Bigotry and Fascism Again rfE other day, tre took a shot in the dark, editorially speak ing, on the subject of religious bigotry and fascism. , Judging by the reaction to date, there was more local sub stance for our fears than we imagined. We shall make no attempt at this time, to answer the com munications, anonymous and otherwise, which have been re ceived at this desk. For we can see no public good, that could result, from an open debate, on such a controversial and inflam mable subject, at the present time. Far better to cross that bridge when we come to it, sustained by the hope that such a bridge will never present itself. .. BUT there was one long communication not for publica tion, accompanied by various tracts and pamphlets, which seemed to us, so typical of that emotional excitement, sustained by religious prejudice and intolerance, to which we, referred, that a few words exposing the fallacy of this alarm might be justified. It. may do no good, but it MIGHT. . . . . . ' , , TIE burden of this offering, was that the power behind, what is known as Fascism, is yes, you guessed it, the "Church of Rome." And many thousands of words were presented to support this contention, arguments incidentally which to the unthinking and the uninformed, might have considerable weight Now this charge is so untrue, and so nearly the exact re verse of the truth, that its refutation, might contribute some thing to clearing the atmosphere, and preventing some of our fellow citizens, from falling for this particular type of incen diary propaganda, at least'. FOR what are the facts! The two great fascist states, are Italy and Germany. Is it reasonable to believe, that if the "Church of Rome" were the power behind this form of dictatorial government, the leader of German "fascism." would be fighting it, and the "church" would be fighting himl Read over the press dispatches from Borlin and Chicago yesterday, note what Propaganda Minister Goebbels had to say about Cardinal Mundelein of Chicago, and what Cardinal Mundelein had to say of "Paper Hanger Hitler 1" . Reconcile those facts, if you can, to a pro-fascist Catholicism! It simply doesn't make sense. AS to Italy, a different situation exists. But those familiar with Italian fassism, know that it was only after a bitter and extended fight with the Vatican that Mussolini finally sued for peace and secured what might be termed a compromise of "armed neutrality" which still exists. It is a matter of com mon knowledge that the present Pope, has at times been the bitterest foe of fascist imperialism, and militaristic domestic oppression, II Duce has had to face. Does this indicate the power behind the rise of fascism is the Catholic church f FINALLY fascism is only one form of totalitarian govern mentcommunism is the other. In any broad view of the spread of, absolutism as opposed to free democratic government, it is impossible to consider one, without considering the other. Where does the Catholic church staud on communism' Needless to say the Greek church was completely destroyed in Russia, and is only starting to revive today, tinder the STRICT EST control of the StHlin dictatorship. In Spain and Mexico, the Catholic church has been, and is today fighting with its back to the wall, for its life. Certainly when the "Church of Rome" is being fought by COMMUNISM in countries, where it controls, and by FASCISM in countries where fascism is on the top; to contend that it is the power behind cither, can only be placed under the heading of complete and unmitigated nonsense. YET as above stated that is the charge that is being made, by certain individuals and organizations at the present time, and judging by the exhibits at hand, it is not eonfined to this locality, or to this country, but is fairly general in certain countries of Europe. All of which is deplorable, and from the standpoint of inter nal and external peace and security, DYNAMITE. NEEDLESS to add this paper holds no brief for the Catholic church, or any OTHER church. The editor is not. a Catholic, and as far as known there happen to be no members of that faith, on the staff. This paper like all other papers, represents no church And in taking a definite stand on an issue like this, it is not fighting the foes of the Catholio church, or any OTHER church, it is fighting the foes of religious freedom and toler ance. It is fighting the forces of religious bigotry, intolerance and hate. It is fighting for the principles of a free democracy, and the Constitution of the United States. PERHArS we are merely fighting a straw man. VS e certainly Vinno an Rut hnviiw. hurl considerable exnerieuce along such lines, certain symptoms here and abroad impress us as suspicious. At nv rule would much prefer fichtinff a straw man, and discovering that our efforts and fears had been groundless: than VU. to combat, a real dancer when it FIRST showed its head, and then discover too late, that it had gained a foothold, which prompt action and publicity might nave prevented. So much for that. . We cnu only add to those contemplating another barrage of communications and pamphlets, that the incident is closed, for the PRESENT, as far as this paper is concerned.

For Instance no post graduate medi cal school as yet offers a course leading to the degree Doctor of Preventive Medi cine. Numerous universities offer courses leading to the degree Doctor of Pub lic Health but this degree may be granted to btudenti wbo have not had a regular medical training. The physician who would practice preventive medicine exclus ively must acquire the special knowl edge and skill for such work where and as he may certainly the hide bound medical schools offer him no encouragement. Busy, popular practitioners, not only general practitioners but spec ialist as well and particularly the brand known as baby or child spe cialists, being untutored In preven tive medicine, ore likely to show Indifference and often Intolerance toward efforts to enlighten them. For example, when urged to see that every Infant or child shall re ceive an Adequate ration of vitamin D In the most acceptable and eco nomical form to prevent rickets, these doctors blatant with success, are likely to brush aside the sugges tion with the remark: "I haven't seen caso of rickets In years." Although current medical litera ture contains hundreds of articles dealing with everyday vitamin defic iencies, only two years ago the sec ond assistant deputy sub-chief of an l Interior department In a well pub licized came lay DacK nia ears and brayed that "a physician with a large practice among the middle and upper classes rarely sees cases in which he suspects vitamin defic iency." The same eminent authority has since learned that vitamin de flclencea are widespread in this country, although practitioners of machine medicine have not yet learned to diagnose these vague ail ments and it Is not likely that , a machine will ' be Invented to make the diagnosis for them. Thanks largely to the decline of the old outdoor phobia and the steadily Increasing populorlty of open air life for babies, sunbnths, sun suits and bare feet and harp "knees.

(It was Sunday) Allied armies continue gains Western front, and capture tho sands of German soldlen. the atrocious full-fledged rickets which wss fairly common 30 years ago la now quite rare. The more sun light the baby's skin absorbs the less chance for rickets to develop, for vitamin D, produced In the skin by the chemical action of the ultra violet rays of direct sunlight pre vents rickets. Unfortunately the old delusion about "taking cold" still keeps many a baby from enjoying his place In the sun. Not only the well-meaning but Ignorant old gran nies but also a good many old fogy doctors conspire to cheat the baby out of the life-giving and health assuring ultraviolet rays provided by nature. For this reason, and only this reason, It becomes necessary to feed every baby a month or more old a dally ration of vitamin D In one form or another to supplement the ordinary diet, which never can supply enough vitamin D to keep the baby In the best possible phys ical condition. At present the con sensus is that s thousand units of vitamin D Is a fair daily ration for the baby. QUESTION'S AND ANSWERS Fibroid Tumor Ben Told fibroid tumor Is form of cancer. Is this true? (Mrs. W.E.M-) Answer Nothing poisonous or ma lignant about fibroid tumor It merely causes excessive bleeding, pain or other troubles In mechani cal way. Some women have fibroid for years and never suffer any ser ious distress. Wheat to Eat Please find enclosed ten cent coin and stamped envelope bearing my address, for your booklet "Blood and Health.'1 Was It a typographical error when your column said whole wheat bread contains 400 units of vitamin B to the ounce? If that Is correct, would not two ounces of whole wheat bread supply an adequate daily ration of vitamin B for an adult? (B.C.) Answer An ounce of whole wheat bread contains 40 units of vitamin B. A fair day's ration of vitamin B Is 900 units, or say 30 units for each 100 calories. From 2yt to 3 ounces of wheat germ would supply 900 to 1,000 units of vitamin B. Plain wheat, shredded wheat, puffed wheat, wheat flaked, contains 60 units of vitamin B per ounce. Send stamped envelope bearing your address and ask for monograph "Wheat to Eat."

Bfverly Hi rallt situations in New York, precipitated by divorce, but I bumped Into one of the most unusual in-a quiet din ing placa near the Plaza the other evening. At one table sat a mother and her daughter and a woman friend. Into the room came the wo man's divorced husband and their son. who stopped by the table and exchanged greetlnga briefly. Mid-way the mesl a msn about town, reputed In the headlines as causing the break-up between the wife and hus band, came In with a buoyant young creature. He passed both husband and wife, bestowing Jerky nods, but spoke to neither. The most remarkable memory 1 ever encountered was that of John Rlngllng, the circus man. Name any county in any state and he could name the county seat, the names of the railroads running through; chief Industries and products. I happened to mention my birthplace In Mis souri, a town ' of a few thousand. Instantly he told its location, what railroads ran through and recalled that on a certain date a wheel in a chariot race rolled Into the "blues," the general admission seats and in jured two people. Out of curiosity, I had the flies of the newspapers of I I years before looked up, and he was correct.

Closing time for Too Late to Clas sify Ads is 1:30 p. m. fN THE same day Justice Van Devanter retires, the Judiciary committee of the senate, by a vote of ten to eight, reports ADVERSELY on tho president's court-stuffing bill. That Is to gay, the majority report of the committee Is that the bill DO NOT PASS. This doesn't mean that It won't pass. It means merely that the Judgment of the committee Is AGAINST the bill. The senete, If It chooses, can disregard the commit tee's report. But It la significant that out of 18 members of the committee ten senators (seven of them Democrats and only three Republicans) have ; the courage to vote their convic tions In a crisis Involving the whole future of constitutional government In this country.

They were overwhelmed with abuse. They were termed traitors to a noble cause. They were held up to scorn and contempt. But we have lived to see the time when we are ready to give FERVENT THANKS to these twelve senators for KEEPING US OUT of the League of Nations. If by some unexpected chance the President's court-stuffing bill should fall to paxs congress, we may live to hall those ten senators and others i who may Join them later as the saviors of constitutional government In America. mm Jed Kiley has a cigarette case ot the Duke of Windsor he once ad mired while running a Paris cafe, "Keep It." said the then Prince.

"There are many unusual domestic By FRANK JENKINS. IUSTICE . VAN DEVANTER retires from the supreme court and his retirement draws headlines compar able to those announcing the be ginning of a war or the outcome or a presidential election. IT V TO a year or two ago, the re tirement of a supreme court Jus tice would barely have rated the front page; probably under a modest headline down toward the bottom. Now It Is a TREMENDOUS event. That gives some hint of the changes that have been taking place In thl. country. TP TO the beginning of the pres- ent term of the supreme court.
