If a college youth Is not forced to drill, he would go to war, for the right to drill. A collegian will always be able to find something he wants to get out of doing, by a vote of the people. If the people docldo by their ballot, an hour of drill per week, causes too much physical pain and mental anguish, tor youth to bear, new grievance will arise, for the next election.

What Are know some good people " are genuinely alarmed at debt, and believe the election of uncontrolled inflation and printing press money. Well, they are entitled to wonder where they get their figures to sustain it. The only figures we have federal expenditures before the Wilson administration, includ ing every administration from the time of Washington, were ap proximately the same as during less than four years. We admit such a showing is talking point, but coining down to do with the case, one way or TPIIE only question is what is PRESENT time. What is handle itf What he spent or more to do with his present financial standing, than what an individual did with his money in the years gone by has to do with HIS financial standing today. It also seems obvious that the size of the debt is not a dc termining factor with a country anymore than with an individ ual. If a man has a debt at the worth $10,000 his financial predicament is serious, but if his debt is ten times that amount, and he is a Henry Ford worth a billion, more or less, there is nothing for him or any one else, to worry, about. In other words debt as a financial danger muBt include abil ity to pay, there is no other way to consider it. CO far so good. Now what is the present national debt, and what is Uncle Sam's ability, under present conditions to pay it t On June 30th of this year billions (plus). On March 4th, it was 21 billions (minus) an increase of approximately 12 bil lions in less tha'n your years. We admit a sizeable increase. (Yet it might bo noted that during the World war in a far shorter period of time the national debt was increased from 25 to 30 billions; and there was destruction rather than reconstruc tion to show for it.) But lot that pass. Tako that figure of 33 billions, which has now reached approximately 34 billions. Is that too great a debt for this country to handle without uncontrolled inflation and printing press money J The experts don't think so. Whyf Because that debt huge as it is, when compared vith national wealth and capacity to pay, is relatively speaking small. TO illustrate. Great Britain is known as solvent, and financ flllv unlink no ia ti1nvniKin! mil Tf hot nflUliAn r.nn. lation nor the assets of this country. And yet, if Unole Sam had today a debt, as large in propor tion, as his cousin John Bull, our present indebtedness would be 116 billion, instead of 34. If there is no danger of printing press money in England certainly there should be none here. (These are the figures Mr. Ernest K. Lindley, of the Republican New York Herald Tribune presents in his book "Half Way With Roosevelt," and as far aware have never been questioned.) As far as capacity to pay is concerned Mr. Ijindlev declares tho figures are oven more striking. We quote: "Whan related to the national Income tho coat of the Federal debt on March S, 1939 (end of Hoover's term) waa 1.77 cents out of each dollsr of the national Income. By June 1936 the cost of the federal debt had dropped to approximately 1.40 cents out of each dollar, and thla year (1039) If the national Income Is 60 billion (as estimated) the annual Interest cost of 34 billion dol lars would take 1.44 cents of each dollar of Income." In other words, as has been previously pointed out in this column, the national debt is not as serious a financial menace today, because of tho increase in national wealth and income, as it was during the last half of tho Hoover administration. Yet at that time there was no Colonel Knox crying about print ing press money and inflation. . i 'T'HIS paper holds no brief for going into debt, federal or otherwise. But there are times, in the life of a nation as of an individual, when debt is not only unavoidable but an in eseapnblo obligation of sound business practice. Such a time occurred during the Wilson administration, when to wage a successful war against Germany, debt had to be incurred. Such a time ocourred following the war when the most devastating business depression in all history struck this country, iu both cases billions had to be borrowed to save our democracy. In both cases we maintain the results justified the expenditures. That the federal budget should be balanced at the earliest possible time, no ono denies. Both presidential candidates are plodged to do so. That federal expenditures should be reduced to the minimum consistent with the publio welfare, is also ad mitted and no matter who is elected we are confident, this will be tho effort of the next administration. DOT it is ONE thing to declare the present debt large, and should bo reduced, and quite another to maintain it is so large, that it represents an immediate financial danger, and if tho people happen to vote one way, this country will be bank nipt, and if they vote the other way, it won't be. This is simply unadulterated whang-doodle, and every in formed person in tho country knows itl And yet Colonel Knox who originated the cry of no savings awounts snfe, no insurance policies sound, continues to ring the changes on it, in a brazen and unprincipled effort to scare the voters away from President Roosevelt, snd put hiin and his team mate in the White House. It simply isn't true, ami wo believe the people of this coun try two weeks from today, will go to the polls, snd give prac tical and conclusive evidence that they KNOW it.

Address Dr. William Brady, SI65 El Caraino, Beverly Hills, Calif, OLD DOO Recently we told how a young man witn hernia which disqualified him from getting a coveted Job obtained & cure by Injection treatment, In spite of the com placent assurance of the braae sur geon In chief of the civil service board, and got the Job. The self esteem of the brass surgeon blinded him to the truth. You know It Is hard to teach an old dog new trick. Here ts another Instance. A man with Indirect Inguinal hernia was re fused a Job In a large manufacturing plant. The head surgeon of the plant recommended surgery, of course at his hands. The patient entered a hospital to be prepared for opera tion, but at this Juncture learned of an unfortunate fatality the surgeon had recently had following operation for hernia. The patient demanded ills clothes and In spite of all efforts left tho hospital and returned home. But still, handicapped with hernia, he could not have a Job. So he sought out a competent physician who treats hernia by the ambulant or Injection method. In two months the phy sician assured the patient his hernJa was cured. The patient again reported to the chief surgeon of the manufacturing plant, who examined him and ex pressed astonishment at the absence of any sign of hernia. The brass surgeon called In three other doc tors who examined the patient care fully and all agreed he hid no herla. But did he get the Job? Certainly not. The Big Brass Surgeon was tu full command of the situation and laughingly assured the man that he would have hla renla back the same as or worse than it had ben before. Just as soon as the "serum" Injected should be absorbed or dried up; more over, the Big Liar assured the patient that the "serum" Injected would veiy likely cause oancer later In life. But the patient need not worry, for the Big Quack was still willing to oper ate, clear the "serum" out and fix the rupture properly. That Brass Surgeon's attitude was ! Inspired by the half-baked piopaganda of tho American Medical association j against the modern treatment of her- j nla propaganda which the bright boys who run the A.M. A. were fever ishly distributing up to a month or two ago, when the official Journal of the A. M. belatedly and reluct NEW YORK, Oct. 30.-J)ob Burns doesn't make up all those gee-haw names he mentions as living In his native VanBuren. Ark. i have a note from a law yer there Cly man E. Izard who sends a spe cial Bob Burns edition of the Van Huron Press Argu. A Jour nalisttc whoop for their No. 1 Citizen. Just as Will Kogers put Clare- more, Okla., on the map, m has Burns less auspiciously made Van Buren known. Every day the tlpy burs swarms with auto tourists who want to have a pork at the pli.ee. As a result the town has enjoy ti what Its proud citizenry calls the Bob Bourns Boom. The visitor buys something as a souvenir. A high pressure chamber of commerce could not po&Mbly achieve what the hlUybtUy comedian has by the simple expedient of spoof. Ing his native heath. But It Is not all just acting. His sentimentality It at times on the level. He like the town. Whenever he has a chance to slip the Hollywood halter, he lights a shuck for Van Buren to take up Hf? where he left off and show off his Sunday clothes. And. of course, on these vlslta he dredges much yokel yamer for his radio broadcasts. His Income now nudges $150,000 a year. Another eltlxen of Van Buren writes: "It's so prosperous down heir since the Burns Boom you can't get anybody to mow the lawn. Mine would strain the neck of a giraffe to see above the cockle-burrs. All the lawn cutters have become guide for tourists." Many slxable burgs are known by names of former sons. Whn a Snnta re goes tootling through Emporia, Kansas.

CTpenhelm in another Brady, M P. IS RIGHT antly published an article In which the Injection treatment of hernU was recognized as a valuable method. The abysmal Ignorance of the Brass Surgeon In respect to the modern treatment of hernia woa clearly shown by his bad guess that "serum waa used In the ambulant method. What the loud-mouthed operators of Yankeeland don't know about thera peutics fills the current scientific literature of the subject. There are a minority 01 cases of hernia in which the old-time dis section treatment U still the only available cure. But In the great ma jority of rupture In adults, and par ticularly ruptures following opera tions or recurrences of hernia follow ing dissection treatment (such re currences are at least as frequent as they are after Injection treatment) the ambulant treatment Is now uni versally regarded as the method of choice. I can't see how' even a Bras Surgeon has the face to take the "id dog in the manger attitude toward this modern method. QUESTIONS ANDANHWER8 Insanity. Can a person Inherit Insanity? (P. O.)

Malefactors Against Roosevelt To the Editor: The tragedy of this campaign Is that the Big Boys, who were rescued from bankruptcy by loans from the United States treasury, are now spending millions to defeat their benefactor. President Roosevelt. Hav ing had their own nests feathered, they salted down the surplus, and have refused to co-operate by Invest ing In or loaning to legitimate en terprise, thus forcing the government to bear the whole burden of recov- erly, and now pretend to vision bank ruptcy of the nation because the ad ministration was forced to increase the federal debt to supply similar help to the unfortunate In the lower brackets and prevent million of the poor from starving. Aa an Instance, take the great ln- surance companies. They have kept their capital Idle and have passed the accumulated overhead expense on down to their policy holders. Upon recent complaint of decreased divi dends, one of these multl-mtlltonatre companies writes: "The reason for this decrease Is very plain and ap parent. It Is clue wholly to the fact (Continued from Page One.) Fletcher was sent out with a blank check book and a fountain, pen.

But when the Idea comes from the other faction, the treasury la always weak. There Is ona candidate who Is not On the ballot, Mr. John Edgar Hoo ver, director of the federal bureau of Investigation. Mr. Hoover has ap parently been campaigning for some thing or other through a aeries of speeches around the country, outlin ing the menace of crime and what ho has been doing about It. , Preu copies of speeches by ordinary politi cians are handed out in cheap mime ograph form, but Mr. Hoover's are printed by some new .reproduction process which will undoubtedly put hla publicity man In line for the next Pulltaer prize for typography. Ordinarily, you would think the boas detective would not need pub licity, but Mr. Hoover may. A weekly magazine recently asked: "Will the politicians get Hoover?" The article did not give the answer, but It seems to be: "Probably. Hoover has rubbed many an offi cial the wrong way. The dope is that tboy plan to push legislation at the next session of congress to centralize federal detective agencies, and that Hoover will eventually find himself shorn of some of his arbitrary power as well as his press agent. Trade tn-atlsts within the state de partment are already talking among themselves about activities they ex pect to start if they get the chance after election.' First, thev want to start a campaign of revision of ex isting treaties, bringing concessions 'up to date" In line with exchange and quota revisions. Then they plan to go to work on congress for an immediate extension of the temporary reciprocal trade act under which they are working. In conversation, they always refer to "the hopelessly unwleldly" method of attempting to deal with tariff poli cies in congress. They do not Intend to let congress get back Its tariff making powera.
