Come, Come, General! I
GENERAL HUGH JOHNSON never minces his
words, which is an asset in a newspaper col
umnist But in that direction,' as in most others, there
can be too much of a good thing, and of late the Gen
eral has been guilty of supplying it
IN this morning's offering, for example, the General
makes the charge that if Wendell Willkie continues
to gain on the President in the present sensational
fashion this country will be in the war against Ger
many before the end of September.
The General absolves the President himself from
any such contemptably treasonable intention, but not
that "infinitesimally small, adulating group of un
elected totalitarian associates who would stop at
nothing to perpetuate not him, not any principles ex
cept the nazi principle of personalized power, not
anything,-but THEMSELVES."
In other words the General accuses that brain
trust group he likes to call the New Deal janizariat
of deliberating throwing this country into the Eu
ropean war, solely to re-elect a Democratic President
and retain their seats of privilege and power at the
federal pie-counter.
MOW, we have no exalted opinion of certain White
' House favorites and self-anointed "king makers,"
who undoubtedly so keenly enjoy their unexpected
rise to power that they are going to fight tooth, nail
and larynx to perpetuate an administration that will
perpetuate them, BUT,
We certainly do NOT believe that to gain their
ends they would deliberately involve this country in
the war against Germany, and furthermore, if any
such diabolical and depraved designs WERE enter
tained, we don't believe for a minute they could
be carried out.
MO, as we see it, the desire for peace, the deter
mination to keep out of this war in Europe as an
ACTIVE belligerent, is still the strongest single
sentiment in this country today.
There is a strong and growing fear that this can't
be done.
But it does not proceed from any desire, or even
willingness, on the part of the American people to
become involved; it proceeds from the fear that,
sooner or later, Germany is going so far that, directly
or indirectly, war will be FORCED upon us.
JORE than that
While there is an overwhelming svmpathv for
Great Britain, and a desire to do EVERYTHING
"short of war" to assist in her defense, that "short
of war" is a real obstacle to any outright war declara
tion, except as the result of some German "overt act."
In other words, the sentiment of this country is
still so strongly in favor of peace, and so fearful of in
volvement in war before this country is prepared to
wage it, that any effort by the White House jani
zariat, or any other government group, to deliber
ately FORCE such a conflict would be quickly de
tected, and arouse such public resentment that not
only would the effort fail, but it would utterly destroy
the party responsible for it
Would War Re -
WHILE on this subject,
if tlna rniintnr chniilrl
many before November 5th, would that necessarily
make the re-election of President Roosevelt CER
TAIN? There is no doubt it would help, that ancient
adage about not changing horses in the middle of
the stream would have a vastly increased importance.
But we are not so sure it would, as General John
son implies, transform an approaching Republican
victory into CERTAIN Republican defeat
POR, after all, if President Roosevelt is to be beaten,
two things will beat him.
First, widespread and strong popular opposition
to a third term.
Second, a general conviction that if this country is
ever to get out of its "stabilized depression," put its
unemployed to work, and secure anything like PER
MANENT prosperity, some one other than President
Roosevelt will have to do it.
Well, we are in a war-torn world. We have been
there for close to a year. Involvement in that war
has been feared for a long time, and therefore the
possibility of war has certainly been pretty well dis
counted, as far as public psychology is concerned.
Can anyone be so certain then that if our peace
efforts should fail, the American people's fears should
be fulfilled, they would AT ONCE execute a com
plete political flip flop?
XH AT would be the logic in it? If "we the people"
" don't want a third term President in peace, why
would we want one in war?
If we are convinced President Roosevelt has failed
to )lve the unemployment and depression problem,
and someone else must replace him if this is to be
done,
WOULDN'T SUCH RECOVERY OF MORALE
AND INDUSTRIAL POWER BE EVEN MORE IM
PORTANT IN TIME OF WAR THAN IN TIME OF
PEACE?
We think it would.
Assuming General Johnson is correct in his first
assumption that Mr. Willkie i gaining on the Presi
dent Fensa'.ionally, then, as wi see it. tliere can be no
i certainty at all that even WAR would stop him.

A woman aged 35 years under

for removal of tumor from
"around the
uterus, with no
1 n e i sion." as
she describes
it. S h e w a s
married nine
teen years ago.
has three chil
d r e n ranging
in age from
n i n e to four
teen years.
After the
operation she
found they had
made a large Incision. The doc
tor said it was necessary to re
move the tumor. The doctor in
formed her husband that there
would be no more children, as
it had been necessary to remove
both ovaries, which were in
volved in the tumor.
She and her husband have al
ways gotten along happily and
never minded being poor in
worldly goods as long as they
had each other and their three
fine children.
Now she confides in me, she
says, because I'm a doctor and
do not know her as her own doc
tor does. All right but if the
woman only knew it there is no
one in whom it is safer or easier
to confide than her own doctor
at home. I'll wager that nine
out of ten readers who have ever
done any confiding will testify
that this is so.
The reader says her present
problem is that she feels so se
rious about everything and she
worries so much, her husband
tells her she never smiles any
more, and she can't confide in
him.
Reading between the lines I
deduce there is nothing in par
ticular for the girl to confide
in her husband, and if there
were that he must be a pretty
good scout to confide in.
The reader asks whether the
doctor had a right to remove
the ovaries without consent of
her and her husband.
As to that, I am no authority.
But I should think that consent
was implied when husband and'
wife accepted the treatment of
fered. It goes without saying
that the doctors would have left
at least one ovary or even a
portrion of one ovary Intact if
that had seemed safe to do.

organs of a woman, for tumor,

moval of part or all of one ovary
or two is a contingent which
must be left to the judgment of
the doctors in every case and
a doctor is always reluctant to
interfere with organs or tissues
unless it is obvious they are al
ready damaged beyond recovery
by the disease process under
treatment.
Again reading between the
lines, I wish to reassure this wo
man and thousands of others in
like circumstance that, while
complete destruction by disease
of both ovaries or complete re
moval of both ovaries sterilizes,
that is, makes it impossible for
the woman to conceive, the loss
of the ovaries has nothing to do
with the woman's capacity to
continue her married life as hap
pily as ever. If this is what
worries the woman, she should
toss the idea into the ash can
and resume smiling right where
she left off.

only nation tn the hemisphere rich
In liquid capital, will lend money
agsinst South American surpluses
thus permitting Boutb American
commodities to be stored until Ger
many la ready to pay a reasonable
price. (3 Marketing agreements will
be made between this country and
the South American nations, divid
ing the world markets as they were
divided, for example. In the pre-war
agreement. 13 The nations of the
hemisphere will then be free to trade
as they please, with Germany or any
one else so long as they observe the
conditions imposed by the U. S.
losns and the marketing agreements.
There are certain minor point in
the program, such as the promise of
additional V. 8. loana to finance
South American production of raw
materials like rubber, which this
country must buy somewhere abroad.
But the program's essence is expressed
In the three major point. The ob
ject of the new program Is the same
as the object of the hemisphere trade
cooperative, to shield the weaker
American nations from German pres
sure. A 8 HAS been aald, the program U
sane, and points In the right
direction. In making a balance sheet
of the factors operating for' and
against the program's success, the
most Important item on the favor
able aide 1 the attitude of the South
American leaders. At Havana, as at
all such conferences, the Argentin
ians and one or two other delega
tions made a how of independence
for the record.
This ahow In no way altered the
basic fact, that the leading men in
all nations of the hemisphere hate
the prospect of German domination,
are now exceedingly afraid of it, and
are therefore willing to agree to ex
traordinary measures to guard their
Independence.
On the other hand this attitude or
the South American leaders will last
only so long a they feel reasonably
sure of the protection of the United
States. This psychological problem
la fundamental. Furthermore, there
are a number of practical obstacles
also threatening the program.
For one thing, the president has
asked congress for $500,000,000 to fi
nance the program through the RFC.
But congress ha not yet acted. If
the worst fears of the army and navy
department are substantiated. Ger
many will be victorious this summer.
The program Is extremely complex,
and If congreea delays much longer
there will be no time even to arrange
the surplus loans.
Then too. the marketing agree
ments will have to cover several
commodities, such as wheat and beef.
Being produced In this country, these
are political poison, and will add to
the tremendous difficulties which al
ways attend the preparation of mark
eting agreements. Finally, even If
the loans and msrketlng agreements
are successfully arranged, they will
still be pretty feeble weapons against
the incessant fifth column activity,
the brutal economic discrimination
against unsympathetic businessmen,
and the elaborate propaganda with
which the German will attempt to
combat the American effort.

THE war scene, at least mo

There are hints In the news to

ly advertised blitz against Brit
ain may be merely a smoke

WAR guessing is a hazardous

A TROPICAL storm moves
along the Louisiana coast,
piling up water in the bayous,
bays and inlets, driving people
from their homes to the higher

19 lives.
Among other economic calam
ities of the storm is the ex
pected drowning of most of this
season's crop of muskrats, whose
fur is one of the principal
sources of income in the swamps
of Louisiana.
On Wednesday, the storm Is
