Hard-Boiled Diplomacy America was treated to a new style of international diplomacy Monday when President Roosevelt told the world economic conference that he would not consider any efforts to Stabilize currencies at this time. This bold and forthright action puts the next move up to the Euro- pean gold-bloc nations which have been attempting to rescue their cur- rencies through the medium of the economic conference. It answered their threats that they would not play, except upon their own terms, with a counter-statement that their terms are definitely rejected. By this means the issue is directly joined and we soon shall see whether the high protestations made at the opening of this world gathering were expressions from the heart or merely words. President Roosevelt's declaration was the hardest-boiled piece of statesmanship by an American leader in many years. It is almost impos- sible to remember when anything so truculent in tone has been addressed ‘by any representative of this govern- ment to any forelgn power. If this world conference is really an inter- national poker game, as frequently has been suggested, America called the bet of France and her allies in no uncertain terms. We shall now see who, if anyone, was bluffing. ee % If this action by President Roose- velt means @ show-down it is just as, ‘well. His is unquestionably the best hand. America entered the confer- armament. Several years ago there was a simi- lar disarmament meeting in London. America's delegates gave in to Brit- ish and French pressure, announcing the subsequent agreement as a vic- tory for our diplomacy when it really was a defeat. ee Now we go to London and find that the first question is whether we are going to yield up another slice of good American ham in return for the kind of good will which has re- sulted in debt repudiation and thinly veiled sneers. It was not surprising that our friends overseas expected Uncle Sam to be the same old Santa Claus. He always had been, hadn’t he? Imagine their chagrin when the saintly old gentleman suddenly changes character and roars “No” through his whiskers, at the same time baring his teeth in order to show that they are long and strong. To France it is a good deal like Liza, standing in the middle of an ice cake, turning suddenly to give the bloodhounds a sound thrashing with a blacksnake whip. For there were no soft words in President Roosevelt's message, nothing to mi- tigate the force of his antagonism to the gold bloc idea. When the worm of American di- plomacy did turn, it turned com- pletely over. ee If the conference is to crash on the currency rock we lost nothing. It was only a little one, relatively, and if it were enough to cause the gold- bloc nations to pack up and go home there was little to be gained in tackling bigger and more important Problems with the participants at the conference in that frame of mind. The show-down had to come sooner’ or later. We will save time, patience and money because it has come now. Either the conference will disband or it will really get down to work and do something, leaving currency con- siderations for a later date. 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, Roosevelt and the Dollar (Minneapolis Tribune) Whether the world conference will survive the emphatic message deliv- ered it by President Roosevelt yese terday can only be guessed at. In its positive rejection of the vague Proposals to anchor the dollar for the time being, the President’s mes- sage made no effort to concede any- thing to the harrassed gold standard countries. They are left no ground on which to work out of their isolated Position without abandoning definite- ly all efforts to strike any kind of a ence with the deck stacked in its fa- vor. Most of the economic and fi- nancial factors support the American stand. Recent developments in Eur- ope give us about an even break in the politics. The president, there- fore, is holding four aces against a tather disreputable collection of deuces on the part of France and her allies. Our Gallic brothers say their stand ‘ft London is dictated by a deter- mination to remain on the gold standard. If they had said “hope” rather than determination, the dec- laration could be taken at face value. If the United States persists in its course, regardless of the outcome of this meeting of world powers, the gold-standard is doomed in France ‘and every other nation. The reason for this is simple enough. The vagaries of foreign’ exchange are such that pressure may be exerted against the currency of ‘ny nation. Whenever it becomes profitable to do so this pressure is brought to bear. It is becoming profitable, by reason of the rapid fluctuations, to turn French francs into gold. The more francs are sold the more profitable it becomes to sell them, because the desire to sell exceeds the desire to purchase. Eventually France will find herself called on to deliver more, gold than she has. When that time comes, France abandons the gold standard. The same system was worked Bgainst American currency less than ® year ago, at the time when Ex- President Hoover later declared we ‘were within 10 days of going off the gold standard. France was largely responsible for the exercise of that Pressure. Now the shoe is on the other foot and it is pinching terribly. She can take it or leave it, but we ere going to make no sacrifices to) keep her on the gold standard when we have abandoned it ourselves, vol- untarily and blithely. ee At most of the important world gatherings which the United States thas attended, we have played the part of Santa Claus. It does us no) harm to recognize that fact. ‘When the powers gathered at Ver- sailles after the World war, President ‘Wilson concentrated on making the world “safe for democracy.” France ‘and the other victorious nations con- centrated on reparations and the ac- quisition of Germany’s colonies. Now ; We find democracy in as much peril ‘@s ever while we hold the bag for |the war debts as the indirect result ;9f the reparation arrangement. ; In 1922 we had a naval disarma- ; ment meeting at Washington. bombers. rest Ina | Grandiloquent gesture, we agreed to eink several battleships then build- ‘dng and did make them targets for ot the World applauded, temporary balance between the dol- Jar, the pound and the franc. Wheth- er they are willing to pay the price President Roosevelt has set for stay- ing in the conference depends entire- ly on how important they consider the conference to be in furthering their own national plans. If the previous statements made by these gold nations mean anything, it is difficult to understand how they will justify yielding to President Roosevelt's demands. But by means of his message President Roosevelt has virtually suceeded in making the gold bloc seem the villain by accusing the nations which comprise it of at- tempting to divert the conference from its real objectives In so doing he has, perhaps, jeopardized the pos- sibilities of international agreement, but that is an eventuality which he must have considered before he spoke. He has stated his position and it is now for the conference to either take it or leave it. Without attempting for the mo- ment to pass judgment on the validity of that position, its emphatic nature is an indication of the manner in ‘which our official attitude toward the conference has been shifting under the pressure of circumstances. Not More than six weeks ago the Presi- dent was not loath ‘o suggest that Some agreement between the major nations of the world at the London conference was imperative to the well being of the peoples of the world. To- day, however, we are apparently will- ing to gamble whatever the confer- ence may mean to mantain inviolate our own national plans. President Roosevelt must be satisfied that America can go forward to prosperity whether Europe likes the way we pro- pose to get there or not. Once do- mestic plans between several nations conflicted as sharply as they have in the last few days, it was inevitable that the vague claims of interna- tionalism would be abandoned. That is the inconsistency that inheres in a world congress which attempts to leg- islate plans for sovereign states. Since the domestic plans now tak- ing shape at Washington had almost nothing to gain from immediate sta- ‘bilization of the dollar, it was almost impossibl for the President to have spoken otherwise. Immediate sta- bilization, in fact, might have given those plans a setback since the ad- ministration presupposes currency fluctuation for its success. As far as public opinion in this coun- try is concerned, the bulk of it will undoubtedly uphold the President. To America, President Roosevelt's message will not appear as an inivta- tion to adjourn but rather a challenge to the conference to return to a con- sideration of those fundamental eco- nomic ills of which unstable curren- cies are only an outward sign and for the mending of which the conference was called. Whether the objecting nations are able to see that challenge is something which immediate cir- cumstances should lead one to doubt. If they do not, the President is ready to watch them stew in their own broth, When pins were invented in the 14th century, they were so expensive that it was the custom to give a per- son a sum of money to be used as “pin money”; hence the term. ‘The human population of the world 4s now 1,700,000,000 and is increasing about 1 percents year, . but sacrificed nothing in the way of THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, WEDNESDAY, JULY 5, 1938 Because Some Driver Was in a Hurry apple and raspberries for dessert; she never eats anything for dessert but fruit in hot weather.

JUST ANOTHER TESTIMONIAL ABOUT CHRONIC RHEUMATIZ More than one bright young woman has written to remonstrate with me when I say diet has nothing to do with acne (pimples and blackheads). ‘These bright ones have noticed that they sometimes have a fresh out- break of the skin trouble after over- indulgence in candy or other sweets or pastry (it seems fats or greasy things are to blame for the trouble too). A mere doctor with experience knows better than to dare to dispute @ young woman’s intuition, but one can’t help wondering how or why the two million other girls who like to gorge on sweets now and then man- age to escape the dire consequences. Today I received this interesting, er, testimonial from a reader: Dear Doctor: Your article... a little over two years ago suggested parathy- roid for chronic arthritis defor- mans. For eighteen months I have been receiving the Collip Parathyroid preparation (Lily) along with rather large doses of calcium lactate, calcium lacto- Phosphate or, more recently, cal- cium gluconate. Without exaggeration some forty or more good doctors had abandoned my case. My general condition was beyond description. Now all the pain has gone, swell- ings have disappeared, the red shiny condition of the skin has returned to normal, fingernails and toenails are growing in, and a kind of infection of the nail roots has cleared up in the past two or three months. Even some of the major de- formities have gradually straight- ened out. The cataracts in my eyes, however, have not appar- ently improved. ++. By the way, this handicap has kept me confined to bed for Seven years, Hardly any move- ment of joints and practically no vision. During the past four years I have built up a nice little business as a agent. This has made me entirely self-sup- Porting. It’s not such a bad old life after all... That final remark is a great ser- mon for many valetudinarians whose Sreatest worrles are about things that never happen. The remarkable benefit obtained from parathyroid injections in cases of progressive disabling. arthritis was reported first by some French phy- sicians about four years ago, and re- ferred to in this column. The parathyroid gland (a ductless gland) has some important influence upon the metabolism or utilization of, calcium in the body.

But eating through one, or under one, is something else again, as both Ellery Queen and Barnaby Ross, noted my- stery story men, found out. Guests at the Authors’ Epicure {Club at the Duane Hotel, both these gentlemen arrived en mask. A wag among the other guests thought he would pull a neat trick on them so en route to the luncheon bought 23 other black masks, for the other guests. Unfortunately he was an ab- sent-minded gentleman and by mis- take left them in his taxi. So only the two mystery writers sat down to lunch in masks.
