dispatch from Washington, D. C.r
Washington, June 7. What the government Is doing is
trading in so-called surplus war material to manufacturers
in part payment for new equipment. Just like an automo
bile trade-in. Then the manufacturers sell this traded-in ma
terial to the allies. Officially the government can take the
stand that it does not know what the manufacturers do
with the equipment."
The government CAN, but why do it?
THIS government is not neutral, never has been,
why pretend it is?
More than that why not repeal all laws, that in
any way conflict with the United States giving every
possible aid to the allies at this critical time, and pass
whatever laws are needed to make this assistance just
as effective as it CAN be
Such a course appeals to this paper as the only
sensible and honest one to pursue.
We don't like the idea of Uncle Sam passing over
a gun to John Bull with one hand, and pretending to
pass it to some non-combatant American manufac
turer with the other. We don't believe the people of
this country do either.
Such a policy is devious, hypocritical and undigni
fied, unworthy of a great democracy such as this.
a a
IN the present world crisis, as we see it, there are
only two courses for this country to pursue :
Either extend EVERY POSSIBLE AID to the
allies, or extend no aid at all, either enter the war to
the extent of being the source of unlimited supply for
England and France, or keep entirely out of it.
Certainly no one can doubt the American people
are overwhelmingly in favor of the first procedure.
Then why in Heaven's name not do it, and if there
are any laws on the statute
them, instead of leaving them there and either evad
ing or breaking them.
ANOTHER item in the
" follows:
So that this arms exchange could not become a subject
of heated discussion in the congress, an adjournment was
taken over the week-end, even though there was a great
deal of urgent business to transact."
THAT strikes us as even worse.

and debate must be suspended, and normal demo

be put over in the interim?
To a man up a tree it
the present administration
ent deplorable war hysteria instead of performing its
plain duty, and combatting it.
By all means, in this world emergency, let us give
the hard pressed allies EVERY POSSIBLE ASSIST
ANCE. But let us do it HONESTLY, above board
and legally, not by silly subterfuge and pretense!
Compulsory Military Training?
WE doubt if the country at large will react favor
ahlv in trio Now Vnrlr Timos' nrnnncal Af rm-
pulsory military training at this time, even though
President Roosevelt endorses it
For outside of New York there are strong under
currents of feeling against anything that savors of
compulsion or militarism, and this proposal will un
doubtedly be interpreted as a combination of both.
Moreover, away from the Atlantic seaboard, the
fear of any foreign invasion is far less acute than up
and down the eastern coast, and only in case of in
vasion on this hemisphere would compulsory military
training seem "INDICATED."
A general preparedness program is universally
favored, but COMPULSORY or universal military
training, at this stage of the game, will in all prob
ability be accepted in the hinterland with lukewarm
enthusiasm, to say the least.
MEVERTHELESS, this paper can see no serious ob-
jection to such action. We doubt if a large con
scripted army will ever be needed, but why take a
chance?
As has been previously stated in this column far
better to have more than we need to successfully de
fend our democracy, than not enough.
For the entire lesson of the present tragedy in
Europe is the supreme danger of "chance taking,"
the criminal folly of the democratic habit to muddle
through, to be lulled into a sense of false se
curity, to invariably look on the bright side of things
instead of the dark, to prepare for the best instead
of the worst.
Moreover, there is no great expense in compulsory
military training, and if the need for extensive mili
tary action never conies. everyone prava it won't.
the training and discipline gained would be of defi
i nite national benefit.
- Frankly we can arouse no enthusiasm over such
a program .
On the other hand, better be safe than be sorry.
Nothing certainly could be much more tragic than
to find ourselves in need of a large, well-trained army,
and then have to send in hundreds of thousands of
boys, without such training whose lives, therefore,
would have to be NEEDLESSLY sacrificed.

PHYSIOLOGY
A question asked frequenUy
in warm weather is whether
one should, if thirsty, drink
water before a
meal, or in the
course of a
meal. When
one is very
warm, either
from active
play or work
or from expos
ure to high
tern perature,
is it better to
drink ice wa
ter, water
slightly cool-
ed, tepid water, hot water, or
water containing oatmeal, bar
ley, fruit juice or salt? May one
drink all the water one wants
or should the third be restrain
ed and only a small amount of
water taken at a time, when
one is very warm? Is carbon
ated, bubbling, effervescent.
sparkling, charged, soda, seltzer
water harmful or beneficial to
drink? Is distilled water prefer
able to natural water for 'drink
ing purposes?"
Precise chemical tests of the
gastric juice or chyme (food in
process of digestion in the stom
ach) have shown .that in ord
inary circumstances the effect
of a good drink of water, hot
or cold as you prefer, is just
the opposite it causes in
creased , secretion of gastric
juice and promotes better di
gestion. So on scientific ground and
ample experience we advise
everyone who is not actually ill
or under medical care to drink
all the water he wishes before,
with or after meals. There is
just one sensible caution to
heed don't use water or other
beverage to wash down incom
pletely masticated morsels of
food. Eat when you eat and
drink when you drink.
Feeble or elderly folk may
prefer to drink hot water, es
pecially before breakfast in the
morning. If so. all right. Hot or
cold it is a healthful habit, aids
digestion, improves peristalsis
or intestinal activity.
Unnatural and unphysiological,
in my opinion, is the practice
of drinking of large quantity,
from a pint to as much as a
quart, of tepid water containing
a level teaspoonful of salt in
each pint. The avowed purpose
of this is "thorough cleaning of
the digestive tract each day."
There is no better reason for
cleaning the digestive tract each
day than there Is for cleaning
the respiratory tract each day
This morbid fancy is a vestige

Washington. June 7. The

and sirioa th president wished to
cut even th recent additional army
request by 1300.000 000. ' It seems
doubtful that th $750,000,000 will
b forthcoming.
Consequently, tt Is quit possible
that th president will reply to
Messrs. Knudaen. Mesd and Krau.
when they tell him they need more
money, that $500,000,000 will be all
they can spend until th next ses
sion of congress. This la th excuse
for the failure to ask adequst ap

It Is a deceptive excuse, since maxi
mum production speed can be at
tained only by maximum contract
and maximum contract can be made
only with maximum appropriations.
But although for ome strange
reason th president Is still holding

A. L. Schafor of th San
Francisco regional office of the
Red Cross reports that war-
stricken Europe has received
$4,000,000 from the United
States in the past month. This
money has been provided by
voluntary contributions to the
Red Cross relief fund.
If we could know all the
good it has done to suffering
people, we would be amazed.
POUR million dollars, looked
at in a lump, appears to be
a large sum. Divided among the
130,000,000 people of the United
States, it represents a per cap
ita contribution of about 3 Mi
cents, or around 15 cents for
a family of four.
That is small.
THE sums needed (if every
body helps) are so little.
The human need is so tragically
great. America Is so fortunate,
and innocent human beings in
Europe are so abysmally un
fortunate. Let's all do our part now.
IF you have hay fever, accord
ing to Dr. Buenaventura
Jiminez, of the University of
Michigan, you're above average

you sneeze.
For nine years Dr. Jiminez
has been comparing the records
of his allergy department, (by
this time everybody knows
what an allergy is) with the re
sults of student entrance exam
inations. Those suffering from
hay fever, asthma and eczema
(allergic manifestations), he
says, rate from 8 to 10 percent
higher in mental achievements
than non-allergic students.
Emerson wrote a great essav
on Compensation, proving vol
uminously that for good there
is offseting bad and vice versa.
Being smarter, according to Dr.
Jiminez, is the compensation
for being allergic.

Tween Waking and Sleeping
I feel luxurious as a queen.
As tired at night, I slip between
My smooth cool sheets so whits
. and clean.
Then resting thete, befcre I
sleep,
Before I drift to slumber deep,
I see tree shadows softly creep.
On wall and curtain, window
pane. They move and sift and farm
again.
Dark silhouettes ef leif and
. limb.
I watch them there with drowsy
eyes.

sighs
And goes on crooning lullabies.

beams:

Ere long its mingled with my
. dreams. .
