George Washington
GEORGE WASHINGTON, whose birthday is celebrated to
day, has we think, received rather a raw deal from pos
terity. Ask the average citizen about George Washington, and aside
from reciting the early myths of the' cherry tree and the in
ability to tell a tie, he will fall back upon the equally Epocryphal
contention that the first President of the United States, was
this country's first isolationist.
The familiar phrase condemning entangling alliances will be
taken from Washington's farewell address to prove the latter
point.
.
THIS does a great injustice to the Father of his Country.
Washington did declare it's "our true policy to steer clear
of permanent alliances with any
But what was the condition of
at THAT timet Europe was in a turmoil, France in the throes
of a bloody revolution, with the spectre of Napoleon soon to
appear on the horizon. The United States, merely an infant and
not a lusty one, had just emerged from a revolution of its own,
was virtually without an army, a navy, or an established currency.
Believe it or not, there were
America then who still deplored
the other hand, the rank and file,
they demanded the government again take sides against Eng
land and support the revolution. The administration, faced by
domestic problems of extreme gravity, was constantly harassed
by opposing factions, and the resulting dissension and confusion
threatened to bring complete disaster.
Under such circumstances, of course, the only statesmanlike
and patriotic thing to do was to steer absolutely clear of en
tangling alliances of ANT kind. Every energy and every
resource were needed to keep the struggling ship of state afloat.
The only hope of survival was to keep out of European politics
ENTIRELY.
BUT because this policy of absolute independence was enunci
ated 150 years ago, it has been taken as justification for a
policy TODAY, of super-nationalism, selfishness and isolation;
a refusal, not to join with one armed faction in Europe against
another, but to join with, all the civilized nations of the world,
in the promotion and preservation of world peace.
There is no reuson whatever,
ington were here today, he would advocate the same interna
tional policy, that every President in the Whito House has advo
cated since the world war, a policy of friendliness, co-operation
and mutual help.
For, as far as the world court
EVERY President from Harding to Franklin D. Roosevelt has
endorsed it The League of Nations was not defeated bv execu'
tive action, but by the congress. George Washington was too
big a man, too wise a man, to believe, that in this day and age
the richest and most powerful
try to live by itself alone, and
tell the rest of the world go
peace is concerned.
ONE reason for this misinterpretation of Washington's char
acter, perhaps proceeds from the fact that as John Adams
romarked "off the record", the first president of the United
States was a "wooden head."
' This remark was made in" a
no doubt that Washington lacked what is now generally known
as personality warmth charm, there was no doubt a certain
wooden quality about him, an unresponsiveness, an aloof
dignity but it was purely a temperamental deficiency, no de
ficiency in character, mind or heart.
1 Because of this deficiency however, it has not been difficult
to retouch the Washington portrait, nnd make him appear the
symbol of selfish isolation suspicion, fear, a sort of William
Randolph Hearst in knee breeches and a powdered wig, when
those who have read their history, know he was nothing of the
sort.
Nevertheless it is' doubtful
will ever he accepted and appreciated, by the American people
as a whole, at least in this generation.
We feBr it is somehow his fate

generally so regarded. Both devoted heart and soul to their
country's welfare, both unselfish to a degree, both efficient ami
courageous. But both somehow lacking in the qualities that
arouse enthusiasm, devotion and what is the word, (well for
want of a better one) mass affection.
President Washington was never properly appreciated. Nor
was or is President Hoover. The first president of his conn
try, was even threatened at one time with impeachment. He
retired to his Mt. Vernon homo, tired, disillusioned and discour
aged. Only alter his death did lie achieve anything approaching
national popularity.
Former President Hoover appears to be suffering a similar
fate. He has conducted himself with great dignity and good
taste since his retirement. His comments upon the present ad
ministration have been few and fur between. What he has said
has been in the way of constructive criticism points which from
the conservative view point arc no doubt well taken.
But the reaction from them has ranged from indignation to
general apathy.
It is a striking fact, that Mr. Hoover's recent pronouncement

THE BULDING
Metabolism Is the sum of chemi
cal changes by which material Is
assimilated and used In the growth
and life of plante
or animals. ,The
building up or
constructive part
of metabolism or
nutrition Is called
catabolism.
Terms more fa
miliar to the lay
man are atrophy
and hypertrophy,
meaning lack of
growth or wast
ing and over
growth or en
largement respec
tively. These are, of course, faults ot
metabolism, disorders of nutrition.
The normal, perfect or Ideal state
of nutrition Is called eutrophy. Any
Imperfection or fault of nutrition Is
called dystrophy.
People who consider It shrewd to
go directly to a "specialist" when
ever they are ailing, do not get far
nowadays before some brass spec
ialist has a basal metabolism test
charged against them. Tnls Is a par.
lor trick of modern ma-chlne Medi
cine. For years I have been trying
to learn what It Is all about, but
my quest has been futile. I am still
unable to see what good a baBal
metabolism test does anybody ex
cept the nurse or technician, who
trundles the machine to the bed
side and perhaps the chattering
patient who goes out and abashes
Into envious silence her bridge
friends as she recites her extraord
inary plus or minus records.
No doubt I am not. sufficiently
awed, by these mechanical marvels
the brass specialists uee so freely
In lieu of diagnostic skill, but I
declare I believe a bright office girl
can as readily take the basal meta-.
holism readings, add 'em up, divide
by (25 and hand the simple cus
tomer a sheaf of clinical data and
some stereotyped health advice. Just
as well as a brass specialist can.
Eutrophy Is what physicians have
In mind when they say a patient
is "well nourished." It means not
merely normal metabolism or nu
trition but normal growth. When a
doctor observes that a patient or
perhaps one limb Is "poorly nour
ished," he dees not imply that the
patient has not had enough to eat. !
I think popular confusion about
this is responsible for a good deal
of misdirected effort In feeding
underprivileged" classes. It has not
been made sufficiently plain to the
laity that in most cases where phy
sicians find children "poorly nour
ished." "undernourished" or "mal
nourished" the condition is not one
of deprivation, poverty or Insuffi
cient food, but rather unintelligent
feeding. Children of the well to do
are quite as frequently "poorly
nourished" as are children of the
poor.

BL'SINESS,
What we are Just beginning to
understand as deficiency diseases
sre due to faults In the selecting,
purifying, refining, preserving, stor
ing, cooking and serving of food
at table, not to lack of proper
food.
Heretofore we have recognized
clearly only a few of the more pro
nounced maladies due to nutritional
deficiencies, notably rickets, scurvy
and berl-beri (polyneuritis). More
over we have recognised these de
ficiency diseases only when they
were well advanced and grave or
ganic degeneration had occurred.
Thanks to newer knowledge, acquired
primarily through' animal experi
mentation, physicians today can de
tect deteriorations or deficiencies of
nutrition In the early stages when
there Is merely "functional" weak
ness, and from the therapeutic test
we know these partial masked de
ficiency disorders are quite preva
lent In all classes of men, women
and children.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
Sanitation.
Tour opinion of the public toilet
as a transmitter of diseases. W.
R. O.
Answer There Is little or no evi
dence that disease Is transmitted in
that way.
Hernia Cured.
Dr. to whom you recom
mended me for hernia treatment has
cured my hernia, with five Injec
tions, tho to make sure he gave me
two injections after we had effected
the cure. Operation was out of the
question for me. and the wearing
of a truss was constant torture . . .
R. W. B.
Answer Sh-sh-sh! Don't let the
anonymous "well known surgeons"
know about It And don't let the
Pooh-Bah of the A. M. A. learn of
it either. They are busy circulating
lcng-wlnded hearsay opinions that
the ambulant treatment Is not suc
cessful. It would embarrass the self
constituted "authorities" to know
how many thousands of patients are
getting hernias cured without the
formality of a major operation.
Night Bllndnes.
I am 34 years old, and have had
night blindness for several years,
also considerable difficulty tn hear
ing. Saw some allusion In your
column to special diet . . . I. J. H.
Answer Eat all the escarole, spin
ach, raw carrots. American cheese.
Parmesan cheese, cream cheese, but
ter, liver and eggs you can. Take
a tablespoonful of'cod liver oil dally.
These are the richest sources of
vitamin A. Please report whether you
derive benefit.

Comment
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
YOU have noted, perhaps, this
headline: "Government Experts
Study Gold Decision."
Possibly, since the government
seems to have won st practically ev
ery point In the decision, you have
wondered why it experts should give
such careful study to the court's rul
ing. Why don't they Just accept the de
cision, and let It go at that?
WELL, there are reasons.
The New Deal, as far as It has
gone, at least. Is based pretty largely
on heavy government spending. If
the government Is to go on spending
as it has been, spending. It will have
to to on BORROWING heavily for
its expenditures are out of all pro
portion to its Income from taxes.
If the government Is to go on bor
howlng, people must go on LENDING
HERE Is a question that probably
has entered the minds of these
government experts referred to In the
headlns: I
"Will people go on lending indefi
nitely If the government can and I
DOES borrow one kind of money and i
pay back another?" I
THIS gold decision business doesn't
revolve wholly around what the
government can and can not LE
OALLY do with money. An import
ant part ot It has to do with whether
people who have money will go on
lending it when they no longer know
what kind of money they'll be paid
back with.
4-e '-
BUT. by this time, you're probably
wearied to extinction with this
gold decision business.
So let's turn to something else.
IN GERMANYthTother day, two
women, PROMINENT women, were
executed secretly by BEHEADING.
The crime of which they were AC
CUSED was giving away Germany's
military secrers.
Perhaps they were guilty. Possibly
they were not. But bear this In mind:
Germany Is ruled by a dictatorship
and If the dictator doesn't like the
way you wear your hair, or resents
the manner in which you tie your
necktie, he can have you accused of
treason and fcXKCUTED.
THESE dictatorships are bad busi
ness, and the farther we keep
away from them In this country the
better off we shall be.
ANOTHER item of Interest In the
news of the dsy these words
were written:
The house, down at Salem. Is peev
ed at the senate, because the senate
Is SLOW about about passing bills
especially house bills. So the house
threatens that unless the senate gets
a move on it will start In killing off
senate bills.
THAT situation prompts this casual
question:
If the senate should kill off all
the house bills and the house should
kill off all the senate bills, so that
no further legislation whatever would
be enacted by the Oregon legislature.
Just how ANGRY would the average,
ordinary, everyday citizen of Oregon
be?
