Fighting Hopeless Cause? IT may be the very hopelewnew of the Wendell Willkie cause, from the standpoint of practical poli tics that makes it so intriguing. The mere IDEA of a public utility magnate even presuming the POSSIBILITY of being a presidential nominee has its dramatic shock, the element of sur prise, its romantic allure. And as for succeeding Franklin Delano Roosevelt in the White House, the proponent of the holding company "death sentence, well, that comes under the heading of an H. i. Wells fantasy, the Man from Mars or traveling in a rocket to the moon I . CO with this hard-headed and extremely successful power trust executive, actually ENTERING the lists for the Republican nomination, and thousands of American men and women, apparently in their right minds, seriously devoting themselves to his cause, one has what is far and away the most colorful and ro mantic scenario since the dramatic days of Theodore Roosevelt, the Bull Moose, and the quixotic William Jennings Bryan I IN fact, while it is a complete reversal of the favorite political symbol of our forefathers, from "log cabin to the White House," its great appeal undoubtedly has the same foundation in the American ideology, namely: that in this great land of the brave and the free, "a man's a man for his origin or his background, ANYTHING is possible, And, therefore, the man who, against overwhelm ing odds, sets out to DO the impossible inevitably catches the public imagination and arouses wide spread popular acclaim and admiration. The difficulty of that task may proceed from one type of environment or another. But, as long as it re veals that Individual fearlessness, determination and never-say-die spirit, which has made this country what it is today, "we the people" can't resist taking off our hats, and in spite of the usual partisan con siderations, give three rousing cheers to the gallant little contender. X7HICH undoubtedly accounts for the surprising TT fashion in which this Wendell Willkie movement is growing But, of course, there is as far as this column is concerned. For the more we hear what Willkie thinks, the more we study the man, and his ideas, the more enthusiastic for hig nomina tion we become. We grant that because filiations, he hasn't more than a one to twenty chance of securing the Republican nomination, but we are more and more convinced that the chance, however slight, is worth working for. And in support of this belief we offer the follow ing condensation of the Willkie program, as outlined in the recent speech he delivered in Kansas City: "1. The purpose of government is to make men free. Their freedom must be economic as well as political. Unem ployed men are not free men. "2. Freedom is achieved only by limiting the power of everyone, whether In business or government. Govern ment that is TOO big, is Just as bad as big business. "3. Freedom is also established by establishing certain economic guarantees. We must provide for the destitute and the unemployed; for reasonable old-age benefits; for public works; for public health; for the right of labor to bargain collectively; for the regulation of public utilities and of big business. Many of these things the New Deal has done. "4. But farming, business and industry have made this country great not government. Therefore, while establish ing minimum economic guarantees, and while regulating big business, we must help and stimulate private enterprise. This the New Deal has not done. "5. To stimulate private entemrise our nnvfrnm.nl mint have a business attitude toward our economic problems. It must be the steward of our prosperity. It must see to it that the economy operates for the profit of us, the people. This calls for the following major steps: a. A new tax policy designed to raise the most nnihu money with the least possible harm to private enterprise. o. n new spending policy. When the government spends our money it should open up new economic opportunity for our private enterprises. Increasing our debts without in creasing our opportunities will end us in bankruptcy. This is a simple business principle. e. A new kind of budget which will reveal how the gov ernment is spending our money. The present budget does not tell us, and therefore we cannot really control our ex penditures. We cannot really control the power of the spenders. d. A new International outlook which will recognize that long term prosperity cannot be attained without for eign trade. ". We must work toward post-war reconstruction that will include reciprocal trade agreements, open interna tional markets, and international monetary standards that Cn..b" T1'"1 on- Meanwhile, we stay out of war. "7. What we need is a new outlook, a new way of getting at things. W. must redesign a government system which, in view of our progress in other fields, has become obsolete. e do not want a New Deal anymore. We want a new world." ..BAA MOW, assuming it is unfair and un American to bar any American citizen from the White House be cause of his material background. whether that background happens to represent big or little busi ness, financial success or financial failure, it would be interesting to see how many American Citizens approve of the principles advanced bv Mr. Willkie quite aside from the fact that he turned an unprofit able light and power company into a profitable one. by increasing the consumers, and reducing the con sumers COSTS ! 10 Kearny, ft.

CHANGINO CONC At present the term arthritis means Joint inflammation. In flammation conveys the essen- FrAtrl tlal ideal of a v;l rhanff ne rm. action in the tissues charac terized by the classical red ness, heat, pain and swel ling (rubor, ca lor, dolor et tumor and ac companled with e x u d a tion of plasma and Lueco- cytes (white blood corpuscles, phagocites) into the affected tis sues. In most cases of chronic arth ritis the Joint disability is of in sidious onset and the patients re call no apparent inflammation of the affected Joints Just a grad ual swelling, soreness, stiffness, now better, now worse, until, in the course of months or years, the trouble becomes a fixed in firmity. 1. There is no definite or spe cific disease condition a physic ian can recognize as "rheuma tism" or "arthritis." 2. There is no scientific basis for the folklore that wet weath er or dampness or cold climate or nudity or insufficient heating of dwellings or exposure has any more to do with Joint trou ble than it has to do with many other complaints which no one attributes to such inevitable Incidents of being slive. 3. To the best of our present knowledge chronic Joint disabil ity is in the great majority of cases not an inflammation at all, but rather a degeneration, a nutritional deterioration, and the characteristic manifestations of degeneration are not redness. heat, pain and swelling, as if the Joint were inflamed, but impairment ef function due to hypertrophy or atrophy. Hypertrophy is overgrowth. Atrophy is wasting or shrinkage of the tissues. Generally more or less hypertrophy occurs in the synovial lining membrane of the affected Joint and in the carti lages or other tissues about the Joint in the earlier stages of the disability. Atrophy or shrinking or wasting of these same tissues occurs in the more advanced stage of the arthrosis arthrosis means merely Joint disease. Hypertrophy and trophy are THE CAPITAL PARADE By JOSEPH ALSOP and ROBERT KINTNEP Released by the North American Newspaper Alliance. Ine. Washington, June 3. The ap pointment of Jay Pierrepont Moffat as minister to Canada strikingly marks the president's sense of the seriousness of the present crisis. The relations be tween the United States and Canada being almost indestruct ible. Ottawa has not until re cently been concidcrrd a diffi cult post. The president has used the Canadian legation as a sort of back-yard, into which he tossed the left-overs who fitted nowhere else. Th. last two ministers, ev.rvone ought to remember, were Uncle Pan lei Rnper and your Master Jamea whom It was necessary to pry out Cromwell. One was a political hack of th. commerce department. Th. other was a political "fat cat" who had to be suitably but harmlessly re warded. Only lately there waa talk Cromwell's place, thus establishing that Jreph I Pavlea would Inherit a tradition of truly Imposing grand eur. But now the attuation hsj chanced radically.

The speech waa on. of the few. in that earlv period when the preldent waa con stderahly ahead of public opinion on foreign questions, which received al most universal approbaUon.

With all due respect to the theories of great doctors of the past, the precise chemical tests of today fail to substantiate the fancy that an excess of uric acid or any other acid in the blood or tissues causes either gout or any other Joint trouble.

I ft v- J-; it- "-, in.1-ilr-- Br FRANK JENKINS CAIRLY careful guesses indi- cate that the amount appro priated to be spent for national defense next year will be around four and three-quarters billions. That is roughly three-fourths of the sum spent for the army and the nsvy in the first full year of our actual participation in the world war. ON the basis of SPENDING ALONE, It is evident that we are going seriously about the business of defending our selves. But spending alone isn't enough. Appropriations, bonds and blank checks won't protect us against an enemy. Only guns, ships, tanks and planes will do that. w EARY and bloody British soldiers returning from the hell of the Flanders battle cry out: "For God's sake, give us more airplanes. When we duck a nazi bomb, we want to see a British plane chase the bomber.' All the appropriations in the! world can't give them the protec tion they plead for. Only actual, physical weapons of war can do that. Actual, physical weapons of war can't be produced by the waving of a wand or the passing of an appropriation bill. They have to be MANUFACTURED. THERE is no thought here of complaining of defense ap propriations. Before the actual guns, ships, tanks and planes we need for defense can be man ufactured they must be financed. The point Is that financing (ap propriations by congress) is only a preliminary step. What will actually COUNT is getting ef ficient weapons in large num bers, quickly. C"OR years we've been listening to the preachers of the doc trine of scarcity the less we produce the smaller the surplus. the higher the price, etc. Unless we want to find our selves In the terrible predica ment of the British soldiers In Belgium who prayed for British fighting planes to chase the Ger man bombers away, but didn t have them because they DIDN'T EXIST, we've got to abandon this doctrine of scarcity. In a bad pinch, when you need plenty of weapons to defend yourself, the doctrine of scarcity becomes the rankest of all ab surdities. If you doubt that, ask the Brit ish infantrymen who needed sup porting planes but DIDN T HAVE THEM. THIS Is the greatest industrial nation on earth. If sensibly organized and permitted to oper ate on business principles, our great manufacturing plants can provide us QUICKLY with the weapons we need. But if we let the politicians hamstring our in dustrial plant, as they've been doing for years, we'll come out at the little end of the horn. IS STARTED TO SAVE AMERICANS FOR GOD Chicago.
