UNKNOWN AGENT
Based On Theory Disease
Results From Lack . of
Single Unidentified Sub
stance in Gastric Juices
CHICAGO. Jan. 24. (AP) A new
method of treating pernicious ane
mia, based on a theory that the
disease Is caused by a lack of a single
unknown substance In the gastric
Juices, was announced today by Dr.
E. A. Greenspon of Montreal, Can.
It consisted of preparations of gas
tric Juice and animal stomach linings
from which was removed tneir natural
pepsin, the digestive agent which Dr.
Oreenspon ssld killed the action of
the antl-pernlclous anemia substance.
The Identity of the substance la as
yet undetermined, Dr. Greenspon said
in the Journal of the American Medi
cal Association. It has been vari
ously described In the past aa a hor
mone and an enzyme. -
Dr. Greenspon described his treat
ment, which he said would be ad
ministered by mouth or hypodermic
Injection, as a simplification of one
evolved earlier by Dr. w. B. Castle
notable experimenter In this field.
Castle held that nature prevented
pernicious anemia normally through
a substance secreted by the gastric
Juices and from the stomach walls.
He contended It was necessary for
this substance to combine with an
other, probably a protein, to be ef-fectlve.
His treatment, therefore, consisted
of a preparation of gastric Juices and
around beef.
Dr. Greenspon aald his experiments
showed that untreated gastric Juices
were Ineffective because the pepsin
counteracted the antl-pernlclous ane
mia agent. The beef protein used by
Castle combined with the pepsin and
thus removed It, he declared.

plications are filed?

To the Editor:
In a UU issue of your valuable
paper there appeared an article en
titled "Republican Leader Explains
Why Townsend Plan Won't Work."
For , pendantlo display of abysmal
inoranoe of the subject discussed,
this article certainly caps the climax.
Among the many false and ridiculous
statements he makes are the follow
ing'
First, he says, "the plan would cost
the government twenty-four billion
dollars a year, or six times the an
nual cost of the American govern
ment. This sum Is equal to one
third of the totl income of the
United States."
In the first place the Townsend
plan does not contemplate calling
upon the government for a single dol
lar of its present revenue, annually
or otherwise It purposes to create
Its own revenues from month to
month, and the money Is not paid
out until it is provided. In other
words. It pays as It goes, leaving no
debts or obligations behind. The evi
dence Is cor cl us We that a two per
cent transaction tax, wltb business
stimulated by the expenditure of the
money, as 1. is rocelvec. will be amply
sufficient to pay the proposed annu
ities. The gentleman does not at
tempt to d!'ute this proposition.
Suppose the amount IS greater
than the annual cost of the govern
ment, or the total annual income
thereof, The Townsend plan will in
no way affect the cost of the gov
ernment or ltd annual income, nor
In any way affect the balancing of
the budget, nor does It In any way
increase the taxes now Imposed, nor
In any regard change the collection
or levying of the same. The Town-
send plan provides Its own way for
raising the money to pay the annu
ities, and, when we take into con
sideration the great stimulant to bus-
lness and the benefits derived there
from, the same would be gladly paid
as is our present six percent gasoline
tax.
The gentleman also attempts to
liken the Townsend method to the
New Deal taxes. There Is no com
parison. Under the New Deal, there
has been a 'argu sum of money ap
propriated to furnish work for the
unemployed, and the plan practiced
has been to engage In the construc
tion of large projects, such aa the
Boulder and Bonneville dams, and
state, count and municipal public
service projects, for the building of
which, contracts are let to large cor
porations and wealthy contractors. No
ordinary men, under the conditions,
could offer a bid on such projects.
Consequently the money expended re
mains In ttie hands of the higher
ups, at the top of the "pyramid," and
the money piovlded for such projects
may well be said to be taken from
the people by way of taxation.
Now the lowDsend proposal, as a
recovery plan, works opposite to that.
It Is universall conceded by states
men, financiers and philosophers that
the cause of the depression waa the
mal -distribution of the wealth of the
country. Therefore. It necessarily fol
lows that the remedy lies in an equit
able distribution of th money of the
country. Now the Townsend plan
proposes to make each person over
the age of 60 years an agent of the
government, or a federal employee,
whose duty it will be to put Into
circulation and at the foot, or base
of the "pyramid." $300 a month, that
the same may circulate upward
through the arteries and channels of
trade, by way of local transactions.
It does not constitute Inflation, or
the creation of new money. It sim
ply changes the channel through
which the mcney flows from the top
of the "pyramid." where dwell the
htgher-ups. to the foot, or base of
the "pyramid.' 'In reach of the poor,
needy consumer, who pays the great
er portion of the transaction tax, and
who do it glad'.y. because they can
afford to, and the money thus ex
pended doea not go for the building
of Boulder Jams, and the like, but
Is used for the build. n$ of homes,
and buying of the necessities of life.
If this be fraud, let the Repub
licans make the most of tl.
He further says, "The appeal of
the Townsend plan Is enormous to
millions of persons over the age of
00. It offers hope of an old age spent
In luxury.
Why not? They have worked long
and hard to create the wealth that
now support the leaders of the Re
publican party In luxury (one f
whom h claims to be). So let ;h
old folks who have but a short time
to live, and who as all know, are.
by reason of their age, barred from
all employment, receive during their
declining years, something of tae
wealth they have created, 80 percent
of whom are now living on charity.
That Is a poMtlve condition that con
fronts the American people today,
and must be met
"Mr. Republican Leader" says the
Townsend plan is unworkable. If so,
why does he not offer a plan that Is
workable? Tl;e general statement that
it Is a frau-1. delusion, and unwork
able Is no answer to the millions of
people who say that the plan la basic
ally sound, nd that the people of
this country are determined to. end
will put It over. So "Mr. Republican"
had better prepare himself to meet
he Inevitable.
He further says that a "disappoint
ment lies In wait for those who em
brace the Townsend tdea. only to
learn later that 'Aey have been badly
foo'ed." In my opinion, if he will
stick around tne ballot box until the
votes are counted next November, he
will find, to his dismay, that he and
his party w.ll be the ones that will
be badly fooled. Vox Popull. Vax
