Editorial Correspondence
Washington, D. C, Oct, 11. It certainly isn't the climate.
Had it been, George Washington would never have selected
this section of Maryland as the permanent capital of the United
States. It is now nearly the middle of OCTOBER!
Yesterday afternoon the mercury was above 90 and last
night it. was around 80. The humidity meanwhile hovers around
the same figures so sticky that even the crease in your pants
disappears.
No wonder interest in the Neutrality debate is declining,
and interest in the war ditto I
,
In faet there doesn't seem to be any war at the present
moment. Not even the familiar "all quiet" on the western
front. But we venture to say there is plenty of talking going
on, the exact nature of which is not even hinted in the news
dispatches. And here is our guess t
Not only in Paris and London but in Berlin, Topic No. 1 is
Russia, and where "the bear that walks like a man" is going
to jump NEXT.
With Der Fuehrer it certainly appears to be the familiar
ease of having the bear by the tail and not being able to let go.
But the dilemma of the allies is only slightly less distressing.
Assume that Germany can he crushed, what thent The next
hurdle not only in the Baltic but in the Balkans and the Dar
danelles will be a tougher one STALIN and COMMUNISM !
And if Germany, faced by defeat, decides to go Communist
HOW ABOUT THAT! No INDEED, we certainly don't envy
Messrs. Daladier and Chamberlain, as they ponder over Hitler's
peace overtures and face the future! It is certainly a case of
being between the devil and deep blue sea, damned if you do
and damned if you don't.
Here ia another guess. France and England are considering
an armistice with Germany, far more sympathetically than their
official communiques indicate! Not because of any desire to
accommodate Hitler but because of fear of Stalin.
.
As recently predicted, it's all over but the shouting as far
as the arms embargo is concerned. The isolationist bloc refuses
to show the white flag, but that defeat of the Tobey resolution,
fir to 2G, was a knockout blow. There is a lot of brave talk
about "just starting to fight;" but we predict, the end is near
and the greatly publicized debate won't last a third as long
as originally ballyhooed.
Senator Tobey of New Hampshire, a new member and very
conscientious one, was made the sacrificial goat. He was in
duced to manufacture his trial balloon and sanction its ascent
into the senatorial atmosphere.
He took the effort and himself very seriously. A typical
New Englnnder of the Old School but endowed with a booming
baritone, closely resembling the pompous announcer in the
"March of Time", he pleaded earnestly with his colleagues
to protect American shipping first, and attend to the arms
embargo later.
Whereupon the Senate proceeded to attend to Senator Tobey
first, and stage a partisan war-dance later.
.
It is all extremely amusing. This pious talk about politics
being adjourned in time of national crisis for example. You
should have seen the "NON-PARTISAN" antics of Messrs.
Barkley, Pittman, Connally et al after that vote wus an
nounced, and the scurrying for private wires to break the
glad news to Roosevelt I Barkley was so jubilant (this is off
the record!) he condescended to take a drink with his
ex-mortal enemy, the new Senator from his own state, "Happy
Chandler!"
"Happy Chandler," by the way, may be well named, but
he didn't look very happy when he took his seat in the Senate
Chamber he looked scared pink and extremely UNhappy.
There were filters on the Republican side when the Kentucky
Governor took the arm of his former primary foe and the pair
walked to the rostrum where that, "poker-playing, whiskey
drinking, evil old man" Garner awaited them with his bene
diction. No doubt the Mail Tribune will get the picture, which
deserves immortality in the political Rogues Gallery under the
general caption of satire! Incidentally Happy was escorted
from Kentucky by a retinue, male and female, that, would have
done justice to Iluey Long in the Kingfish'a prime. After the
Senate adjourned, a great time was had by all, according to
the grapevine.
Washington is a popular place to try out new plays, before
tackling N. Y. Helen Hayes and Philip Merivale opened here
last night in a serio-comic opus entitled "Ladies and Gentle
men" written by Charles MacArthur (not Charley McCarthy)
and Ben Hocht. (Mr. MacArthur is Helen Hayes' husband.)
Well as a "first night" the production was a success. The
National theatre was packed, all Washington's chivalry and
beauty there in white ties and tails, and there were the usual
curtain calls at the close (no speeches however).
But if the dramatio critic of the Medford Mail Tribune
knows anything about plays (which is doubtful) this produc
tion, amusing as it is in spots, will never make the grade on
Broadway. The theme is not the unfamiliar one of a smart
woman on a dumb jury, that is where Ladies and Gentlemen
(of the jury) conies in. And this portion of the offering, thanks
to the good old rowdy comedy powers of Messrs. MacArthur
and Ileclit, isn't bad. In fact it is very good, and at times
side-splitting.
Hut there has been superimposed upon this, what impressed
us as one of the most UNCONVINCING love interests of the
triangle type we have ever seen. So unconvincing that but for
the genuine affection and respect they hold for the gifted and
admirable Helen Hayes, we are quite sure. particularly in the
balcony fire escape scene, a large share of the audience last
night would have burst out laughing.
.....
Here was that dear little old woman "Queen Victoria" in
a becoming negligee on one fire escape; ami the middle-aged
and decidedly cadaverous-looking Merivale. in his shirt sleeves,
on another similarly iinroniaiitie and uncomfortable contrivance
a few yards away, supposedly falling in love with each
other, because they both like Conrad, Puccini and minute
steaks! For unconscious humor it was a ten-strike, but unfor
tunately for the success of the play, if this scene is taken as
a joke, the last, scene becomes completely ridiculous, which,
for that matter, it is anyway.
Oh well! the Washington dramatic critics all praise Miss
Haves and the play highly, so probably it will make a record
in New York only surpassed by Abie's Irish Rose!
But if "Ladies and Gentlemen" is a good play, or for
Miss Hayes at least, even a FAIR one, then Cincinnati had
the grcalest ball club this year since the days of l.ajoie and
Christy Mathewson and Justice Black of Alabam is the greatest
American jurist since the late John Marshall! R. Y. K.

ENLARGED TONSILS AND ADENOIDS
Masses of lymphoid,' round
cell, adenoid tissue situated on
either side of the soft palate
near the base
of the tongue
are called the
I a u c i a 1 or
throat tonsils.
A third mass
of the same
tissue in the
roof of the
pharynx u p
out of sight
behind the soft
palate is called
the pharyngeal
tonsil or ade
noid body.
Nearly always when the visi
ble faucial tonsils are enlarged
(hypertrophied, as doctors say)
the pharyngeal tonsil is likewise
enlarged or hyperthrophic.
Considerable hypertrophy of
faucial and pharyngeal tonsil
tissue, and of the same type of
tissue elsewhere in the body
(as, for example, around the
opening from the cecum or large
bowel into the appendix) is a
normal, beneficient condition in
childhood and early youth. The
lymphoid tissue plays a role in
the natural defense of the body
against bacterial invaders and
probably in the development of
natural immunity.
Mere enlargement, thickening
or hypertrophy of lymphoid tis
sue in the tonsils or adenoid
body in childhood need occasion
no anxiety nor call for any treat
ment as long as the child suffers
no injury, harm or handicap
from purely mechanical obstruc
tion to breathing; or no impair
ment of hearing from mechan
ical obstruction or occlusion of
the orifices of the Eustachian
tubes in the throat; or no evi
dent retardation or interference
with normal growth and devel
opment (from anoxia or defi
cient oxygenation incident to
difficult breathing).
As I have said many times,
it is in every instance a matter
of your doctor's opinion whether
your complaint is likely to be
duo to focal infection, and
whether the septic focus re
sponsible for the trouble Is situ
ated in a tonsil. There Is no
positive way to determine this.
It is wholly a question of your
doctor's best judgment.
Some pathologists who have
studied the tonsils thoroughly
conclude it is difficult to draw
the line between normal and
infected tonsils. For instance.
Dr. H. F. Wilkinson reported in
Archives of Otolaryngology all
of ten thousand pairs of tonsils
showed evidence of infection, if
the presence of leukocytes in
the crypts and ulceration of the

Washington, Oct. 17. The
new code of the Nationnl Asso
ciation of Broadcasters was a
really big domestic event. It will
ultimately bar Father Charles
E. Coughlin from the air. It has
already prevented the Town
sendites from putting on a tre
mendous, long - planned radio
program for their pension plan.
U forecloses the possibility of
other types of radio dema
goguery. Yet it has received al
most no attention.
In essence, the radio business
has remembered that its wave
lengths, like the franchises of
the power business, are public
utilities. Knowing that public
utilities and private propaganda
should not be mixed, the radio
men have agreed among them
selves to sell no more time for
propaganda purposes. Thinking
people have long been deeply
disturbed by the easy access to
the intellectually submerged
j tenth which the radio Rave to
men with smooth tongues and
small consciences. By the sim
plest gesture of self-regulation,
the radio business has met the
situation and solved it.
Undoubtedly the National Associa

voked to action by the problem of

Unfortunately no one knows
precisely what function or what
purpose the tonsils serve. Of
course the near-doctors and the
queer-doctors will speak quite
positively about it, but I repeat
no one knows whether lym
phoid, adenoid or round-cell tis
sue in the tonsils and elsewhere
in the body merely functions In
the defense against invading
germs and in maintaining im
munity, or whether it may also
have some influence on growth
and development.
Lymphoid hypertrophy (thick
ening or enlargment of tonsils
and adenoids) is one of the dis
tinctive features of allergy. The
very largest of chronically en
larged tonsils are often seen in
children who suffer from al
lergy hypersensitivity to this
or that foreign protein (nitro
genous substance entering the
system through some route
other than normal digestion),
most commonly one or more
food proteins.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Sodium 1'erhorute Not So (iood
In my 16 years of practice sodium
perborate has seemed to trusc a good
deal of mouth Inflammation when
used as mouthwash, irritation that
tends to make "trench mouth" worse.
( , D.D.S.)
Answer Thank you, Doctor. Per
haps the layman uses too strong a
solution, or applies It too frequent
ly. For regular prophylactic use as
mouthwash, dentifrice or gargle,
against trench mouth or other In
fections, only a good pinch of sodium
perborate In two ounces of water
(one-fourth glassful) should be used.
In cases where sodium perborate
seems to Irritate or falls to bring
relief, or for routine use as a cleans
ing antiseptic mouthwash, plain soap
solution is excellent. While ordinary
toltet soap mn.y be used, the most
satisfactory and efficient Is official
soft soap, commonly called "tincture
of green soap" a teaspoonful of this

Coughlinlt groups, the radio busl-iip-m
hnd to present a united front
In the matter.
The NAB was a convenient instru
ment of the united front. It la an
organization Including all Important
radio stations, patterned after the
baseball clubs' and the movies' self
regulatory bodies. (It has, however,
no Jnd Landls and Is beautified
by the presence of no Will Hnys).
A few days aeo, the NAB met In
full session In Washington and pro
mulgated the new code, which had
previously been considered with the
utmost care by sll the best minds
In the business.
The code's pertinent section Is one
making It an offense for any station
to sell time on the air "for the pre
sentation of controversial issues."
This, of course, in no way Inter
feres with the stations' and broad
casting companies' healthy practice
of giving free time. In fairly equal
amounts, to speakers on both sides
of every great public argument. In
fact, the NAB code specifically
pledges the continuation of this prac
tice. Nor does it Interfere with the
selling of time to the regular politi
cal part lea during campaigns. All
that is outlawed In the buying of
hook-up by private perrons with
some theory, brand of economic
snake-oil, private grudge or home
brewed salvatlonlsni which they wish
to vent on the innocent public.
The Amerlear Civil Liberties Un
ion, a vigilant guardian of free
speech, haa already warmly Indorsed
the new code. So have the federal
council of Church of Christ in Amer
ica and many similar organizations

NOTWITHSTANDING the fstlure to
sell power generated by the pre

recommend that the 10-unlt project
he completed and ask for 20.000.000.
President Roosevelt Is expected to
give the nod to the director of

One argument to Justify such a
large appropriation (it would more
than build Umatilla dam and go
far toward advancing the Willam
ette valley project), Is that in war
Bonneville power would be needed
In the manufacture of chemicals and
other war supplies. It so happens,
however, that the persons preparing
this argument for Administrator

to establishment of a chemical plant
on the Columbia or the use of the
power by industries desiring to pro

as manufacture of aluminum.
JURISDICTIONAL strikes, such aa
paralyzed the Pacific Northwest,
will not be tolerated In the national
capital hereafter, for Uncle Sam Is
tired of seeing construction work
held up because of Jealous labor
leaders. The department of Justice
Is prosecuting union officers under
the anti-trust law.
When tall, severe-looking Frank
Murphy was governor of Michigan
he tolerated the sit-down strikes
whtch resulted In seizure of private
property. Interruption of U. 8. mails,
and loss of millions of dollara In
wages. Aa attorney general. Murphy
has indicted officers of a union
charged with using strikes and other
methods to force an employer to
break a contract with a rival union.
Similar situations and tactics have
been common throughout the coun
try in the past six years and have
occurred riere aeveral times a year,
but now the administration is de
termined to put an end to It.
There Is a possibility that the
prosecutions In Washington are a
warning of what Is to come; an open
ing gun. It la known that the de
partment has been considering mov
ing in on a number of strike scenes.
This Is only a phase of a genera
attack on Individuals, corporations,
unions and contractors who are sus
pected of retarding construction.
They are to be charged v:th violat
ing the anti-trust laws. Several Pa
cific coast cities, notably Seattle, will
be In the headlines when the de
partment of Justice goes into action.

How To End War
To the editor:
I have been following your
editorials for several years, and
I greatly admire them, espec
ially on the present war situa
tion; but yours, like all others,
fall short of the most desired
mark; that is to point the way
out.
All lament the terrible di
lemma, but offer no solution,
Do you mean to infer there is
none?
Would not the same policy
employed by the United Status
for 150 years, if applied to the
whole world, be equally success
ful? Would it be a hardship to any
nation or stale, to oblige them
to Join the federation and be
subject to a majority rule?
Is there not fair-minded in
telligence enough available to
insure equal justice, what more
should anyone want?
With the federal government
in control of all war material
and factories for the same, how
could the states go to war?
You know, as well as I, that
war will never cease, so long
as any state or nation, is allowed
to prepare for war.
Can you not indorse this idea
and pass it along?
Yours very truly,
Ira C. Jones.
