The Acid Test Is Near
7E CAN'T have our cake
and sell more goods abroad. We can't improve domes
tio business and also improve foreign business.
Small wonder, therefore, that the New York exporters, and
Big Business barons are squawking. The former must have
foreign business to live; the latter must have export trade to
maintain their present plants
But with every increase of wages and therefore increase
of commodity prices the foreign market for American goods
declines.
The acid test or one of tbem for President Roosevelt,
predicted in this column six or eight weeks ago, is near at hand,
if it has not already arrived.
He will have to choose between domestie trade and foreign
trade; between the interests of Big Business and what he re
gards as the welfare of this country.
a a
TPHERE is no doubt of the President's choice. He will take
his stand for .domestic trade and the welfare of his country.
But this will mean a fight. No sham battle. A real fight to
a finish.
In the opinion of this newspaper, foreign trade, at least as
it developed following the war, will have to go. After all,
it was not as important as many people suppose.
Our per capita exports in 1931 for example, were only four
per cent of our per capita income and only six per cent of our
per capita production. As Dean Donham of the Harvard
School of Business, has inquired, "Shall we allow such small
percentages to control our future!"
We quote:
"We have lost less than four per cent ot our volume of pro
duction through collapse of foreign trade, but we have lost 4S per
cent to 56 per cent of production In the home market. Shall we
seek to restore the four per cent In tbe International field and to
Increase the volume of manufactured goods several fold, or ehall
we try to regain a far larger volume at home. We cannot do both."
In his Now Plan, President Roosevelt has decided to con
centrate upon larger volume at home. He has adopted the
policy that "by American trade is America made."
It may sound simple but it
cated as any economic problem
a complete revolution in the Big Business structure for Big
Business alone has depended materially upon export trade.
Nevertheless, we believe President Roosevelt will win, for
if he sticks to his guns, he will
and file of the American people. But before it is over he will
be about as popular with captains of big industry, as was his
famous predecessor in the White House, of the Bame name. He
can't have his cake and eat it. He can't enjoy the campaign
contributions he enjoyed in 1932 for example, and continue his
present policies.
Unless we are entirely mistaken in the man, he will sacri
fice his large campaign contributions.
It's Up to the Police
THERE is a very interesting article in the last Colliers on
the making of gangsters, by William Shepherd.
Mr. Shepherd shows that in the last analysis, gangsters are
made by corrupt police and crooked politicians.
Gangs are made up of city boys, who choose crime for two
main reasons, for the money, and for the adventure. Practi
cally all of them are known to the police. But instead of
arresting them the police take tribute from them. One gang
sters a mere child admitted he paid the police over $7000 in
a few years.
The gangsters make easy money from the outset, largely
because they have "fences" where stolen goods can quickly
and snfely be turned into cash.
These "fences" are also known to the police. But instead
of closing them the police protect them and get their cut from
that source, also. Back of the fences and back of the police
of course, arc the shyster lawyers and the crooked politicians.
AN honest and efficient police force, however, in any large
city could clean out tho gangsters in a month, if they were
so disposed. If a go-getter like General (NRA) Johnson, were
placed in charge of a selected body of police in Chicago for
example, he could undoubtedly rid that sink of vice and
iniquity of the professional gunmen, before snow flies.
Such a police force would first close the "fences," then
round up the gang' leaders, and in all liklihood, little more
would need to bo done. With the source of revenue gone, and
leadership gone, Natiue could be left to take ita oourse.
But until we get an efficient and incorruptible police force,
thero is little chance of riding our larger cities, of organized
crime.

the furious flames drew nearer.
Communication with some of the

day to discuss what further steps can
be taken to combat the ravaging
flames. Several thousand men who

THE PHYSICIAN AS STOOL PIGEOX
Headline: Dr. Somebody Indicted
In Holdup Cases.
Tbe story ssys tbst Dr. John J.
Somebody felled
to notify the
police that be
had treated f
patient for gun'
shot wounds and
the grand Jury
Indicted him.
It seems there's
a law, a speclsl
ststute specifying
that a physician
attending a per
son suffering
from gunshot
wounds must notify either the local
police or the state commissioner ot
public safety.
How did the grand Jury lesrn about
the doctor's dastardly conduct? Oh,
another doctor, with whom he con
sulted about the case, ran right
around and Informed the police. A
nasty type, this stool pigeon who
would betray the faith patient puts
In hla doctor rather than commit
a misdemeanor. That's one of tbe
rotten things about Medicine today
too many of that type In practice.
"Dr. stoolplgeon, police aald,
gave them Information which
was extremely valuable In mak
ing the capture (of the alleged
bandit). He explained how the
alleged bandit had been brought
to his office by Dr. Some
body. .
Too bad we can't indict Dr. Stool-
pigeon, for he betrayed the honor
of his profession, the confidence of
his colleague and the faith or trust
of the patient.
Another "special" statute or regula
tion has been enacted In some states,
requiring physicians to report all
cases of gonorrhea or syphilis. 'From
tne first this bss been a dead let
ter, because these diseases occur In
all classes and the physicians cant
afford to betray the confidence of
better class patients, you know.
The law requiring physicians to
report such cases of disease Is more
honored In the breach than the ob
servance. It tloesn't require much
moral courage to break this law.
Such "special" statutes or regula
tions, violate the fundamental princi
ples ot Justice and common welfare.
The common law has alwaya recog
nized the Inviolable secrecy of what
ever a physician learns In his profes
sional capacity, especially knowledge

Communications
Commends County Audit.
To the Editor:
I have read with very much Inter
est your articles regarding the county
audit recently completed.
I had possibly as much Interest In
this during the past year, and In as
close touch with It as the average
taxpayer, and worked laat fall on
the Chamber of Commerce tax com
mittee and have talked to seemingly
hundreds of taxpayers.
It has been the concensus of opin
ion by everyone that there would be
but little discrepancy found In any
records and possibly was a waste ot
money as far as actual need was con
cerned, but still It would be an In
teresting record to have and, above
all other arguments for or against the
incoming new officials were entitled
to an audit.
There is one thing that a study of
the audit should be able to show
and that Is a verification or refuta
tion of stories that we hear In re
gard to the mishandling of money in
the sense that business methods were
quite often not used In Individual
business deals that should have saved
the taxpayers sometimes thousands
of dollars If they had been properly
handled. (This does not appty to
county matters alone, but can be
found wherever publle money Is
handled.)
I do not believe in or would coun
tenance the hurling of baseless ac
cusations (as has been done) but we
aU hear these stories wX possibly I
letters received only a lew can be ans
queries pot conforming to Instruction.
which, If divulged, might Jeopardise
the patlent'a .reputation or safety.
Why not a special statute to pun
ish lawyers who fall to Inform tbe
police when they are consulted by a
client who Is evidently mixed up In
some criminal sftalr? And another
to compel the clergyman to Inform
the police whenever anyone confesses
any crime? And a very special one
to make useful stool pigeons of wives,
mothers or other relatives who may
learn of Implication In crime?
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
I'd Be Pretty Mad Myself
I would like your best opinion of
sodium sulpbocyanate aa used for
treatment of by the medical
fraternity. I have refused to fill
prescriptions where the patient Is
miles from the doctor . . . (P. B. m.)
Answer I know nothing about the
use of the medicine In the condition
you mention. But If I prescribed
It and a druggist refused to fill the
prescription on such ground I'd be
furious, too. It Is scarcely the duty
of the pharmacist to question the
physlclsn's Judgment.
Doctors Disagree
Why should one doctor Insist my
daughter's tonsils should be removed
Immediately, while another assures
me her tonsils do not require re
moval. She haa chronic running ear.
(Mrs. E. 8.)
Answer Perhapa one doctor Is an
old-timer and the other has more
conservative views. The old timers
still regard every tonsil that Is vis
ible as rather a menace. There la a
lot of Bheer hokum practiced by lat
ter day throat specialists and by plod
ding practitioners who take the brass
specialists too seriously. If there la
a septic focus In either tonsil It Is
a question of fsct, not of opinion.
If the doctor .determines that the
tonsil Ls the sest of Infection, be
should eradicate the Infection aa a
first step In the treatment of run
ning ear. But this does not necessar
ily require removal of the tonsils.
I believe It ls preferable In most casea
to eradicate auch a focus of Infec
tion In the tonsil by means ot dia
thermy (electro-coagulation), which
la at least aa efficient as radical
surgery, and both safer and less pain
ful for the pstlent.

hear more of them than 'most folks,
and there must be some basis ol
truth to them, In fact we all know
positively of foolish deals.
The fact that an occasional audit

cause future officials to be more care

NEW YORK, Aug. 26. In the man
ner oi Arnold Bennett's Journals: M.
and I motoring early had a tire blow
out near a larg
ish house. We sat
on a walk bench
to await a petrol
man. A fellow
came u p . and,
looking at the
car. Inquired
"Abandoned?" I
aald "I don't
know." He went
on.
We took break
fast at a tavern
overlooking the
sea at Sheeps-
head Bay.
The only other patron
was a red faced flftytsh man, who
kept Jerking out a biscuit sized
watch, and said many silly things
to the serving maid, etc., etc. Wed
nesday, Thursday and Friday I wrote
7,000 words which I cut to 5,000.
Afterward the car still being un
fixed we sat on a veranda and lis
tened to some amazingly dull talk
by four old Jossers. One said his
son was afflicted with a cussedness.
But I did not hear the rest for the
petrol man came, drunk. We came
back to The City by tram.
In the mall was a letter from a
lady In Vlcksburg, Miss., writing for
the first time on a typewriter. Down
In the corner she affixed, in the
custom of the amanuensis, EWL 1
finger. It reminded me to send for
Mr. Tase, the typewriter repairer. The
"h" In my machine is missing. Sound
ing very Cockneylsh.
. Corey Ford telephoned today he
was burlesquing my column In Van
ity Fair and would I be offended?
I told him decidedly not. The truth
Is I was Immeasurably flattered. His
travesties are searing but never vic
ious. I had an Idea for a magazine
piece while awake last night. That
people who never eat or drink be
tween meals are seldom fat. I have
collated about 60 notable Instances.
Superb weather.
This afternoon I wrote a skit about
the wireless for a Journal, rather
goodish but not deeply Imagined.
Syntax often bad. Will Lengel here
briefly on way to train. He remained
quiet reading a poem book of Keats
while I typed. Then suddenly for
about ten minutes he was brilliant
and walked out without good-bye. He
blushes.
Before taking a cold shower I bad
a longlsh talk with M. We are about
of a mind to buy a picture we both
enjoy to hang In the big room. It
Is by Goodhap In the style of our
mutually admired Poussln. But the
painter little known.
Tea. Lots of ladies with a certain
chic. Frank and Eleanor Grant Sher
idan whom I have not seen in years.
I remembered her debut In Cincin
nati. Frank and his brother both
artists. Not twins but look alike. F.
draws covers for the Saturday Eve
ning Post. A lady from San Fran
cisco, whose name eludes me, spoke
flatteringly of Cobble. Somebody
came through the room drinking beer
out of tin pipkin. A reckless fool.
I sat awhile with Bert Lytell's lovely
Grace. Russell Patterson wondrous
ly prinked In a pink shirt. Cars la
the enclosure all higgledy-piggledy.
We walked home.
Walking I have a continuous tor
rent of ideas and spread-eagle fan
cies. But they are gone at my desk.
But sometimes I think to tell M. and
she Invariably remembers. In the
midst of a stroll I may say In course
of conversation extraneoualy "cafe
with dog menu" and next morning
M. will have Jotted It on my pad.
We drove to East 63d street for
the Lisle Bells and motored toward
Larchmont. I fell to talking about
a house I would like to build some
day, probably in Galllpolls. On a
turn of the road I saw a replica of
the Identical house. It was like a
mirage. But It had been deserted,
weeds grown high and windows
knocked in by boys. We learned from
an agent the owner was Mr. Glvney
who married an actress.
M. suggested Ben Riley's for din
ner, a nice thought. We arrived at

GORKY, TJ. S. 8. R (AP) A se
lect portion of the proletariat of the
Soviet Union now ls to be permitted
to own automobiles.
Most of them are expected to buy
the machines on the Installment plan
for the price of 496S roubles. At gold
par this would equal about 92480.
Marking the first time that auto
mobiles have been sold to private
owners In soviet Russia, the govern
ment has authorized the local plant,
which ls licensed to manufacture
small American cars, to sell COO ma
chines within the next three years to
Its best workers and engineers.
To qualify, as a purchaser, a work
er must have the title of "shock briga
dier," which ls given to only the most
energetic. Also he must have been
employed continuously at the plant
here for not less than a year.
Hitherto the on.y privately owned
cars In Russia belonged to foreigners.
The government found It difficult to
acquire enough for official needs
without trying to market the output
to Its citizens.
But now, the authorities say, the
country ls well launched on mass
production. They predict :hat the
sales to Individuals graduaUy will be
extended.

WHEAT PRICE UP
T SIGNI
CHICAGO, Aug. 26 (AP) All
grains, axcept corn, displayed a firm
er tone today despite the handicap
of light and erratic trading.
Unexpected strength In wheat a
Liverpool where prices were two cents
higher In response to signing of the
International wheat acreage pact led
to scattered buying In Chicago which
hol3tcd wheat one to two cents
bushel. Corn, however, displayed s
sluggish tone and after sullenly fol
lowing wheat higher at the opening,
reacted and dropped below Friday's
finish.
Wheat closed firmer and to 1
cent htgher than Friday's close, corn
weak, to lower, oats unchanged
to H up.

ber In competition with the substi
tutes for lumber.
That ls where the rub will come in,
THE lumbermen are fearful ot -d
what will happen "when they have
to sell their lumber at greatly In
creased prices In competition with
the aubstttutes for lumber. But they
are good sports, and are willing to
TRY,
The least we can do ls to say to
them: "We admire your courage and
your willingness to co-operate. We're
with you In your fight, and will help
all we can.1 '
