The cowardly and hellish in

gering, bullying Russia has
caused the world to snrinK in
resentment and revulsion, and
should end with swift sudden

America, in low places or high

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

Why We Have Wars
AND yet we wonder why we have war!
And the "we" In this case is the editorial "we."
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. !
Finally even more important, than the irreconcilable and con-j
flictlng character of their solutions, was the restrained but un-1

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.
Unless the physician makes a

and both without a shadow of

however, is the support of the
president.
While McNutt plays the statesman
in Washington. Frank McHale. his
manager, combs the country for dele

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

should he so desire, might conceiv
ably be able to stulf McNutt down
the unwllltng throats of James A.

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

the president asked his friend point

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

evidenced chiefly by little white spot
scattered through the liver. Tula
remia is sometimes conveyed from

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. McHale said that,

I line. Farley all but laushed In Mc

That is the whole story, brief

IT ISN'T a new story, because
such things have been hap

"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."

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."
