Is Secy. Wallace Impractical?
IE have always liked Secretary Wallace. We have always
" regarded him and still do as one of the best, and in many
ways one of the "biggest men in the Roosevelt administration
The most common charge against him has been he is im.
practical, visionary. We believe it would be more accurate to
say he is a man of vision, a PRACTICAL idealist who is true
to his ideals. .
This quality far from being a liability, is, under conditions
which now exist in this country and the world a tremendous
asset. Amidst all the prevailing confusion, with the entire
world in a condition of flux, we need men of vision, men with
ideals, men with a clear eye who can see from the immediate
present into the future, and adjust their policies accordingly.
This Secretary Wallace does. And if anyone will carefully
examine his record and his writings, since he took his place in
the present government, that charge of being visionary and
impractical, will contract to infinitesimal proportions, if it
doesn't ENTIRELY disappear.

CEC'RETART WALLACE at the height of the depression.
J with agriculture tottering toward the abyss, favored reduc
tion of acreage and production, and cash benefits for the farmer.
He maintained the first thing that had to be done was to take
agriculture, supporting one-third of our population' from the
red, and put it in the black.
This was DONE, and it was the greatest single factor in
priming the pump and putting the ship of state upon an even
economic keel once more.
When the danger bad passed, opponents of the adininistra
tion started to belabor the secretary of agriculture because he
favored a program of scarcity the plowing in of wheat and
cotton, slaughtering little pigs, when there were millions of
men. women anr. children, without enough to wear or eat.
These critics failed to note two things.
First that in a capitalistic society, it isu't what can be pro
duced, but what can be produced AT A PROFIT, that is the
vital factor. Second that throughout this campaign of scarcity,
Secretary Wallace was careful to point out that the program
was temporary,' for the immediate emergency alone aud that
in the long view, greater production not less was the goal to
be reached.
THIS should have pretty well destroyed the idea that Seere

the ground, but as the political excitement increased and
culminated in the presidential campaign, it didn't. Once start
a political catch-word going, and it grows like the proverbial
snowball, regardless of the evidence to sustaiu it.
However we are convinced, that fair minded and competent
observers, agree today, that there was nothing impractical or
visionary in Secretary Wallace or in his ' program, in fact
entirely the reverse. That program was in the best sense of
the term, PRACTICAL idealism, that worked. ,

Da Mall Tribune waot Ag,
NJOW it tins boon frequently stated, that the Roosevelt ad
ministration bus bt?eu aud is today, radically pro labor
so fearful of losing votes that it refuses to oppose the most
extravagant demands of organized labor iu any way. "Any
thing that Jobu L. Lewis asys, goes", etc., eto,
"Well the other day Secretary Wallace delivered an address
on the general subject of minority political groups, including
labor. "We have read nothing recently ou this subject, which
impresses us as more pertinent, practical and convincing pre
senting a clearer view of the complex situation, and the course
that must bo followed, particularly by organized labor, if serious
trouble is to be averted, than the following.
We quote:
"If government helps to tncrentm the piirohMlng power of the
underprivileged, It la exceedingly Important that the under
privileged, In turn, recognize thoir obligations to eociety. They
have a duty which they must pny to the general welfare If
their rights are to be realized.
"If the underprivileged, if laborers and farmera ask for an
Increase In the good things of Ufa, they must be sure that
provision li made for increasing the quantity of those good
things. It la proper aud sensible to bargain collectively lor a
fntr eh a re of a total Income, but tho possibilities of euoceas are
brighter when the term of the bargain look toward an In
creased, rather than a decreaaed. total Income.
"There Is a tendency for organized groups to believe that by
exerting preasuro they can get from eociety more than Is there.
They havo had enough temporary eucceaa with the use of
pressure to be encouraged In tula belief. It la eaay for farmer
to feol that wltb the help of government they can get 13 a
bushel for their wheat year after year. It la easy for Industrial
corporations to foel that through monopolistic tariffs and rigid
prices they can rake in exceaslve profits year after year. It is
easy for labor to feel that because corporations have frequently
aocomulated excessive profits, organised labor has only to put
on the screws and obtain, year after year, Increasingly higher
wages and shorter hours.
"It Is perfectly true that any on group can for t time get
a larger share of tht national Income, but It doesn't work
when all try It at the same time. Sooner or later the pressure
game wlU blow up In our faces fin less we provide a constantly
larger national Income to divide up. Tills is really a matter of
simple but intensely practical arithmetic. Unless we learn It,
our future Is black Indeed.
"The heart of Wis problem today In every great nation of
the world is to give the government power to serve the general
welfare efficiently. In many foreign nations tha need U no
great that they have forgotten alt about democracy, tn the
United State, we demand above everything that the general
welfare be nerved by the strengthening of democracy, not the
weakening of It."
Secretary Wallace lias as bis permanent ideal, a free democ
racy, that can so be adjuster to tbe stresses and strains of a
changed economic and .social world that it will WORK.
Toward the realization of this ideal, he places increased
production, the creation of more wealth, as paramount, a fairer
distribution of that wealth to nil the people as vital, but neither
can be done, unless all people, workers, artisans, farmers, pro
fessional men, business men, industrialists, and what have you,
abandon the practice of working for their selfish class interests
alone, and unite, to promote the welfare and well being of all.
For industry cau't endure without satisfied labor and labor
an't endure without profitable industry.
Tf that is impractical idealism, then a little more impractical
idealism is what this country NKKDSI

It took many years of education
to make reporters stop using the
word "aphasia (which means loss
of speech) when
they mean am
nesla. which
means loss of
memory, it will
take years
make them stop
using the word
"moron" (which
moans stupid,
feeble - minded)
when they mean
depraved, vicious.
Immoral or crim
inal. The great
majority of mor
ons are good cltlzcna and In propor
tion with the general population they
commit no more offenses against
morals and law than do people of
average or better than average In
telligence. Degeneration Is deterioration, sink
ing from a higher to a lower level, i
a pathological change In cells or Ms
sues in consequence of which the
normal function la Impaired or lost.
Physiologically or medically the
changes occurring in cella and tissues
of the body or tho Individual in the
early or incipent stoe of arterios
clerosis Is degeneration.
If this retrogressive pathological
change Is recognized before too much
damage has been done, 'it Is possible
not only to arrest the procceas but
even to reverse it end bring about
regeneration and rejuvenation. A
man is as old as his arteries; a wo
man as old as she looks without
make-up.
Mortality statistics for several dec
ades have seemed to Indicate that,
while the Infectious disease have
been steadily decreasing in preval
ence and tho toll of lives taken- by
such disease aud their sequels has
gradually declined, tho degenerative
diseases, notably cardiovascular de
generations (arteriosclerosis, heart
disease, apoplexy, angina pectoris,
Br 1 glit's disease) hove become rather
more prevalent and have disabled
and destroyed a larger proportion of
tne population. This apparent in
crease in the tendency to degenerate
may be partly due to more accurate
diagnosis today, but not altogether.
Jt signifies one Im
quite clearly: that Is, public health
provisions and sanitary regulations
take care of the Infectious diseases,
but the degenerative diseases can be
prevented only through personal hy
glence. Within reasonable limitations
it la up to everyone to decide for
himself whether he shall spend his
youth In wrong living or keep it to
lighten the sunset or his years. Al
though the older medical authors
ascribed early onset of cardiovascu
lar degeneration to the inheritance
of bad material for the tubing (the
arteries) they nevertheless added hat
more commonly the premature ag
ing results from the bad use of good
vessels. Certainly you can't blame
grandfather for the alcohol, tobacco, I
over-eating, syphilis, lead, repression
ui we ngnt-or-nignt emotion, and
the strain and stress of your unnat
ural mode of life.
Prom the purely nhvaical not
merely moral) point of view, it is
sound medicine to say that the state
of a man's arteries Is an Index of
his personal hygiene. Cardiovascular
degeneration is largely one's own
matting, to a majority of men death
comes through this portnlto 26
percent of all who die after forty.
Don't begin dying yet awhile.
