold the Oregon-Washington
lumber industry down the river;
how treaties have' been costly to the apple, pear,
prune and other fruit growers of the two states;
how the treaties have created competition for the
stockmen; what has happened to the shingle in
dustry in short Pacilic Northwest industries gen
crally, without one agricultural product being bene
filed.
Secretary Hull wrote to McNary that exports
lo Canada, franco and Britain arc actually large,
notwithstanding the currency question, but ne
glectcd to mention that the bulk of these exports
consist or war materials, such as airplanes, air
plane engines, bombers, material they can purchase
nownere else except in the United States whil
the allies are acquiring their other supplies from
mcir colonies and commonwealths of the Empire
uinn t, wrote nun, nc place a quota on im
portation of furs from Canada to protect American
lur larmers.' Wasn't that a genuine modification?
Being prepared is a brief which will show the
slate department what the depreciated currency of
Canada is doing to the Pacific Northwest lumber
situation. I he grange and other groups are also
assembling data and Senator McNary is collect
ing statistics from the departments of commerce
and agriculture. He may demonstrate that some
oi the current exports (cotton and tobacco) are
ncing subsidized by the American taxpayers.

Just to keep the record straight. That article
in Time, news magazine, about Charles Linza Mc
Nary, of Salem, Ore., having breakfast with p,-pi.
dent Roosevelt "sometimes thrice a week" where
he is "constantly counseled with," just isn't correct.
It has been many a long day since the Oregon
senator had breakfast at the While House and he
called but once ( Time was correct saying he used
the side entrance) for a private confab since the
adjournment ol congress last August, and that was
when Mr. Roosev elt discussed something more im
portant than politics.

Most of Ihe 1!)3!) research on the glands was
rcinccnuaien on the male and female sex hormones.
,M suns i.ti hi s arc now available in various
tonus, aim may be injected into Ihe bodv, rubbed
into the skin, or planted in pellets, for slow absorp
tion, under the skin.
The male sex hormone, which is scientifically
called tcstoterono propionate, has now been shown
lo be of value particularly in men who have lost
the function of certain glands because of disease
which necessitated surgical operation, because of
accident, or because ol sonic failure at birth.
Men of tiie Icmmine type, when given this sub
stance, produce a growth of beard and develop a
deepening of the voice, and show general increased
masculinity. i ne material is also used i
past Ihe age of 50. who. in some instances
io pass mrougii a period resembling
of life in women.
r...... : ...l i..
,i in itial ly signuictjii in relationship to the
ii.-i: in i nc leinaie sex Hormone is its effect on
cases of leukoplakia. In this condition, there is a
thickening of the surface of the tongue and some
tunes of (he membranes lining the checks. '
Investigations also showed that these glandular
materials, when injected into animals in excessive
amounls, stimulate the growth of cancer, partlcu
arly when injected into mice of a cancer strain. In
human beings, instances are reported in which
there has been sudden, massive swelling of the
lircasls. These occurrences indicate the nccesiitv
for extreme caution and control in the use of these
powiful preparations.
As Ihe year ended, it was announced that a
synthetic substitute tor the female sex hormone
had been discovered. The product is called stil
bestcrol. Much interest during 1030 was centered on the
numerous hormones which are derived from the
pituitary gland and the relationship of this gland
to the other glands of the body. The pituitary gland
seems to be the source of hormones concerned with
growth, with the flow of mother's milk when she is
nursing a baby, with the hair, and with all of the
sexual functions of the body. No doubt. 1040 will
see new hormones isolated from the pituitary gland. 1

pLUM PUDDING for Christmas
dinner is like Santa Claus to
the Christmas stocking almost a
necessity. Some may prefer ice
cream with a rich sauce, or fruit
cake with ice cream on top of it.
Mince pie belongs in' the festive
menu, too. But for the sake of
tradition, plum pudding is usually
the cornerstone of the dessert.
Today almost every high class
baker and confectioner puts out a
special plum pudding for the holi
days. You steam it at home just
before serving with hard sauce.
However, in many households,
making the plum pudding is part
of the Christmas ritual. And in
others, puddings are made to be
given as presents on Christmas
day. If you plan to give a friend
one of your puddings, notify her
in advance so she will allow
space in her menu for it.
Here's a fine recipe for plum
pddinq:
Hin Mine plum pudding is part
of the ceremony in many house
holds. Just before the pudding is
brought into the dining room, a
jigger of strong brandy is poured
over il and then lighted. It will
arrive in beautiful flames.
