nrize to the Ohio senator, if the latter would te!l him
how to balance the budget.
Friday night, before the Chicago bar association,
Senator Taft TOLD him.
Now how can the President get out of fulfilling
his part of the contract?
He can, of course, say there is nothing new in the
Ohio senator's speech. He can also say, if the Taft
prescription were followed it wouldn't work, but
after all isn't all that beside the point?
How can anyone tell what would work and what
wouldn't until it is tried? And the President hasn't
tried the Taft formula to date.
NO, we fear Senator Taft is not as dumb as he has
been painted. In accepting the President's chal
lenge, and refusing to crawl out on a limb himself, it
appears to this department he has placed the occu
pant of the White House on the spot.
If the President is smart, and his worst enemies
won't deny it then he won't quibble about the mat
ter at all, but at his next press conference give an
appropriate prize to the aspiring candidate for the
Republican nomination and call it a day! say a
brand new pair of fur-lined ear muffs!
- - -But Dodges the Issue
AND after fulfilling his part of the bargain the
President might pro on to explain, that what he
had hoped for, but not explicitly specified, was
the presentation of a national budget that WOULD
balance. Not a matter of "glib generalities", but a
matter of figures and facts.
Ever since the second year of his first administra
tion, the Republicans have been telling him to bal
ance the budget, and by implication at least, declared
if they were in power they would balance it.
Thev have repeatedly pointed, as the Ohio Sena
tor now does, to the tremendous growth in the federal
payroll, federal bureaus, federal grants, etc., ete., all
coming under the general heading, they have main
tained, of waste and extravagance.
But when hey have been asked specifically JUST
WHAT appropriation they would eliminate, or drasti
cally reduce, if they were in power, and precisely
how much the query has been met by a complete
and abysmal silence.
IT was no doubt with the vague hope of smoking out
1 the Republican opposition, in this direction, that
in one of his facetious and impulsive moods, the
President offered the Ohio Senator, a prize if he
would state how he WOULD belance. the budget.
Well Senator Taft accepted the challenge without
walking into the obvious trap, and as before stated,
we don't see how the President can avoid giving him
some sort of award, without violating the terms, if
not the spirit of the contract.
IT'S old stuff of course. It steps on the toes of no
beneficiary of federal largesse, from relief, through
farm aid, to national defense, and therefore loses no
votes.
This should be done, and that should not be done,
but just who should be deprived of federal benefits,
and by how much, is neither stated nor indicated.
But at the same time, as we recall the incident, the
President nyerely stated if Senator Taft would tell
him how to balance the budget, he (the President)
would give him a prize.
Well the Ohio Senator has carried out HIS part
of the bargain. It is now up to the President to do
the same.
Owing to the Urea numbers of letters received only a rew can oe unco.
So reply can be made to queries not conrorming ut miwuniuiu.

HOW IT FEELS TO BED UCE PHYSIOLOGICALLY
Plenty of misguided folk
know how It feels to reduce by
freak dieting. The more deter
mined ones who do succeed In
losing a few pounds that .way
generally look like the devil
and feel like his abode.
But here's how it feels to re
duce physiologically.
My dear Doctor Brady:
It Is about
time I wrote
to thank you
for the bene
fits I have re
ceived from
following you
rules for re
ducing.
better, at least no worse; K
must increase your "pep" and
tend to build up your health
In general. Incidentally It
should rather, improve your appearance.
THREE COUNTRIES
WIPED FROM MAP
DURINGPAST YEAR
Czecho - Slovakia, Poland
And Albania Grabbed in
Outburst of Aggression.
For years I
suffered from
a constant
tired feeling
caused, as I
now realize,
by carrying sixty pounds sur
plus weight.
Ever since I started reduc
ing according to your rules I
began to feel like a new per
son. I now have much more
pep and my general health has
improved a great deal. . .
You are a joy and blessing to
millions . . . you must have
wonderful patience , . . (M. C.
M.)
That closing comment pleases
me particularly, because so
many old sourpusscs seem to
think I have neither patience
nor human sympathy.
The principal fault with most
reduction diets followed by In
dividuals who are as fat In the
head as In the body Is that the
restrictions imposed still further
deplete the vitamin store in the
body of the victim who, ob
viously, has been worrying
along for years on a vitamin
shortage, otherwise he or she
would not have grown so obese.
Obesity, it must be remem
bered, Is malnutrition
Vitamin shortage, not food
shortage, accounts for the
breakdown in health suffered
by many misguided individuals
from a period of freak dieting
Vitamin shortage, too, accounts
for the let-down which comes
in the second week or so of
such unphysiologically adjusted
dieting and defeats the most
earnest intention of the over
weight. Please read again M.C.M.'s
remarks in the second para
graph of the letter. "Feel like
a new person", "more pep" and
"general health improved".
That's as it should be. A physi
ologically adjusted reduction
regimen must make you feel

Rabhlt I, Etrellent Food
Please tell me If there la any
danger of getting tularemia from
eating rabbit. Ia rabbit, stewed or
fried, aa good food and ae healthful
as chicken? We like It even better
than chicken, but . . . (A. W.)
Answer Rabbit mi1 fit la aa good
food and aa wholesome aa chicken.
Tularemia does not affect domestic
rabblta, only, wild rabbits. So there
la no danger of tularemia from
handling or eating domesticated rab
bits. A wild rabbit that seems atupld,
falls to try to run away, may be
suffering with tularemia: the liver
of the rabbit with tularemia appears
spotted and the spleen haa yellowish
spota too. Tularemia la contracted
by skinning or handling the Infected
rabbit (Inoculation through cut or
scratch In skin of hands) or aome
tlmes perhaps through bite of Insect
which has Infested the Infected ani
mal, rarely If ever by eating the
meat, provided the meat haa been
cooked.
Who Wants sionf
I will give 100 to the first person
who can prove that an oculist
(ophthalmologist, eye physician) can
cure diseases with eye glasses. When
an oculist prescribes glasses he Is
quacking It, for he has not had
proper training to do auch work.
(C. H. E.)
Answer I believe only an oculist
(ophthalmologist, eye physician)
should examine the eyea and test
the vision and. If necessary prescribe
or fit glasses for persons under mid
dle see. For persons over middle ace
an ODtometrlst or optician can fit
glasses aa well as a doctor can. In
regard to your S100 reward, It would
be difficult to prove that anybody
can cure anything, wouldn't It?

The Better 'Ole
CONSIDERING the ntional budget seriously for a
moment, we grant Senator Taft and the Republi
can party, this much, to-wit:
The Republican party is better fitter to make real
progress in this direction, than the Democratic.
For it is essentially the business man's party, and
better qualified therefore to place the federal govern
ment on a sound business basis.
The Democratic party, on the other hand, is essen
tially NOT the business man's party, but the party of
reform, idealism and humanitarianism.
We believe any entirely sane and completely non
partisan individual, who above all wished to see the
budget balanced, would choose the Republican party
to do it, on the ground it is the party best fitted for
that job. It might not be able to accomplish the feat
under present conditions, but at least it would get
farther m that direction than the Democrats.
We have a hunch this general idea will have a
considerable influence in the coming election with
those who regard the balancing of the budget as more
important than anything else.
N the other hand, as before stated in this depart-
ment, we see no real likelihood of budget balanc
ing, by either party until one of two things happen :
Either a genuine and far-reaching prosperity is
restored or,
The people of the country, by common consent,
agree to support a leadership that will compel them
to give up certain definite federal benefits. At the
present writing, the former appears far more likely
than the latter, but both appear very remote.
Washington, Jan. 6. One of
the mysteries of Washington is
the extraordinary diversity of
view attributed to the presi
dent. The mystery may perhaps
be explained by the following
reports of presidential conver
sations, all on the same sub
ject, all from sources of the
sort commonly described as "un
impeachable," and all received
during the past week.
Item 1. While In Hyde Park before
Chrtstmaa. enjoying himself In hi.
plantations of young treea, the presi
dent Interrupted a serious conversa
tion on foreign affaire with what
seemed a clear hint that he would
still be forming foreign policy after
1040.
Item J. While In Washington a
week or so later, weighed down by
budget-making and messaae-wrltlng.
the president declared that the hap
piest day of hi, life would be the
day of his return to Hyde Park alter
the 1040 election. At the me time,
he spoke of Cordell Hull and Robert
H. Jackson In auch laudatory tenns
that It seemed clear they constituted
his Democratic ticket.
Item S. At the same time a. Item
two. a White House caller mentioned
Justice William O. Douglas. The
president thereupon pralsrd Douglae
extraordinarily warmly, speaking of
hi, personal charm, his ablltly as an
administrator, hi, loyalty, good sense
and firm liberalism, all In the
highest terms. Thla Incident aubae
quently started the atory that "Bill
Douglas had been given the green
light" for 1040.
Farh of these Items. It must be
remembered, represents the authen
tic Impression of a responsible man
sound In wind and limb, with all
given senses Intact. The answer Is.
of course, that all men listen ovcr-

Washington, D. C (Spl)
The disappearance as Indepen
dent nations of Czecho-Slovakia,
Poland and Albania, with the
consequent increase in the
areas of Germany, the Soviet
Union, Hungary and Italy, and
the extension of Soviet Influ
ence and control among the
Baltic countries were the out
standing governmental changes
in 1939. says a bulletin from
the National Geographic society.
Other notable changes listed
by the society included the
transfer of the short-lived Hatay
republic at the northeastern
corner of the Mediterranean
from France to Turkey, the
ending of the war in Spain,
the election of a new pope and
the granting of autonomy to
Croatia by Yugoslavia.
"The end of Czecho-Slovakia
came on March 15," says the
bulletin, "when German troops
marched into Bohemia and Mo
ravia (the Czech portions of the
republic) and incorporated them
into the reich as protectorates.
Slovakia was placed under the
protection of Germany and
iater became a base of opera
tions for German troops against
Poland. Ruthenia, eastern ex
tremity of Czecho-Slovakia, was
taken over by Hungary and set
up under the name of Carpatho
Ukraine. "On March 22 Lithuania re
turned the port of Memel and
surrounding territory to Ger
many. "The 'Ostmark law' of April
14 made a formal end to Aus
tria and. divided it into seven
districts of Germany under the
supervision of seven governors
selected by and directly respon
sible to Chancellor Hitler. Ad
ministrative headquarters are
in Berlin, not Vienna.
Doom of Poland
"On September 1, after a aeries
of demands on Poland for Danzig
and the Polish corridor had been
refused, Germnay attacked Poland
and announced the Incorporation of
Danzig Into the relch. In a 'blttz
krelg' of leas than a month, Poland
was overrun and on September 28
Warsaw, the last city to withstand
the Invasion, fell.
Russian troops had entered Po
land from the east on September 17
occupying territory once owned by
Russia. On September 18. In
meeting at Brest Lltovsk, German
and Russian representatives an
nounced the partition of Poland.
By treaty arrangements Germany
received a little more than the west-
era half of Poland and the U. S. s. R.
the eastern part. Transfers of hun
dreds of thousanda of Germans and
Russlnna from the conquered areas
to their respective native land, were
also agreed upon. Plana for similar
transfera of populations from Es
tonia. Latvia and Lithuania Into the
relch were announced early In Octo
ber and the repatriation began In
November. Still earlier agreement
had been reached for the transfer
to the retch of Germans from the
Italian Tyrol.
"On October 10 the German gov
ernment announced the Incorpora
tion of the Polish provinces of Po
morze. Posen and Upper Silesia Into
the relch In the form of two newly
creatfd "relch regions I. a.. Danzig
and Watheland, with capltala In the
cities of Danzig and Posen.
"The Supreme Soviet formally took
former Polish western Ukraine and
the Polish whlta Russian region Into
the Soviet Union on November I
and 3.
Treaties Forced
"Hie U. S. 8. R. signed treatlea
with Estonia (September 38), Latvia
(October 6), and Lithuania (Octo
ber 11), giving Russia the right to
establish air and naval basea In those
Baltic countries. A, a reault of the
treaty with Lithuania, the U. S. S. R.
transferred Vtuia, which ahe had
taken from Poland, to Lithuanian
ownership. Vllna Is the ancient cap
ital of Lithuania and had been
