Mussolini and World Opinion
AN event in the news, demonstrates the power of public
opinion. Not organized, or even articulate public opinion,
but public opiuion as an imponderable, public opinion in the
mass.
The unexpected "backdown" of Italy at Geneva, for exam
pl Why did the Italian delegation suddenly modify its attitude
overnight!
fX Thursday, Baron Pompeo Aloisi, was truculent, defiant.
Italy was detemined to wage war against Ethiopia, "with
the League, without the League, or against the League."
There would be no compromise. Mussolini would not accept
the ruling of any committee, on which citker France or England
were represented.
Italy would not accept Ethiopia as an equal, or as a member
of the League.
If Ethiopia stayed in, Italy would get out. The Italian
delegation even refused to remain in the conference room, while
Ethiopia's representative had the floor.
TWENTY-FOUR hours later all wan changed. Objections to
France and England sitting in oh the arbitration committee
were withdrawn. The refusal to sit at the council table, if
Ethiopia's representatives were present, was withdrawn. For
the first time in a month, hope of averting war in Abyssinia, was
revived.
How come? What had happened, to cause this right about
face!
TTIE force of public opinion of world opinion is the answer.
We can't support, this statement by any concrete evidence,
on the other hand, we have no doubt whatever of its truth.
Moreover, by the process of elimination, one arrives at the
same conclusion. What else COULD have brought about this
change of front. There had been no change in the essentials of
the situation.
But sometime between Thursday afternoon and Friday morn
ing, something had penetratd the Mussolini consciousness, to
give II Duce, pause. It was undoubtedly the realization, that if
he persisted in his "rule or ruin" policy, the entire civilized
world would be against him.
aIUSSOLINI comes as near being completely self sufficient,
self confident, fearless and ruthless, us any absolute ruler,
in the world today.
He had the power to go ahead, as he had threatened. There
were no obstacles in his path, as far as force, or even coercive
action, were concerned. His sabre rattling had worked to per
fection, up to then.
But at the Inst moment he faltered. The answer is: even
II Duce, who fears neither "God, man or the devil" DOES fear
world opinion or he did, for a sufficient length of time, to
bring about a radical modification of his program.
Whether or not this "seeing the light", will be lasting or only
temporary, only the future can disclose.
But the incident certainly demonstrates, that whether public
opinion has or has no,t a medium of expression, in this day and
age, just what the people THINK may be a vital factor in shap
ing the destiny of the world.

Strikes and Violence
T1TE are indebted to the Portland Oregonian for the following
" timely editorial reprinted from the Oregon Labor Press
condemning violence in labor strikes:
Trade unionists of Portland used to read about and
sometimes listen to stories of graft, racketeering, shooting
and depredations of hired thugs who o-.ernted under
direction of trade union executives in far-away cities and
were heard proudly to remark that, no part of the labor
movement of Portland had ever been implicated in things
of that nature.
And we were not until recently. During the past
year there have been considerable violence, fights aud
destruction of property in connection with union affairs
and it was all climaxed Inst week hv the shooting of a
non-union woodsnwver.
Two men have confessed to the shooting. They further
alleged Hint the secretary of the woodsayers' union hired
them to do the shooting and paid them $100 for the job.
They also alleged that the secretary agreed to pay them
$'-'.") for each man they "beat up." The gangsters are not
members of any union so far as we know. It appears they
are professional thugs.
Their "confessions" were gained by police and detec
tives after hours of grilling.
There is a chimeo Hint the whole thing may have been
framed to discredit the unions. We arc not ready to
admit that the union officials are guilty. They should be
given fnirjintl impartial trial. If, after that is done,
they are proven guilty, they should receive no further
support from orennied labor, and should receive punish
lent coiiimcnsiiiatc with the crime.
The trade union movement of this country was not
built by strong gnu methods and cannot progre under
flint systcOi. You can't make union men by beating them
up and you can't maintain the confidence and respect of
employers and the public, by destroying propertv.
condition in which the labor movement of Port
!0Od ?.nt' itself today is due in a large measure to the
i0pid end abnormal growth of the movement. Thousands
of untrained, undisciplined men and women have joined
the organisation smarting under the injustices they were
coopelled to endure from their employers before they
cre organized. In this frame of mind they are the easy
dupes of extremists, who have come into tbo organizations
fur this purpose of "boring from within" to wreck the
unions.
TlMjycat majority of the trado unionists of this com
munity have their feet on the ground.
They do not approve of strong-arm methods. They
have no svinpatliy with the shooting, beating, property,
destroying plan of organising and will do all they can to
purge the movement of this curse.

THE IDIOP ATH1C BUNK
1 " WWi 'rw'.
Many a commentator has turned In
a smart crack about the bombast of
the medical fraternity. Some truth
in It, too. For Instance, when we
don't know any
thing about a
malady we In
st I n c t ively at
tempt to conceal
our ignorance
under an impos
ing name or a bit
of ponderou
language. One of
the old stand-
bys for that pur
pose Is the ad
jective ldlopath
tc. In perfect
candor mat means we don't know,
but it Is undignified and dangerous
for the doctor in practice to say
frankly that he doesn't know. I tried
It time and again, and Invariably I
lost prestige and practice. The doc
tor must at least make believe he
knows, or the patient will go to an
other doctor who Is more competent
at that.
These primary anemias chlorosis
(the green sickness), pernicious ane
mia, hypochromic anemia and leuk
emia, are all more or less ldlopathls.
If I were quite consistent I should
now grab my pipe and my bowls and
dig for the bowling green. There is
really nothing more to be said, but
I must give the old customers an
other column or two or they will feel
disappointed.
The other day I advertised for a
case of chlorosis, the green sickness,
and gave a detailed description of
that now nearly extinct type of ane
mia, to learn whether any of our
readers might know of a case.
Today I'll sketch the salient fea-
tures of hypochromic anemia, which
has npparently superseded chlorosis
In the past twenty years, being as
common today as chlorosis was In the
gay nineties.
The blood picture of hypochromic
anemln Is the same as that of chloro
sis a great dlmunltlon In the color
ing matter ( hemoglobin ) . often 50
per cent or more below norma), but a
comparatively slight dlmunltlon In
the number of red corpuscles, often
only 30 per cent below normal. In
this respect hypochromic anemia
(hypochromic means low In color) is
the opposite to pernicious anemia.
In which there is a great diminution
of the number of red corpuscles In
the blood but a comparatively slight
diminution In the amount of hemo
globin.
The old-time "green sickness oc
curred chiefly in girls from 14 to 17
years of age. The latter-day hypo
chromic anemia occurs chiefly in wo
men in their fourth or fifth decades.
The woman with hypochromic an
emia la sallow, and her skin becomes
prematurely wrinkled, inelastic and
dry. Her hair Is lusterless and dry and
tends to turn gray too early. The nails
become brittle, flattened, perhaps
concave or spooned; they lack the na
tural luster and are often ridged ver
tically. A frequent complaint is sorb
tongue and many patients complain
of some difficulty In swallowing and
a tendency to choke on swallowing
meat. The tongue in early cases is in
tensely red and looks Inflamed; the
papillae cannot be seen, and the nor
mal coat is absent. In long standing
cases the tongue is atrophied, much
smaller than normal, shiny, without
the rough papillae and slight coat
of a normal tongue. "Bold" tongue.
It Is called. There la usually absence
of hydrochloric acid In the gastric
juice, and Insufficient gastric Juice
secrete to digest food properly, these
being Indications of nutritional de
ficiency. The nutritional deficiency
will be discussed in an early article.
Probably the failure of gastric Juice
accounts for the failure of the sys
tem to assimilate iron. That, too, will
be discussed In the article to follow.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Who flptlled the Hops..
To the Editor;
According to the papers there Is a
6000 size shortage of hop pickers in
Oregon. Strange, Isn't it?
Considering all the pre-season ad
vertising used by the growers there
must be something radically wrong
when pickers failed to respond.
With good crops, assured market
and organized bargaining facilities
well lnt hand the growers apparently
had the world by $.e tail until the
wage earners tooka long look at the
lc per pound and the intimidation
bonus which the growers were offer
ing that wrecked the works.
There were no general strikes, the
pickers simply passed up the hop
yards as a dead loss t them.
After the growers discovered that
their stew was well scorched they
were forced to do what they should
have done at the beginning share
their profits with labor.
The one and one-half cents per
pound which the growers are now
paying would have produced an over
supply of pickers earlier In the sea
son and done away with the necessity
for the trouble-making bonus Idea.
