What if certain timber interests DON'T like itf, does that necessarily mean, Secretary Hull's reciprocity treaty is all wrong, and contrary to America's best interests 1 Condemning this trade .agreement, on one count like this, without striking a balance on the proposal aa a whole, and deter mining the compensatory benefits, would be like condemning an entire orchard, because one happened to find one infected tree in it. IN this agreement, as in any other agreement, the question is what does the agreement accomplish, for the welfare of this country AS A WHOLE not what it may, or may not do, to this special interest or some other. It is certainly a deplorable example of blind partisanship and provincialism, which would try to prejudice the people against any agreement of this kind, simply because a local business might have to take some chance of meeting stiffer foreign competition, because of it. Trans point seems to be overlooked by so many, that a reci- procal trade agreement, means what it says. It is a RECIPROCAL agreement. And a reciprocal agreement, means an agreement to give find titke, to not only ask concessions, but to grant them. It doesn't mean, and it can not mean, that one signatory is to do all the selling, and none of the buying, and the other ail the buying and none of the selling. It means the two nations are to trade with maximum mutual benefit. It would be nice if we could go back to the good old days, when this country, was opening up a new world of natural resources, unequalled before in land sent us the money to develop those resources we sent Englund our raw inatcriuls and ance the account. But we can't. "Them days" have gone forever, and this country as a debtor nation with QO unless we wish to abandon foreign trade entirely, an "J abandonment that would bring down upon us a depression far more serious than the one we are now emerging from then we must make up our minds to buy from foreign nations as well as sell to them, on the basis that involves the least sacrifice to both. This means, in general, to trade the products WE are best qualified to produce, for the articles that our FOREIGN NEIGHBORS are best qualified to produce. This is the basis of Secretary Hull's reciprocal trade agree ments. And they must be judged' not on the ground of local self interest, but on the ground of the stimulation of foreign trade as a whole, and the material betterment of the country as whole, the greatest good to the greatest number. Gangster Is Right THERE was a time this colunm resented the opprobrius title of "gBngster" as applied to the present "All-Highest" in Germany. It smacked, we thought, o Hitler while a dictator, was, vanquished Germany wanted, and as faced Central Europe, a dictator had to be pretty 'tough to hold his job. So, in our charity or innocence, or what have you, we dismissed gangster just another one of those popular, but inaccurate and unjust epithets. Now wc admit our mistake. correct titlo for the present leader of the German state, and the methods he employs. The react ion of the Hitler of one of its under-secretarics, Paris, is a case in point.

"Easy, easy, old girl, steady, now I" and holds back on the reins Just enough to keep her pacing smoothly. This may not be quite accurate, but it will convey some Idea of the sig nificance of tone, resiliency, poise, fitness to function normally. - It la essential to bear In mind the fact that the conscious mind or will has no direct control over tone, and for that matter no. medicine that purport, to be a "good tonlo" has any lasting Influence upon tone. Tone Is rather a matter of nutrition, not Just ordinary nutrition but optimal nutrition. Difference between ordinary nu trition, the state of most people who are not sick enough to go to a doc tor but still not so well as they might be, and optimal nutrition, the state of perfect health and vtte which few are able to attain. Is, In my crazy Judgment, principally a prolonged habitual or lifelong shortage of cal cium and phosphorus, sunshine vita min D. and vitamin B complex (which Is the natural B factor Includ ing Q or B-2 and several other entities not yet completely Identi fied). Instead of trying thla and that medicine which may or may not pro duce some temporary effect upon one or another of the Impaired func tions, the Individual whose health is under par must make the necessary corrections In his diet and In addition supplement his diet with certain of the essentials above mentioned. What 1, still more important and frequent ly not sufficiently Impressed upon the mind la the fact that the rem edial measures which bring about the desired rejuvenation or restora tion of resiliency are NOT medicine but simply food.

Man About Manhattan By OKOKUE TUCK KB NEW YORK For a ing time now I have been buying my peanuts from Kay Kinney. Mr. Kinney sells Ha waiian peanuts, and a vary fine peanut they are. Of course, I realize you may not like Hawaiian peanuts, and In that case you do not have to take them. For on this Island there are many fine peanut stands, and all of them offer a wide snd extraordinary se lection to choose fetORGE TUCKtt (rom. There la. for example, Mr. Jimmy Dorsey's pennut stand. He sells a sort of sweetish peanut with a swlnfl to It. Then there la Mr. Benny Goodman's stand. His goobers are altonether swing.

On the other hand some doctors who had little or no scientific know ledge of the subject, conceived the notion that too much of thla or that vitamin, especially sunshine vitamin D. might produce disastrous conse quences, and these unenlightened or perhaps subsidized doctors pro-p pagated among the laity the wholly groundless fear of giving th, baby a few more units of vitamin D than the baby should have daUy.

Deafmutlsm My parents are deafmutes. They have four children, none deaf. I have three children, one deaf. My sister has six children, none deaf; seven grandchildren, none deaf. My father was said to have become deaf after a fall when a child: mother was said to have been bitten by a dog causing brain fever, after which she lost her hearing. (Mrs. R. L. o.) Answer Thank you. As a rule, when both parents are deafmutes, one-fourth of the children will be deafmutes. However. In three-fourths of such families (both parents deaf mutes) the children are all normal. If only one parent Is a deafmute and the other normal, the children are usually normal. Copyright 1938. John P. Dllle Co. P menonn(b:lreccslc ovshrcMupupunu Ed.

Comment on the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS THIS writer listened the other day to a short talk by the head of the bank for farm co-operatives In the United States. Among other things, h, said: "We learned early that the co operatives that had the most done FOR THEM were apt to FAIL, where as those that did the most for them selves were pretty likely to succeed." HUMAN nature is human nature, and we see It working out around us air the time. The child, for example, that Is GIVEN EVERYTHING, and never has to work for anything too often turns out to be a waster, whereas the child that has to work for every thing he gets rather often becomea a thrifty and useful citizen. "Easy oome, easy go" Is a proverb that contains a lot of accumulated human wisdom. THE world has come a long way from the savage and the Jungle, and nearly all of the progress that has been made has come about as a result of the efforts of those who went out and did things for them selves Instead of waiting for some body else to do things for them. ALL of which suggests this thought on Thanksgiving Day: "Dear Lord, for the opportunities I have been given to DO THINGS FOR MYSELF I am thankful, and I pray thee that so long as I may live and so long as my children may live, these opportunities may not be limited for I realize that It Is only the opportunities that I have been given to do things for myself that have benefited me- in the long run." HpHANKSQIVINO DAY Is an Amerl- m, can institution, and tne tnanx- fulness for the opportunity to do things for ourselves Is a good Ameri can creed. 4 The Capital Parade (Continued from Page One ) gain. Being a leading advocate of a "fresh faces and new Ideas" policy for the party, his natural Inclination Is to fight. In the end. Mrs. Pratt may decide to withdraw her candidacy. Or Simp son may simply prefer to assert his own right to the executive committee place without referring to Mrs. Pratt's associations with Hoover. Or the national committee may avoid con flict by filling the executive commit tee vacancy with former Senator Dan iel Hastings of Delaware. At the mom ent, the chances for the fight look good. It Is understood that Simpson will attack Hoover without much effort to line up national committee mem bers from other states. He Is con vinced that the Republican party may as well shut up shop unless It can offer a new line of goods, and la therefore willing to take the chance of a repudiation, in the belief that there Is nothing to lose. If the fight comes off. it will be the first real indication of the national temper of the Republican organiza tions. In these last years, former President Hoover has presented his theory of government Impressively, honestly and appropriately. But the Hoover theory Is based on the as sumption that the New Deal Is wick ed through and through, and must be largely dismantled when the Re publicans come to power. On the other hand, the Simpson heory. and the theory of other Republican mod erates who won tn the recent elec tion, la based on acceptance of the New Deal as a political fait accompli, requiring many reforms but not gen eral demolition. In attacking Mrs Pratt for her connection with the former prestdent. Simpson will be asking the national body of the party to choose between his theory and Hoover's. It ts Impossible to Judge how the fight will go. although It can be said that the fact that Mrs. Pratt Is a woman will probably hurt her; the Landonlt national committeemen are likely to help Simpson, and that the friends of National Chairman John D. M. Hamilton may be inclin ed to help Mrs. Pratt. An Interesting local Indication ts given, however, by the situation In New York state, where Simpson's prestige received a serious blow from his (allure to hold down the Demo crate New York City majority. Im mediately after the election, a group of reactionary Republicans started an antt-Slmpeon agitation, contend ing that his mild concessions to New Deal liberalism had beaten the party ticket. The up-state leaders, all ex tremely conservative, mlsht have j Joined the movement and torn Simp- I son limb from limb. Instead, at a recent meeting of the most Important of the up-atatera. dlmpnm was not only Indorsed to succeed Hllles as national committee man. With the strong support of Thomas E.

Speed Blamed for Jitters And Plunge to Barbarism SAN FRANCISCO (UP) Speed, especially la communication, U what li making the world to jittery In these times, and paradoxical as tt may seem, simultaneously plung ing man Into a frantic race to bar barism. That - t the belief of Dr. Alfred Metraux, ethnologist of the famous Bishop museum of Hono lulu. "In primitive society, every mem ber of the tribe." Dr. Metraux said, "knew almost Immediately of every event that happened within the or ganisation. The opinion of the whole tribe was crystallized Immediately on any Issue. The chieftain could make a speech and arouse the group to war on a neighbor." The same thing Is happening to day, only on a world-wide scale, Dr. Metraux believes. "Through radio, telegraph, and newspapers, the nations of the world have been brought to the level of huge tribes," Dr. Metraux said. "Ac tion of the masses Is Immediately crystallised In any International In cident or any event of national af fairs. TO you from Washington by Ethelyn Evans DIES Committee Personalities: Cur iosity and Interest demanded that we Join the procession to the Dies hearings, and It was Just that a procession because the "turn over," as the witness said about the communist party membership, was about 80 percent; that Is, dozens of smart, snapplly dressed women, young women, old women, JUST wo men kept coming In and going out ditto MEN. The reason was that one could not bear except from the committee table (behind which some special guests were Invited to sit) or the press table. Thanks to our "Tribune" credentials, we pranced right by the ordinary seats and landed at said press table, among the Important Associated Press. United Press, etc., lada and lassies. They, being nlze peepul, railed 'round and shared paper and pencils, and whispered names, background and sidelights. True It's a one-man showl Con gressman Dies does all the talking and asks all the questions even for the other members of the commit tee, who whispered to him when they wanted Information. The very young witness with the incredible name of Zygmund Dobrzysnkl, United Auto mobile Workers' organizer among Ford employes, an involuntary, sub poenaed witness, had remarkable poise, clean-cut good looks, high school education, and used excellent English obviously a born leader. Important to note the type of young labor leaders now coming on. As you have read "ere this, he described communistic tactics of "boring from within." One Interesting sidelight Is the "gobs" of local attention Mr. Dies is receiving. The foremost woman lecturer on current events devoted a goodly portion of a lecture-class hour to his hearings, speaking to several hundred women from diplo matic and cabinet wives on down: and we have mentioned before that the District of Columbia D.A.R. in dorsed his Investigation. He was re cently Invited to address a meeting of the Daughters' National Defense Committee, plus the National Gen eral Board of the Society of May flower Descendants (attending mem bers of which represented at least two-thirds of the states, , and the presidents of various other patriotic groups, as Invited guests. So many came they had to hang out tho good old S-R.O. sign, and the en thusiasm was so great that the May flower Hotel office, located in the opposite side of the block-deep hotel, sent someone back to Investigate and suggested that doors be closed to avoid disturbing other meetings.
