The President s Speech rrERE is only one criticism this column would make of Presi dent Roosevelt's speech, that is its timing. We wish instead of last night, the speech had been delivered three or four months ago. Then it would have done great good- It might, indeed, have prevented what was only a recession, from becoming a depression. It will do good now, of course. This column predicts H will pnll the ship-of-state out of its tail spin and prevent another major catastrophe. But as previously stated, TIME was the essence in this second emergency. . POR say what yon will, about depressions of the past, there is no question the PRESENT unpleasantness is largely, if not ENTIRELY, psychological. It goes straight back to Hamlet, that there is nothing good or bad but THINKING makes it so. ..... UNLIKE the Hoover debacle, there is plenty of money in the country today. The banks are fiill.of.it. Even more important that money, thanks to the present administration is secure. There have been no bank failures, comparatively speak ing. There have been no large business failures. The money Las been here, there and everywhere. , The trouble has been, no one, or very : few, have been disposed to use it. The individuals went on a buyer's strike; the capitalists on an investment strike. And the fundamental reason, in both cases, was fear, loss of confidence, a condition the President of the. country, ALONE, was in a position to dispel. JUST why he didn't do this, remains one of the major political mysteries of the day. One of the most astute politicians ever to sit in the White House and a congressional election in the offing, self interest from a partisan standpoint alone, would have seemed to have called for an abrupt change in policy, not any abandonment of reform, but a temporary truce, during which the ship of state could have returned to an even keel, and a normal business morale restored, before the crusade was resumed. However that action wasn't taken, and it docs no good to cry over spilt milk. We must make the best of the situation as it is, not what it might have been. AS usual under such conditions, the verdict on the speech, divides pretty much along party lines. The pro-Roosevelt people cheer it; the antis boo it, or like the Oregonian damn it with faint praise and declare it will do no good. Well this column, as cften happens, stands somewhere be tween the two extremes. We don't like the idea of more public spending, increasing the national deficit, to even more astro nomical fiirures. But under the circumstances we see nothing else to do, for with the national psychology what it is, we see no immediate prospect of" a resumption of normal buying or normal investment, by the people. So if it IS to be done in time, Uncle Sam must do it. And if it ISN'T done, then nothing can prevent a major disaster, and probably national disaster, at least as far as the preservation of democracy is concerned.

Ilka a copybook line, but NO WORDS WERE EVER TRUER. Ye Poets Corner 80 IODIN MAKES THE HAIR WAVEf A tolerable amount of well, liter ary license, exaggeration, enthusiasm, not to aay lying, la all right, even doea good, but after all we have r?yz. to draw the line somewhere. I dare not print pre corrcspon dents clsely what mnny say about lodln ration. In tact 1 don't believe all they aay about It myself. Yet there are many things I don't taov'Mj , about tho ef fecta of lodln In the diet. 8ome years ago a correspondent Informed me that after a few months on the lodln ration he or she had been gratified to find that a varicose ulcer of many years standing had finally healed and no longer gave any trouble. I expressed skepticism as to the part the lodln ration had played In the healing of the old ulcer. I know that there are a good many persona worrying along like that with unhealed varicose ulcer' simply because they try to treat It themselvea and seldom or never seek proper medical treatment or If they do happen to consult a physician they do not remain under his care long enough to obtain a cure. Vari cose ulcer properly treated will heal completely In every case, provided It has not developed malignancy, that Is cancerous degeneration. But no specific salve or "home treatment" can take the place of the medical and aurglcal treatment a physician applies. First a medical colleague reminded i was like that. Last summer aha no ticed the hair on top of her bead was taking on a natural wave. Within only a few weeks all of her hair was beginning to curl. Now It haa a love ly wave of Its own. without the aid of beauty parlors or home-style curl ers. Could this possibly be from the lodln ration? She !s greatly pleased, oi course?" I decline to answer on the ground that I have more Important lying waiting to be done. But I can assure all and sundry that en lodln ration never does anybody any harm. And complete Instructions will be mailed on request If you (1) do not clip this Item or tell rne what I said, and (2) Inclose a stamped envelope bearing your address. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Asking For It Is a person who whistles constantly apt to suffer any 111 effects from the habit? (L. 8.) Answer He Is entitled to 30 days grace, but after that It Is Justifiable for the Innocent bystander to throttle him with his bare hands. Otherwise there are no serious 111 effects. How To Breathe At our house where your column causes many a lusty battle, we are all at odds over carbon dioxide, car bon monoxide, and the sources and effects of these. (Mrs. H. O. W.) Answer Pass the hat next time you have a battle about It, and when you amass ten cents slip It to me, with a three-cent stamped envelope bearing your address, for a copy of the booklet "How to Breathe," wntch ought to bring peace) and possibly understanding to your house. Mean while you mighty sweetly remind Mr me that small doses of thyroid hor- W' thnt venenwnt argument at table mone nave been more or less routine medication In tho treatment of such cases for yeara and the effects of lodln are analogous with the effects of thyroid. Indeed, lodln la the na. ural stimulus and activator of thvrold gland function. Then 1 received from several med ical readers references to or reDrlnts of scientific articles in current med ical literature In which the beneficial effects of lodln or thyroid were urged m tno treatment or chronic varicose ulcer. 8o let Mrs. M. B. W. have her say: "My daughter, a young woman, be gan toklng your lodin ration about two yeara ago. she had always had straight, stringy hair, not only on top of her head but all of her hair slows up or stops digestion. Take Off the Henries As soon as the weather gets a little warmer my husband suffers with prickly heat rash. What can we do to prevent It? (Mrs. L. M. R., St. Paul, Minn.) Answer Treatment for prickly heat: Toke off excess clothing, bathe with tepid starch water or Iran water, dry with soft towel and pow der heavily with cornstarch and borlo acid powders, equal ports. Leave Irritated skin exposed to air as much as possible. Ed Note: Persons wishing to" communicate with Dr. Brady should send letter direct to Dr. William Brady, M. 11.. 205 El Camlno, Beverly Hills, Calif. IT is, as we see it, rather like a major operation. J No one LIKES to go under the knife. But when conditions exist which, if not corrected mean death, correcting them, by. drastic action, is the only sensible the only POSSIBLE thing to do. Whon such a condition is corrected, the doctors have done their job. The future is thpn up to the patient. And this is certainly Roing to be true of Uncle Sam after this second finan cial operation, this shot-in-the-arm, this blood transtusion, or what yon will. There is a limit to such things. There can't, as we see it, be another one, at least, not without a monetary irnlation that will threaten catastrophe. But it is just as true that this one had to'be carried out. . . . NOW with purchasing power artificially restored, it will tie up to the people, particularly the capitalists, large and small, to take up the burden when the water to prime the pump is gone. Private business must do permanently, what puhlic business the government, can only do for an emergency. And if private business will only read the President 's sreeeu cf last night with an open mind, forget its hates and preju dices and fears for once, and tnke his appeal for cooperation and team play to heart this can and will be done. SHAME on those partisan malcontents in congress who like Minority Leader Snell, described the President s request for a resumption of pump-priming as futile, because the well is dry! The well ISN'T dry, and every informed person knows it. There is no country in the world as rich in national resources, i.s this country; no country where a general material well being can more easi'v be restored and maintained, if the people of the country will only stop their bickering and squabbling and get together. As President Roosevelt said in his opening sentence last iiight t 'The prosperity of the United States 1. of necessity a primary concern of the government " It is. If the effort to halt this depression fails, Roosevelt fails, yes very likely democracy fails. It is as much to the President's interest as that of any business man, any citizen, that normally good times be restored.

He gets from 30 to 40 plays a week. Most of them are heaved Into the waste basket, which Is another way of saying they are returned to their owners, but occasionally he likes one well enough to risk a bankroll. Not long ago a manuscript bohbod up that Attracted his attention. It waa not a good scrip: mechanically. It was much ewry. But he liked the way the author wrote, and he de ckled the fellow needed more than anything else to familiarize himself with the theatre. So he sent for him. "No, I haven't seen very mnny plnya," he admitted "They cost money; I haven't much loft for entertainment." "Well." Shubert laid him. "this play is no pood, but you can write, and I think what you need Is to learn the mechanics of the thmtre And so I am going to send yon to every play in town and to every opening for the rest of the scown S that you con study and learn If tt helps you. swell; if it doesn't nothlnn's loet. That's all, now. and here is your play." This author is still catching up on ml.vslng dramas, and some day he'll turn out one of his own. And when he does It seems to me that John Golden's Rtory Is from a dif ferent angle, although It adds up tho same way. A stranger walked into his office and told him ho wanted to write a book. But the economic pressure was too much for him It had him worried and down. When he slaved all dny and commuted vast distances to his Inexpensive home, all his en ergy was used. Would Mr. Gulden help him? Well. Oolden had never seen the man. But he inquired about his habits, and he looked at part of tho I manuscript which the fellow had ! with him. "Come see me tomorrow.

In the south ot j Prance you can live for $18 or J20 a week. And it's quiet there end rest- j ful. Here's a steamship ticket end ; 500. and now I've got to go out So I long". All this happened some time ego. 1 However,, It hasn't been so mnny i months since the young man walked Into Ooldon'a office and placed 500 on the desk. In cash. Ho doesn't want his name or his book mention ed, end so it is withheld. But he never could have scored a bullseyo without a friendly boost from John Oolden. By FBANK JENKINS T I CHARD v WHITNEY, five times president of the New York stock exchange. Is on his way to Sing Sing to begin a five-to-ten year prison term for grand larceny. When big men turn dishonest. It Is one of the world's great tragedies. But when they DO turn dishonest, prison is the place for them Just the same aa anybody else. WHEN big men go crooked It Is a tragedy, because, Ideally, big ness should be achieved only as a result of honesty and fair dealing. USUALLY it works out that way but there are exceptions to nearly all rules. WHITNEY'S membership on the stock exchange sold for $59,000. On March SO (two weeks ago) a similar sale was made for (32,000. The dlference of $7,000 represents growing confidence in the future of business. (Whether we like it or not, the stock exchange does have a lot to do with real business.) $59,000, however, represents a big drop from the quarter of a million or more commanded by stock ex change memberships back in the boom days of 1029. TRYING to maae money too fast, Whitney went in too deep, got out on a limb and In an effort fcv save himself stole trust funds com mitted to his care. His offense was exactly the same as that of the con fidential clerk who gambles, loses and steals his employer's money In an effort to play even. Trying to make money too fast throws grave temptations In men's way, and only the STRONG are able to resist. Whitney wasn't strong enough. BUT Richard Whitney Is a sad sub ject like evervone else who otuta wrong. Let's fonget him. But FIRST let's make a solemn resolution to COME CLEAN If ever WE get out on a limb. It's a lot better to GO BROKE honestly than to get away with It dishonestly.
