A Popular Fallacy
IT IS perfectly amazing how many people hereabouts, believe
that the pansage of the federal relief bill, means the distri
bution of over two billions of hard cash to the various states,
to be UBed willy-nilly, as the people of the various states desire.
During the past week scores of citizens have visited this
office, firmly convinced that at last Uncle Sam has assumed
his proper role, which is that of an immensely rich and extreme
ly soft-hearted Santa Clans.
"This money Is going to be handed out Now let Oregon get
busy and secure Its rightful share, and thus have th wheel, of
prostrate local Industry whirling again."
That is the overwhelming reaction of this community judg
ing by those who have taken the trouble to come to this office
and offer their suggestions regarding the best way to spend
our suddenly acquired millions.
e
"F course Uncle Sam is not going to distribute cash to the
states, the old gentleman in fact, is not going to GIVE
the states ANYTHING.
All he is going to do by the provisions of this relief bill, is
to extend credit through the Reconstruction Finance Corpora
tion, loan certain sums to the states in need, -in PROPOR
TION to their need sums which sooner or laier must be paid
back to Uncle Sam with interest.
TPHAT'S all. States which are not in need, states which have
no serious unemployment problem or are able to handle
the problem without federal aid, would be foolish to invoke
the provisions of this federal relief bill for the same reason
that a business man, fortunate enough to be making both ends
meet, and not in need of using his credit, would be foolish to
borrow money from the bank.
We know of no states in this fortunate position. We merely
call attention to this obvious truth to make the true nature
of this federal relief measure clear.
IT IS not essentially a PROSPERITY bill, it is a DEPRES-
SION bill. It is not designed to create prosperity; it is
designed to prevent disaster, to forestall collapse.
States should only take advantage of the measure, with that
end in view. A state can no more restore prosperity by borrow
ing money, than a doctor can cure a case of measlea by scraping
the skin of his patient, or an individual can lift himself by his
bootstraps.
Prosperity will not return, until confidence returns, and
confidence will not return until the normal naming power of
the people is restored.
Borrowing money from the government will help to restore
tiiis buying power by putting thousands of the unemployed
to work, but at best, it can only relieve the problem, not solve it.
And unless the borrowed money is used wisely, and placed
In self sustaining industries,
themselves worse off rather than
back the loan with interest comes.
Aid, Not
'T'ltE above refers, of course, to the provisions of the relief bill
' relating to money the extension of credit through the
Reconstruction Finance Corporation.
There are other provisions
construction within the states
example.
We haven't the text of the measure, and therefore have only
a general idea of its exact nature; but we fear those who be
lieve even here Uncle Sam is going to hand out cash in prodigal
amounts, and dot the landscape
due for disappointment.
THANKS to the wisdom and
after all Uncle Sam has no money of his own, and the money
he distributes must be provided,
people who benefit by it in other words by the taxpayers of
this country.
There is to be no unprincipled
of the taxpayers' money, if President Hoover can prevent it,
and we advise those already lining up for the opening of the
pie counter, not to oount too heavily upon their assumption
that In spite of the disillusionment of their childhood, Uncle
Sam at last is going to prove THERE IS a Santa Claus.
In short, the sooner the people
other realize that borrowing money will not restore prosperity,
that in faot there is no short
gards the working out of fundamental eoonomio laws the
better for all conoorned.
This federal measure is aid
it is not a fodcral dole nor is it

This is really big news, im

United States, to many great
cities, to other cities still to be

tween the United States and
Canada for the construction of
a great St. Lawrence ocean
ship canal from the Atlantic to
the Great Lakes was signed. It
will cost nearly six hundred
million dollars, twice as much
as the Panama canal, and take
seven years to build.
When the cunal is finished,
Chicago, Detroit, Buffalo,
Cleveland, all cities on the
lakes will be SEAPORTS , as
much as New York, Boston, or
San Francisco.
Food and other product, from ail
farm, within reach of the lakes,
steel from Gary, Buffalo and other
plants, products of all the factories
ot all the lake cities, harvesting ma
chinery, Detroit's automobiles, all
will travel to aU part of the world
BY WATER at low freight raw.
The great cities of the lake win
grow In Importance, wealth, popula

ber of seaport and factories within

words of one syl
lable why rust Is
not a cause of

It Is not only

do my own publishing. At that I
might contrive to do It. were It not
for th large amount of correspond
ence I have to deal with. Not only
the routine questions and answers
but many letters from physicians, not
about personal health, but about Aca
demic questions, and more from
readers who have a desire to protest
or to argue about something I have
said.
It seems to mo that rust Is be
coming obsolete as an Imagined fac
tor of harm. I am sure the Idea
does not crop up nearly so often to
day as it did ten or fifteen years ago
in the letters people write me. It Is
my Impression that even local news
items today are less Insistent on the
point than 'they were a few years
ago.
Anyway rust is never a factor of
Injury or Illness. Rust Is Iron oxide,
and that Is naturally present In many
foods and Is sometimes administered
as a medicine. It can do no possible
harm it one eats or drinks things
that have been contaminated with
rust.
A puncture, scratch or wound tvhat
does not bleed much or at all is
always more dangerous than one that
does bleed, for the bleeding washes
from the wound any germs I the
weapon or Implement may have car
ried into the flesh and planted there.
At least the bleeding tends to cleanse
the wound. It makes no difference
whether the Implement causing the
wound was bright and new or old
and rusty. Nor dees the presence of
verdigris make any difference, nor
paint; nor varnish, nor lacquer, nor
banana oil. e
The germs of septicemia ( acute
blood poisoning) are of course quite
Invisible, and may be present in
virulent form on the cleanest, bright

( WAR MAY COME
-By JOHN R, QUINN,
County Suprvisor, Los Angeles
County.
The upright citizen eschews crime,
but that does not safeguard him
from criminals. This nation might
refuse to go to war under any con
ditions but that would npt assure
safety from attack. If we should
be attacked our losses In lives and
blood might be less without resist
ance, but what of our government's
existence? Who that is truly Ameri
can would not prefer death In de
fense of his freedom to live as a
slave or a poltroon?
Existing world conditions and ex
perience offer no - evidence whatso
ever that America will never again
become involved in armed conflict,
therefore, with all our peace hopes
and activities, we must be prepared
for possible war. Deplore It as we
may, so long as other nations resort
to force to support their wishes we
have no other recourse than to be
ready to meet It In kind.
But "war denies the fatherhood or
Ood and the brotherhood of man,"
noted non-resister Insists. "It
mocks the sacred neas of human life,
Is merciless to helpless women and
children, uses falsehood, ignores Jus
tice, releases the passions and culti
vates hate. War means everything
that Jesus did not mean, and means
nothing he did mean.'
This Is rhetoric, but Is It logic?
War Is not a person; It Is a physical
struggle. Men may make war to
do all the acta the non-resister
rightly condemns; they may make
war to stop such acts. Whether
Jesus meant It or not, he said in
Mathew 10:34: "I come not to send
peace but a sword." thereby intimat
ing he valued righteousness above
peace in the abstract.
Any physical conflict Is a form
of war. Bring the non -resistor's rea
soning to our own communities. It
we should accept It we should have
to discharge our police forces for
they frequently have to club and
the man waa murdered In the course
of "third-degree" proceedings.
The case Is aggravated by the
fact that the young prisoner, 30
years old, was accused of beating
an old woman, mother of one of the
policemen who assisted In the third
degree, and, part of the time, was
alone with the prisoner.
It is not necessary to say any
thing about the cruel brutality ol
such a case.
What Is more important to police
Is the fact that one case of this
kind tndangera the lives of many
policemen snd detective. Criminal
fearing such brutality would shoot

FROM RUST
any case, whether trifling scratch or
large cut or tear, whether the wound
Is made by a clean looking or dirty
looking Implement, by the natural
bleeding aa described and immediate
first aid swabbing of the wound with
common tincture of lodin. Follow
ing this first aid disinfection, tihe
wound should be covered to protect
It from subsequent contamination.
Lockjaw (tetanus) Is best prevented
by the same first aid treatment and
an Immediate Injection of a prophy
lactic dose of an tl -tetanic serum. The
tetanus bacillus Is a natural Inhab
itant of the intestinal tract of do
mestic and wild animals, and Its
spores survive In droppings for many
days at least. Therefore any little
wound sustained while working or
playing about barn or barnyard, re
cently fertilized garden, or in the
street where horses run, should be
carefully treated. Likewise any burn
or wound by fireworks, toy pistol, or
gunshot.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Kerosene As a Remedy
A correspondent who runs a ma
chine shop reports that kerosene Is
the favorite first aid application to
cuts or burns In .his shop. He says
the men prefer It to other remedies,
as It seems to cleanse the wound
and leave a protective film over It,
so that healing occurs without swell
ing or much pain. Then, too, he
says, a few drops of kerosene In
water, used as eye wash, Is a quick
relief for eye inflammation. We
should like to hear from other read
ers about their experience with kero
sene (coal oil).
Drowning
Does water enter the lungs at the
time of drowning? If not, under
what conditions does water enter the
lungs? What amount of water en
ters the stomach? (P. A., Secretary,
Fire Department)
Answer. The presence of water in
the lungs Is regarded as evidance of
death by drowning. But probably it
Is not the water In the lungs that
causes asphyxiation In drowning
cases; It Is rather spasm of larynx or
bronchial tube, brought on by the
entrance of a wee bit of water "the
wrong way" that produces the as
phyxiation. In some cases of fatal
drowning practically no water Is
found in the lungs. Do you know
the right way to perform resuscita
tion, or have you learned the wrong
way from some Red Cross instructor?

envelope bearing a 3 -cent stamp and
I will mall you a booklet on Resus

One school of thought would have
us brand all war as a sin, but unite
with other nations to prevent It by
force If one or more nations should
physically resist the verdict of the
majority. Much emphasis Is laid
on the Brland-Kellogg pact In ef
forts to prove that war Is .com
pletely outlawed and therefore all
preparations for war are unlawful.
Secretary of State Kellogg, a co
author of the pact, speaking before
the American Society of Interna
tional Law, April 28, 1028. said:
"(1) Self-Defense. There Is noth
ing in the American draft of an
anti-war treaty which restricts or
impairs in any way the right oi
self-defense. That right Is inherent
In every sovereign state and Is Im
plicit In every treaty. Every nation
la free at all times and regardless
of treaty provisions to defend Its
territory from attack or invasion and
It alone is competent to decide
whether circumstances require re
course to war In self-defense. If it
has a good ense, the world will ap
plaud and not condemn Its action
Had the Kellogg pact been placed
In effect when our government was
born, it would not have prevented
us from entering a single war In
which we have participated. We
did not renounce all war by signing
the pact, neither did any other sig
natory. That other signatories do
not So understand It Is proven by
the military establishments they
maintain.
America shoutd not have a mili
tary machine which would consti
tute a menace or a threat to the
peace of the world, and no sound
cltleen wants one, but before the
tremendous armament of other
powers we must be able to meet
any emergency. If we are, In kindly
spirit toward our neighbors, there
should be no more reason for object
ing to it than there Is to the dis
position of a righteous man to pro
tect his loved ones at any cost.

to kill. Prisoners that have endured
it, have shot policemen in the past.
The number of such shootings
might increase. The London police,
by their own choice, carry no re
volvers. And criminals are rarely
captured with deadly weapons be
cause they are afraid to use them.

you art hanged. Here you hire a
good criminal lawyer and shoot
somebody else later.

The bill provides that not more

Pinchot wrote the board last night,
asking that $45,000,000 be made Im
