It Can't
rilS talk about continuing NRA codes VOLUNTARILY, Is a
waste of time and breath. It can't be done.
Nothing worth while in this direction can be accomplished
unless the same is backed up by the law and backed up
strongly. .
' For the NRA to be effective; must tread on certain toes, de
mand certain sacrifices, and run contrary to long established
business practices.
Unless the compelling force of the law is behind it, and the
enforcement of same backed up
any system of business regulation, won't be worth the paper it
is written on.
"We don't mean there would be no business men to follow
such a course. There would be. But there would also be enough
in every line of industry who wouldn't, enough chiselers and
self seeking profiteers to bring the entire structure down in
ruins within a fortnight.
NO brethren, sweet as the millcnium might be, we are still
several billion miles away from it. . By and large SELF
INTEREST is the ruling motive in the world of business, and
promises for some time so to continue.
With the NRA the law and
provisions would be generally followed, for the very simple rea
son, that the individual who refused to follow them, would not
only have to face the courts, but much more important, public
disfavor. In tfhort; carrying out the codes although involving
momentary sacrifice, would be to his own self interest, in the
end.
But with no such law, even WITH popular support,
any voluntary system of codes, would in the final analysis, only
be carried out by those who found it convenient and profitable
to do so.
They might even represent a majority, but all their efforts
would be in vain, and the system' itself would inevitably collapse,
because of the self seeking and unprincipled minority constantly
boring from within.
No, it can't be done. If a
and business ethics, CAN'T be legally devised and enforced,
then we might as well face the facts and give up the idea
entirely.
In the coutrol of competitive business, under the profit sys
tem, only what can be done under the law, and with the aid of
law enforcement agencies, can bo done effectively.
Time for Clear Thinking
N his determination to wipe out the holding company abuse in
public utilities, we are in hearty sympathy with President
Roosevelt.
We agree with him that under the New Deal, no repetition
of the Insull scandal, or the greedy profiteering and unprinoi
pled financial manipulation, which has disgraced so many utility
holding companies, SHOULD BE 1'OSSIBLE.
Drastic reforms in this department of Big Business are need
ed and should be carried out, just as reforms in banking, and
stock exchange methods are needed and should be carried out.
In this department of the New Deal we are back of the admin
istration, 100.
ffort .to discredit Roosevelt's entire reform propram, as
radical, communistic and destructive, will undoubtedly be made
In fact it has alrady started. 'We note in the press dispatches,
that. the Liberty League sounds a clarion call for a defense of
the Constitution, and calls for a popular uprising asrainst the
president's determination to DESTROY legilimuto business.
In the atmosphere of political reaction, which the Supreme
Court decision hns unquestionably created, it tnkos no seventh
son of a seventh son, to see that the administration's entire re
form program is now seriously endangered.
It is, therefore, a time for people to keep their heads, refuse
to become stampeded by the sounding of capitalistic alarms and
beating of Big Business tom-toms, and analyze this reactionary
propaganda carefully before they accept it.
I -HE most, superficial examination should show any thought-
fill person, that in his determination to stamp out the most
clnring abuses of the capitalistic system, the president, far from
seeking to DESTROY that system, is seeking to I'RESKRVK it.
lie has no quarrel, and has so repeatedly stated, with
LHtilTIMATE business. with honest, right thinking business
of any sort, be it large or small : administered in the corn belt
or in Wall Street.
Why should he? Business is the life Mood of the country.
Its success is not only essential to nnticuial growth and security;
but from a purely personal and selfish standpoint is essential
to the president's re-election.
A lib President Roosevelt
the system which he
any other one thing for the catastrophe which overtook us, and
from which we. s a people, are just beginning to emerge, lie
wishes no repetition of that disaster, but believes unless RADI
CAL changes in the economic set-up are made, such a repetition
will be inevitable.
That's the entire New Deal in a nut shell. One may agree or
disagree with its particular methods or details, but certainly no
right thinking person can question the desirability, or the essen
tially constructive character of ita POtTO'f.r'.S.
IT is, in our opinion, highly important that the people of the
country as a whole, keep their eyes open and clearly focused
upou the main issues of this New Deal, at the present time, and
not be misled by the drive that has already started, to dis
credit, it.
The Supreme Court decision has raised a sm"ke screen, and
given a certain superficial validity to entirely selfish and mer
cenary propaganda, behind which much harm to the country and
its welfare can be done.
The only successful defense will be stubborn resistance, care
ful analysis, and mighty clear thinking on the part of the rank
and file of the people!

ECZEMA IN
As nearly aa I can learn, there 1b
no eczema aJiy more. It Is dermatitis
now. .AJter all. eczema was always
Oreek to moat of us., and tetter or
,fXrfi,;.;-zr.-r rvjm- m, Rait rhfiUm WdS
no better. Der
matins means
simply Inflam
mation of the
skin, and that Is
a diagnosis one
can make with
out committing
oneself. If this
seems cagey
ovcrcautt o u a to
your wiseacre lay
mind, no matter.
I believe a good
doctor nouid not take ror granted
the nature, cause or proper treat
ment of any skin Inflammation until
he has studied the patient, the be
havior of the trouble, the environ
ment.
A familiar feature of skin inflam
mation which was formerly consider
ed characteristic of eczema Is "weep
ing" or a watery discharge, and this
fluid exudate on drying becomes
sticky and then forms a, crust. But
it is still dermatitis, and there Is no
specific or typical form of skin trou
ble which can be distinguished from
dermatitis under the name of "ec
zema." The last of the old timers made an
attempt to distinguish eczema from
dermatitis by arbitrarily assuming
that It is eczema if there Is no vis
ible or evident cause or irritant ros
ponslMo for the skin Irritation, and
dermatitis If the cause Is some ob
vious external irritant. But today no
one quibbles about the name to ap
ply, for what does it matter when
there is no specific remedy or treat
ment for the trouble?
Dr. E. Schlff. of University of Ber
lin, considers the eczema or derma
titis of older children a nutritional
condition rather than allegrlo (that
Is. due to some foreign or food pro
tein to which the child Is iwnsltlzed).
He has found a diet of raw fruits and
vegetables beneficial In these com
mon skin troubles of children.

CHILDREN
For children three years of age or
older he uses an exclusively raw fruit
and vegetable diet for ten days to
two weeks, with fruit Juices as the
only fluid. Later the child may have
cooked vegetables, prepared with an
oil or with sweet (unsalted) butter,
meat, bread, and finally a single cup
ful of milk diluted with malt cof
fee (at breakfast) and the yolk1 of
one rgg daily. All food should be
prepared without salt and only un
salted buttr used.
While the child is on this diet the
irritated or inflamed portions of skin
may be kept protected with a simple
zinc oxold ointment. The diet should
be continued for several months, Dr.
Schlff says, and not stopped as soon
as the skin seems normal. He does
not explain, but I venture to suggest
that the good effects of such & diet
may be attributed to the Increased
vitamin Intake. Fruits and fruit
