Men and Affairs ‘The effect which a strong man can Shave on the public mind is demon- strated by the ascension to power in France of Gaston Doumergue, an old warhorse in our sister republic who thought his active days were over. A man of outstanding ability, the French had heaped him with honors. He had served in many important posts and a close had been brought to his career when he stepped down from the presidency. Not a rich man, he retired to his farm home and there remained. About a year ago, he became the beneficiary of a windfall when he was appointed a director of the Suez Canal corporation, a job which does not require much work and which paid him about $20,000 a year. Past 70, he looked forward to spending the remainder of his days in peace and quiet. Then came the Stavisky scandal, the downfall of two cabinets in suc- cession, rioting and bloodshed in the streets of Paris. The republic was dangerously near collapse. What ‘would happen no one knew. ‘The attitude of the people can be §udged from the goings-on in the chamber of deputies. One report of the session which saw Daladier re- ceive three votes of confidence just before his resignation, thus depicts the scene after the premier, because of the confusion, had refused to an- swer questions from the floor: The legislators went wild. Some shouted “Fascism!” Oth- ers sang the Communist hymn, “The Internationale.” THE BISMARCK TRIBUNK, FRIDAY, FEBRUAR Y_9, 1934 that a lot of hullabaloo now would) unsettle the situation and do more, ‘| tree dinner town.” harm than good. He says the loans| are being negotiated on the basis of the “normal” value of the land, that is, its productivity at a fair price for the things it raises. There is always something to be said for an investigation. many cases the people have been de- prived of the facts, or given only half facts by their elected officers, and an thing approaching the truth. At the same time, if the experience of farmers in this section is any cri- terion, the suggested probe might not develop all its sponsors think it will. Reaction of North Dakota farmers to the land loaning program is that it has been fair and much more gen- erous than they expected—which is saying a lot. Bankers and others familiar with the loans granted have their tongues in their checks. Plenty of them will tell you that the land bank stands to lose a lot of money. The land bank officials themselves admit that this will be the case unless the prices of farm products improve. On the whole, the program seems to be following the middle course. If it has not espoused the doctrines of the ultra-radicals who would have the government purchase every piece of land under the pretense of mak- ing a loan, neither has it followed the hard-boiled practice of loaning only on the basis of its present deflated value, L Editorial Comment Editorials printed below show the trend of thought by other editors.

The New Deal in the Saddle (Dickey County Leader) North Dakota Democrats, long ne- glected and pushed and pulled about by their more powerful Republican brethren, are at last getting their re- ward. No longer are they meek and subservient. No longer do they obey the beckoning Republican finger. They are in the saddle riding hard and raring to go.

After years of sup- pression they are like a gang of boys just out of school. One reason for this, of course, is the Young Demo- crats organization, a smart move to interest the young voter in politics, and especially in the Democratic party. Wheel-horses of both parties are growing old, and slowing up as a ‘consequence. But the Democratic oldstets are fully capable of supply- The bedlam broke loose when Andre Tardieu, former premier and one of the leaders of the op- Position to Daladier, mounted the rostrum to speak. The deputies slammed the tops of their desks, pounded with books and fists, and roared epi- thets at one another. With such a situation in the na- tion’s greatest deliberative body is it ny wonder that the police were un- able to control the crowds in the streets? Onto the scene which had but lately seen such demonstrations, came this aged Cincinnatus, called from the plow just as the first Roman dic- tator was summoned. The effect was magical. The crowds in the streets acclaimed him, just as they had condemned Daladier and Sarraut. The public attitude gave him a vote of confidence before the parliament was asked to do so. A situation which had seemed fraught with power to shake the very foun- dations of the nation cleared appre- ciably. Doumergue will have a ing the brains, and if they keep the enthusiasm of the young hot-bloods from wrecking the machine, they should go far. That is, provided the Republicans can be made to see the| light. For more than ten years the two major parties have been moribund in North Dakota. Instead, economics, so-called, has been the line of cleav- age, with supporters rallying around either the Nonpartisan or the Inde- pendent standard. Because the Re- publican camp was more powerful, the League waged its battles under that banner. Hard-pressed, the Re- publicans pleaded for Democratic succor, and with nothing to lose, the Dems gave it. That was the situa- tion up to the last election, when the great strength of the national Demo- cratic machine swept even the con- servative Republican faction in state Politics into the discard, leaving the state in control of a Nonpartisan ad- ministration. But the League is a house divided. Governor Langer has lost the support even of his own executive committee, and with enemies on all sides, should be easy to topple. That is the view of all bystanders; but who is to do the toppling? There's the rub. chance to lead France out of her troubles, He is a long way from having Scored @ success. Political bickering of a bitterness unknown in America still reigns. Personal animosities and Jealousies have not been adjusted. ‘Many an ego must be deflated and many a politician be banished to ob- livion before sucess can be achieved. But the possibility for success ex- ists, That this is so is a tribute to the essential hard-headedness of the French people. They are mercurial and hot-headed, but before the last ditch is reached they usually take time out for a little clear thinking and a restoration of their perspective. ‘This appears to be the case now, It is possible that some cherished than was to be the case a few days The Policy Seems Fair Of some importance in the national congress just now is the proposal to investigation of the farm heavily on that istrator W. I. Meyers the suggestion on the ground For the normal anti-League Re- publican strength is approximately fifty per cent of the total, with the Nonpartisans and Democrats split- ting the remainder. We now have a triangle, with diverse forces pulling all directions. The anti-Langer Re- publican forces, combining with the Democrats, doubtless could make an ex-governor of Mr. Langer in record time. But will the stand-pat Repub- licans consent to such a union? The leaders know that their sun is in tem- porary eclipse, but they never could be made to believe that that sun had set. In other words, they feel they must maintain their political purity and keep alight the sacred fires. The Democrats have for years worked with the Republicans. Will these last reciprocate now? These things, of course, are elemen- tary, and have been threshed out many times by the leaders. At first glance the situation would appear to be a perfect set-up for the Democrats. Victorious nationally, they should sweep to victory in the state as well. They should, and perhaps will; but it must not be forgotten that in the state, as in the nation, the Demo- crats are riding the wave at this time, not because of superior strength, but by virtue of an unprecedented protest vote. And nobody knows what ® protest vote will do. Which ex- which they themselves gracefully. In the mean- time, the Young Democrats shoot off fireworks. * wild cabbage. The moon and Mars are the only Planets whose solid surfaces actually can be seen, is build resistance to winter ailments” the announcement goes on, in slightly smaller type, “utilize the strengthen- ing qualities, the ready assimilability and the convenience of ...” Never mind the name of the nos- trum. Suffice to say it purports to contain certain elements of milk and certain elements of cereals. In fact it is made from a mixture of ele- ments from these two common foods. With a good stretch of the imagi- nation and a liberal allowance for facetiousness one might say all that of a dish of cracked wheat and a glass of milk. But wheat and milk do not come in funny packages and they cost only what they are worth as good foods and there is no mystery about them, so the chances are peo- ple would laugh at you for a queer nut if you did seriously urge wheat and milk to help build resistance to winter ailments. And oddly enough the farmers who raise wheat and the dairymen who raise milk would be the first to laugh at such a suggestion. They always are. It must be the climate. No physician or scientist can ex- plain what “resistance to winter ail- ments” means or consists of. No one can define “resistance” as distin- guished from the positive state which science recognizes as immunity. But such minor considerations do not deter the credulous doctor from pre- scribing the most extravagant nos- trums; he has the feeling that be- cause these exquisitely packaged foods and medicines are “accepted” by the council on something or other in the national medical organization, that takes the curse off from the habit of Prescribing the nostrums. The cheap ballyhoo to the dumb doctors goes on to mention that the special process of making the stuff from milk and cereal conserves in “high degree” some of the vitamins present in milk and cereal. The im- plication of this, of course, is that the nostrum is a good source of vitamins. The truth is that it is inferior to the milk and cereal from which it is made. But who would ever suspect such a thing, from the imposing language in which the appeal to the half-baked doctor is couched? The hard-headed citizen needs to be reassured from time to time that natural foods, meats, fish, fowl, game, milk, eggs, vegetables, fruits, cereals, in their natural state, that is, fresh and undoctored or unrefined, in short, foods eaten as they grow and not, manufactured things, provide all the vitamins, mineral elements, nourish- ment, health and strength the body needs. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS The Fairy Story Pores ‘You seem to be the only doctor who KNOWS there are no pores in the skin. Attached are clippings showing How. WIDE IS THE PANAMA CANAL ZONE statements of three noted medical authorities who evidently imagine the human skin still has pores. (P. L. T.) Answer—Why not arrange a debate between any doctor or individual of Scientific standing who believes the skin has pores and absorbs things, and myself; the proceeds to go to some worthy charity? I'd gladly con- tribute my part, and also give my precious skin to any scientifically controlled test the opponents might care to make, to show whether the skin will absorb anything. Acids and Starches You betray your ignorance right along by suggesting diets that include acids and starch—but probably your intent is to create a little business for your masters, the aggregation of serum shooters known as the Ameri- can Medical association ... (R. F. G.) Answer—You are good, brother, and I wish I could print your letter in full. Also, I'd be grateful for a ref- erence to any authoritative work on Physiology which supports the funny notion that acids should not be taken in the same meal with starches. Acids rather naturally aid the diges- tion of starches. For instance, in his excellent little book “What We Eat and What Happens to It” (Harpers) Prof. Philip B. Hawk says: “We have found that oatmeal and cream, for example, are digested rather more satisfactorily if grapefruit prepares the stom- ach for their reception.” (Copyright, 1934, John F. Dille Co.)
