The President 's Message
CONTRARY to advance rumors there was nothing startling in
President Roosevelt' message to congress. The message
was sensible rather than sensational. Taken by and large it
veered to the right rather than the left.
The most definite feature of the message was the abandon
ment of the dole. This had been pretty well anticipated in ad
vance predictions. It means the administration is more con
cerned with the morale of relief than its cost; the human factor
is placed above dollars and cents. This is entirely in harmony
with the Democratic tradition and the New Deal.
THE President favors an enlargement of the public works
program, and the abandonment of direct relief, as far as
the government is concerned. If his suggestions are carried out,
WORK relief will become a government function; DIRECT
relief a local function. An increase in the LOCAL relief burden
and a decrease in the FEDERAL- relief burden will follow, as a
matter of course.
In declaring that this new departure will be "under the
framework and in the spirit of the American Constitution" as
well aa "within the sound credit of the government" marks that
turn to the right so frequently urged by the conservative forces
of the country.
The chief criticism of the opposition ever since the New Deal
was launched, has been on the ground of impairment of federal
credit, through a failure to bulance the budget; and the impair
ment of constitutional guarantees through the building up of a
bureaucratic dictatorship. To maks this veering to the right
even more emphatic the President went out of his way, t re
affirm his faith in the profit system, and to assure the country,
that in this program of federal relief, the governmcnut will do
everything in its power, to eliminate direct competition with
private business,
a a a
I.T spite of this conciliatory attitude toward, what might be
termed the business group in this country. Wall Street re
fused to accept the message with any noticeable cheers. At any
rate stocks wobbled about and finally went down. Well, ample
ground may be found in the message to justify this reaction
from the boys milling about the New York stock exchange. For
they arc still suffering from shell shock, and nothing but the
impossible is going to restore their morale. By the "impossible"
we mean turning the clock of progress back, to the old days and
the old deal.

And again after upholding the profit motive, and favoring
the divorce of Government from direct competition with private
business:
"EU. America must foreswear that conception of the acquisi
tion or wealth which through excessive profits, create undue
power over private affairs, and to our misfortune over public
Affairs aa well."
And finally;
"Among the subject that He Immediately before ua is
the restoration of sound conditions In the publlo utilities field,
through abolition of the evil features of the holding companies."
Nothing here to alarm the enlightened and forward-looking
business man, but Wall street, unfortunately, is neither.

tism, his determination to chart a new path in national progress,
but to route that path, neither to the extreme right nor the ex
treme left, but in the middle of the road. From the maiu pur
poses of the New Deal he will not be swerved; he is determined
as far as it is humanly possible, to better the condition of the
people of this country AS A WHOLE, to secure a fairer and
more equitable distribution of wealth, to eliminate graft and
greed; but he intends to bring this about, within the capitalistic
system and under the constitution of the United States, not by a
revolutionary radicalism on one hand, or a conservative dictator
ship (Fascism) on the other.
In thus striking a balance between the two extremes of politi
cal thought in this country, the President loses some of the color
nnd inspirational appeal found in his former messages; but gains
greatly in soundness and stability.
Committed as he is to opposition to the cash bonus, and
through Mrs. Roosevelt to such radical economic heresies as the
Townsend Pension plan, this message undoubtedly marks a very
important step in President Roosevelt's political life. For it
places the President definitely on the defensive against the
cceBomio extremists in this country, and marks the start of a
political realignment, which may find Franklin D. Roosevelt,
paradoxical as this may sound, eventually fighting with the
co-servatives against the radicals; instead of the other way
around.
Whether or not this will be a permanent condition and
Franklin D. will go down in history as a Conservative president,
depends upon how far and even more important how FAST the
industrial and economic revolution which followed the world
war, will travel.

MALNUTRITION AMONG THK VUXL TO DO
( 'ry
"mm
What physicians call dystrophy Is
more familiar to the laity aa "mal
nutrition." Perverted nutrition la the
concept the doc

not Imply that
the patient haa

other hand It
does mean that
the food baa not
been adequate for tne essential re
quirement of the body, and the food
of the wealthy Is quite aa likely to
be Inadequate aa la the food of tne
poor.
Here la a reason why good doctors
do not concern themselves much
about the noble efforts bf various
benevolent organizations, clu-a or as
sociations to provide free meals for
school chlKrea In the porer districts,
tad all that Lady Bountiful bui.nesa.
Only within the past year or two
we have learned to recognize tieterl-
oratlons or nutritional cteflcleraclea In
tfce early stages when there to merely
"functional" weakness; and by the
therapeutic test we can prove that
these partial, masked, vague deficien
cy disorders or health impairments
are quite common in all classes of the
population. By therapeutic test I
mean the administration of an opti
mal ration of the vitamin or vitamins
In which the patient is deficient, or
the mineral elements, or the vitamins
and minerals combined.
Now X have no Intention of describ
ing symptoms for readers to try on.
We'll leave the symptor a or com
plaints for patients to recite to their
own doctor. But for example suppose
patient complains of, oh, say. an-
hedonia I reckon that will have
most of you out on a limb and the
examination reveals no evident cause
for It, save a curious dietary obsession
or habit which might derive the pa
tient of one or more vitamins In the
amounts nece&sary lor eutrophy hah,
've already defined that in an earlier
piece, but once more it means normal
or perfect nutrition. Well and good.
the doctor has only to prescribe the
necessary vitamins and Instruct the
patient to call again In a week. When
the patient calls again, if the diag
nosis wae correct, it will be with
smiles. That's a therapeutic test, and
It la the best modern preventive med
icine. If your doctor doesn't practice
that way, he's an old fogy, and you
may tell him I said so.
Food or nutrition chemists some
times get a large head (hypertrophy
of the coco) and attempt to tell the
public Just what sort of diet or food
will prevent or cure this and that
complaint. That Is sheer quackery,
no matter how eminent the chemist
may be in his own field. Hs is not
qualified by training or expernce to
diagnose the maladies for which he
prescribes. He professes knowledge of
pathology and diagnosis, of which he
knows little or nothing. That's quack
ing it or Noah Webster is a liar.

Work more, produce more and
HAVE MORE Is the only policy that
will bring prosperity over any consid
erable period of time.
nEOPLE who profess to be thinkers
are telling us that since the ma

thing for all of us Is to work fewer
hours and have more leisure.

To the Editor:
The article of George Schumacher
"la the Townsend Plan Possible?"
estimates the entire Income from all
sources for the 50.000 people tn this
valley at $7,000,000 per year. When
boiled down this means an Income
of $170 per year or (14.00 per month
as an average Income for each of our
Inhabitants.
If this Is correct what must be the
minimum as there are a lot of peo
ple who get much more than M4
per month.
I would like to repeat the old story
of a stranger who was a guest at a
hotel and on leaving for a week's
absence gave the hotel proprietor a
SMi 00 bill for safekeeping until his
return. The hotel man betng short
of money used the tf0 bill to pay the
tailor hla long overdue bill for a
suit of clothes. The tailor paid the
fifty to the dentist who passed It to
the grocer to settle his account. The
frocer paid his clerk the fifty dot
lar bill on his salary and the clerk
paid the hotel man the same fifty
to settle his board bill. At the end
of the week the stranger came back
and the hotel proprietor returned the
fifty dollar bill to Ite owner. The
stranger said he was Just keeping
the 930 hill as a souvenir aa It was
a bogus bill that had been parsed on
him and he m-ftt afraid to carry It
lest he might accidentally paw It
and thereby get into trouble with his
Uncle Sam.
All of which bring to mind that
after all the exchange of commodi
ties is what makes prosrertty and
