Memorial Day TODAY is Memorial Day and, in accordance with a custom that has lived through three-quarters of a century, the graves of American soldiers have been decorated. It is a solemn reminder of the lives that were sacri ficed in the Civil War, th-T Spanish American War and the World War an expression of gratitude and a tribute to the courage of heroes of the past MEMORIAL DAY this year, however, has added significance. Today another war is sweeping much of the world, a war that is ruthless and devas tating beyond human conception. The searing flame of an appalling "blitzkrieg" has been felt on old bat tlefields of Europe Ypres, Arras, the Somme. Memories here are quickened by this sudden, ghastly struggle, for 130,000 American soldiers were sacrificed on these same battlefields twenty-three years ago. TEN MILLION men gave their lives in that war, 19 million were wounded, another ten million were disabled, three million were missing. Nine million children were left orphans, five million women were left without husbands and ten million women and old men and little children were forced to flee their homes! The memory of those terrible days was an object lesson that every nation on earth should NEVER have forgotten how tragic it is that greed and lust, intol erance and hate should again unloose the Four Horse men! A ND so, on this Memorial Day, the tragedy of war is doubly impressed upon us. We have learned from the bitter lessons of other nations that neutrality can be maintained only by armed might; that there is no national security abroad save where there is force behind it. But one thing is certain. Whatever the future may bring, the spirit of the heroes we honor today will form a shrine to guide the destiny of this nation. So today, let us reaffirm our solemn resolution that "these dead shall not have died in vain!' and that our rights and freedom may ever be protected with the courage and self-sacrifice THEY displayed. H. G. He Can Do Nothing Right I ESS than a year ago, we believe it was in August, " 1939, Congressman Hamilton Fish of New York returned from a sojourn abroad, and rushing to the nearest microphone assured the people of the United States there would be no war in Europe. In less than a month, Germany marched into Poland! About six months before this pontifical pro nouncement "Good Old Ham," again over the air, paid his respects to President Roosevelt and the ad ministration's 1939 rearmament program, as follows: "What I Intend to say this evening may not be ap proved or appreciated by the New Deal war mongers, hys terical internationalists, war profiteers, supcrpatriots. and Communists, who are all hell-bent on arming the United States to the teeth for the purpose of acting as a policeman for the entire world. "The contention that this country of ours Is in danger of foreign attack is sheer political 'bunk.' It aims to deceive the people into supporting a huge rearmament program in the guise of national defense, which, in reality, is nothing but a smoke screen to obscure the depression and economic failures of the New Deal. "I feel strongly that In the midst of a depression, with 12.000,000 unemployed, It is not sound policy or logical to cut down relief for our destitute on the one hand and spend billions for superarmaments and destructive purposes on the other. If we have billions to spend, it should be spent for the benefit and welfare of our own people in promoting their health and well-being, and to help the one-third of our population who, according to President Roosevelt, are ill housed, ill-clothed and ill-fed. "The American people cannot have their cake and eat It. too. We cannot spend billions on destructive purposes and have billions to spend for constructive and useful pur poses. The people must deckie whether they want to follow the sound advice of Thomas Jefferson or the pump-priming schemes of President Roosevelt. They are being led to be lieve that we are as defenseless as Ethiopia and China, and about to be invaded. It is all bunk!" But NOW. what do we hear from trip same suture as printed in the Congressional Record for May 24th, Congressman Fish (again!) speaking: "Mr. Chairman, President Roosevelt has been In power ever since Hitler came into power in Germany. No man In America has had a better opportunity to observe the preparedness program in Germany during the last 7 years. President Roosevelt has had full advantage of the in formation that came through his military and naval aides at Berlin, but, nevertheless, knowing that Germany had mod ernized its army, the President of the United States has completely failed to take cognizance of these facts and of this information and has failed to modernize and properly equip the army of the United States; and 1 say this without fear of contradiction from anyone. "The President as Commander in Chief is responsible for our national defense. "I believe in adequate national defense, and have at all times, but I think It is NOT UNFAIR to say that the Presi dent has failed to modernize our army. This is Just one more failure along with his failures with agriculture, in dustry, business, and to revive prosperity in America. His failure in national defense ran be added right on to all the rest. It is nothing unusual even after the expenditure of $7,000. 000.000. What has happened to the people s money? Some of it apparently has gone down the proverbial rat hole." CO there you arc, ladies and gentlemen! President Roosevelt was a war monger and alarm- i ist a mere 17 months ago for paredness that should have been devoted to the hungry and unemployed. And now he, and he alone, is responsible for the fact that this country has no army ready to fight. So the President is damned if he does and damned if he doesn't. And Congressman Fish, we regret to state, is not alone in taking this position, it promises to become more and more popular in partisan circles las time, and the war, go spending millions in pre on!

RELIEF Of NASAL CONGESTION Ephedrine or adrenalin, ap plied to the nasal mucou mem brane in the form of spray, drops, oil, un guent or by swabbing, are as alike as Ike and Mike, powerful vas omotor stimu lants. The vas omotor narvea j control the calibre of the smallest arter ies or arter ioles (not cap illaries, which are not blood vessels but mere spaces between tissues cells). Stimulation of the vasomotor nervts causes the arterioles to contract and blanches or shriv els the tissues they supply with blood squeezes the congested, lntumescent, boggy or over filled mucous membrane as you might squeeze out a sponge in your hand. The immediate relief this gives, where the nasal pas sages are all stopped up and the sufferer Is most uncomfort able. Is great. But, like the lift a person gets from any strong stimulant, the effect is only tem porary, and the after-effect is likely to be as bad or worse than before. Just as striking as the pri mary constriction of the minute vessels in the inflamed and swollen mucous membrane and the consequent shrinking, with opening of the nose and a period of comfortable breathing and diminished secretion, is the sec ondary or after-effect, relaxa tion, peresis or partial paralysis of the vasomotors, and a con sequent return of even, greater discomfort than there was be fore. You see, children, each application of such strong stim ulant creates a need for more. Where Inflammation is pres ent, as there usually is, fre quent repetition of this vaso motor constriction interferes with phagocytosis, that is, the migration of leucocytes (white blood corpuscles) or phagocytes through the tissues where they normally Ingest and destroy in vading bacteria. In other words medicaments having a marked astringent influence impede nat ural healing processes. It is in any case a question THE CAPITAL PARADE By JOSEPH A.LSOP and ROBERT KINTNEP Released by the North American Newspaper Alliance. Inc. Washington, May 30. Many of the president's most import ant subordinates believe he has presented an inadequate national defense program because, for the first time in his stormy ca reer, he has fallen behind the sentiment of the country. If proof of this theory is desired, it may be found in the really amazing story of the administra tion tax program suddenly pre sented to congress two davs ago. It la the tint maxim of polltlca, well known to the merest novice, that taxea are the worst kind of political poison. BecaitM this la an election year, the preeMent and moat of the cottreeslonal leadera origin ally planned to defer taxing to pay for Increased national derenae until the 1941 aeaalon of congress. Bor row now. tax later waa the hsippy slogan, which waa born of the aame aort of thinking that haa caused the president not to ak now for vitally needed maximum defense ap propriations. There are few mora practical pol itician, than the old Mltalaslppt fox. Chairman Pat Harrison of the senate finance committee. Harrleon waa not converted by tha slogan, however, alnce h la eerlouely concerned over the ttate of the national finances, and believes the votera ahare hta concern. He went to the equally practical senate Republican leader. Charles U McNary of Oregon. He sugceeted that congress ought to pasa a national dcfrna tax bill before adjourning. The conversation between McNary and Harrison must have been a re markable demonstration of the pol itical art. Harrison's advocacy of a tax bill waa purely personal. He went on to add that so tar aa he knew, the Democrat had no tax bill to otter, and to ask McNary whether tha Republlcana would make an Issue of the matter. McNary re plied first that tha Republicans had no ux bill either, and second that j he doubted they would make cap ital of the Democratic failure to present one. But he added that ha too waa personally convinced new taxea ottfht to be voted, and pre dicted that If they were requested by the prc.,1ent the Rep-.iolicana ,Mi'd go along Harrison cloned his conversation Brady - M. D. for the physician to determine whether and when any such lo cal remedy to shrink the swol len mucous membrane is neces sary or advisable it may be most essential in the successful treatment of sinusitis to reduce the swelling and maintain drain age from the sinus. So I think such agents as adrenalin and ephedrine should be left to the hands of the physician, or should be used by the patient only under immediate instruc tion by his physician. For infants and children with persistent obstruction and ex cessive mucous secretion in the nose, perhaps most troublesome at night when it drains back into the throat and gives rise to irritation or coughing, it is harmless and usually helpful to drop one or two drops of a bland oil solution of vitamin D in each nostril at bedtime. Older children or adults with sinus trouble may use three or four drops of the same solution in each nostril twice a day. QIESTIOVS AND ANSWERS PliMphoruft My doctor hu given mc phosphor us pUU to take. Do you know of any preparation that contain metab olized phosphorus? (Mrs. w. P. A.) Answer Yes. a glasa of milk con tains about three grains of metab olized phosphorus. Other rich sources of metabolised phosphorus are cheese, ettf yolk, beans, lean beef, oatmeal, peanut and plain wheat. Eating f.la The day 't?r I ate cole slow with mayonnaise dressing I discovered the mayonnaise contained fine particles of glass. Have Ben Told that If there had been any such glass particles In the mayonnaise t ate they would cut through the lining of stomach and cause Internal hemorrhage? (Mrs. K. J. V.) Answer Only Isrge silvers or frag ments of glass would be likely to cause any serious Injury. Small par ticles of ground or crumbled glass accidentally taken In or with food rarely or never cause any trouble. Good plan when such glass has been swallowed, as w.ien any for eign body, sharp or not, has been swallowed, to eat as much banana or mashed potato or chopped vege tables, especially greens or raw vege tables such as raw cabbage, lettuce, etc., for a day or two.

Beverly Hills, Calif. with McNary with the remark that he would have to aee the president and Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau Jr. Accordingly, he ask ed for appointments, without much hop of finding agreement with bla views. Meanwhile, however, an astound ing thing had happened. Mall be gan to eome Into tha White House and to meroben of congreaa express ing tha willingness of thousanda of Americans to do anything and pay anything for effective national de fenae. The White House letter read ers rtibbad their tncreduloua eyee: congressmen turned pale at the shock or what they at first supposed was an exhibition of mass Insanity. The people of America, reacting spon taneously to the grave national danger, were positively demanding more taxes. Tha whole picture "vaa suddenly altered by this moving manifestation of the real quality of the country. The president changed his mind. The treasury prepared a simple plan for a general 10 percent Income In crease, coupled with additional li quor, gasoline and other nuisance taxea. to raise S600.000.000 a year for five yeara and thus pay off S3, 000.000 .000 m national defense borrowing. The promise that the money would be ear-marked for debt-paying de lighted Harrison and auch senate conservatives as Harry Byrd of Vir ginia. Tha tough North Carolinian. Chairman Robert U Ooughton of the house ways and means commit tee, and other house leaders, agreed to go along. The tax program waa born. The house and senate presented a really unprecedented scene on tha day that the program waa publicly i disclosed. Commonly the mere men- tlon of taxea la enough to put long facea on senators and representatlvea of all parties. Until the laat moment opposition had been expected: for example the senate finance commit tr waa thought to be evenly di vided on the tax question. Yet aa soon aa the aubstance of the con gresslonal leaders' tax conference at the White House became generally known, endorsements of the new pro gram were to be heard on all aides. There la still much doubt of the president's sbimy to spend the money well, but as yet na one seems ready to say It ought not to be raised. It IS now hoped to pasa the tax bill before the Republican convention. All this would sound like a pol- Itlcal fairy story, if It were not for one thing. As reactions come In from the country to the president's fireside chat and the national de fense stepe taken so far. It ta grow. 1 Ing increasingly clear that tha best politics Is to go tha whole hog on j national defense. And tt la to be hoped that the president will soon besin to show his usual political ' acumen In the matter.

T'HE Germans (whom one seldom believes) says that Leopold himself asked for the armistice and himself accepted the German demand for uncon ditional capitulation. There seems to be little doubt that he acted entirely on his own, consulting neither his comrades in arms nor his min isters. The resulting shock of surprise was even more weaken ing in its effect than the loss of the Belgian army. Hitler is reported to be "pro found; stirred" both by the soldierly attitude of the Belgian king and his "political" wisdom in surrendering in the face of superior force. The Germans promptly set apart a Belgian castle as the temporary safe residence of the Belgian king until a permanent residence can be arranged for him. "T'HE Belgian premier, in Paris, says the king's decision, made against the unanimous voice of his ministers, will not be confirmed by the Belgian government. "The act of one man does not commit the entire nation," he adds. French military sources term Leopold's act one of "personal treason." Belgian leaders in France reach a decision to "disown" Leopold and organize a provis ional government. The British, running true to form, say little. MOST Interesting of all would " be the comment of Leo pold's father, who fought on and on, in the face of a situa tion that looked as desperate as this one does, to ultimate vic tory. PO one, of course, will deny the odds that faced Leopold. But Leonidas and his Spar tons and Horatitis who stood at the bridge will look down from their place among the im mortals and will say to them selves that the odds facing Leo pold were no greater than the odds facing them. T'HE Associated Press corres- pondent in Paris says mor ale remains unshaken by the sudden blow. The general French reaction, he adds, is "We've been betrayed from within and betrayed from with out, but we'll win just the same." MEANWHILE Mussolini, read ing the inside reports of his intelligence service, still teeters on the fence as these words are written at noon Tues day.

" When the first worlcl war broke out. Hoover was living in London; had for years been asso ciated with British mining com panies and, according to one ac count, had never voted in an election for president of the United States. He was more in timately connected with Eng land than any other president in the history of this country. These things were remembered when Hoover proposed repeal of the Johnson act. McNary led off by opposing Hoover's plan, challenging some of the statements of the latter, and was backed up by Austin, Martin and the others. Although both went to Stanford; both worked their way through that institution Hoover collecting laundry: McNary waiting on table Hoover never liked the Oregon senator (Hoover was an office boy in Salem, five miles from McNary's farm) and since that conference called by Ham ilton, Hoover likes McNary less than ever, s s t'HERE Is nothing to the talk of 1 a ticket consisting of Roosevelt for president and a Republican for vice president, because of the for eign situation.
