The Cat Jumps Out The history of American agricul- ture shows that the farmer has been betrayed, more often than not, by his so-called friends. This fact is recalled by the charge Monday of Milo Reno that President Roosevelt has “betrayed” agriculture and that the remedy will be a third party political movement. By these words, Reno both brands himself and lets the cat come leap- ing out of the bag. By attacking the president unfairly he proves his own caliber, By his reference to a third party he gives proof of the fact that much of the agitation which he and his associates have fomented has been political in its nature and aimed toward political ends. «087.20 120 seems probable we will, the most imperialistic of nations a century and a half ago, Have You a Devil? Discussing widely held theories on economics, Secretary of Agriculture Wallace says there are two leading modes of thought, both wrong and both bad for the country. The first he terms the “Aladdin = |School” whose advocates believe that all ills can be cured by rubbing a magic governmental lamp. The sec- ond is the “Personal Devil” group, which, when something goes wrong, looks for some one or something to blame. ‘His illuminating comment follows: “Millions believe that when prices go down, the matter may be fixed by shouting in a loud tone of voice at Wall Street, or the Chicago Board of Trade, Other millions believe in govern- ment price fixing. They say the government is all powerful and that by a simple wave of a magic wand, cotton prices may be changed overnight from 10c to 20c a pound. This Aladdin School of economics is still the most Popular in the United States. “Still others think that if the government would only enter in- to agreements and licenses with the packers, the milk dealers, the cotton spinners, and others, it would be possible to give the farmers much higher prices on the one hand and the consumers much lower on the other. These People hold to the Personal Devil school of economics, visioning the manufacturer and the mid- | diemen as terrible beings with long horns and tails, rampaging we shall prove that our Republic is a little less than half as hidebound as was This fact, alone, should give think- ei teabyour” ie anette Lave sunset ar nats Wallace's own ‘ideas savor only ai It ral America a system of slightly of either theory.

When the Hoover administration Jaunched the farm board there were! many who did not agree with the principle. Yet the farm board was permitted to work out its own fate- ful destiny as it had every right to do. Now, Reno and some of his ilk would apply some of the principles which the farm board’s experiment Proved to be unsound. They would attempt to manage prices; ignore the surplus of farm products which bears prices down. If the government follows the pro- gram which it recommended to con- gress and which was adopted, the re- sult is uncertain. Even the most ardent advocates of the plan will ad- mit that, because the problem is so: vast and so many things can hap- pen that success is difficult to achieve. We who live in the farming country should keep that in mind Jest, in the event of complete or Partial failure, we be too bitterly dis- appointed. But if the leadership of Reno and the bankers, “you must restore public The secretary proves himself a man of fighting heart when he at- tempts to divorce members of either school from their pet folbles and pre- Judices but in the interests of hon- esty, progress and good citizenship it is sincerely to be hoped that he succeeds. Advice to Bankers Newspaper reporters don't often Get the chance to advise bankers on the proper banking policy. But this is precisely what happened at the recent convention of the Investment Bankers at Hot Springs, Va,‘ A number of metropolitan financial writers were invited to speak, and they lost little time in telling the bankers that their main job right now is to restore public confidence. In the past, they pointed out, bank- ers have not been entirely frank with the public. Today, as a result, the Public's confidence in investment bankers is one of those things you hear about, but never see. “Before you can hope to persuade congress to do the things you know Ought to be done,” one writer told confidence in investment banking. his ilk is accepted, the result is not accepted we are headed for complete iis tl seg ipieinesnlgtes oa cheer a i le things done by some members of pn theee Sime, and under the ter- a Congas in the street rific pressure which is exerted upon i ea Sey a an a Sere doubtless will say a hearty “Amen. whelming urge to “do something,” to|[ = seek quick action.

It fe needless to say that the record of his transactions, now4made » has brought astonishment and to all friends and former admirers. But Governor Herring of Iowa reports that some of the violence in his own state was committed by “radicals from Sioux City.” The inference is plain enough. Be- cause agriculture is in distress, rad- ical and subversive elements are seeking to stir up the farmers in the hope they will befoul their own nests, hoping that the result will be to discredit the government; turn. the people toward their way of thinking; put them in the saddle. With The Tribune's policies. ‘An Enemy Hath Not Done This’ (New York Times) It was once remarked that American banking has little to fear from its enemies but has much reason to dread. what is done by some of its friends. Recent disclosures about the Chase bank and its affiliates during the per- tod of mad speculation certainly give fresh point to this observation.

AS MEDICINE BEER IS RATHER) FLAT I claim this 3.2 per cent beer is in-j toxicating. My husband claims it is; not. He has never drunk beer nor; ‘any other kind of liquor. I am 34 years old, weigh only 98 pounds and have a leaky heart valve. The least fright or shock of any kind sets my} heart pounding and makes me short | of breath. My family.and friends all drink a good deal of beer and are all overweight. They claim my husband and myself should drink it. They say it is as good as any tonic and would help me gain more weight. They also claim it is not intoxicating. How do you think it would act on my heart? My husband is a very hard worker and he also is a little underweight. If you think beer would be good for us, that is, if it is not intoxicating... (Mrs. M. L. E.) The question whether beer is in- toxicating is not susceptible of a defi-| nite answer. Depends on who is drinking it, how much he drinks, and what we regard as intoxication. There is no legal or generally accepted defi- nition of intoxication, so far as I can learn. Therefore it is a matter of individual opinion. In my opinion beer is intoxicating. I regard anyone as intoxicated when I can detect the odor of alcohol on his breath. That is fairly good evidence, I think, that! the individual has consumed more al- cohol than he can oxidize or burn and utilize as food or fuel. Another sign of intoxication, in my; judgment, is the way people who are under the influence of alcohol insist that it is good for all and sundry, that it is “tonic”, “strengthening”, nourishing, warming, ocr cheer- ing, consoling, or what w you. According to a chemical analysis of beer made in the pre-war time when beer was not restricted as to alcoholic content, @ good grade of beer has the following nutritive value: Water, 90 per cent, alcohol 3.75 per cent, carbohydrate (sugar) 5 per cent, nitrogenous matter (protein) 0.5 per cent, and mineral matter 0.20 per cent. If we assume all the alcohol in such beer is actually oxidized and utilized | as food or fuel in the body, the total amount to 130, in the pint of beer, which added to the calories from the sugar and protein in the beer would give a grand total of about two-thirds of the calories you get from a pint of milk, and no question about utilizing every nutritive element in milk. A Pint of milk yields 325 calories. Now that beer and wine are legal beverages I see no objection to any adult drinking them. But the efforts PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE | By William Brady, M. D.
