popped on the cob. This is noth

The Last Is Not Least
DLACK, Reed, Frankfurter, Douglas and Murphy,
u and the best of these is Murphy.
At least that is our judgment. Murphy un
doubtedly has made his
qualifies as a big man ,
said of the other Roosevelt appointees to the Su
preme Court, with the possible exception of Douglas.
Justice Frankfurter,
a trifle too brilliant, and too well aware of his bril
liancy. The man lacks humility and the spiritual
depth that almost always accompanies it.
e e e
MOT so the new Justice. In fact, we have a- pious
' idea he is the first
bunal, who on receiving' word of his appointment,
stated he highly appreciated the honor, but felt he
didn't deserve it, and others more competent than
he could have been selected.
There was no cheap, false modesty about this.
Those who know the former Governor of Michigan,
know he sincerely believed it.
But only a big man, under such circumstances,
would have made such
guage the man the more carefully he would have
avoided arousing any such suspicion.
.
IMAGINE President Roosevelt's first appointee,
Hugo Black, for example, ever hinting any doubt
of his high qualifications for the exalted position!
Yet undoubtedly, his is the one appointment that
never should have been made the former Alabama
Senator not being fitted by training, temperament Or
character for such a place. In fact his appointment is
an example of the Roosevelt impulsiveness at its
worst, and we have no doubt at all that the Presi
dent has since then, frequently regretted it.
But one judge in nine has little power, and there
is no doubt that while Justice Black will contribute
little of value to the Supreme Court, the Supreme
Court will contribute considerable of value to Justice
Black, for the Court is not only an excellent health
resort and a tribunal of
Law bchool as well.
IN FACT if we were called upon to predict which
of the five Roosevelt appointees would eventually
be elevated to the post of Chief Justice, our guess
would be today's baby member.
Not on the basis of great legal learning, nor
dialtectic brilliancy, but on the basis of CHARAC
TER, of vision, selflessness and spiritual integrity,
which in our conception of what the Supreme Court
of the future should be, is exactly as it should be.

THE more one analyzes this Russian debacle in
Finland the more cheering it becomes.
For just what is the fundamental cause of this in
credible reenactment of the David and Goliath story?
The answer, as we see it, is BRAINS.
e e e
"F COURSE there is the weather, the terrain, the
superior morale engendered by defense of the
homeland, etc., etc. There is also the advantage of
the defense over the offense in modern warfare.
But above all and before all, comes superior
military direction, superior strategy and tactics, su
perior utilization of the material at hand, and these
all come under the general heading of superior
BRAINS.
TlE HAVE no doubt the average Russian soldier
" is as brave as the average Finn, as fit physically,
as well equipped, and certainly in the matter of
airforce and ground mechanization, the Red forces
have all the better of it.
And yet look at them, beaten at every turn.
And why? Because the Finns have had the
brains and used them and the Russians haven't.
.....
A ND this is no happenstance, no matter of educa
tion. It is a factor inherent in the two opposing
ideologies, the democracy of the Finns on one
hand, the communistic dictatorship of the Russians,
on the other.
The democratic theory is based essentially on
the free play of individually competitive forces, re
sulting in key .positions being occupied by those
best fitted to occupy them.
The communist theory, as it has been worked
out in Russia, is based practically on the exact re
verse; namely the liquidation of' those who by su
perior abilities have advanced or promise to advance
beyond their fellows, and the arbitrary elevation into
positions of power, not of those who have demon
strated their ability, but those who have exhibited
the greatest devotion to the party, in power, which
in 99 cases out of a hundred, has resulted in placing
incompetents in the key positions, and the subordina
tion or absolute liquidation of the more able, the
competents, all down the line.
e .
IN OTHER words, here we have in Finland, a per
fect demonstration of how the democratic and
communistic theories actually work out, when put
to the acid test, the fundamental test in this com
petitive world, of armed conflict.
A nation of five or six million, not only repulsing
but to date beating a nation of close to 200 millions.
As was well stated at the Town Meeting last
night, Stalin has done more to discredit communism
in this country, than all the Dies rornmittrps n-nr
dreamed of. And what goes for this country, goes
even more so, for all the modern world!

DANGEROUS S CURVE ALONG THE ROAD OF LIFE
Every mature adult who now
has or may eventually develop
cancer (in a later article we
shall describe the pre-cancerous
state) has to
travel a road
with a danger
ous S curve in
it dangerous,
that is, for one
who has not
been warned
or enlightened
about the per
ils along the
road of life
Only by stick
ing to the
right road and
avoiding certain detours which
may seem easy and attractive
to the uninitiated, can the actual
or potential cancer victim hope
to win back to health or in any
event gain the advantage of
the best possible treatment.
At the first bend in the road
as you enter the dangerous S a
broad and too well paved detour
appears to be the logical exten
sion of the main road straight
ahead. If it looks like that to
you and you slow up or stop
there to consider whether to fol
low the pleasant detour, doubt
less a number of other tourists
will come along, wonder what
you're waiting for, and unhesi
tatingly bear right and streak it
down the inviting detour the
Road of Silence. People with
potential or actual cancer who
take the Road of Silence choose
to worry or suffer in silence,
to say nothing to relatives or
friends and above all to keep
secret from the doctor their
anxiety or complaint. A few
of them behave that way be
cause, although pitifully ignor
ant or misinformed, still they
sincerely believe that if it is
cancer there's no help for it
anyway, and so one might as
well try to ignore it as long as
possible. The greater number
of them are driven by fear of
the unknown, childish terror of
what a doctor might find if they
were to submit to proper med
ical examination. We need not
follow these unhappy travellers
further along the detour they
take. If their fear or suspicion
of cancer proves unfounded,
perhaps a fair number of them
will come back; if not, well, we
tried to warn them.
At the second turn in the S
you come upon another detour
which is calculated to allure a
great many candidates for can
cer, persons in the precancerous
state as well as those in the
THE
CAPITAL
PARADE
By JOSEPH ALSOP and
ROBERT KINTNER
Released by the North
American Newspaper
Alliance. Inc.
Washington, Jan. 5. The
president's message on the state
of the union is one of the cur
ious and fascinating mosaics to
which he has the trick of giving
impressive pattern. In one par
agraph, the boojum of domestic
reform peeps out between the
sentences, to frighten potential
ly rebellious Democrats. In an
other, congress is put on the
spot, as anticipated, in the mat
ter of new taxes. In still an
other. Secretary of State Cor
dell Hull's argument for re
newal of the trade agreement
law is cogently rephrased.
But th heart of this omnium
gatherum Is the prealdenfi state
ment o( his theory of American
foreign policy, which Is franker and
fuller than any he has ever offered.
Everyone has always known the pres
ident did not share the viewpoint of
the Isolationists. This Is the first
time he has explained his reasons
In detail.
This boldness of expression can
only menn one thing, that the presi
dent believes (quite correctly, so far
as one can Judge) that the electorate
is deserting the Isolationists and
coming round to his view. This has
lately become the opinion of 8k" re
tire Hull, Undersecretary Sumner
Welles and other leading officials
of the state department. There la
every reason for the president to
share It.
As all American foreign policy is
now shaped in accordance with the
president's theory, his statement of
It Is extraordinarily significant. It
may be briefly summarised as fol
lows: 1 Despite the wishful thinking of
the isolationists, this country Is not
an Independent unit. It is a member
of the community of nations of the
world, and despite its vast resource.
Its two protecting oceans and Its
power of self. defence, this country
will suffer whenever the community
of nations sufOrs. Therefore, what
touches the community of nations

country, ., entails responsibilities

early stage of cancer. This is
the way of self-treatment and
blind experimentation with nos
trums. On this detour the vic
tim of cancer loses valuable
time which should be used in
getting proper treatment. If you
take this detour you must close
your eyes at the sign placed at
the second turn of the S for the
protection of bewildered or un
informed wayfarers:
A serum is of value only
against a disease to a germ.
Cancer is not caused by a
germ. Therefore serums are
of no value in its treatment.
No paste, salve or oil
will penetrate the tissues far
enough to destroy deep-seated
cancer cells. No medicine can
destroy cancer cells without
also destroying normal tissue
cells with which it comes In
contact.
Having avoided these detours
the potential or actual cancer
victim has the best possible
chance to remain or regain
health or to be cured if cancer
has actually developed provid
ed he or she seeks advice or
treatment by a reputable, ethi
cal physician and not that of t
quack.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Wheat
A year ago following a major
operation I began eating plain wheat
aa suggested In your monograph. It
helped me to get back my strength
and vitality, and what's more It
seems to keep my waist line slender.
Have told many friends, and they are
now using It the farmers around
here had better grow more wheat I
Some of my friends wonder whether
it has any effect on blood pressure.
(Mrs. M. L. H.)
Answer It has no more effect on
blood pressure than any other food.
I have a monograph which tells how
to use plain wheat aa a staple In
the family dietary for copy "Wheat
to Eat" send llA -cent-stamped en
velope bearing your address. If you
want copy of 40-page booklet "CVD"
(about heart and arteries and blood
pressure) Inclose 10 cents coin.
Altitude
While In the Rocky mountains last
summer my daughter and I caught
Bevere colds. Friends there said qui
nine 1b harmful at high altitude.
But we have used quinine with uni
form success as a safe remedy for
such attacks for many yeara. Please
advice. (Mrs. W. O.)
Answer Quinine Is as safe aa the

which it la short-sighted to shirk.
3 Applying this doctrine to our
present situation, the community of
nations Is now threatened with
"domination by concentrated force
alone." Our trade, our communica
tion, our very friendship with other
members of the community of na
tions are thus also threatened. More
over, what "lies before world civiliza
tion necessarily Includes our own."
Thus, It behooves us to see that
domination of the world by concen
trated force does not come to pass.
For the present, this does not mean
we should go to war. But we must
be aware of our responsibilities, and
carry them out toward those who
are fighting on what may be called
our side.
This la exactly what the president
meant last winter. vhen he gave the
senate military affalra committee the
Impression that he regarded the
Rhine as an American frontier. This
Is exactly what Secretary Hull aald
to congressmen and senators last
spring, almost with tears In hla
eyea, when he waa trying to muster
a majority for revision of the neu
trality act. Thla la exactly what the
president and hla advisers have con
stantly told one another In their
private talk during the past four
troubled years.
A precla containing the main
points to be covered la understood
to have been prepared In the state
department. The admirable language
of the message waa the president's
own. But. If It had been Just the
other way around. It would hardly
have mattered. Whoever produced
the parts, the whole waa an exact
expression of a shared viewpoint.
Two detalla are of special Interest.
As a specimen of the kind of re
sponsibility Imposed by membership
In the community of nations, the
president remarked that "when the
time comes, the United States must
use Its influence to open up the
trade channela of the world." This
waa Included In the plea for the
trade agreements, but has a broad
significance. A general economic
appeacement Is regarded at the state
department as an absolute postwar
necessity.
Then there Is the president's dec
laration of "hope and expectation
that the United States will not
become Involved In military partici
pation In the war." Thla la an
Indirect admission that, while we
are avoiding "military participation."
we may become Involved to the
point of sending material aid to the
democratic side. By Its very limita
tions, the statement Is also an Indi
cation of the president's fear of
being "another Wlleon." of hla mem
ory of the foolish promise of the
1918 election.

of commerce, says:
"Industrial activity in the
last three months of 1939
MATCHED THE BEST QUAR
TER IN 1929. Christmas trade
was the LARGEST SINCE

It all depends on the point

Most average Americans want

UOPKINS adds: "Advance of
prices has been less than
appeared likely two months
ago, and thus an expanded vol
ume of consumer purchasing
power may be expected."
That is sound reasoning. The
lower the price, THE yORE
PEOPLE CAN BUY. Which
suggests this further thought:
The higher the cost of produc
tion, the higher the selling price
must be. Taxes, inefficiency,
industrial wars, etc., all enter
into cost of production and so
add to the price.
The farther we can go in the
way of holding down taxes,

industry, the LOWER PRICES
CAN BE and the MORE PUR
