Reasons for Our Policy As has been mentioned before by ‘The Tribune, there seems to be a very close relationship between the thoughts of the “Committee for the Nation,” a group of businessmen in- terested in ending the depression, and the actions of the United States gov- ernment under President Roosevelt. ‘This liason between business and government has been strengthened by developments at the world con- ference in London, since the prest- dent apparently again followed the suggestions of this group in refusing to permit monetary questions in- volving our return to gold to be dis- cussed there, ‘Under date of June 16 the commit- tee advised the president as follows: “We make a fundamental error in taking to a conference in Eur- ope decisions which control the purchasing power of our dollar and thereby the relations of all Americans with each other. In the London conference, we meet a group of nations whose curren- cies are already heavily depre- ciated, united by ® common in- terest in keeping the dollar high. ‘They are represented by profes- sional diplomats of long experi- ence. We meet them, one against many, and at disadvantage. If we are fortunate and well repre- sented, the conference will end in disagreement as to this point. If not, we shall compromise our po- sition with unfortunate, if not disastrous, results.” Detailed and involved arguments were presented in defense of this po- sition,” Now there is some evidence that England has been sold on the ideas of this same group which, presum- ably, represents the more progressive elements in business everywhere. The best proof is the apparent alliance between England and America to de- feat the gold bloc at the conference and continue the policy of raising prices in each country. ‘The possible reasons for this new alignment are indicated in a com- Parison between the economic situa- tions in the two countries, issued at the same time. It deals with wages, ‘unemployment, wholesale commodity Prices and debts as follows: “When compared with pre-war, index numbers of wage rates in England were higher in 1920 than in the United States. Wage rates in England were reduced mate- rially in 1922, and have been fairly stable since that time. In- dex numbers for wage rates in the United States remained high until 1929. They are now about the same in the two countries. ‘Wage rates in the United States in 1932 were 189 when the five years before the war equaled 100. In England they were 193. “It is true that since 1929 a greater reduction has occurred in the United States than in Eng- land, but in 1929 wages in the ‘United States were much higher than in England when both are compared with pre-war. “Unemployment in England has increased slightly in the last two years, indicating that she needs a definite rise in com- modity prices or that the gold content of the pound is too high. In September, 1931, when Eng- land suspended the gold stand- ard, unemployment was about equally severe in the two coun- tries. Since that time, unemploy- ment has more than doubled in the United States. England avoided this catastrophe by re- ducing the gold value of the Pound. To reestablish employ- ment in England requires a rising price level, that is, an even greater reduction of the gold value of the pound than has yet, occurred. “During the war period, whole- sale prices in England rose some- what higher than they did in the United States. When the five- year period before the war is called 100, wholesale prices in England for the 15 years, 1918 to 1932, averaged 159. In the United States they averaged 149. The averages for the last 10 years ‘were 139 for England and 133 for the United States. “Average wholesale commodity Prices for England and the Unit- ed States: England U. 8. 15 years 1918-32.... 159 149 10 years 1923-32.... 139 133 5 years 1928-32. 120 122 “The public debt in the United Kingdom is considerably greater han the national debt in the United States, although popula- tion and wealth are much less than in the United States. To make debts and taxes bearable, England requires a much greater rise in prices than has occurred. “Each country should revalue its currency on such a basis as to restore the balance in its in- _ ternal price, tax, and debt struc- ture, and enough to start employ- ment. No international consid- erations should be allowed to in- terfere with this procedure, If each country proceeds in this manner, international relation- ships will automatically be brought into reasonably close ad- justment. “The United States should re- value the dollar at a level which is best for our internal affairs. Other countries should revalue according to their internal con- ditions, but our policies should not be affected by what other countries do. “Any temporary advantage or disadvantage in world trade is a minor matter compared with in- ternal problems. “For example, if the United States raises the price of gold by 75 per cent or reduces the gold content of the dollar by about 43 per cent, it would be desirable to have Canadian and American dollars identical, and have the English pound somewhere near its old value, which could be ac- complished if England reduces the gold content of the pound by one-half. But it is not our prob- lem to tell these countries what to do. It is our problem ‘to see to it that our procedure is a wise one and that these countries do not determine our policy.” The Corn Is Good Reports from the southern part of North Dakota indicate that the wheat crop is in very poor condition in many areas but in the same districts the corn is good and, with a fair amount of rain, will make a good yield. = * No one, of course, could anticipate the record heat of June with its long succession of hot days and the disas- trous effect on small grains. Neither could we expect that there would be a rainfall deficiency of moré than two inches at this stage of the grow- ing season. Yet, the fact that corn will make a crop in the face of ad- verse conditions is worthy of more than casual note. It proves that in poor years corn is a better crop for this section of the state than wheat. The trend toward corn should be stimulated by the fact that rainfall in this district has shown a continu- ous decline in recent years. It may be that we should count on less in the future than the average of the past, making preparations to meet the conditions which thus develop. In such a program corn would play an important part. The fact that wheat does better on land used for corn the previous year also should be a factor in chang- ing the trend of fagming operations. Hand Set Telephones Announcement by the state rail- road board that several North Da- kota telephone companies are elimi- nating special charges for hand sets or French telephones and that others ‘are to follow is welcome news to users of this service in North Da- kota. Most companies have been making an extra monthly charge for this convenience because of the fact that royalties were charged for the use of the invention. e Now, however, they are being pro- duced in such volume that payment of an extra charge over a period of a few years takes cara of this extra cost. Bismarck is not included in the cities which receive the benefit of this reduction but it is to be hoped that a similar-change will be made here in the near future. Editorial Comment Editorials printed below slow the trend of thought by other editors, They are published without regard to whether they agree or disagree with The Tribune's policie: Save the Schools (New York World-Telegram) ‘The National Education association has just issued a report describing the effects of the depression on the American public school system, Returns from 42 states indicate that 2,269 schools in 11 states were ‘closed before March 1 of this year; many of them had no prospects of Teopening this fall; approximately 100 city school systems reduced their terms this year by 20 or more days; many more rural schools shortened their terms by 30 or more days. In 1926 the United States spent $2,026,308,190 to educate 24,741,368 children in public schools. This year it is spending $1,961,900,000 to edu- cate 26,526,700 pupils. Before 1930 we were spending about $400,000,000 annually for school build- ings, sites and equipment. This year we are spending $154,000,000. With building virtually suspended it is estimated that 250,000 children are attending school on a part-time basis and 150,000 are being housed in temporary or portable shacks. There has been delay in building 4,000 needed rural school buildings, and about 18,000 rural school dis- tricts are failing to make necessary repairs. The sale of textbooks has dropped 30 per cent since 1930, and some 17,000 rural schools are operating with im- proper equipment. In 50 per cent of city schools edu- cational services have been curtailed. Such services as health, music, art, manual training, physical instruction and home economics are suffering most. Night schools, Americaniza- tion classes and kindergartens have been heavily hit. The federal government is making available to states, cities and rural communities some $2,000,000,000 in loans for public works.

Address Dr. William Brady, CLASS A NEUROTICS GET A BREAK Some “nervous” folk belong in Class A—they are just too dumb to com- prehend or to find out what really ails them. The rest are in Class B— sheer nervous imposters. If you're a neurotic or a neurasthenic or ner- vous wreck, decide for yourself whether you rate an A or B. I'll never tell you. Today Class A neurotics get a break. I'm going to give a prescription for what ails at least a few of them. Mind now, simple souls, I am not offering @ nerve tonic nor a remedy for bad nerves. I am giving simply a good home remedy for a condition which really accounts for the ill health some simple souls ascribe to “nervous trouble.” Don’t lose sight of the fact I have so often tried to impress upon you—that in reality there is no such thing as nervous exhaustion or nerv- ous breakdown or worn nerves. The condition that accounts for the ill health of certain persons who as- sume they are suffering from “nerves” is anemia,. a deficiency of the hemo- globin in the blood. The hemoglobin is the substance which imparts red color to the blood; it is similar to the chlorophyl which imparts green color to plants. But the importance of hemoglobin is not merely that it makes the blood red, but its function in the body. Its function is to carry oxygen to the tissues or cells of the body and to carry back to the lungs the carbon dioxide which these tis- sues or cells constantly give off as long as life lasts. ‘The remedy I suggest for this ane- mia is reduced iron. This is a light, tasteless powder, soft to the touch, iron-gray in color. If it is black it it not good. It is best taken in cap- sules, and an adequate dose is 15 grains of the reduced iron, after food, three times a day, over a period of two months or more. That's a lot of iron. Nearly as much in a day as the blood of a strong man contains. But I say that is the adequate dose, and any less is inade- quate. Of course iron darkens or blackens the dejecta. But this form of iron neither injures the teeth nor causes constipation. That's all there is. If any neurotic writes in for further guaranties or special advice about the medicine, or if anybody else wants to know whether it would be good for paralysis or liver complaint, I'm going to be so dumb that you'll be sorry for me. Makes me just about wild when- PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE By William Brady, M. D.

(Copyright 1933, John F. Dille Co.) New York, “July 12.—Little more than a month ago an entrepreneur named Bill Lewis was watching the gyrations of Central Park roller skat- ers and remarking that fads certainly did run in cycles. First thing you know, he said, people would be going back to bikes. Pondering the thought further, Mr. Lewis recalled that Hollywood was al- ready a’wheel . . . Broadway show folk probably would take up the sport ... And here was Central Park, play- ground of hundreds of cyclists a couple of generations ago. Convinced now that Opportunity was offering him a ride on the handle- bars, Lewis dashed over to Columbus Circle, rented a store and ordered 50 assorted bicycles. He hung up a sign announcing that this was “The Bicycle Club,” fitted out a dozen tastefully appointed dressing rooms, complete even to steres of linament, adhesive tape and iodine, and hired three instructors. One of the latter is Frank Keene, a trainer of six-day bike racers. Another is a veteran of | DO YOU KNOW HIM?

V. Young, who once pedaled 26 hours in a race to Boston against a Ttelay of twelve horses. Socialites and Broadway people began coming to the place, and now the regular in- clude Helén Morgan, Ethel Merman, Lou Holtz, Ruth Etting, Ted Lewis, Jack Benny, Gracie Allen, Lita Gray Chaplin and Frances Williams. Jack Dempsey and Hannah Williams ride together too. There are all kinds of bikes—low racers, a tandem, some English mod- els, and @ couple of diminutive ones used by a couple of 7-year-old twins from Park avenue. Nearly all of the women patrons change to shorts and dash away on men’s wheels. Habitues of the gay-way come early in the morning to work off hang-overs, and sometimes appear in the evenings to settle speed wagers made in speal easies. Lewis always tells them stern- ly that bars and handlebars are in- compatible. Most proficient of his customers is Gracie Allen, who isn’t a bit dizzy when she gets on wheels. She’s look- ing for a bet that she can’t sit on the handlebars and ride clear around the park without a tumble. Lou Holtz 4s pretty good at tricks, too, but most- ly likes to rent a racer and see how fast he can go. Mrs. Muriel Evans II and Mrs. Bedell Harned are the Social Register's best cyclists. They and one evening started out bravely for New Haven, Conn. Three hours later, though, Lewis had a phone call for them. Seems they'd found rough going in the upper reaches of. Harlem, had stopped off at the Cotton Club, and were sending the wheel back by a bewildered taxi driver. #-% % é CASUALTIES ON SKATES The skating fad rolls on unabaied, but not unabetted by lithe-limbed stage and society beauties.
