(Official City, State and County Newspaper) Foreign Representatives SMALL, SPENCER, BREWER (Incorporated) CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON Let the Knives Fly Observers this week may be treated | to a political spectacle which, in some respects, is unprecedented in our times. With the Republican national con- vention opening today in Chicago, we shall see the party vote its allegiance to its present titular head and then, unless present indications go awry, disregard his wishes on at least one important issue, the only argumenta- tive one before the ¢onvention. In normal times delegates to the Republican national convention have kept their ears attuned to messages from High Olympus. The voice of the political gods, speaking through the white house, has been obeyed without question. But on the prohibition question this ; ‘will hardly be true this year. What President Hoover might say ‘would be important, to be sure, but there would not be the assent, smack- ing almost of servile subserviency, which greeted the dicta of the party greats four years ago. If Hoover re- asserts his dry stand, the wets in the convention will be quick to challenge him. If he goes wet, the drys will castigate him as a traitor. If he de- clares again his famous phrase of 1928, in which he described prohibi- tion as a noble experiment, both wets and drys will give vent to sardonic laughter. ‘ 50/and military importance. 00 |establishment, however, were not in- jnew ideas about their obligation to |invading army capturing our seat of maintenance and operation of the nation’s armed forces but we do not, for a single minute, favor a policy which would permit this nation to become the prey of either the inter- national “pinks” or the world impe- rialists, A large number of the 55,000 men who were Killed in the World war died because this nation was not adequately prepared to give an ac- {count of itself in armed conflict. | In common with other peace-loving citizens, we would welcome world peace with open arms, but until other nations disarm, the United States can- ‘mot disarm. The United States will \go and has gone as far as any other leading nation toward disarmament. It should go no further than any other nation of comparable political The questions of disarmament and of economy in operating the military volved in the fight which this news- paper made to keep Fort Lincoln oc- cupied with regular troops. The only question involved was whether the troops should be maintained in Bis- marck or at some other army post. The reasons why The Tribune fought to” keep them at Bismarck were many and varied and were ade- quately covered in the briefs which were presented to the war depart- ment by local interests when the fight was in progress. Only one reason need be cited here. First and most important was our desire to keep in operation in North Dakota a unit of the Citizens Mili- tary Training Camp. Hundreds of our boys attend this camp yearly, learn- ing something of military science, practice and discipline and getting thelr country, not only in time of war but in time of peace. It is train- ing in citizenship as well as in the arts of war. In the event of war, these young men will be in much better position to step into the ranks of a citizen army than their brothers who have not had this training. Thousands of them will be better able to render effective service to the nation than millions of those who entered the army in the World war hardly know- ing one end of a rifle from angther. This state's casualties in the World war were the largest, in proportion to population, of any in the union. Many of our own boys were murdered by the previous indifference of the citizenry and of the nation to an ade- quate program of national defense. We do not want that kind of murder repeated if we can help it, for it is murder for this nation to send its youth into battle without the train- ing which adequate preparedness would give them. An army is just as necessary as a| capital. If we had no army we might have the unpleasant spectacle of an government. Millions of Americans have «given! If times were different it would not) be so. If conditions were good and| business were booming, Hoover might | say anything he pleased about pro- | hibition and the convention would | cheer him. He could advise the party to ignore it as an issue and it might safely do so. ! But this is 1932 and things are as! we find them. The delegates have assembled at Chicago to renominate President Hoover and will do so, even though many of them feel in their hearts that they might profitably do something better. They will know full well that they are re-indorsing a man in whom many of those who supported him in 1928 have long since} Jost confidence. And so it is that we seem destined to watch the convention fight it out on prohibition without hint or sug- gestion from the party’s titular lead- er. A compromise which would satisfy everyone seems impossible. The boys | who smothered their ideas for the , sake of party harmony and in the hope of getting a hand in the flesh- pots in 1928, are in a less temperate jmood today. | And so they bring the party to the eross-roads which prohibition has/! jmade for it. The wets are very, very ; wet and the drys are very, very dry. |The voice which speaks only pleas- | ant words gets no hearing in the| heat of the battle. Each side wants jaction and is not to be balked of it , by the politicians who, in the middle lof the whole business, fuss and stew like chickens who have hatched out a flock of ducks. The old political | Palliatives seem not to be working ‘very well. They are desperate for a new unguent which will salve the myriad wounds and restore harmony. In the old days the prosperity issue provided it, and now that it has van- ished they are helpless. ‘The knives are whetted and keen nd the arms which wield them lust for the fray. Let them fly. The na- tion will enjoy the show. Answering a Question In the People’s Forum column of ‘The Tribune today one of our readers asks us @ question which deserves an answer in the same fine spirit of constructive citizenship which actu- fates our reader to ask it. As so often happens, whatever dis- much thought to this subject in the 140-odd years of history which are behind us as a nation. None has brought to it more intelligence, more knowledge, and more fundamental understanding of all the factors in- volved than George Washington, and Washington was an advocate of rea-| sonable preparedness in order that peace might be preserved. ] The Philippine Problem A Washington correspondent the other day remarked that independ-} ence for the Philippines now is vir- tually certain. In fact, he remarked, | congress may be in such a hurry to get out of the islands that it will cause their economic ruin. Laying aside, for the moment, all arguments as to whether the Filipinos ought to be granted their independ- ence, it does seem fairly obvious that if they do get it the United States owes it to them to make the transi- tion as easy as possible. The Philippines have been a United States possession for some 30 years. If they are to be put on their own, the | United States must take every pre- caution to make sure that chaos will not follow. American responsibility would not cease when the American flag came down, unless America had first perpared her charges for com- plete freedom. The fact that thousands of Ameri- can citizens live in the island and have their all invested there also com- Plicates the problem, not to mention the millions invested by folks still in this country. The rights of these peo- ple cannot properly be neglected. Editorial Comment Editorials printed below show the trend of thought by other editors.

THE WILL TO BE BLIND Some admiring, oh, yeh? reader worte in to inquire whether I had been crossed in love or cheated out of my inheritance. She thought there must be something that had soured my out- look on life. No, no, I just spent 15 years at the general practice of medi- cine, family doctoring. One of my early patients had a Colle’s fracture—the familiar break of the forearm bone just above the wrist. I waited till he was back at work and then broke the sad news that I re- quired $25 as my fee. To this the pa- tient demurred. He opined ten bucks was plenty. I called his attention to the perfect functional result and the short period of disability and all that. But he was quite firm that ten berries was sufficient for hay for my horse. My goodness that would buy enough hay to run the horse for a month or more. Besides, wasn’t I just a young doctor and didn’t I make my morty easily? But I still argued that some of the old doctors might have kept the arm in splints two weeks longer and left it 20 degrees stiffer and_ still asked as much as I did for the job. So finally the patient settled the argu- ment by showing me that the wrist was perceptibly thicker than the un- injured one, which proved that my re pair work was a shade less beautiful than the Creator's original sculpture —so we had to settle for $18.75. Cataract patients—not my patients, I wouldn't know what to do with a who was not satisfied with my job. They write in to tell me all about it and how some friend knows a man who once heard of a miraculous cure of cataract after all the doctors had given the victim up as hopelessly blind ++. and even if one should have the operation the doctor advises, isn’t it true the patient has to wear strong Spectacles in order to see well? Yes, it is true. When you remove the crystalline lens from the eye, you can’t expect the eye to function satis- factorily without an artificial lens to take the place of the natural one you have discarded. Patients operated on for cataract after the older method which is still used by many eye surgeons in this country must wear not only strong spherical lenses but usually cylindrical lenses, too, to correct the astigma- tism due to the distortion of the cor- nea by the scar of the incision.

Address Dr. William Brady, in care of this newspaper. cataract patient in any case—often | |remind me of the fracture patient of the more progressive oculists, often do not require the cylindrical lenses because there is little or no astigma- tism left by the Smith incision, but all must put on their strong spherical lenses when they wish to read or do close work in comfort. This is a pretty poor excuse for post- poning or avoiding a cataract opera- tion, however. It is too much like the attitude of my Colle’s fracture pa- tient. It is unpleasant to realize it, but there are people who rather like to be helpless, dependent and recip- ients of pity, when they might regain their independence and self respect. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Skinny Winny Grows Plump May I say a few words for your weight gaining method. Up to two years ago I was what you call a holy fright, but not from choice. I was 64% inches tall and weighed just 109 pounds. I followed your instructions about eating before going to bed—took a chocolate milk shake to which I add- ed one-half pint of cream, also us- | ually a slice of bread and butter. I did this faithfully every day for four months and my weight went up 12 pounds, Today I weigh 135. family doctor assured me I never could gain as I was the thin type. Now when I stand before a mirror and look at my curves—which I like to do—I | always say Long Live Dr. Brady. (Mrs. | P. W. G.) Answer—Alas, a lot of Skinny Win- nies are doomed to stay that way. But if you can catch ’em before they’ve gone sour, there is always a fair chance to endow the poor things with curves and smiles. I really think it is largely a question of temperament.
