A Knockout Blow
TTHE knocking out of the AAA by the Supreme Court was
generally expected. After the sweeping NRA decision, it
was difficult to see how tho same court could sustain a measure
similar to it. Not only does this decision mean that two of the
most important elements of the so-called New Deal are un
constitutional but probably the New Deal AS A WHOLE.
TPHE popular reaction from the AAA decision, however will
be very different from that following the annihilation of
the NRA.
The NRA, except at the very outset, was never popular with
those it most vitally affected, i.e., the business men. The AAA
on the other hand, has been popular with those it most vitally
affected, that is the farmers of
larly in the south and middlewost. They believe the AAA has
been largely responsible for their improved condition, and the
sensational advnnce in the prices
A. S a result, whereas there
revamped NRA that would
stitutional amendment, that would legalize a similar method
of business and industrial control, there will undoubtedly be
such a demand, as far as the
cultural districts, and their
nation.
Until the complete decision is
competent legal experts, it is
not, any form of agricultural
by the AAA, can be devised which would stand up under the
Constitution as it is, and is interpreted by the highest legal
tribunal in the land. But as the origii il measure was amended
following the NRA decision, in an effort to conform to that
edict, this would appear to be highly improbable.
""THEREFORE in all likelihood, this AAA decision will evenu-
ally force the Roosevelt administration to do one of two
things: either abandon the New Deal entirely, or demand an
amendment to the Constitution, which will allow the govern
ment to carry out those principles and policies, which it believes
to be necessary for the continued growth, prosperity and secur
ity of this country, and the better welfare of the people in it.
Abandonment would mean admission of failure, and a loss
in prestige that would he politically calamitous. Favoring con
stitutional amendment, while entirely proper, would inject the
issue of altering the country's organic law, in the approaching
presidential election, which would, we fear, raise a serious ob
stacle to Democratic political success.
DRESIDENT ROOSEVELT is unquestionably one of "the most
skillful political leaders, and most resourceful political
tacticians, to occupy the White House in the present generation.
It will be interesting to see how he handles the situation which
this second Supreme Court decision hss presented to him, just
as the presidential election year opens. It will put his abilities
to a supreme test.
For as we see it, legalities, and matters of national welfare
aside, purely on the grounds of PRACTICAL POLITICS, this
second unfavorable decision of tfie Supreme Court, is the hard
est blow any administration has received from 'such a source,
since the Dredd Scott decision, before the civil war.
College Fees and Democracy
IN another column a communication from a Mr. Harold Barton
maintains the collection of fees for extra curricular activities
at the state institutions of higher learning, on a universal and
equal basis is "un-democratic".
We believe our correspondent is mistaken. Are universal
taxes un-democratic! Are universal water fees, undemocratic?
Taxes, w:iter fees, and similar compulsory charges, may be,
and often aro a burrien upon the individual and difficult to
meet. But does that make them undemocratic! Does that
justify the individual refusing to
WISH to pay for police and fire
or water, being forced to do so!
What is democracy anyway It is the rule of the people.
And what does the rule of the people meant It means the rule
of the majority. It means the acquiescence of the minority to
majority will.
We don't believe anyone denies a vast majority of the stu
dents at both the University and 0. S. C. want these recreational
and cultural activities maintained, and want the expense shared
hy all niomlwa of the student boil!-:., so the expense for the
individual will be as low as iosible.
Isn't it entirely dcmocmt.o
matters, just as they rule in all
Of course it is. Compulsory
desirable or undesirable: mnv lio
but they are certainly NOT undemocratic, as long as a majority
of those whose interests are involved WANT them.
The very cornerstone of Democracy is majority rule. Once
deny that principle, and Democracy censes to be.

.VITAMIN DEFICIENCIES A COMMON CAUSE OF POOR HEALTH
Dr. B. R. Hoobler reported (Jour.
A.M.A. B 1-307, '3S and 8S-S78, '31)
that mild and generhlly unrecog-
nlzed beriberi
quit common
in this country.
If It waa com
mon gtven
sight years ago,
It li probably
far more com
mon now, with
millions of peo
pie - on relief
and little or no
thought being
given to provtd
lng In their
food adequate vitamin. The mild
Infantile beriberi described by Or.
Hoobler manifests Itself In charac
teristic signs, such as lose of appo'
tlte. loss of weight, spasticity or
stiffness of arms and lg. rigidity
of neck, restlessness and fretful
ness, pallor, low percentage of hem
oglobin In blood, and a plaintive
whining cry. These symptoms are
readily alleviated by supplementing
the Infant's diet with vitamin B.
Better than prescribing vitamin
B or foods naturally rich In vita'
mln B for the cure of such symp
toms, la the practice of making
certain that the expecant mother
receives an optimal ration of vita
mlns throughout pregnancy, and
then if she nurses her baby, m she
Is more likely to do successfully
when she has had such a vitamin
ration, let her have a liberal pro
portion of the so-called "protec
tive" foods In her diet. Where the
mother has failed In nursing and
the baby la on the bottle It ! Im
portant that adequate vitamin B be
provided In the bottle feeding or as
a supplement to the feeding.
In American Medicine 33-781, '38
Dr. Barnet Sure suggested that gas
trointestinal disturbances In nurs
ing Infants are due to vitamin B
deficiency In the mother'e diet.
Dr. C. Ulyiwes Moore and associ
ates have presented striking exper
imental and clinical evidence in
support of the view that a defic
iency of vitamin B In the mother s
diet during pregnancy Is an Im
portant factor of congenital pyloric
stenosis In the young Infant and
they hold that mothers require
three or four times as much vita
min B during pregnancy and lac
tation as they need ordinarily.
In the N. T. State Jour, of Medi
cine, Nov. 1, '3S, Dr. Morris j.
Drnzln reports typical cases of
chronic Illness from moderate mul
tiple vitamin deficiencies. Such an
explanation for the poor health may

Comment
on the
Day s News
By FRANK JENKINS
POLITICAL newa:
"President Roosevelt's decision to
deliver his annual message to con
gress AT NIGHT Is defended by
democratic leaders and attacked by
republicans."
'T'HE president wishes to deliver his
message at night, because then
the number of radio listeners thru-
out the country will be greatest. The
democrats defend this wish because
they want President Roosevelt re
elected, so that they may stay In
power, and the republicans attack It
because they want to defeat Presi
dent Roosevelt.
"HIfl writer, who expects to vote
- against President Roosevelt, hopes
he delivers his message at a time
when It is most convenient tor radio
listeners to hear him, and advises
everyone who has access to a radio
to make it a point to hear him.
Franklin D. Roosevelt is prealdent
of the United States, elected to that
office by an overwhelming majority
of the voters. Whatever he has to
say In defense of his policies should
be listened to with thoughtful atten
tion and considered on its merits by
every voter In the country.
The way to make up one's mind on
disputed Issues la to, hear BOTH
SIDES of these issues.
ANOTHER Washington dispatch.
'Senator Robinson, the democratic
leader, today predicted passage of a
cash bonus bill which will receive
executive approval." (That Is to say.
which the president will sign.)
THAT statement t political because
many votes, and the members of con
gress who will pass the bill and the
president who will sign it (If It Is
passed and signed) want all the votes
they can get.
i S to the bonus, this writer's be-
llefs are about as follows:
If the government of the United
States la going to pursue a conserva
tive f'.Taanelal policy, spending no
more in tlmea of peace than it can
hope to take in. the bonus Is unwise.
But If the government of the Unit
ed States la going to throw money
away with both hands, without re
gard to where it Is to come from, it
will da well to see that the veterans
get their share.
