He Can Takt it!
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.
For the RECIPROCAL tariff principle is in har
mony with the times, the realities and with progress
toward world peace.
The high tariff principle, is NOT!

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

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.

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

Hiram Watts t Sent Inc., "Verts,
Walkirvillt. 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.
