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

earth good-will to men, when there was no peace

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

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

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

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?

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.
