Foreign Representatives SMALL, SPENCER, BREWER H (Incorporated) CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON| On Prison Labor In connection with numerous measures now before the legislature to make use of prison labor, it might | be well for the state lawmakers to examine into the situation and to see) what their effect will be, both on/i men in the prison and persons on the outside, if the various ideas are| adopted. The standard for determining what kinds of labor should or should not | be performed in prison is one which is pretty well agreed upon in enlight-| ened states, Because prison labor is| cheap, it is universally recognized as| unfair to put it into competition with the labor of free citizens, This is axiomatic. Another factor is the character of; the industry involved. Those em- ployments which require a great deal of hand labor and where the machine} plays a relatively unimportant part! generally have been regarded as} suitable .to installation in peniten-|sertion that the resignation is an-jof numerous small sections of ob- tiaries. But industries where machines do the vast majority of the work have|ture and its treatment of the uni-|nal incision. no place in the prison scheme of things. The prime object of prison} labor should be to give the men|Kane's incumbency might cause the|reader obtain from this service any something to do and to assist in maintaining the institution. It should not be designed primarily to make} profits. Profit-making industry should | be left to private enterprise—and private payrolls. Canada and the Gold Standard} Considerable speculation is rife as to whether Canada will soon leave! the gold standard and devaulate her| currency to a parity with the pound sterling. Is she to follow British depreciation or cling to her financial relationship with the United States? Canada is essentially British in spirit but her currency is closely tied up with ours. Yet the same influ- | ences that drove South Africa off) gold are now concentrating on Can-j; ada, | Despite the fact that Canadian | money is already selling at a sub- stantial discount in the American market, capital is leaving Canada for | investment in sterling with the ex-| pectation of buying back Canadian} dollars later at a handsome profit. The embarrassment of Canadian railroads, the budget crisis, Premier | Bennett's recent statement that the | limit in taxation has been reached | and much talk of inflation may cause further depreciation. Pressure for inflation from both raw material and manufacturing interests is very strong. Certain advantages would accure to Canada's export sales in our coun- try as they have come to other na- tions with depreciated currencies, long as our tariff walls are not raised to meet these conditions. She would also have a better opportunity to ex- pand within the empire by placing herself on an equal footing with Great Britain and other members of the commonwealth who are off gold. On the other hand, most of her external borrowing has been done in} the United States, all of which is/ payable in gold dollars. The serv- ice charge on this debt alone for the current year amounts to 266 millions, which means that Canadians will think more than twice before they further devaluate their dollar. Should Canads go off gold, our second best customer will doubtless start purchasing from other countries many materials which she has al- ways bought in the United States. She will also seriously disturb nearly 1000 American-owned plants in Canada and s total of close to four billions of United States dollars in- vested in that country, it we have still far more danger to the peace of the world. Leticia and Gran Chaco are local affairs and can be kept so. But Jehol, Manchuria, Peiping and Tient- sin are of international importance. Their invasion by Japan, as indicated 'by military activity and diplomatic pronouncements, easily may touch a match to a real powder keg. Incidentally there now looms on the horizon, as a result of Japan's imminent withdrawal from the League of Nations, more serious com- plications. The only reason Japan has not declared war on China has been the effort to keep face before the world. As long as the League | dilly-dallied Japan was perfectly wil- ling to play the game. But now she realizes that she has nothing more to lose. The civilized nations have declared against her, so why not have the game as well as the name. Recent orders to the Japanese fleet indicate one thing which may hap- pen. An open declaration of war would give Japan the right to block- jade Chinese ports, thus shutting off communication between the celestial republic and the rest of the world. It would give her opportunity to in- vade lower China and make over the Chinese government to suit her own ideas. The Japanese are gambling for huge stakes in this international war game. If she wins the other nations —perhaps all of them—will lose. Dr. Kane Resigns Resignation of Dr. Thomas F, Kane as president of the state university, to take effect in June, brings to mind the several efforts which have been] made in the past to unseat this edu- eator. Whether they were well or ill-advised is not now in question. President Kane has made his own decision, presumably of his own free will. Perhaps he chuckles at the thought for, at the age of 70, he 4s entitled to a pension from the Carnegie Foundation and undoubtedly will take advantage of it. In retirement he.will receive as much as his sue-| cessor in office on the basis of the reduced scale proposed for univer- ;Sity teachers. What could be more ‘TIC REACTION TO|views of leading urologists who have activ in CHARACTERISTIC ae attractive than such retirement to had experience with both the older dissection methods and the electro- ‘surgical method: scholarly ease and comfort. One item in the story which came from Grand Forks telling of the resignation brings an alarming thought, however. That is the as- nounced now in an effort to produce a beneficial effect upon the Icgisla- versity. The inference is that President legislature to be harsh with the in- stitution. Such certainly cannot be the case. Or, if it is the case, it cer- tainly should not be so. ‘The uni-| versity is not operated for the bene-} fit of the professors employed. It} is supported by the people for the} benefit of their children. The stu-| dents and their welfare is the major concern of the taxpayers and the leg-| islature. Personalities should not be permitted to have anything to do with it. It is sincerely to be hoped that the assumption expressed in this news story is unjustified by the facts. Getting to the Point Senator Matthaei’s proposal for a redistribution of the work of the State university and agricultural col- lege strikes at the root of one im- portant problem faced by the state. Everyone agrees that we have too many institutions of higher learning,} but no one seems very definite as to what to do about it. The reason, of course, is political. Each institution is supported by a healthy bloc of votes. They enabled it to be established in the first place. But a revision of the work done at the university and agricultural col- Jege would be a good start toward a sane educational program which the state could afford. If it worked out well it might encourage the state to Proceed further along the road which it must follow in order to reach a satisfactory solution of this s0| Problem, Unless we have a marked increase in population we cannot go ahead under the present system much longer.

Briefly, as one urologist describes it, the procedure consists in the removal structing tissue through the cysto- scope by means of a high-frequency current, thereby obviating any exter- This subject may be of interest to men past middle age. Others should skip it. In no instance can any aid or comfort in the interpreting of symptoms or the diagnosis of pro- static obstruction. All such inquiries or investigations should be left wholly to the individual's personal physician. I have already apologized here, in behalf if without behest of the pro- fession, for the present standard procedure in these cases.

On) the receiving end of the line it is quite as unpleasant to undergo as it is to discuss at the dinner table. Per- sonally I am not at all averse to, having a nice comfy little operation occasionally, say an appendectomy or any little thing like that where one can dicker with the insurance people to fork over the wager in a lump sum. But even as a young man in medicine, and with all my invidious allusions to old fogies, old codgers, old geezers and old timers, I have always regarded the lot of the blad- dery old gentleman with some feel- ing between aversion and smug de- tachment. Now I wonder if a grown- up fellow can get as much quiet amusement watching youth mellow. Yet that is not the reason why I have studiously avoided the subject of this talk all these years. No, I have kept it out of this column be- cause we have all kinds of readers and it is necessary to maintain a Teasonable balance on the eheery side. That's why testimonial writers get short shrift here and symptom hunters find this department barren. Somewhere there may be still liv- ing a subscriber or two who can re- call what a bitter dogged struggle we had in popularizing the diathermy method of dealing with infected or hypertrophied tonsils. The brass throat surgeons and the! used every means and weapon, fair or foul, to defeat us and to destroy those who “promoted” the new- fangled method. But history tells which side was right. Upon the occasion of the formal introduction of the successful adapta- tion of the new method in practice by Dr. John R, Caulk, before the last annual session of the American Medical Association (section on urology), some characteristic com- || ments were made in the open dis- cussion of the method by urologists whose knowledge and experience in the old Spanish methods is exten- sive.

You see, the animals must be sheltered and kept warm during the cold weather. Certain snakes, for instance, require certain temperatures. So the city provides animal houses in Central Park and the Bronx zoos, So the snakes and pumas and leo- pards and such have comfortable headquarters, while humans who might otherwise freeze must share Obvi- ously there was no bread for them. * * # furnished by the Broadway belt. seems that Owney Madden, erstwhile figure in beer and night club and tax difficulties, is not forgotten by the floor show folk who sing, dance and yodel in the Broadway late spots.
