Democracy Triumphs Tt is an instructive coincidence that Franklin Roosevelt and Adolf Hitler completed their first year in office almost on the same day. America has had a year of the new deal; Germany has had a year of Nazi control. It is worth while to contrast the state of things in the two countries, as a means of com- paring two utterly different ways of meeting national emergency. In making such comparison there | 4s no need to contrast the personali- ties of the American president and the German chancellor. What is im- portant is the striking way in which two diametrically opposite theories of government have been put to work in time of crisis. In each nation there was wide- spread confusion, discouragement, and want a year ago. Many men ‘were out of work, finance and indus- try were nearly at a standstill, the mass of mankind was ready to em- brace almost any kind of program that promised action. What have we today? In Germany there is an era of sup- pression. A large section of the pop- ulace suffers from a pitiless persecu- tion. Thousands upon thousands of men are in jail—some because of their race, some because of their be- iets. Freedom of the press and of speech is no more. No one dares criticize anything the government may do. An iron discipline has descended on the entire nation, And over here? Nobody is in jail, nobody suffers persecution, nobody is under boycott. A newspaper editor van say anything his heart moves him to say; a politician can denounce the administration in the most violent ‘terms his vocabulary will permit. In the fall we are to have a na- tional election in which the voters, if they choose, can repudiate their wational administration completely. To put it more simply, the Ger- mans have sacrificed the last ves- tiges of their individual liberty to meet a great crisis. We have met our crisis with our liberties unim- paired. Now this is not to say that we are wiser or better folk than the Ger- mans. We are used to democracy. We had had a century and a half of experience in governing ourselves. |- ‘The Germans were not used to de- mocracy; when trouble came it was only natural for them to turn to a dictator for relief. And it is precisely that which is the point of the comparison. Because ‘we have been able to make our de- tmocracy work, we are a happier peo- ple than the Germans, who have not ‘been able to make theirs work. If we wish to preserve our happi- fness, we must preserve our democ- racy. Shall We Clear Tariff of Local Politics? ‘To get the background for the pro- posal that tariff rate-making be put fin the hands of the president, it is mecessary to go back a full half-cen- tury in American history, to the day ‘when a presidential candidate re- marked contemptuously that the tar- Sf2 was “a local issue.” ‘That, on the face of it, was an ex- @eedingly silly remark. But the years of tariff wrangling since it was ut- fered have gone far to prove that it was pretty largely correct. A tariff bill, in theory, ought to be framed on broad lines of national in- ‘erest. In actual practice, it never is. Whether it be a bill to raise the tar- modity. It was necessary to bring flaxseed such negotiations. He could not take an article off the free list or put one on it, and his power would be limited to a three-) year term. This, clearly, Js a bill of far-reach- ing proportions. It would alter com- pletely our traditional method of set- ting tariff rates, taking this most im- it in one man. The question to decide now is weigh the defects. something resembling a scientific tariff and it would end one of Wash- ington’s greatest log-rolling games. president enormous new powers and —to all intents and purposes—take from the representatives of the peo- ple one of their most important func- tions. We are called upon to do a nice bit of .weighing of comparative advan- tages. Less Speed, More Safety @ good deal of fun out of the fact | that the Northern Federation of Civic | Organizations, in California, has| adopted a resolution urging legisla-| tion forbidding the production of; autos which can exceed a speed of 45 miles an hour. | But when you stop to think about it, this resolution isn’t nearly as ri-| diculous as it might seem on first! glance. | Excessive speed is a contributing | factor in the majority of fatal auto} accidents. We pass elaborate traffic! laws and hire whole battalions of; traffic policemen to see that speed is curbed—but we go right ahead mak- | ing cars which can travel at speeds) that are genuinely safe nowhere but on regular speedways. On the whole, we don’t seem to have sense enough to handle these high-speed cars properly; it is not in the least surprising if some people are beginning to suspect that more radi- cal restrictions are necessary. America’s Advantages Whatever the calendar may say, or whatever the weatherman may have to add, spring is here. An unfailing harbinger tells us so; the big league baseball clubs have started their spring training seasons. Now we are beginning to get the annual crop of “dope stories,” telling how this rookie is sure to be a sensa- tion, how that veteran has taken a new lease on life, how So-and-So still is holding out for more money, how such-and-such a star is knocking the ball over the fences of the southland with renewed zest. None of it means very much, prob- ably—but it stirs the citizens’ pulses, just the same. It means that winter is over, and that a long stretch of nice weather is just ahead. Baseball remains the national game, in that, in all its aspects, it is characteristic of America and of no other land. How, one wonders, do the benighted folk of England, France, or Russia, know when spring has ar- rived, without the big leaguers to tell them? Do they have to depend on calendars?

They are published without regard to whether they agree or disagrve with The Tribune's policies, From India to Minneapolis (Minneapolis Tribune) Two distinct news dispatches in The Tribune this week suggest a para- doxical situation in agriculture which has been frequently discussed. Ac- cording to one dispatch, 13 carloads of flaxseed were received in Minne- apolis from India on Tuesday. On the same day A. H. Benton, now with the replacement crops division of the AAA, was pointing out to North Da- kota farmers that they could shift from wheat to flax in 1934 and be fairly certain that they would not have to face a surplus in that com- to Minneapolis from the other side of the world, and pay a premium of 60 cents a bushel for it, because the northwest’s flax crop in @ normal crop year is only about half of the mount needed by the country. In 1933 this normal crop was reduced by almost 50 per cent because of the drouth, The shortage is therefore more acute than usual and it is pre- dicted that the importation of flax- seed for crushing will have to be con- tinued during the coming year, since domestic supplies are not large enough to meet the demand. According to Mr. Benton's esti- mates, an average yield on an acreage that was 50 per cent greater than that sown in 1933 would not produce more HEEREE Hae : feet | | j i = pia Be i Hh i ig 8 5 i ; & i | Portant function of government out/ of the hands of congress and vesting | It would give us a chance to get, On the other hand, it would give the| The wisecrackers probably will get | diagnosis, or treatment, will be ans’ self-addressed envelope is enclosed. in ink.

SCHOOLBELLE STOMACHACHE Every real boy or girl is entitled to the privilege of an occasional attack) of 8 o'clock fever in an r month. Pa- rents who are reasonably indulgent should not be too much concerned about these spells. With all the mod- ern improvements and inducements school sometimes palls on the modern child just as the plain old fashioned institution did on you and me. Here is a mother—I suspect @ one- child mother—who takes schoolbell stomachache too seriously. “I have been sending my five year old daughter to kindergarten for a month. After a few days of school she began to act strangely in the mornings. She doesn’t want to get out of bed. She walks around with a frown on her face. She complains of bellyaches (whether she really has them, I don’t know). She gets vomit- ing spells, even though she wouldn’t eat or drink anything at all for breakfast. She vomits many times just as she enters the school grounds. But once she gets into school, she plays happily and enjoys herself thor- oughly. She never mentions that she doesn’t like or doesn’t want to go to school. All this happens only on school days. Saturdays and Sundays she jumps out of bed, eats a big breakfast and feels fine. Her actions}. , (Miss 8. H.) in the morning worry me much. She is losing weight. Please advise me what to do.” ‘One good way to remedy the trouble would be to keep the child out of school and instead employ a well trained teacher, one especially train- ed to teach and manage infants, to spend an hour with the child each schoolday. Such a teacher can ac- complish wonders with such a child, and in @ way that is so unlike the child's conception of kindergarten or school that it will bring out (educate) the child's natural enthusiasm to learn. Another way would be to endeavor to get on friendly terms with one or more of the teachers in the kinder- garten, say by having them as guests from time to time when the child can get acquainted with them. Also if possible have some of the other chil- dren in the kindergarten come to lit- tle parties, so that the child can get well acquainted with them. Finally, it is possible that there is something wrong with the kindergar- ten or the attitude of those in charge or the attitude of other children, some influence which would justify withdrawing your child and ig ut would be a mistake to take such a step unless you know definitely that the change is necessary. More like- ly the child herself is not yet suf- ficiently trained to get along with other children, as she must learn to do if she is not to become a neurotic. If you can afford the advice of a Physician who limits his practice to mental states, a psychiatrist, that her to some other school. “PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE By William Brady, M. D.

Tongue Shows Indentations A correspondent asked why his| tongue showed marks of the teeth all around the edges. The answer print-, ed here was that such chronic inflam- mation of the tongue is part of a similar state in the stomach, and that the patient's habits need revising.
