MEMBER
Time to Take Bearings
WITH the purposes of the New Deal this paper is in hearty
accord. These purposes are mainly two:
First, to restore material prosperity.
Second, to have that prosperity, "WHEN restored, more fairly
distributed among the people, as a whole.
Sounds simple enough. But it is probably the most compli
cated and difficult task that any government of this country
has ever set out to accomplish.
W
ISELT, or unwisely, the
tried and is still trying
time.
That is, instead of concentrating upon the. restoration of
prosperity, and with economic health and vigor returned, THEN
concentrating upon economic and social reform; it has adopted
the policy of forcing reform and prosperity to go hand in hand.
This may well be the wisest course. In fact, it may be, the
ONLY practical course. But it has obvious difficulties, for
business reform and business revival, don't hitch well together.
It is rather like hitching up an elephant and a draft horse.
Plenty of power there. But the horse has an inbred terror of an
elephant, which renders any team play, impossible, and a run
away highly probable. Business has an inbred terror of reform.
I I OWEVER thus far, the incongruous combination has
worked surprisingly well. A large number of far reaching
and fundamental reforms have been accomplished, on one hand;
and on the other, business in this country HAS materially im
proved. But in the opinion of this newspaper the time for discontinu
ing this horse-and-elephant combination has about been reached.
In other words, in our opinion, reform should be sent to the
stablo for a while, and business recovery should be allowed to
go along, unhampered in single harness.
By this we don't mean dropping the regulatory measures im
posed, or beating any retreat from basic principles, we merely
mean dropping those measures, which plainly have not worked
out, retaining those which have,
tive assurance than has been given, that for THE TIME BEING
more radical changes in business practices, arc not anticipated,
the war is over, legitimate business can now forget its baseless
fears, and go full steam ahead.
IITE believe such a pronouncement from the "White House at
this time, would not onlv be a ereat thine for the counrrv.
but a great thing for the Roosevelt administration. It would
clear the atmosphere. It would in the end, make genuine re
form, less difficult to accomplish,
tion to be performed in an atmosphere of faith and public confi
dence ; instead of in an atmosphere of fear and doubt.
The Wrong Idea
A MONG the socallcd New Deal experiments which we believe
should be abandoned, is that of the government going into
direct competition with private business.
We referred to one of these experiments in' this column a few
weeks ago, namely Uncle Sam taking up the business of mat
tress manufacture.
We doubted the accuracy of
day before yesterday Paul Mallon
paper, confirmed it.
In its administration of FERA, the government is starting
out to manufacture a million mattresses, in its own establish
ment, using the unemployed on its pay rolls.
Now that, we feel, is all wrong. The purpose of the New
Deal is not to establish socialism, in whole or,ih part, it is to
retain the form of government
it will VORK. Toward this end, the firstiep is to revive pros
perity UNDER it, restore social nnyeonomic well being,
THROUGH its ESTABLISHED clian-Js.

IF the government needs mattr :-,cs it should purchase them

tend to inTcnse employment, add to the profits of legitimate
and honest business, and revive
llie mattress nianmacturcrs
against this action and we believe their protest is entirely
justified.
Why SHOULD tlio government take over part of tho busi
ness of the mattress manufacturers t If it has the right to take
over part of that business, then it has the right to tako over
part of the furniture business,
business ar.d every other business.
t
"ViViOUSLY that is not its
those who happen to make
an-; entirely unjust burden unon
nnciple ami destructive in practice.
pi IIS is one of the features of the New Deal to which we have
referred in the past, as modifying our complete approval
of it. As stated at the start of this article we are heartily in
favor of it as a whole, and in thorough sympathy with its essen
tial purposes. Wo believe a New Deal IS demanded; and Presi
dent lioosevolt today represents the only hope of getting it.
Hut when it comes to the government entering directly into
competition with established business, as a BY PRODUCT of
that New Dent, we lire absolutely opposed to that feature of it.

HOW SMOKING SPOILS THE LEGS.
The patient, born in America of
Jewish parents, was 33 years old, and
bad been a heavy smoker all his life,
or since boyhood.. He smoked about
SO cigarettes a day.
rir - He complained
of extreme pain
caused by a foul
necroctic ulcer of
the left great toe.
Periarterial sym
pathectomy had
already been
done by a sur
geon, without
benefit. The pa
tient had received
morphine in large
quantities, with
out avail.
There was still some feeble circula
tion In the foot. The patient was
advised to give up smoking at once
and absolutely. He was given salt solu
tion Injections Into the vein. He was
put to bed and kept there. Wet anti
septic dressings were kept on the
ulcer. Spontaneous amputation of the
gangrenous toe occurred, and after
thirteen months the loot was entirely
healed. Surreptitious smoking prob
ably accounted for the unusual dura
tion of healing time.
In reporting this case the physician
reports a dozen similar cases, of
thrombo-angltls obliterans, nearly
all In young Russian Jews who
smoked excessively. Many of them
lost a foot or part of the foot from
gangrene and amputation. One was of
Scotch descent. He had a gangrenous
ulcer near the end of the right great
toe. He had adhered rigidly to
"salt-free" diet and lost considerable
weight. He began to gain In weight
and strength when this diet was dis
continued. I am expecting before long the first
crop of one-legged women. The
wishy-washy ones haven't been so
phisticated quite long enough yet. It
takes about twenty years to get
thrombo-anglitls obliterans and gan
grene. First there Is redness and pain In
the limb for many months before any
sign of gangrene appears.
Better rest a bit rather than light
a stinky whenever you feel weary,
fagged or bored. It's easier on the
legs.
There Is no reason that I know of.

long been an epic of the halls, but

think his play should have received
the whatyoucalllt prize. When he
was called to Hollywood It appeared
Inevitable that the epic of poor white

But someone thought of Barton.
He went Into the role at the peak of
the hottest weather, filling the. shoes
of a performer who had singularly
distinguished himself. And gushed a
Jet of histrionic history. So much
so, a major film firm Immediately
signed him for stardom.
Then there is Morton Downey whose
thin tenor curling from midriff has
been heard so frequently over the

Only I believe children are more likely

too, if we are to Judge from the propa

smokers as a class must be pretty
feeble. Certainly they are asked to
accept some preposterous notions.
It was astonishing to find a Scotch
man threatened with the loss of a

It would seem that he should have

any man with a modicum of charity
In his heart ought to feel too guilty
in throwing away at least a third of
what he spends for cigarettes. What
he throws, away, if Invested In a can

Raw Eggs Versus Cooked.

that because they are not good for

partly digested when the egg ts taken
raw, but is completely digested If the

Ho. hoi Mr. Truai: you remind me
of a child with a good piece of candy.
It la bound to awallow It In one bite,
instead of nibbling It and make It
last longer. How would you spend the
second month's 300? You wouldn't
buy two pairs of shoes and two more
suits. And you wouldn't want to go
all those pieces ao soon again. Aa for
myself I think I could spend a few
thousand the first month Just getting
settled In the average comfort, but
I would be content with MOO for two
people. And do a little budgeting on
the year oasis.
I didn't think two old people 80
years old could possibly spend MOO
every month In complete Idleness.
And furthermore, can anybody name
Just on. old person who would be
content with Idleness? No, of course
you can't. Old people like to be busy.
If Dr. Townsend had planned $100

stead of 60 years, mora people would
