(Official , State and County Newspaper) Foreign Representatives SMALL, SPENCER, BREWER (Incorporated) CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON Hoover vs. Garner It begins to appear that the con- | troversy between President Hoover | and Speaker Garner over the relief | bill will become a major issue in the | coming presidential election and both men appear content to have it so. The basis for the disagreement {s simple enough. Garner asserts that his stand is one based on principle. Hoover contends that his is the only practicable method of making the same principle effective. Both men claim to be seeking the same thing, which js easier credit and improved business for the country. They are agreed that further gov- ernmental efforts to extend relief to the country can best be accomplished by broadening the functions and in- creasing the capital of the Recon-} struetion Finance Corporation, the two-billion dollar baby born at the be- ginning of the present congressional session. They are agreed as to how much the capital should be expanded. The question of how the Reconstruc- tion Finance Corporation shall go about the business of relief is the sticking point. When this lusty infant was brought into being, the law specified to whom it should loan money. Briefly, the list includes banks, railroads, insurance companies and other similar institu-| tions. Hoover would stick to those limitations in handling the additional two billion dollars now in prospect. He contends that this is the only practicable way and that, by benefit- ing these institutions, the people gen- erally are aided. Garner contends that this list con- stitutes a selected clientele which the president is willing to help to the ex- clusion of individuals and of other business. He wants the law govern- ing the Reconstruction Finance Cor- poration revised to permit loans to any person or firm offering adequate security. As a precedent, he cites the War Finance Corporation, which op- erated under the Wilson administra- tion and which was authorized to loan money where it saw fit. The Hoover argument is that, by bolstering major business enterprises, the credit and financial structure of the nation benefit of all. Garner argues that relief, applied at the top, doesn’t trickle through to the lower strata; that many sound businesses and individuals with ade- quate security cannot now borrow money because the credit stringency continues unabated. He would in-/ clude minor with major business in distributing benefits under the bill, contending that the ‘money, after all, is the people's money, and that the people should share directly in the, benefits. It is a real argument and one on which neither man seems disposed to yield, although the president can have his way by vetoing the bill and forc- ing congress to write a new one. The final decision, however, will be deferred until November when a jury of some 40,000,000 persons will report its findings on this and numerous other issues via the ballot box. The Lausanne Agreement It was cheering news which came from the session of European powers at Lausanne. The new agreement on debts and reparations will make it Possible for business to thrive again in Europe and it appears that some of the political bars were torn down as each nation conceded something toward > solution of the common crisis. From the American standpoint, however, the agreement will not be received with unmitigated pleasure. ‘The reason for this is the provision in the new pact which makes it some- ‘what dependent upon revision or can- cellation of the war debts by the United States. ‘This should not be the case and, in the interests of peace and a proper basis of world relationships, it is to he hoped that the United States will not release her claim to payment of the amounts due her. Adjustments in the manner and fime of payment may and probably is strengthened to thej out of the question. It would not be though the latter will press strongly for it. The background of the Lausanne pact seems to indicate a desire on the part of Europe that the United States pay for the World war. Without reviving the question of “who won the war” it can be said without controversy that America con- tributed largely to victory. The two 20/ million men which we sent to the ifront in France, plus the industrial |resources of this nation, were enough to swing the tide in favor of the al- lies. All we got out of the war was the loss of 55,000 men, the expenditure of billions of dollars on our own army and the now doubtful satisfaction of 00 |making the world “safe for democ- racy.” When the peace treaty was signed jat Versailles, the United States asked and got nothing. The other nations got substantial grants of land and billions in indemnity already have been paid. The history of the war shows that we had no part in starting it—our participation came at the finish and at a time when it appeared that the allies would be defeated. In addition to the money which they borrowed, France, England, Italy, et al., owe the United States a debt of gratitude. That they have asked for cancella- tion at all comes from them with poor grace. After all, it was their war, not ours. Before the United States listens to any plea for revision or cancellation, it might make pointed inquiry as to how Europe can maintain the heav- iest armament in history. If they cannot pay their just debts now, Euro- Pean nations could dogso by scaling down their expenditures in prepara- tion for the next war. Until those expenditures are greatly reduced and there is proof that Europe's swords are being beaten into plowshares, the people of the United States will not turn heedful ear to Europe's cry of poverty. It is too much like a man riding up in a Rolls Royce, piloted by a uniformed chauffeur, to ask for a crust of bread. Europe feels it can bamboozle Amer- ica into playing Santa Claus some more and thereby giving our erst- while allies opportunity to repair to their secret chambers and laugh up their sleeves. If the foreign powers feel that way we should not be insulted. The his- tory of the recent past justifies their attitude, for our diplomacy has been of a sort to win nothing but contempt {from nations which can maintain (huge armies and navies and, at the same time, plead for disarmament. The whole thing is a _ ghastly joke and a satire upon the fine Uto- pianism which America has displayed, | but that is no reason why America {should continue to blind herself to the real facts, It would seem that we should in- sist on payment in the interests of Peace, even though all Europe shouts “Shylock” at us. The easier we make it for them to escape the burden of the last war the {more anxious will they be to start the ‘next. And the sooner we yield to their importunities, if at all, the | Sooner the next big war will come. Then, too, irrespective of all ques- tions of justice, there is that of ability to pay. America is not an inexhausti- ble gold mine, as all of us well know. Not only is it unfair for Europe to ask us to pay for the World war but it is practically an impossibility for us to do it. Editorial Comment Editorials printed below show the trend of thought by other editors, They are published without regard to whether they agree or disagree with The Tribune's policies, “Sell Now,” Not “Buy Now” (Duluth Herald) Dr. Julius Klein, assistant secretary of commerce, uttered these words of wisdom in a recent radio address: It is up to American distributors to execute a “sell now” campaign and not wait for their customers to get into a “buy now” frame of mind. Not only is that true, but in every city there are enterprising merchants who are proving that it is true by ap- plying it. ‘There are also in every city mer- chants who sit and wait for business to come back. Can there be any doubt about which type of merchant is most likely to Survive this trying time? It isn't mere theory that the mer- chant who goes out after business will get it. Merchants ARE going out after business, and they ARE getting it. There are some facts about the Present situation which some people who should know better seem to have forgotten. One of them is that at least five- sixths of the earners are still at work of them have had their incomes ye- duced, few of them have been cut more than the percentage of the re- duction in the cost of living. So that the incomes of five-sixths of the earn- ers, measured in buying power, are still unimpaired. If many of them hesitate to buy, that is @ product of the current trend should be made, but cancellation is fair to the taxpayers of this country or to the Europeans themselves, even The plain fact seems to be that THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, MONDAY, JULY 11, 1932 - | ‘Having F-F-Fine T-T-Time!

MEETING ADJOURNED TO THE HAW HAW CORNER This is indeed a rare summer day. | A number of bowlers throwing their! weight about the green. So instead | of holding our regular school session today, children, we are going to ad- journ to the haw haw corner where a guest instructor will entertain you for a while. Now listen: Dear Doctor: When the discussion on skin absorption came up previously I fully intended writing—now at this revival of the topic I cannot resist. I had always understood that the skin did not absorb anything until a beauty parlor expert (Note by Ed.—Beauty parlor experts are a degree higher than barber shop sages and their customers a shade more credulous) told me to make up a mixture of one-third castor oil, one-third olive oil and one- third so-and-so’s mange cure as a scalp treatment for dandruff. This I did and after rubbing it on my head I noticed a violent purga- tion. d This I ascribed to something I had eaten. But later when I again saw the beauty parlor expert I commented on the mixture as a dandruff remedy, and she warned me that too much of it rubbed on the head would cause purgation. Then I told her of my experience and she laughingly said it is a pleasant way to take castor oil. I have passed the suggestion on to several friends (among them two trained nurses), and each of them had the same impression, that the skin will not absorb any- thing. However, after one of two applications to their scalps they all agreed it could be nothing but the castor oil so absorbed. The proportions used in the mixture are about two ounces of | each, but that quantity serves for | months of treatment, and only the ordinary few drops one ap- plies to the scalp where there is to be no shampoo to follow, is sufficient to produce the purga- tion. Of course the small quan- tity remains several days on the scalp. | At any rate I am personally sold on the idea that the skin does absorb. It is certain that castor oil will produce its characteristic purgative effect when rubbed on the unbroken skin of the head. Yours truly, | E———_- P. | In some of our older textbooks we | find the bald assertion that castor oil | will sometimes have a purgative ac- | tion when rubbed on the “abdomen” ;of young children. But these ancient medical tomes are stuffed with a lot \of hooey. That's why medical or “doc- | tor” books published more than 10 | years ago are dangerous for the un- | sophisticated layman to delve in, and misleading even for the trained med- | | ical reader. Among old-fashioned nurses the |conviction still prevails that a feeble jinfant may be nourished and | strengthened by cod liver oil or even | olive oil (sweet oil) rubbed on the in- fant’s skin regularly. It is not im- plausible that some vitaminous influ- ence may be imparted to the body by such application of cod liver oil. It lis sheer absurdity to imagine the baby can be nourished through the jskin. The advantage the feeble in- |fant derives from daily oil baths or jTubs is mainly the protection and ; Warmth given by oil. | A few drops of fresh castor oil may | be added to alcoholic lotions for the | scalp, when one desires to prevent the excessive dryness which such lotions may cause.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Calcium for Colic Some time ago you described a dis- covery of some medical scientists that} back some $7,000. colic could be quickly relieved by the injection of some calcium compound into the veins. Would you be good enough to give us the reference to this?—(J. W. Co.) Answer—Drs. Bauer, Salter and Aub, Boston, found that the’ very slow injection into a vein of 20 c.c. of a serile 5 per cent solution of calcium chloride promptly relieves the severe pain of colic, be it lead colic or colic from gallstones or renal colic. They caution that not more than 2 c.c. of! the solution (approximately half a teaspoonful) per minute be given, Food Thrown Away For a year I have been almost an absolute vegetarian—I eat fish, once a week.

Today no marquee ballyhoo is com- plete without a few mechanical fig- ures. Such eye-catching devices are often quite as costly as the attraction itself. To be sure, the costs have been cut to meet the depressional times. At the moment lions lick their | chops and alligators bare their teeth —all for $6,000. | But “Noah’s Ark,” which set the! styles, ran up to $50,000. Flames belched and electric waters flowed. A special steam plant was installed to} produce an imitation of smoke. One of the more venerable jokes of | the street originated with this dis- play.

But I can't leave Dan. You can get someone else. There are plenty of people. Why don’t you go yourself?” “How can I get away?” “It might be good for you. You and Mother haven't had a trip to- gether for years. You're the one who should go with her.” But her father shook his head. “I'd never be able to leave now,” he told her, “I have to think of business.” eee VES: DIXON next day added her apyeals to her husband’s and tried to persuade Cherry to come away with her. It was no use. The girl was firm. She also told her mother sho had decided against or- dering the dresses at Madelaine's. “What I have will do for the places I'm going to wear them,” Cherry said. “And I couldn't take the things without letting Dan know about it.” “Then I muc: say I think you're being down right stubborn!” Cherry laughed. “Call it that it you want to but let’s not quarrel about it. By the way, that’s a love- ly dressing gown you're wearing. Did Madelaine make that?” The trip to the Massachusetts re- sort was not definitely settled upon for several days, Then with char- acteristic abruptness Walter Dixon decided he would accompany his wite and that they would depart the next week. Cherry was pleased. The decision eased ter mind about her mother’s health and it also settled problems that had been bothering her. The three or four hours she had been spending every day at her parents’ home cut ‘into her schedule. Each day ended with many things un- done and the tasks had piled up rather alarmingly. Then, too, she was learning it is not easy to di- vide your time, spending half of it amid luxurious surroundings and half counting pennies. In spite of what her father and mother might say Cherry knew they disapproved of Dan. Though he inquired solicttously about her mother's health she knew Dan was aware of this disapproval. Yes, Cherry would be glad when she could settle down to her own life, Back in her mind there was the vague fear she would not ad- mit even to herself—the fear that, ever so slightly, she and Dan might be drifting apart.

Both of her arms weré filled with bundles. She was conscious that she must be very careful of the dishes. Her nose and cheeks were glistening, her hat pushed awry. The dress that had: been fresh when she left home was tumpled and soiled now. She was tempted to stop in a drug store for a soda but the bun- dles dissuaded her. “If I put them down,” she told herself, “I'll never be able to man- age them again.” She was on her way to the car “Why, Gretchen, hello!” “Cherry Dixon! Oh, excuse me— I keep forgetting you're married. Phillips, isn’t it? What on earth have you been doing? My dear, I didn’t know you! All those pack- ages—!" Cherry's cheeks had been hot be fore.

She was dressed in silk the color of creme de menthe. Her hat and san- dals matched exactly. Not a single strand of her lovely golden hair was out of place. “Frightful, isn’t 1t?” she asked.

They were finishing the last of them when there was a knock at the door. “T'll answer,” Cherry said. She crossed the room and opened the door. A moment later she cried, “Why, Father—!”" (To Be Continued) “No "call you Nic NACRRNRG name ceamten ees on Z als Pais A al vale ae r4 t a x
