This was desig nated as "fright propaganda," and a poor way to shake the ?pople out of their complacency, he undoctored facts are held more Impressive. The publio Is salivated pessimistic propaganda and besides do not scare as eas ily as the evening Orson Welles Jiresented over the radio, "The nvasion from Mars," too realist ically. Ose Mat) Itlbune a Russia Has Everything Those who are still surprised at the showing made by the Red army might glance over the recent report of F. E. Crowley, the F.E.A. head. In October alone U. S. A. shipments to Russia included 7000 fighting planes, equal to 84,000 planes a year; that is about ten times the annual U. S. plane production not so long ago. But listen to this from the same report: The red army also has received from the United States more than 3500 tanks, 130,000 submachine guns, almost 150,000 trucks, 29,000 jeeps, 225,000 field telephones and 730,000 miles of field telephone wire. With unlimited man power, with trained officers in practically unlimited numbers also, and with this steady stream of "tools" from the United States in addition to what Russia produces herself; how COULD Russia fail to have one of the greatest fight ing armies the modern world has ever seen. For she has EVERYTHING that it takes. Perhaps when the history of the year 1943 is writ ten up, the wonder will be not that the huge Soviet army thus equipped marched over 1000 miles straight through Hitler s boasted invincibles, but that the bear that walks like a man" ever stopped. Labor Leaders Repudiated The present situation reminds this department of a speech made before the U. S. Chamber of Com merce at its annual-convention in New York nearly a year ago. The speaker was William Green, perennial presi dent of the A.F.L., who prides himself upon a bull like voice and the machine-gun fluency, of a market place auctioneer. The high point in his speech came when he de clared organized labor had outlawed all strikes and walk-outs for the duration that there was only one desire in the ranks of the American workers and that was to WIN THIS WAR and there was no sacrifice organized labor would not DETERMINED to make manded it IT was a good speech a rousing inspiring one al- though as the skipper of this department remarked at the time, it sounded just a little bit TOO "good to be true. ' HOWEVER, we wonder how Mr. Green or any other of the organized him in a united anti-strike explain the PRESENT situation? Not only are strikes and walk-outs almost a daily occurence, but organized labor deliberately threatens defeat to the allied cause, if its (organized labor's) special demands for higher wages are not granted. Yes, labor has threatened to shut down the steel-mills and tie up the railroads if it can t have its own way, doing what its accredited leaders solemnly promised nine months ago NEVER WOULD BE DONE! 1IE have heard no condemnation from these same " American labor leaders nor any suggestion that, defied and repudiated by their own men they will resign? Yet In view of those pledges to the American people and the government how CAN they keep their positions, and keep silent! In any other business, management thus repudi ated would in common decency either step out, or demand those defying their principles and pledges be brought to time. But such considerations appar ently don't rule in the business of organized labor management at least we have heard, no comment whatever from President William Green. Maybe, Perhaps Perhaps the early Puritans had something after all. Not in confusing haDmness with sin. but in re ducing the "human comedy" a never-ending conflict between good and evil. At least such a simplification renders the present world situation more understandable. PJURING the recent Christmas week-end, for ex- ample, we were considerably amused by various and sundry efforts to rationalize the dilemma this celebrating or the traditional festival of peace on earth good-will to men, when there was no peace txcent neihaDS in the confines of the two ice-caorjed : pole areas and no good-will serve. And all after close to what DID it add up to?

M.D. Readers should address inquiries tot Dr. William Brady. 26ft El Camlse. Beverly HUls, Calif. ' Brucellosis, Undulant fever, Pseudo-Typhoid fever Before we enter upon the discussion of the nature of this disease I wish to make lt plain that I know very little about lt. So, please, mm f do not Infer from anything say here that tmr run I can tell you whether you have the dis ease, or, if you know you have it, what you should do about it- Your physician, who made the diag- Or Brady nosis, is better qualified to treat the illness than any other, I should say. Fur thermore, I have no printed matter upon brucellosis. Per haps you can get free pamphlets about it by writing either V. S. Public Health Service, Washing ton, D. C, or your own state or provincial health board at the capital. Most cases of brucellosis are of the undulant type, up a while, down again and so on. Some cases are of the intermittent type, a period of fever, then a period of improvement and ab sence of fever, and presently another period of fever. Some patients remain ambulatory throughout the Illness, which may drag on for many months. Some are In bed when feverish, up and even dragging them selves about between whiles. The term "undulant" means rising and falling like waves, and refers to the fever, the general symptoms. The term "pseudo-typhoid" means sham, spurious typhoid, and in some cases the disease is actually mis taken for typhoid fever until the primary-run of fever subsides and then, unlike typhoid (as a rule) after an interval of unsat isfactory convalescence, the pa tient has a recurrence of fever and general symptoms. Then there are a considerable number of cases of chronic un dulant fever, and these unlucky victims, not being ill enough to be disabled, having only occa sional slight fever it any. are likely to make only vague com-. plaints of just not feeling well, losing weight, being tired all the time, having backache, pains and lameness In muscles and joints, neuritis, headache, slight mental confusion, etc. all of COMMUNICATIONS Letters to th. Editor must Mat the name fti.d address oi tbe writer llthuuDb the use of a pen name it Initials for publication is per missible The Mall Tribune re terves the rlgbt to edit all letters with a view to clarity and eoo tensatlon. What's la a Name? To the editor: Doubtless all Mall Tribune readers took note of the front Dage article, Dec. 23, telling of President Roosevelt's desire to Junk the name "New Deal" as being "outmoded," out of date, etc., and substitute for It In the public mind the words "Win the War." That would surely rate a good laugh, If the public lip wasn't so badly cracked as to make the laugh painful. It would be keen ly amusing if it werj not so in tensely and badly political. Would gall be sweeter If It were called honey? Would the polecat odor be pleasant if It were called attar of roses? For more than a decade now. the American system, Its Institu tions, laws and liberties, have been warped, twisted and dis tort by a blighting, paralyzing, socialistic, un-American policy called the New Deal. Yes. F.D.R. himself christened It. He was proud of that name in 1932, 1936 and 1940, What has happened that he now wants to slough It off and forget lt? Several years ago It was re ported In the papers that a prominent New Dealer had said, "The American people are sc dumb that they don't know what we are doing to them." Well, be lieve It or not, it was all too true. For the people seemed to be hypnotlied. But after a decade of It, that hypnotized people are snapping out of it, and are recognizing the New Deal for Just what It Is, and has been, from the start: so that their bitter experiences no longer taste sweet to them. The malodorous thing no longer seems fragrant. In fact It is los ing Its power as a vote-getter. That Is why F.D.R. calls lt "out moded" and wants a more HEMORRHOIDS (Piles) Hernia (ftuptirt), Fissin w ftstili th tUienUT Ip4lt frtmt t,aUfc tticl.toryuta powaf.

QUESTIONS ANSWERS I Tee Strength of Iodine vr.4n t.ir.n th. lodin Ration for HV.nl years 1 was aatonlshed to read our answer to a query aaylnf th. article w. set when we as the drug gut tor "Iodine" 1 about three times the itrengin oi ui" ui ivuiu. in. r. o-i Answer It would astonish me. too, to find I had Jald that. I'm sorry, but there are two strengths ot "Io dine." The lamlllar old linciuro m Iodine contains approximately 7 oi elemental Iodine. The newer Mild Tincture of Iodine contains approxi mately 3 of elemental Iodine. Thla Mild Tincture of Iodine Is the strength exDreealT Intsnded for popular uae as a tint aid disinfectant for minor wounds or for painting over bruises or awellinfts. Tha older stronger Tincture of Iodine '(7 anouia oe reit u ohn'.clans imd aurgeons exclusively. Mild Tlnoturo of Iodine Is the prep aration I suggest for the "lodm Ra tion." Nearly everybody needs an iodine ration to supplement the de ficiency of most diets. Especially peo Die who do not get much sea food and do not tue iodized salt instead of ordinary salt at table and In cook ing. Especially school children In their early 'teens (to prevent simple goitre) and adults .n their forties (to pre vent golnf stale).

Everybody would line up under that banner, and com plete unity be secured by the simole magic of a new slogan But please note this, that F.D.R. has not even remotely suggested that any New Eeal policy be abandoned. He simply fears a campaign in which the New Deal record is dug up and made tne issue Well, whether this war is over. or Isn't, In November, 1944, "Win the War" will not be an Issue at this election. But slow ly, steadily, Inevitably, the New Deal has forced itself to the front, as the dominant issue in this campaign. Edwin Deacon, Talent, Ore, He Likes the Idea To the editor: I am anxious to get the detail on this bright idea of Mr. Mc Clung. I think I am gping to give lt my full support; providing he wui let me in on the ground floor. There are some ticklish questions to be cleared up, be fore I decide to help put lt across. How does ft square with the Atlantic Charter? I have a fear that some of the other countries might want some of that gold Then If I am let in on the ground floor and make terrible big haul what about the 95 per cent profit tax? Whill I have to Join the Union to avoid that? I un derstand Al Capone's friends had that figured out all right, but got caught on another hook. Was that because they did not all loin the union? If I loin I am going to insist on raising the price, well somewhere between five and a thousand dol lars an ounce. Then we can give all the boys that come home a union managed factory that pays at least ten dollars an hour, that DREAMLAND Popular Prices 8 to 12 4 BIG HOURS OF DANCING Popular Prices RAY'S MUSIC Everyone Welcome! ought to get their votes. Then why not get that other ten per cent of gold by extending our law over seas and making lt Illegal for anybody else to have it? . . What do you suppose we have been hoarding this gold for, and paying above market prices, if not to make killing? Then we have some laws against monopo lies, cornering markets, ceiling prices, to stop inflation, and even two business men agreeing on a fair price, called fixing prices or conspiracy. I suppose we would have to come in under the head of "col lective bargaining" to avoid all such annoyances. I don't know just what that means, but I know it covers a multitude of sins, and we would need It. I understand that was the bargaining system Hitler "used in dealing with the Jews. So I guess our supreme court had lt about right. ' "The Individual has no rights they are obliged to respect." That means do as I want or else? I will be anxious ly waiting further developments. I, J. Medford, Dee. 28, Name on file, And Ever Will Bet To the editor: Your editorial on President Erb's death, indicates you do not understand. - An understanding of natural law should convince one tl.at the stuff of which we are made la immortal to Illustrate: oxygen, hydrogen, primal elements, al ways were, they could not be made, If they could be made, then made of what? The component parts of our bodies are "without beginning of days or end of years" Immortal. The brain, an organ electrical ly operated, together with the rert of the body when cremated after death goes back instantly to the primal elements of which they were composed, and they are eternal. Time, space, always were, thev could not be created, the crea tive power the power to change by processes of natural law al ways existed; primitive man man called that power GOD. space is infinite, what could be outside of space, but more space?
