The Baltimore Speech
f T all depends upon what you expect.
We and many others no doubt expected one of President
Roosevelt's stirring challenging and inspiring political speeches,
when he addressed the Young Democrats of Baltimore last
night.
It was announced ti the formal opening of the 1936 cam
paign on the part of the President. It was awaited with intense
interest and high expectation on the part of the country.
After the President's aggressive and militant speech the
first of the year, on the state of the union; followed by his ex
uberant flaying of the Liberty League, and the forces of in
trenched greed at the Jackson Day dinner,. we were all primed
for something along the same line, when the President squared
off before the microphone, after that hip-hoorah torch light
procession, put on by Maryland's Democratic Youth.
. . . S .
DUT the address proved to be nothing or the sort. As a result
we and we think many others, were disappointed.
We kept waiting for that characteristic P. D. R. PUNCH,
that resounding battle-cry of the Happy Warrior, and it never
came. As a result in spite of that eloquent and fervent, appeal
to the vision and idealism of youth, with which the President
closed his remarks, there was with us, and we believe with
many others a vague feeling, that the opportunity offered had
somehow been muffed.
N fact, in the usual acceptance of the term, it was not a poli
tical speech at all. It certainly was not the type of talk, that
usually marks the opening gun in a presidential campaign, by
the leader of one of the two great opposing parties. It might
almost have been the welcoming address of a college President,
to the incoming Freshmnn class. Excellently phrased, effective
ly and charmingly delivered, directed exclusively to youth, and
inspirational to youth, but as far as the country, and the im
portant issues are concerned, lacking in SUBSTANCE, or so
it seemed to the present writer.
WE can think of two probable explanations. First, that the
President decided it desirable to open the campaign
slowly, not start a ninjor offensive now, nor at the outset, give
his opponents anything to shoot at. His address was to the
Young Democrats, therefore, an appeal not to partisanship, but
to the youth of both parties, not on specific controversial issues,
but on general ideals and broad purposes, would be to gain the
maximum benefit of such an opportunity.
The second, flint, the fault if any did not rest with the
President nor with his speech, but with those who listened to
it, particularly those who having been fed on raw meat high
ly seasoned, from the White House, were in a mood to be satis
fied with nothing else.
The President gave a good speech to the Youth of America.
In general terms he clearly outlined his purposes and the pur
poses of his party, to make this country, a true land of peace
and plenty, not for the privileged few but for all, not in spo
radio periods of booms on one hand, and depressions on the
other, but a more abundant life for the men, women and chil
dren of the world's greatest Democracy, as a permanent con
dition.
It was a tcmpernto and kindly talk, as befitted the leader of
a great nation to the young. Far from scoring Big Business, he
called on Big Business to assist in this great work; far from ap
pealing to class prejudice, he envisioned a country, where gen
oral well being would be so advanced, that no class feeling
would exist. Ho urged security for the aged, more opportuni
ties of education for the young, scorned a large permanent un
employment, envisioned serviceable work for all.
Then what justification for criticism and complaint!
Well, as far as this paper is-conccrned there is none. It WAS
good speech, with everything the President said we heartily
agree.
But frankly we expected him to say more. We expected him
to be more specific. And wo might as well admit it, we ex
pected him to take tiuothcr whack at his carping critics, and
chase those sharp shooters oC "predatory wealth" once more, in
full flight down tho track.
Thnt is why, as far as we are concerned, the net reaction
to the Baltimore broadcast was one of disappointment.
Whether Explanation No. 1 or No. 2, or a combination of
both gives the true answer, we shall leave for someone wiser
than we to decide.

Calles Exiled
KNOWLEDGE FROM EXPERIMENT
A reader sends a letter of thank
for something In this column that
convinced a relative that It la better
to go to the doc
tor, even to sub
mit to an "ex
ploratory opera
tion" in case of
possible cancer
of the stomach,
than It Is to do
nothing but wor
ry about It. Well,
of course I don't
know, but I be
lieve I'd rather
have the doctor
take a surgical
look-see than Just drift along, If
I were the patient with the suspect
ed stomach. If It proved to be a can
cer, It might still be operable; If It
proved to be advanced beyond hope
of cure by surgery, well, I'd have had
my chance anyway; and If It proved
to be a benign, non-cancerous con
dition, then, by Jimlny, I'd be dam
glad I had been opened by mistake.
The reader goes on to philosophize
a bit:
"Why Is the word experimental
such a bugbear In the lay mind? My
own brother lost confidence In bis
doctor because he heard him say
he'd like to take some delicate look
ing children Into bis home and ex
perm lent with their diet.' The doc
tor has no children of his own, and
I thought It fine of him, but, alas I
he used that word experiment. He
didn't get the children. The mother
said she had rather raise them on
corn bread and molasses than have
some doctor experiment on them.
The doctor meant to give them sun-
baths and more adequate diet. The
mother' would gladly give a dollar
the bottle for cod liver oil for the
children If she had the money, but
she can't give them sun baths, be
cause she fears they would catch
cold." Ignorance Is the answer.
Not Just ordinary Ignorance, but
the kind a great many people have
who consider themselves quite Intel
ligent, even well educated. The kind
people acquire from their general
reading. Health Ignorance. Ignorance
misinformation In physiology. I
Ignorance or maleducatton in hy- j
glene. ' Benlghtedness, prejudice, er
rors and false Ideas propagated by
our great .American nostrum and
quack interests.
I'm as hard boiled as a doctor can
be about such a matter. I began ex
perimenting On patients when I be
gan practice, In the hospital, and I
kept right on experimenting every
day of my professional life. A doctor
who doean't experiment is altogether
too good to be true. Nearly every bit
of useful medical knowledge we have
was gal nod through experiment. If
a doctor doesn't experiment he ought
to get out of a liberal profession and
seek a Job as helper for some me
chanic. You can't name a doctor
who Is worthy of anybody's confi
dence who doesn't experiment con
stantly. A quack or a mail-order crook or
a shortcut healer of one kind or an
other, somehow, la the only kind of
doctor who Is cocksure about every
thing, and such humbugs are the
only kind of doctors who pretend to
guarantee cures. An honest doctor of
course, will not and cannot guaran
tee a cure for anything In any cir
cumstances. But how many laymen
at this moment are patronizing fak-
era who pretend to give such guar
antees?
Nearly every day I receive a letter
or two asking me to recommend sonw
doctor or specialist who guarantees
his treatment. It would probably
shock one of that level of Intelligence
If I were to say In reply that every
remedy, every treatment, Is necessar
ily an experiment.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
No Sympathy
Followed with Interest your articles,
particularly those on compulsory vac
cination. I do not believe In serums
or vaccines and I devote part of my
time to antl-vlvlsectlon propaganda.
(E. B. H.)
Answer I believe In vaccination. I
have no sympathy or patience with
your propaganda. If you had a child
in dire need you would certainly not
object to sacrificing a monkey, a
guinea pig, a dog or any other ani
mal to enable the doctors to relieve
the child's suffering or restore health.
None so blind 1 I oppose compulsory
vaccination, although I like to keep
myself and my own loved ones pro
tected by vaccination. Part-time
propagandists become full-time prop
agandists if they can get a job at It
that pays. Yankeeland has plenty of
wiseacrea who can be persuaded to
pay.
Iodln Ration Is Only One Factor
If I understand It, you say your
lodln ration will preserve youth or
postpone the onset of old sge. I'd
like more particulars about this . .
(A. E. T.)
Answer Send ten cents coin and
stamped envelope bearing your ad
dress, for booklet "The Regeneration
Regimen."
Youth's Education Neglected
My son aged 17 Is growing tall. His
right shoulder Is lower than his left,
and he stoops forward. Might this
be from carrying his books under one
arm? Should he go to a doctor t or
wear braces? He la active In sport,
swims, plays basketball, soccer, base
ball . . . (Mrs. N. E.)
Answer Is the school he attends
so poor that there Is no physical ed
ucatlon department or Is the school
so badly conducted that this branch
of training is neglected in the fine
old mid-Victorian manner? That the
boy la active In sport and plays games
Is no criterion of his health or phys
ical welfare. Better take him to your
physician for a careful physical ex
amination, that is, a complete health
examination, and then follow the ad
vice the physician will give.

that they will not be long, whether
not thoae two particular boats
rrlved In Honduras with the Mexi
can arms.
It will be denied officially, of
course, but there was only one rea-
on why Mr. Hull waa not Inclined
be particular about Mr. carlaa'
neighborhood record. The Pan-Amer
ican conference la In the offing and
the Latins are aensltlve neighbors.
What may prove to be far more
serious la the fart that eome others
down In that end of the neighbor
hood have hinted that they have
bigger Ideas than oura about run
nlng the forthcoming neighborhood
conference.
Frankly, their suggestions are get
ting out of hand. Internal Latin
American polltlca Is beginning to
creep in. In proposing the confer
ence, It waa. and atlll la. the Inten
tion of thla government to con
nne It aolely to peace pacta. But
Chile, for aome time, has been
worried by Argentine armament pur.
chases, especially airplanes. So the
president of Chile. In hla response
to Prealdent Roosevelt, suggested that
Ins conference take up the queation
of limitation of armament In thla
hemisphere.
Our armament limitations have
alwaya been dependent aolely on
I activities in ti e eastern and western
ends of thla neighborhood, tEng.
land, Europe, jajpanj. It lias no
natural relation to South American
armaments. It ws ever get mixed up
with the southern lads, ws would
have to play the role of big brother,
which la even mors difficult than
good neighbor, at times.
Juit to make matters more com
plicated, Guatemala also has come
forward with a plan for mutual
assistance pact and establishment
of a permanent court of justice for
thla hemisphere.
Tou can Imagine what the senate
would do to that embarrassing Idea.
The current official family here
like, the Latins, but not enough to
enter any mutual aaaletance pact
with them beyond mere consultation.
And It distinctly does not like peace
courta after what the senats did to
the laat one. Thla one would be
worae because we would have to
mak, advance commitments. uch
aa probably a promise to refer to
third partlea the disputes which
might srlss with Pan-America over
our defense measures In ths Pacific.
Another unbright Idea la ths aug
gestlon of certain other Latin Amer
ican natlona that diplomatic pro
cedure prevail on the conference
agenda committee. Thl, would mean
majority rule. If that erer happened
we would have one rote, the aame
as the tlnleat nation. Furthermore,
a majority would not bs on our aide
In deciding many aubjeete to be
discussed at the conference, as the
aUfTireetlona have Indicated.
Consequently, aubjects tor discis
sion will be selected by unanimous
consent, or Mr. Roosevelt will mov,
hla Interest to another neighborhood.
Suave Mr. Sumner Welle,, aaalat
ant secretary of atats, haa been
designated unofficially aa neighbor
hood mediator. He la making an ef
fort to quiet everyone down. How
erer, his experience, ,o far have

THUS writer sat the other day In
- oomerence or dub mess men,
the subject under discussion being
certain phases of community devel
opment and progress which must be
given serious consideration If the
community Is to go forward as It
should.
You know how these conferences
arts a lot of hard-driven, overwork
ed citizens who have torn themselves
away from their own affairs because
of the need to take upon somebody's
shoulders the responsibility for the
community's progress and welfare.

In the mood to preach a little).
rWAfl a luncheon conference, and
they had rhubarb pie for dessert,
and that reminded somebody that
back in his younger days he had to
go out about this time of the year
and dig sassafras root to make sassa
fras tea to thin out the blood, which
was supposed to have become too
thick and gummy during the long
months of winter.
That started another one off, and
he recalled that In his early days
hack In Illinois the kids wore asa-
foetlda In little cloth bags suspended
around their necks In order to ward
off diphtheria, measles, etc, and in
addition some of them wore In these
bags a certain variety of golden-colored
spider that when dried was held
to be peculiarly potent In scaring
away disease.
(The dried spider business, by the
way, was a new one, nobody In the
crowd ever having heard of It).

bank's operations and revitalizing the
principle of farmer ownership and
control by rebuilding the system
around the locsl association."
tire in security for the balance of
their daya on earth."
Mr. Roosevelt did not indicate
whether the administration la plan
ning specific proposala along these
lines, beyond the social security and
other programs already enacted.
But he did Indicate that the New
Deal, despite the Invalidation of
NRA, still hopes to attain certain of
that experiment's objectives. He said
the government "must and will give
consideration" to shorter hours, sta
bility of employment and "adequate
minimum wages."
Again, he called on Industry to
"undertake rpaonah reduction of
hours of work per week, while, at
the. same time, they keep the aver
age individual's pay envelope at least
aa large as it is today."
High Offlrlnls Present.
High-placed Democrats In con
gress and the executive branch sat
on the platform In the huge armory
here as Mr. Rcosevelt addressed his
words to members of the Young
Democratic clubs of Maryland gath
ered for a Jefferson birthday cele
bration and to a nation-wide radio
audience.
In the light of flaming torches,
accompanied by bands and the tramp
of troops, the club members had
come to the rally In a four-mile
march through Baltimore streets.
Vice-President Garner rode in an
open automobile In the procession,
followed by Speaker Byrns, Senator
Robinson of Arkansas, Postmaster
General James A. Farley and other
leaders.
The president's speech was studied
today as a text for many a Demo
cratic campaign speaker In the
months to come. He started with a
discussion of youth's problems, say-1
ing: I
Youth Questioning,
"Flaming youth has become
flaming question. And youth comes
to us wanting to know what we
propose to do about a society that
hurts so many of them.
Ridiculing the Idea that the con
fidence and prosperity of 1928 would
cure everything," he said "1928 waa
no mlllenlum."
You and I know the simple fact
that while production waa increas
ing and profits were Increasing in
1938 and 1929. unemployment was
growing at an astounding rate . . .
The best that the cap tains of the
country and captains of industry
could do for you before the depres
sion was not gocd enough then
and It is not good enough today."
Production, he said. Is about back
to the pre -depression high point,
but employment Is only about 80
per cent as great. But he emphatl- ,
cally rejected predicttcna of a "vast
permanent army of unemployed ."
saying "no man who Is sensitive to
human values dares to accept such
forecasts."
It Makes II I m Laugh.
To the Editor:
Your editorial of today: "Dissen
sion Within" Is funny: .It makes me
laugh.
Dr. Townsend "the crusading ideal
ist" and Earl Clements "the self
seeking materialist," break, so there
will be more breaks In the Townsend
ranks and this eventually will break
the .Townsend movement. It looks
like your wish, was father to the
thought.
Is there any similar dissension In
the Republican party?
Is there any dissension between
Senator Borah and Herbert Hoover?
If so. will that disrupt or kill the
Republican party?
Are President Roosevelt and Alfred
Smith In harmonious accord as to
the principles that should govern
in the Democratic party? If they
are not will the differences between
them smash the Democratic party?
Were there any dissensions In the
ranks of the abolitionist party pre
vious to Abraham Lincoln's election
to the presidency? "s
To say, or even to intimate, that
dissension In the Townsend ranks
will disintegrate or kill the Town
send party looks to me like so much
bunk I

Trap the Yellow Jackets.
To the Editor:
i Now and especially for the next
six weeks Is the proper time to trap
the yellow Jackets.
The best and cheapest way I know
of is: After taking the fish out of
a salmon can. remove all the lid,
fill It up half full of fresh water
and set It outside, where It will
not be tipped over by anything like
dogs, chickens, etc., and In a few
days make an Inspection of the cans
and take out the drowned yellow
Jackets, because when there are so
many drowned ones, the next ones
will be able to walk over the dead
ones and not drown.
You know the yellow Jacket queens
are the only ones wintered over and
they begin to come out now.
Just think what It means to kill
one yellow Jacket queen now.
Pleae everybody do that all over
the country for the good of all.
