The cowardly and hellish in vasion of tiny Finland by swag gering, bullying Russia has caused the world to snrinK in resentment and revulsion, and should end with swift sudden ness, any and all coddling in America, in low places or high places, of Communists and Com munism. It should also termin ate the too frequently expressed squeamishness a "red hunt" de velops in the land, to hound agitators, and, in so doing "strangle free speech." The vipers and hyenas, seeking the overthrow of the American form of government, have long used "free speech" as a cloak for or ganized devilment, and grown brazenly bold with their sneers and hisses and sly sabotage. The pending fate of Finland should be warning enough to start spraying the tcrmines of un Americanism, so long busy gnawing, practically unmolested at the foundation sills of this democracy.

For we HAVE wondered in as to why the world has gone war WHY, when wars are, in this evil, but so plainly utile, do we the peoples of the world, persist in them? It has all come under the general heading of a "deep mystery of life" a strange, perverse psychosis, that no one seems able to explain. Something akin to the blind instinct that persuades a fool moth to fly head flame. AND for that matter, that mystery still exists, when the world is viewed from any rational or logical standpoint. But, as we were again reminded last night, when we listened to "Town Meeting" over the air, war does not live in the realm of rational or logical processes. I It is exclusively and entirely a matter of emotions and passions. And as the human animal was for many centuries a creature of passions before he also became a creature of thought, whatever keenly arouses the former, invariably, or almost invariably control, if they don't entirely overcome, the latter. So we have warsl And we have about decided that until there Is some method devised, and supported, by FORCE through international action, to control those passions, or by evolution we become sufficiently civilized to sublimate them into constructive rather than destruc tive channels wars from time to time, are going to continue. WE were particularly struck by this fact, as stated above, when listening to Town Meeting last night, during which a Slav, a German and an English (Australian) woman, gave their views of what sort of a peace should come out of the present war. Now they were all educated and enlightened individuals, far above the average in both directions, and yet as the symposium went on it was quite obvious, that if these three representatives of three large and powerful national divisions in the world, had been allowed to continue the discussion a few hours longer, it would have resolved itself into a free-for-all fight, in which the German would have been torn to bits, by the combined efforts of the Slav British couple; and the conflict would have been continued by the couple, only terminated when the lady from Australia emerged with Mr. Hindus' bloody scalp hanging from her beltl And yet, as before stated, we wonder why we have wars! Great Peter and General Jackson! If three cultured and highly intellectual representatives of Russia, Germany and the British Empire can't talk over the problem of peace, without coming to the point of blows, what can be divisions in the MASS! The wonder Is, as far as Europe is concerned, NOT that they have wars over there from time to time, but that they don't have more of them. Town Meeting! YES it seemed to us, this peace symposium, In New York last night was extremely interesting and revealing. The more so, because the three repercsentatives, agreed in theory, as to what should be done, when the war ends. There should be a United-States-of-Europe. Which, as John Gunther, official interrogator on the program, pointed out, is easy to say, but extremely difficult to do. And when any attempt was made to exactly define the term, then the trouble started! ES the German representative, a Ph.D. and a veteran of the 1 World War, wanted a United-States-of-Europe, but he didn't want France or England In it. He wanted it to extend from the Baltic to the Black Sea which with compact, well organized and militant Germany included would (as the Australian lady bit terly pointed out) mean the dominance of Germany in Central Europe, which is precisely what England is fighting to prevent. THE lady from Australia also wanted a United-States-of-Europe. But she didn't want Germany to dominate it, or anything else. In fact she wanted all national boundaries in her European United States obliterated, and all colonies, including England's, pooled under some sort of international mandate, which struck this de partment, as something also easy to say, but tcrrificly hard to carry out. AS to Maurice Gerschon Hindus, the Slav representative, he envisioned a United States of Europe in which no small nation could be ruled by a larger one, and all racial groups would be allowed to live in self-governed, independent units. ANOTHER beautiful idea, but as the Slavs are a "tough race," and in such a European United States, would outnumber all other races materially, what would be the practical result? (This is particularly pertinent at the present moment when we have the supreme Slav power, Soviet Russia, on the boundaries of what would be a United-States-of-Europe, engaged in an imperialistic march of might to the WEST!) A LL of which when reduced to simple terms added up to this: The German wanted peace, with Germany in control from the Baltic to the Black sea. The British woman wanted peace, with Germany crushed so the Teuton can never threaten the peace of Europe again, and a federation of states in Central Europe, patterned after the British commonwealth. The Slav wanted peace, also with Germany beaten to her knees, but with Slav independence, unity guaranteed, and there fore what would appear inevitable, Slav hegemony from the Baltic to the Pacific! 4 ND this complete impasse was reached, not through the clash of three antagonistic racial masses, worked up to a fighting pitch through propaganda, manipulation, and impregnation of the war psychosis, but by three educated and peace-loving intellectu als, meeting on neutral ground, and engaged in what was designed ! as an impersonal and restrained and entirely objective debate. !

Address Dr. Wllllsm Brady, 265 El Cain In o. Beverly Hills, Calif. SEPTIC FLOODS Gingivitis is inflammation of the gums. Sometimes chronic gingivitis is known as Rigg's di sease. Persons subject to chron ic inflammation of the gum and lining of the tooth sockets gen erally have poor health. Is the Riggs s di sease respons ible for the im paired health? Or Is the con dition of the gums, tooth sockets and other tissues of the mouth one of the m anifestations of an under lying constitutional condition which accounts also for the poor health?' The answer to these questions is a matter of opinion. It seems to me that the trend of profes sional opinion today is toward the belief that Riggs's disease is rather one manifestation of nutritional deficiency. The de ficiency is probably a multiple deficiency in the intake, assimil ation, utilization and retention of vitamins D, A, B-complex and in some instances vitamin C; together with a deficiency in intake, assimilation, utilization and retention of calcium and Dhosnhorus. I repeat I am mere ly trying to give what I think is the prevailing view of author ities today. Every medical practitioner and probably most dental prac titioners see this incident in the course of chronic gingivitis: The natient suffers a sudden chill or chilly sensation and immedi ately assumes he or she is "tak ing cold. That interpretation is as wrong as it is to ascribe the chill of septicemia (acute blood poisoning) from an in fected wound to "taking cold." Accompanying the chilliness there may be nausea or vomit ing, and perhaps a severe head ache or general aches or pains resembling an attack of "grip", and shortly after the chill there is high fever and considerable prostration. All of this illness is due to accumulation of pus in a pocket somewhere in the inflamed gums or in a tooth socket. If the pus drains from the pocket, perhaps alongside the affected tooth, the patient makes a prompt and otherwise inexplic able recovery.

Claim ing what you haven't got is a familiar political technique, but it has rarely been so crassly ex ploited as in Paul Vories Mc iSutt's campaign for the Demo cratic presidential nomination. The McNutt forces are claiming everyone from the strictest new dealers to Wendell L. Willkie. and both without a shadow of excuse. The chief McNutt claim, however, is the support of the president. While McNutt plays the statesman in Washington. Frank McHale. his manager, combs the country for dele gates. McHale Is a rotund political drummer with pretty smart sales talk. He generally climaxes, his spiel, according to authentic report, with the assertion that "the president has given Paul the green light." and promised to "tap him on the shoulder when the time comes. This Is Inter esting. If true, for the president, should he so desire, might conceiv ably be able to stulf McNutt down the unwllltng throats of James A. rarley and John N. Oarner. But It Is not true. The president himself has said as much on mere thsn one occasion. Probably the most recent was a discussion of the McNutt candidacy between the president and a shrewdly knowledgeable political Intimate Mc llale's sales talk was mentioned, and the president asked his friend point blank whether the green llsht-'ap on the shoulder stuff ws rrnlly being handed out as reported The friend replied that It was.

IN GINGIVITIS regular practice of inspecting gums and teeth as part of his examination of the patient, the nature of the attack may go unrecognized. A patient who suffers such attacks at intervals Is prone to scout the suggestion that such severe illness can be due to a trifling accumulation of pent up pus in gum or tooth socket, for hasn't he had Riggs's disease and poor teeth for years and years. Some of the wrong diagnoses made in such septic floods are "heavy cold," "grip," "gastric fever," "bilious attack" and "fever and ague" (malaria). Unfortunately in most in stances there is no special pain in a pus-pocket in the soft tis sues of the gum, and that fact misleads the careless diagnos tician. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS . Hernia Cured I am another reader who took your advice . . . had a hard time finding a reliable doctor who gives the am bulant treatment, but finally my dentist told me that Dr does fine work, and now I can testify that he does. I had can-led my hernia for eight years . . . nothing but praise for the practical value of your articles. (P. B.) Answer After all, dentors are near doctors, aren't they? I have a mono graph on Hernia for copy send a 1 -cent-stamped envelope bearing your address. If you aek a question requiring Individual answer, put 3-cent-stamp on return envelope. Bunion Is bunion a growth, sort of an aggravated corn? (Mrs. P. G. T.) Answer No, it Is a deformity. Correction Is given in booklet "Care of the Feet" for copy send 10 cents coin and stamped envelope bearing your address. Tularemia. Can a person get rabbit fever from drinking raw milk or eating raw vegetables in salads etc.? (Mrs. B. H.) Answer No. Tularemia Is usually contracted by handling, skinning, dressing rabbits, sometimes other wild game, that have the disease evidenced chiefly by little white spot scattered through the liver. Tula remia is sometimes conveyed from rabbit or other wild animal to man In the bite of the wood tick or other parasite. Tame rabbits are not sus ceptible to tularemia. Beware of the wild rabbit or other game that falls to run from danger as a norma animal does. (Protected by John P. Dille Co.) Ed. Note: rersons wtshlnc to communicate with Dr. Brady should send letter direct to Dr. William Brady, M. D., 265 E) Camlno. Beverly Hills. Calif. the numerous cases of other ground less claims knowingly made all point the opposite way. The case of Wen dell Winkle la distinctly in point. Recently, a no-doubt Inspired newspaper story described Winkle as an old college friend who was ardently backing the McNutt candi dacy. Other stories to this effect have appeared before, and wlseacre6 have even been busy tipping the wink that Willkie Is the real source of the funds to finance McNutt's lavishly expensive self-promotion. This kind of thing has been busily circulated despite the now-disclosed fact thnt Willkie went to McNutt some time ago, and told him for the record that he would not think of supporting him. Actually and this has not been printed Willkie pri vately regards McNutt as a man dangerously ambitious, politically ruthless and careless of any con sideration but his own advancement. McNutt is a man to be reckoned with a remarkably able and force ful, if not exactly an Idealistic political leader, surrounded by a set of hard-boiled, primeval henchmen, survivors of the old Vare-Penrose-Ohlo school, who know how to grab what they . want In politics. The trouble with McNutt is that he Is too glib to be credtble. There was, for example, the matter of the Terre Haute strike, when McNutt sent in the troops to keep the plants open and left them In Terre Haute for a whole year. He explained this to the president on the ground that he was a "very young. Inexperienced governor." and did not know any better. This kind of gllbness Just doesn't work, but McNutt and his people are always ready to try It on. They have even had a allot at soft-soaping McNutt's most deadly and most dan gerous enemy. Jim Farley. Farley's animosity toward the India nan dates from the day when, thinking he had lined up the Indiana delegation for Roosevelt, he found that "someone was slvlr.g him the foot." In the old phrase. As he has written In his admirable memotrn, he suspected at the time that McNutt had made a deal hy which he was to receive newspaper support for the governor ship in return for Joining the stop Roosovrlt movement. At any rate, he tried to get the Indiana delegates despite McNutt. and McNutt. by the I toughest tactics, prevented him. I Farley has one of the best memo ries in the Tnited states, yet McHa I went to F.ir'.ey some time axo and ; atlemp'd to convince him he had I :hhw all wrong.

In The 's By Frank Jenkins nrODAY'S big news Is that Russia is taking Finland be cause Russia Is big and Finland is small and Russia's boss wants what the Finns have. That is the whole story, brief ly told. IT ISN'T a new story, because such things have been hap pening almost since the world began, but it is sad and dis illusioning because many peo ple had hoped that the world might be getting better that JUSTICE might be supplanting BRUTE FORCE in international affairs. Finland's fate, added to Po land's, dims that hope. (If you are among those who have been insisting that this is a play war, you'd better read just your sights. It is EXCEED INGLY REAL, and those who are making it know exactly what they want. Make no mis take as to that). AND hereafter, if someone' tries to tell you that com munist Russia is something new and BETTER in the world, laugh in his face. pRITZ KuhnThead of the Ger- man-American Bund, found guilty of stealing $1217 of the organization's funds and con verting them to his own use, based his defense on the "lead ership (dictator) principle," as serting that he had the right to spend the Bund's money as he saw fit. "To the king belongs all" is an ancient idea, but it doesn't go in this country. rvON'T lose sight of this im portant fact: Kuhn is just another guy with a racket. If a lot of other rack eteers of his type could be put where he will be for the next few years, it would be a fine thing for the country. TPHE National Safety Council, meeting in Chicago, says that only prompt improvement in walking and driving habits can head off a national death toll for 1939 that will be greater than last year's. We get all stirred up over war casualties, but are indiffer ent to our own auto death toll, which takas 35,000 to 40,000 lives yearly. We have work to do in OUR OWN YARD. Communications "Depends on Where You Are" To the editor: Referring to your November 26th editorial, "Where The Money Goes," in which we are supposedly told how Americans spend their private incomes, it should be interesting to every body to learn that twice as much is spent for tobacco as for education. But there seems to be one notable omission. Was it the national resources board, or was it the Mail-Tribune that so carefully omitted all refer ence to the billions spent for booze? Censored, deleted or garbled reports, like half-truths, are misleading. We are confi dent that your readers would like to know just how much went for booze during that same period. And a-nuther thing: As to your disagreement with Durant. Far be it from me to tarnish the diadem which you so grac iously place on the head of the American housewife, but it is just possible that in the homes best known to Durant, the housewife may hire a cook, a housekeeper, a governess, and a nurse, reserving to herself only the place of "official hos tess for the family," and if so, this may not have impressed Durant as being "a useful part ner in an ECONOMIC sense." You see, in studying home life. much depends on where you are at. Edwin Deacon, Talent, Ore. Produce For II Duce Rome (IP) Births are keep ing far ahead of deaths in Italy.

DaV . . . . .. i Hi - I: T Washington, D. C (SpD Saarlouis, whose streets have frequently echoed the boom of belligerent guns in the Saar district, is one of Europe's bor der towns which has been pass ed back a'nd forth through the centuries between warring pow ers, according to a bulletin from the National Geographic society. "Since the 1935 plebicite which returned the Saar to Germany, Saarlouis has been known also by the German name of Saarlautern," says the bulletin. "In the present war, French forces for a time occu pied portions of the Saar. close to Saarlouis. Later they vol untarily abandoned most of their gains, except for certain strategic forests and hills which guard the approaches to the French city of Forbach, about 12 miles southeast of Saarlouis. It is around this area that re cent engagements have been reported. "Soon after the French King Louis XIV founded the city in 1680, Saarlouis became an Im portant fortress town through the works there of the French military engineers. "Because of its French or igin and connections, it remain ed in the possession of France when the rest of the Saar re gion was turned over to the Germans in 1695. It was not until after the defeat of Na poleon that this whole district, including Saarlouis, was taken over by the Allies, to be trans ferred in 1815 to the German states of Prussia and Bavaria. "During the World war, Ger man infantry, artillery and cav alry stationed there made the city an important military post. On December 1, 1919, when Allied troops entered Germany, Saarlouis was occupied briefly by French forces. "Subsequently, under the terms of the Versailles treaty, Saarlouis, along with the rest of the Saar, was for 15 years governed by a League of Na tions commission. The plebi cite of 1935, offering a choice of continuance of the league status, joining France or re union with Germany, resulted in an overwhelming majority in favor of incorporation within the Reich. "Today, this :lty, with a pop ulation of 32,000, is an active industrial center. With con venient coal mines for fuel, its factories turn out such varied products as machinery, arms, wire, leather, cigarettes and beer." Lo, the Poor Indian Phoenix, Ariz.
