Such action is equivalent to
American 'citizen, because he has been the unfortunate victim
of a gang of crooks. If any evidence were needed to prove the
nioral bankruptcy, of the League, this cynical and cowardly ac
tion, supplies it.
J0T only has the League failed in its main purpose which
' was to advance the cause of world peace, it now gives aid
and comfort to those who worship the god of war, and put their
faith in armed foroe.
If the world powers that
believe that the Loyalist Spanish government is doomed to de
feat, that General Franco, supported by Germany and Italy,
is sure to win, this extraordinary action would certainly never
have been taken. . '
It is not only a plain case,
perately fighting for its life, because it IS weak; it's a case of
joining the aggressor, and kicking the victim, when he is down,

A YE verily the League of Nations has not only failed, it has
gone over to the enemy, it has sold out. Every charge

Old Man Mars must be chuckling under his -brass hat, and
mumbling: "I told you so!"
Well he wins, a little personal
AND yet declaring the League has failed is rather like de-
was delivered many years ago:
"How do you know, when it has never been tried."
The League has never been tried, even the basic principles
upon which it was established, have never been supported, its
provisions have never been carried out.
F when Japan first invaded Manchuria, the League had taken
such action as the covenant demanded, imposed at once an
economic boycott, against the aggressor, everything in the
world today, might be very different.
But the League welched, fell back upon an impotent and
belated verbal protest: and then and there signed its death
warrant, as far as being a force for world peace is concerned.
VTith slight variation the same action was followed when
Italy, followed Nippon's example, and invading Ethiopia, pro
ceeded to grab.what it wanted by force. The League did noth
ing, or nothing effective. England genuinely alarmed, forced
it to go through the motions, hut there was neither conviction
nor determination behind it. Mussolini knew this, he laughed
in John Bull 'a face.
A ND now the League reading the handwriting on the wall,
agreeing with Napoleon that God is on the side of the
heaviest battalions, betrays and double crosses, another one of
its members, because that member is weak, is coveted by the
powers that are outside the League, and unless it is given aid
by the League, is doomed to defeat.

Would F.D.R. Win?
A '.faithful reader'1 writes in to disagree, with our recent
opinion, that if a national election were held today, Pres
ident Roosevelt would still be several -thousaifd miles ahead
of his nearest competitor.
Woll that's 0. K. As there will be no such election until
1010, siuth an opinion can be no better than a guess, no mat
ter who happens to express it. It can't be proved right, nor can
it be proved wrong. So we are both where we started from.
However, the rensons advance by our correspondent arc
interesting, beennse instead of refuting our contention, we be
lieve they sustain it, or can he legitimately used to do so.
"The radical labor and farmer voates," reader writes,
"eleeted Roosevelt." If a national election were held today,
this vote would be hopelessly split. Instead of being solidly
for Roosevelt it would bo no better than 50. Reoheck on the
popular vote nt the last election and such a split would defeat
F. I). R. and elect his opponent.
7VM interesting, hut before we agree, we would ask our
correspondent to kindly NAME the opponent.
That was t lie nub of our particular forecast. The support
given President Roosevelt at the polls last November we admit,
is today split and scattered, seven ways to breakfast. That is
always more or less true, between elections.
lint if an el -etion were held TOMORROW, would that still
be the situation? Wo seriously doubt it. We not only doubt it,
we are convimed the scattered forces, now so apparent, would
be marshalled in a unit overnight.
S TfOR that opponent would have to be one of two types.
. Father another I.andon representing the conservative for
:ees of the country, or a John L. Lewis representing forces more
radical than Roosevelt.
Fnder such oirenmstanees. for whom would a majority of
the people of the country vote? As we see it there is only one
answer for Roosevelt.
It would not be so much enthusiasm for him. as preference
for him. over his opponent - any opponent at least that has
been seriously mentioned to date.

Phenacetln la another coaltar de
rivative similar In effect to acetanl
llde. Phenacetln is sometimes called
acetphenetldln.
Antlpyrln Is still another coaltar
derivative of similar character; Its
chemical name la phenytdlmethy-
lpyrazolon.
Pyramldon Is still another drug In
the same class, otherwise known as
amldopyrln.
Although these and other coaltar
derivatives possess Individual dif
ferences In solubility, taste, appear
ance, rapidity of action, coat, etc.,
they are more or less interchange
able, and indeed a familiar nostrum
that contains phenacetln this year
may contain acetanllld instead next
year, due to some change In the
market or a desire to assure the
world that the product contains no
acetanllld.
The common action of these coal-
tar derivatives is sedative to the
sensory portion of nerves and spinal
cord. That is, the drug benumbs
sensibility to ache, pain or distress
or discomfort of any kind. If that
were all, the coaltar drugs would be
fine for benumbing consciousness of
trouble. But unfortunately there are
other actions or effects Inseparable
from the dulling of sensation. These
drugs depress the circulation, and if
taken frequently or habitually they
disintegrate the blood, destroy red
blood corpuscles. All of the coaltar
derivatives that benumb nerves In
terfere with the vital oxygen-carrying
function of the blood. One of
the characteristic signs of poisoning,
generally chronic poisoning in ha
bitual users of these drugs Is cyna-
nosls, blueness which shows in the
Hps and the nails or in some In
stances blueness of the whole sur
face. In the same mall today came these

Can wry neck be cured surgically
or otherwise? The condition has been
present since birth, and although It

Answer Perhaps permanent de

However, you should at least have
the benefit of an orthopedic surgeon's
opinion your physician will recom
mend one. The earlier In life such
deformities are treated the better the
results will be. Delay permlta Irregular

Answer no harm, rather beneficial
to the heart and the general health,
But take It easy for a bit pause half
way up and think or hesitate as
though you must go right back down
stairs. Then finish the climb on low

Robert C. Benchley does not seem
able to make up his mind about
careering who ther to remain within
call of the studios In Hollywood or
occupy his ususl seat on the aisle as
a critic. When the theatrical season
opens he always rounds in to Join
the Death Watch, although those who
know say he can at any time he de
sires attach himself to a movie con-,
tract as either an actor or a writer.
His desertion of the critical circle
would remove the theatre's most ac

MA WE DEMOCRACY WORK."
What doea ne mean that democ
racy HASNT WORKED here In the
past?
WHAT la democracy, anyway?
Here la thla writer's leda 'of It:
"True democracy la a way of living
whose CHIEF PURPOSE la to bring
to the AVERAGE MASSES of the
people the highest possible levels of
liberty,, happiness, comfort and se
curity." FOLLOWINO the American Ideal of
democracy, we have established
In this country HIGHER AVERAGE
LEVELS of liberty, happiness, com
fort and security than are to be
found ANYWHERE ELSE ON EARTH.
The proof 'of this statement Is the
fact that people all over the world
want to emigrate to America so that
they may SHARE the Ukyrtles, the
happiness, the comforts and the se
curity possessed by the American
people.
I IOW MANY Americans want to
1 1 emigrate -to other countries in
order to better themselves? Do YOU
want to leave this country and go
somewhere else? Did your father or
your grandfather yearn to LEAVE
America and settle In Europe?
OP COURSE not.
You know you are better off In
America than you would be ANY
WHERE ELSE ON EARTH. Your
father knew It. Your grandfather
knew It. As a result, Americans have
STAYED IN AMERICA Instead of go
ing somewhere else, while foreigners
the world over try to get to America.
In other words, democracy HAS
WORKED HERE.
THE starry-eyed dreamers of the
New Deal want to RUN PEO
PLE'S LIVES for them, aa govern
ment, do In Europe. It's a lot ot
fun. you know, to run somebody
else's Ulo. But they are shrewd
enough to know that before they
can get our consent to run our lives
for us they must make us dissatisfied
with what we have. i
Thst Is why they keep telling us
that democracy HASNT worked here.
LET'S be smart. Let's remember
.the fable of the dog and the
bone.

Ha was George Stlmpson, corre
spondent of the Houston post. Mr.
Stlmpson Is a deep student of esrly
American history and he was reading
Madison's notes of the constitutional
convention. Completely absorbed In
tha Intimate record before him, he
only vaguely realized that he was
approaching the anniversary of the
very day of which he waa reading.
It was August 7, and when he came
to the date August 8, he glanced at
his calendar, and, Just then, In tha
hush pf tha night, a clock struck 13.
Before turning back to his page, h.
flipped the leaf of his desk-pad so
that the "8" In his twentieth cen
tury office matched the date of the
dramatic moment in 1787 on the
page before htm. He read on. Sud
denly this sentence leapt from the
page, the questioning words of Na
thaniel Gorham, a Boston delegate:
"Can It be aupposed," delegate Gor
ham was demsndlng (with the ob
vious Implication that It could not).
"that this -vast country Including the
western territory will, 160 years hence,
remain one nation?"
There was a simple statement in
Secretary Wallace's announcement of
the 1838 AAA conservation program
which has a story behind It, And.
what la more, a lot of fireworks ahead
of it..
The significance of the provision
referred to Is this: If the measure la
carried out, a lot of those tenant
farmers In the south will get a con
siderably larger share of the bounty
passed out by the department of
agriculture next year.
The story behind that clause la the
successful battle on the part of one
of the C. I. O.'s youngest children,
with the longest name. It is the
recently reorganized "United Cannery,
Agricultural and Allied Workers of
America."
This week the "International" will
officially take under Its wing the
Southern Tenant Farmers union. It
wa the members of the former or
ganization who lobbied so faithfully
to obtain a more abundant share of
the triple A handout last spring.
Most active of them all was Gard
ner Jackson. Washington's number
one under-dog fancier, who applied
to committees, wore down the marble
corridors of house and senate office
building and shook a 'tireless Index
finger across mahogany desks.
Now the C. I. O. framers gaze with
gratification on the fruits of their
