Just the Beginning Defeat by the senate of the St. Lawrence seaway treaty marked the} end of one fight and the beginning of | another which yet may be won. The ‘people of the middle and northwest ‘will not give up without a struggle and persistence will win in the end. ‘We will get the waterway within the active years of most persons now liv- ing because it is an inevitable and inescapable development. The man- mer in which all but the so-called in- ternational section of the river has lready been improved, whether by American or Canadian initiative, demonstrates the point. Meanwhile, it is not amiss to take ® look at the circumstances sur- rounding this initial defeat for the treaty to disclose what needs to be done before it will be approved. ‘The first thought, based on the his- tory of the major opposition, is that sectionalism still rules congress, Cities on the northeastern seaboard, which profited by the Panama Canal, op- pose this improvement solely on the ground of self-intezzst. From Bos- ton to Norfolk, Va., our eastern sea- ports have benefited by the connect- ing link between the Atlantic and Pacific. Much commerce has flowed through them as a result of it. Much of this commerce, by the way, used to pass through Bismarck and other) points on our transcontinental rail- way systems. It can be admitted, therefore, that| construction of the seaway might cause some loss of trade to such ports as Boston, New York, Philadel- phia and Baltimore. The same situ- ation exists in Canada where the so- called maritime provinces opposed} the treaty on the ground that it would reduce the importance of Quebec and Montreal as seaports, permitting vessels which once stopped| there to proceed past them into the interior. Opposition of this sort must be ex- ‘pected and may never be eliminated. ‘There is a chance, however, of re- moving the most pernicious opposi- tion which the treaty encountered, that of senators from Illinois, Mis- souri, Iowa and other midwestern States, This has its root in the hope for a great system of interior canals, some of them already built; others in pro- cess of construction and still others pro, for building. Their opposition was based on the theory that the treaty limits the ‘amount of water which may be di- wverted from Lake Michigan for either navigation or sanitation purposes. ‘They fear that this limit will pre- vent the development of canals from Chicago to the Mississippi river to fccommodate large vessels and there- by interfere with the growth of such cities as Chicago and St. Louis. For this reason Senators Lewis of ll- inois and Clark of Missouri appeared @s leading opponents of the St. Law- sence pact. Senator Dickinson of Iowa, figuring that river development would be of greatest benefit to his state, also doined the opposition. In the historical background of the sanitation argument lurks as perni- cious % piece of politics as ever dis- graced America. This is the Chicago sanitary district's failure to do the about its sewage, 4 sanitary canal was constructed and all sorts of filth lay inert along its length, a disgrace to the city and the state of Illinois. pease | @ollars appropriated for this purpose Provide it with plenty of sewage treatment and garbage disposal facili- ties to meet its needs. The reason it hasn't got them is that millions of were wasted during the terms of Big Bill Thompson as mayor of Chicago and Len Small as governor of Illinois. This waste and graft constitutes one of the most shameful chapters in American governmental history and is well known. The whole business gives strength to the idea that one American mu- nicipality or commonwealth may well be, after all, its brother's keeper. Be- cause Chicago politicians were waste- ful, extravagant and corrupt, North Dakota and her sister states must go without a much-needed and valuable improvement. The relationship be- tween the two things is direct and inescapable, An Echo of War You could draw two or three rather obvious morals, probably, from that 10 school children lost their lives, when an old World war shell which they found in a field suddenly ex- ploded. To most people, probably, the most obvious point will be that what hap- pened to these school children was not, after all, very unlike what hap- pened to Europe as a whole in 1914. The children found a nice, attrac- tive shell, they started monkeying with it, and it suddenly blew up and destroyed them. Europe, half a generation ago, in! an almost equally carefree and ig- norant manner, likewise was playing with a shell—with a whole arsenal! full of shells, to be exact. Suddenly, without warning, the ar- senal exploded. Maybe Europe wasn’t exactly destroyed, but the result wasn't far short of it. And the moral—almost too obvious to be worth repeating—is that if you play around with high explosives you're apt to get hurt. It applies to nations as well as to children. Past the Corner A tabulation recently made by the National City Bank of New York shows in black and white just how the revival of the last 12 months has improved the status of American in- dustries. This tabulation studied some 810 corporations divided among 37 in-| dustrial groups. In 1932 the opera-| tions of these 810 corporations showed | & net deficit of $46,000,000. In 1933] they had net profits of $40,000,000, Sad little accident in Poland where|’ They’re Off ! “Se AMERICAN TAXPAYER ahi pa PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE By William Brady, M. D.

The reason for it is of course to break up the confidence the People of the state has in the work of Mr. Olsness, Mr. Langer tried his worst to blacken the record of the in- surance commissioner in the Heising defalcations in the hail department last winter. But Mr. Olsness came| out of it with as clean a record as ever, which must have led Langer to Tesort to more villifying methods to carry out his aims.

In cases of Bright's disease or arteriosclerosis in middle | aged persons there is a pallor but no anemia. In mild chronic carbon mon- oxide poisoning there is likely to be a noticeable pallor, yet the blood count is likely to show an actual in- crease in red corpuscles. Drug ad- dicts are notoriously pallid though; not necessarily anemic, Victims of chronic lead poisoning are more con- sistent, usually having both pallor and anemia or at any rate poorly formed red corpuscles. The picture of health is really rather pale, not the vivid tangerine it is painted. Laymen have funny notions about the blood and anemia, notions ac- quired from the source of most pop- ular misinformation concerning health and disease—the nostrum vendors. When a charlatan mixes up @ mess of iron he is at once put to it to dis- pose of the junk, for according to all old traditions there must be not more than a grain or two of iron to the bottle or package. More than that, thinks the quack, would put the cus- tomer’s teeth on edge and shrivel up his insides. What is more important from the big business viewpoint, if more than a mere pinch of iron were incorporated in the nostrum it might even cure anemia in some cases—and Filene, Boston merchant.

Congressmen Even Dumber Than Before, BY RODNEY DUTCHER (Tribune Washington Correspondent) Washington, March 15.—The war between men and women has broken out again on this front. It keeps ‘Washington correspondents in con- stant fret. Each of the various ne' men’s clubs has had the female issue up in recent weeks. In past years they've gradually been forced to re- cognize the existence of the other sex, but the girls scored no gains in this ‘winter's disputes. The National Press Club's first big concession Was installation of a lad- jes’ dining room, quite separate from the rest of the club, for which wives and other relatives were given cards. Two organizations of newspaper women later asked and received cards. But the dear hearts were in for a set- Suddenly, after repeal, arose an in- surgent movement of members to abolish that dining room. Certain unchivalrous gents demanded that the room be used for a bar. They Presented the familiar argument that the club must be kept as a sanctuary where wives couldn’t penetrate. Their strength was so great at the room”—big enough for s couple of tables, The Newspaper Club, more radical, fought ore te question of admit- ting women to home and fireside.
