The Captain Should Act
ACCORDING to our "News Behind the News" column John
h, Lewis had luncheon with Theodore Roosevelt and his
sister, Alice Longworth the other day.
The conversation became animated. " Above the din of the
dining room T. R. jr.'g strident voice beeame audible to everyone
near his table.
"But what I want to know Is what la going to happen to
people Ilk ma snd my sister I"
"I am not Interested In what li going to happen to you
and your sister, I am Inter sated In the labor movement I" waa
tha CI O. chief's rejoinder.
a a a - a
THERE you are boys and girls, there is the essence of the
nreaent. lahnr conflict, which is such a thorn in Uncle Sum's
epidermis at the present moment.
T. R. jr., is only interested in himself and his own class;
John h. Lewis doesn't give a whoop about T. R. jr. and hh
class, he is solely concerned him HIMSELF and his class, what
is going to benefit and what is going to injure the labor movement.
In the heat of argument both of them lost sight of the im
portant point which isn't what is going to happen to T. R. jr.
and the class ho represents; but what is going to happen to
this country, and the people in it, regardless of how they may
be CLASSified.
AS long as this little luncheon-tableau correctly symbolizes
the labor conflict, a militant self interest on one side,
battling with an uncompromising self interest on the other, we
can see little hope of industrial peace.
The situation is so clear to this column, it is a mystery to
us why so few people in the country as a whole, seem to see it
The country can't go on at the present rate, in the present
direction, without crashing on the rocks, as far as a democratic
government is concerned, and that will be a crash not only
for T. R. jr. and John L. Lewig, but a crash for all of us. For
whether we like it or don't, the fact remains, we are on the
same boat and can't get off of it.
TO carry that figure on a little bit, regard tho picture of an
ocean liner, driftine. nearer and nearer the racks.
What would happen if a
from his first class cabin to the
"Look here you what'g going to happen to inel" And from
the engine room up rushed the chief stoker and shaking his
grimy fist at the captain, he would cry "Hey yon, I don't
care what happens to HIM, I want to know what's going to
happen to ME!"
And that spirit prevailed throughout the ship. What would
the captain do about it T
LITTLE debate needed on that point. The captain would
tell that, first class nasscnecr to so back to his cabin, and
shut up. He would tell that chief stoker, to go back to his
post and keep the steam up. He would tell them both he wasn't
interested in what happened to them, he was only interested in
the ship, and if they had a lick of sense that's all they would
be interested in. For if the ship were saved, they would all
be saved; if the ship were lost, they would all be lost.
For when a ship is in danger

is going to happen to them and their "sisters", but what is
going to happen to the ship. U is up to them as good citizens
to concentrate on that, not whether or not their precious toes
are going to be pinched. It is up them, to consider what is best
for all on board, not for this one clans or that, for if the passen
gers and crew, insist upon fighting about who will be saved,
no one will be. And that goes or everybody, whether one
happens to be the son of a famous ex-president, m parlor B,
or the son of an obscure Welsh coal miner, down near the ash

This, bickering and backbiting, this yapping about "what is
going to happen to US, what's going to happen to US!" and
complete indifference to what is going to happen to others and
the ship, has in our judgment gona far enough.
It's time for the captain to

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
The Garlic Legend
Ia It true that garlic purifies the
blood? (J. H.)
Answer Well, It does as well as
beans or cabbage.
Telangiectases
Do you know of any treatment of
telangiectases except skin grafting?
(Miss M. M. A.)
Answer The minute dilated ven
ules may be obliterated by treat
ment similar to the chemical obllter
tlon of varicose veliu by Injection.
Finest gauge needle, strong light and
binocular loupe, plus skill and pa
tience, required. Each venule or
group of venules must be entered
with point of needle and gently
scarified. Any good doctor who carea
to take the trouble can give such
treatment satisfactorily. In some In
stances of telangiectases In a lim
ited area electro-desiccation of the
venules may bo preferable.
Spotted Fever
Any risk In spending vacation In
Yellowstone park, that 18 risk of
contracting Rocky Mountain spotted
fever? (N. L. W.)
Answer Not enough to worry
about. Rocky Mountain spotted fever
occurs more in the Bitter Root val
ley northeast of Yellowstone park.
Wood ticks, feeding on large anknals
and on some rodents, convey infec
tion by their bite. Wear tick proof
clothing, Inspect body dally for
ticks. A vaccine confers protection
against milder types of the disease.

In a few days, though It hasn't
been snnounced yet, th senate for
eign relatione committee will hold
a hearing on senate resolution 48,
Introduced by Senator Bon of Wssh.
Ington. The resolution politely re
quests that the state department get
a less unsatisfactory answer from
the Imperial Japanese government as
to Just whst those fishing bosts are
fishing for beyond (snd, it Is In
sisted, sometimes Inside) the three
mile limit In Alaskan waters.
Ar they fishing, for Instance, for
salmon? Or Just crabbing?
What they are crabbing, the Alss
kans Insist, Is the Alssksn sslmon
Industry.
Only 10 msny sslmon can ba taken
under the lew: some must be lft
to go up th rivers to spawn.
The Japanese government claims
no Interest In salmon, their love-llfe
or snythlng else Illegal or unpleas
ant Just crobs.
To this th Alaskans retort:
1. Whenever an American ip
proachei a Japanese fishing boat all
activities cease.
a. Observers have sen sslmon net
spread st night.
a. Th Jspsnese are selling sslmon
on the world msrkot which are aup
posed to hav come from whence no
salmon evr came before.
To atop all this, the Alsskan dele
gate to congress, Mr. Dlmond. drew
up a bill snd Introduced It In the
house. Senator Bone wrote an Iden
tic measure for th senate.
They would push foreign fisher
men far out Into the Bering ses.
Both bills are In their respective
committees awaiting the report of
the department! concerned, com
merce and state.
What Messrs. Bone end Dlmond
are more Interested In Is the fish
story which th member of the naval
Intelligence division will tell nls
chief when he get back. They'll
never aee hla report. But they are
waiting Its effect.
Tax evasion hearings continue to
engage th nation with example! of
how th rich slip through th fingers
of th Internal revenue bureau and
avoid their Income taxes.
At th depsrtment of Justice they
can ttl a tale of how they stopped
one of the simplest and easiest
method of tax dodging by means
of "wash ssles" selling stock at
loss with the understanding It was
to be returned.
When the A. O.'i boys started
their fight, the courts had tradition
ally held a sale legal even If the
evidence showed that It was done
for the purpose of svoiding the tax.
The first D. of J. man to plead a
case was accused of making a new
deal epeech with "one eye on the
law and the other on the election
returns."
In 1634. the task of winning a

Today, "wash sales" ar virtually
wiped out. Two men did It.
With the boat of Idle men In Ohio
and Pennsylvania, It'a fortunate for
the state unemployment compensa
tion funds that the lawa providing
for Insurance for the Jobless don't
go Into effect until 1938. However,
even If they were In effect now, the
strikers wouldn't benefit.
Only those not participating In the
strikes, but who sre deprived of
their Jobs "through no fault of their
own" by luch methods as picketing,
forcible closing of plsnts, or such
ouUlde Interference with their em-
piovmant would rate benefit.

from the realm of public discussion,
in distant Islands and on tha bsals
of political preferment."
He told the Maryland Bar associa
tion In a prepared address thst op
ponents of the bill would accept no
compromise.
"The court packing plan must be
withdrawn," he eald.

tc the unobservlng."
"It Is within -my recollection un

bill," h said, "without one word of
protest, one letter of Justification for
the measure by the minority."
Wheeler argued that the hill would
undermine Independence of the courts
and civil liberties.
