To save time- and space the gentle reader shall gently place at the atart of each epistle the salu tation Dere Santy.) We did not have enough rain this year.

AN OBSERVING reader hastens to correct our as sumption of yesterday that "Donald Duck" Ickes was original with Franklin Waltman, publicity di rector for the Republican National Committee. The title, it seems, was coined by the authors of this years skit at the Gridiron dinner. The following extract from the Washington "Merry-Go-Round" of the 19th inst., explains the matter : Harold !cki not only can dish It out. but ha can take It. Toughest aklt at the Gridiron dinner waa on aimed at him. Ickea waa represented In the figure of Donald Duck, who anawered all questlona In a hllarloua tn-mlnut Interview with A notay "quack, quack, quack." It waa a murderoua take-oft. Mlnneaota'a young Oovernor Harold Btasaen, who aat next to Ickea and waa experiencing hi first Gridiron show, waa qulta embarrassed. Finally, In an effort to ease the strain, Stassen remarked, "The boya get kind of rough at times, don't they, Mr. Secretary?" "Quack, quack," shot back Ickea with a grin. McNary Versus Hull ACCORDING to Johnny Kelly our own Senator Mc Ma id rrninor tn lonrl tha RpnnhliVnn nffpnsivfl against Secretary of State Hull and his trade treaties. (Secretary Hull, who as Johnny states, is at heart a "free trader.") Well, in such event, we would predict an easy victory for our senior Senator in the realm of partisan politics. For no one questions the general unpopular ity of the Hull trade treaties, particularly in the rural sections of the Middle and Far, West, so it presents a sure-fire vote-getting issue to the G.O.P. . . DUT a victory in the realm of partisan politics is ONE thing; a victory in the realm of reality and economics is quite another. And in the long view it is this column's conviction, that Secretary Hull will have not only theoretically but factually, all the bet ter of it. IT MAY be entirely correct to call Secretary Hull, "a free trader" at heart. If so it is equally correct to call the Republican leadership "high tariff at HEART. Now between the two extremes, neither of which is desireable, the present Secretary of State, we believe, more nearly conforms to the realities and necessities of the present world situation, than his Republican opponents. FOR as often stated in this department, this country is not, as it was in the days of William McKinley, a debtor nation. It is a creditor nation, and as it can't be' paid in gold, it must be paid, if it IS paid, in services and goods. Moreover, while international trade represents only a small percentage of total trade, international trade, as the world is economically constituted, is es sential to the maintenance of any permanent or satis factory prosperity, in the United States. BUT, there can be no such trade, unless we buy from other countries as well as sell to them. And we can not confine our purchases. our imports. to rro- ducts not produced in this ber, tin, and certain rare minerals and chemicals. In other words, if any satisfactory foreign trade is to be maintained, we must not only BUY from abroad, as well as SELL, we must buy some products which are produced in this country, in short, which compete with products of the United States. THE problem, therefore, "iirii tjp miu n-fii vuiume oi lureign pro ducts can be purchased, which will be of the MAXI MUM benefit to our exnort trade, and render the minimum injury to our domestic producers. This is where the principle of an impartial, scien tific and permanent tariff commission with power to act, comes in. For it is entirely obvious that no Ameri can producer, manufacturer, farmer or what have you, will meekly accept foreign competition in any neici, ne win stand with keep all such competition terests are concerned. Yet as above stated, if a high tariff wall against all foreign imports, IS again erected, not only will this reduce what this country can sell, it will lead to retaliation by foreign customers, another tariff war, and probably an eco nomic collapse such as followed the Smoot-IIawley bill. So-o-o- While, we have no doubt of a McNarv victory over Hull, in the political j doubt of Hulls triumph in realities, ana iacts, fcVUIN 1 UALLY.

TO FRIGHTEN OR Years ago OP Bull-in-the-china-shop Doc Brady hauled off and printed some plain talk about the wisdom of taking care of constant or recurring condi tion which the subject readily assumes to be 'piles.' By tak ing care of it, I explained in words of as many syllables as possible, I meant consult ing a physician who examines patients before he accepts the remedy - made diagnosis the patient offers. One customer read that item over a few times, became alarm ed, hurried to a specialist in rectal diseases (proctologist), had an examination, learned that his trouble was quite sim ple, not cancer at all. The cus tomer was so mad about it that he threw me out on my car. Oh, well, what's a customer more or less between friends? Here is a personal communi cation from a distinguished proc tologist. I quote it almost ver batim: As you and I well know three out of five adults have well advanced internal piles. . . Actually that assertion rather astonished me, but coming from a specialist of wide experience it probably is a fact. . . . internal piles, some as sociated with other lesions, such as fissures, infected crypts, fis tulae, all potential trouble mak ers. People consult doctors for thorough physical examinations which the average doctor is ca pable of doing very well but rarely does he look inside the rectum with a proctoscope. The gynecologists (specialists in di seases of women) have been stressing cervical erosions. . . . (a noted gynecologist) of (a fam ous hospital) states that "Every cervical erosion is a potential cancer." I believe that every chronic, eroded, bleeding lesion involving the rectal ampulla (widened space at terminal end of rectal canal) is also a poten tial cancer. It is true that most of these lesions never develop malignancy (cancerous change) but when they do we generally get a history of previous irri tation often preceded by poly poid degeneration. Rhinologists( nose specialists) will attest that chronic irritation of the nasal mucosa is the cause j of nasal polyps. Therefore it is not unreasonable to assume that polyps of the rectum or cervix are also the result of chronic ' irritation. j The difference is that in rec tum or cervix these polyps often terminate in malignancy (can cerous change) while in the nas- al cavity that is rarely so. Patients with nasal polyps ; seek help earlier because of the early discomfort and more pro found symptoms, and hence an earlier disgnosis and correction. I think we should use every means to educate the public. even to the point of frightening some people, so that these ser ious conditions may be detected early enough to enable us to do something while there still is some hope. The proctologist's letter was inspired by the sad experience of a patient who had come for treatment of what purported to be piles, but on examination proved to be cancer. In the old days when surgery was the likely verdict the pa tient with piles received if he consulted a real doctor (one who makes his own diagnosis by his erve Twin time you have a party. A thrifty it's rich x. i Jl $1.70 QUART 90c PINT Brady, M.D. NOT TO FRIGHTEN own examination) perhaps there was some excuse for hesitating. Today, when most rectal troubles are amenable to am bulant treatment, comparatively! painless office treatments which do not require any interruption of the patient's usual activities, it seems more foolish than ever before for any one with any kind of rectal trouble to put offj a proper medical examination and intelligent treatment. Now if any one chooses to resent this less, well after all it takes all kinds of people to make a world. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Hives. I had had hives over a period of three months.

The Capital Parade By Joseph Alsop and Robert Kintner Released by The North American Newspaper Alliance, Inc. Washington, Dec. 21. The little disagreement between the Hatfields and McCoys was no more bitter or long-lasting than the New Deal's feud with J. P. Morgan and company. In the early years, Morgan's took a part in the business opposition to such New )cal reforms as the Securities and Exchange acts and the Public Utilities Holding Company act. Ever since, ths New Deal has done everything in its power to destroy the great banking house's position of pre eminence in the financial com munity. There is something curiously per sonal In this smoldering conflict between the government of the Seal next "buy"- and hearty! It's a smart buy this rich-tasting Twin Seal Rye.

Canada, United BtaUs and the country's most celebrated financial Institu tion. The feud Is not earned on by the more conservative agencies of the administration, such aa the treas ury, whose monetary policy Morgan's defended, alone In Wall atreet. The President himself Is the chief feud ist, and the real fighting is done by the new deal group, who tend to see Morgsn's at work In every attack on their policies. The current TNEC hearings must be regarded, therefore, aa only one engagement In a continuing war. But, aa the TNEC, or monopoly committee, U now going after Mor gan. Stanley and Company, the en gagement may prove extremely Im portant. Morgan, Stanley is the underwrit ing on shoot which the parent house of Morgan waa forced to put out when the banking act of 1933 di vorced commercial banking and se curities selling. It Is far more ac tive, and, presumably, relatively far more profitable than the parent house. The majority of really gilt edged securities Issues have been Morgan, Stanley Issues from the day Morgan. Stanley was founded. H. S. Morgan, the most enterprising of the third Morgan generation, and Harold Stanley, formerly one of Mor gan's most brilliant partners, are In charge. Because of Morgan, Stanley, the banking act has failed to achieve what the new dealers ardently want, to confine the Morgan Influence either to banking or to underwrit ing. The Influence strongly persists In both fields. One real object of the TNEC hearings la to show that the spirit of the banking act has been flouted. SEC Chairman Jerome Prank, Commissioner Leon Hender son, Investor Peter Nehemkls and the other- SEC officials who have prepared the TNEO case argue grim ly that, although the machinery has changed, the same old system continues to operate. The TNEC hearings are not ex actly stirring. The senators, sitting round their table, look a little sleepy. The Investigators ask their questions In an anxious voice. George Whit ney, Harold Stanley and the other Morgan and Morgan, Stanley men present are still a protective bat talion of experts, but seem less tense than they did In the days of the first great Investigations. The testimony Itself, concerning the method by which various under writing firms divide the total busi ness, is technical. But behind this unimpressive scene, which Is being so briefly reported to the public, there is the significant reality of the old feud. The precise relationship between Morgan's and Morgan, Stanley la mysterious, although certain Morgan partners are known to own a minor ity Interest In the non-voting pre ferred stock in Morgan, Stanley. Both Morgan's and Morgan, Stanley firmly assert that this connection is all there is. The new dealers are con vinced that, practically speaking, Morgan, Stanley acts In concert with the parent house. In any case, the new dealers have little recourse, since this relationship, if It does exist. Is a purely personal one. That Is why the main fire Is being concentrated on the division among underwriting firms. Excepting such maverick firms as Dillon. Reed and company, which has challenged Mor gan, Stanley, boasting influence with the administration, the new dealers think that all the main underwriters are a closed corporation. The bulk of the business goes to Morgan. Stan ley, which in turn parcels It out among Its friends. Certain types of business are reserved for Kuhn, Loeb. and so on. This, the new dealers charge, is monopoly. They have two kinds of substitute in mind. One Is competitive bidding for Issues, which Is so bitterly op posed by the Morgan, Stanley part ners that they will shut up shop rather than submit. The other Is government - financed underwriting, the scheme of Justice William O. Douglas. Considering the political situation, however. It seems likely that the new dealers labors for these two schemes are in the nature of automatic reflexes.
