It believes that the experi- ment now going forward in Russia is incompatible with the traditional American principle of freedom and individual liberty and that espousal of Communism would mean aban- donment of much which all of us hold dear. , Nevertheless, it has a certain ad- miration for the Communists who will meet here next month at the call of the United Farmers’ League with a view to taking such action in the cur- rent political situation as they see fit. ‘They may be wrong in principle, but they are perfectly frank as to what they stand for. And their opinions of present conditions, while preju- diced by a peculiar twist of thinking, are nevertheless their own. Reading the propaganda which they sent out with their announcement, it is diffi- cult for a fair-minded man to chal- lenge the honesty of either their opin- ions or their purpose. Incidentally, this propaganda de- Uberately rubs salt into one of our sorest wounds. It points out anew the fact that what we call surpluses in goods are, when viewed from the standpoint of human need, wholly artificial. It demands to. know how ‘anyone can say there is over-produc- tion of clothing when many have not) enough clothes; how we can honestly be said to have a shortage of food- stuffs when so many persons are finding it difficult to get either the quantity or variety of food they need or would like to have. If the Communists were the first to raise this question we should be grateful to them. Capitalism long has recognized proper distribution of goods as one of its essential needs. ‘The goal is one toward which capital- ism as well as Communism has strug- gled and the results achieved have been better in America under the former than they have been under the latter in Russia. For The Tribune to wish this or- ganization well would be intrinsically dishonest. This newspaper may still be listed among the unconverted. It is well, however, for persons who honestly believe in capitalism, to note its weaknesses and inequities, strive to correct them. To do so is the best antidote to Communism. The Red doctrine thrives only in soil which has been mistreated by the excesses of capitalism, just as current trends toward capitalism in Russia are fos- tered by the excesses of Communism. It is the abuses of a system, rather If the meeting here can point to ‘weaknesses in our present structure which are not already known, it will do a service for the economic theory it 60 bitterly opposes, The Six-Hour Day One of the most interesting indus- trial experiments now going forward in America is that adopted by W. K. Yet the six-hour day is not only on the way, it already is here. Regard- less of any laws on the subject, it will be @ reality for most working folks within a few years. Example is a powerful thing and if the six-hour day proves itself in Mr. Kelloge’s cereal plant, public opinion will support it with sufficient strength to insure its spread to other industry. Little Brother in Jail Great to do was made in Chicago the other day about an alleged plot to free a hardened criminal from jail there and the discovery in his cell of ® loaded revolver, all ready for ac- 00 | tion. It was not a whittled toy, such ‘88 Dillinger used, but a deadly weapon capable of dealing death to any who might get in the path of its user. Because of.a tip, police were able to foil ‘the plot, obtain the weapon before any breaks for freedom oc- curred. Now they have arrested Harold Jirka, brother of State Health Com- missioner Frank Jirka, prominent and powerful in politics. They say the young man smuggled the revolver into prison, gave it to the criminal, who stood ready to use it at the first opportunity. ‘The result should be an interesting sidelight on Chicago politics. Blood Tuns thicker than water and the na- tural thing for the health commis- sioner is to “front” for his erring brother. On the other hand, there is no question but that society will be best served by sending the young man to prison in the event he is found guilty. Anyone who smuggles @ weapon to a man in prison is po- tentially guilty of being accessory to murder, ‘We may have, here, an opportunity to see how political influence works and how society deals with it—if it can, A Complicating Factor Not the least interesting item in the current news is the protest by Ambrose merchants against the busi- ness debt moratorium recently prom- ulgated by Governor Langer. They see it as a handicap, rather than a benefit, and in this they doubtless will be joined by other merchant groups. At best it is an unsettling factor than clarifies the problems of the av- erage businessman. Editorial Comment Editorials printed below show the trend of thought by other editors, ‘They are published without regard to whether they agree or disagree with The Tribune's policies. NRA and Monopoly (Chicago Tribune) The report of the federal trade commission on the trend of the steel industry under NRA contains noth- ing that will astonish readers of The Tribune. It was obvious from the first that the so-called codes of fair Competition were destined to be used to destroy competition for the bene- fit of the larger units of industry. The industrial giants had been se- verely buffeted not only by the de- pression but also by smaller and more agile organizations and proposed to use NRA as a means to render the little fellows impotent. How far the Process has advanced in one basic industry is clearly indicated in the trade commission's report. While there is nothing in the re- Port which can be regarded as in any way unexpected, the report never- theless is not valueless. It serves the purpose of calling attention forcibly to the contradictory nature of the Tecovery act itself. The act at one point authorizes trade associations to ‘organize in violation of the anti-trust statutes and at another specifically states that monopolistic practices are not to be permitted. The two provi- sions together make no sense. They destroy each other. The essence of monopoly is price fixing and the es- sence of the anti-trust statutes is the Prohibition of price fixing. Once the larger units of an industry are per- mitted to impose a schedule of prices upon all units in that industry, the anti-trust laws are dead. They have no further value either as a protec- tion to the small merchant and man- ufacturer or as a protection to the public against extortion and discrim- ination. To hold that there is any life in the anti-trust laws under NRA as it has been applied in the steel business is to talk nonsense. The report reveals the contradic- tory nature of the recovery act, and E 1 E i gE if i PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE By William Brady, M. D.

I went to six other doctors before I found one who used the method for removing tonsils... Now I am not a stranger to doctors and hospitals, for I have had duodenal ulcer for fifteen years... When I think of how little pain or distress there is in this diath- ermy method I wonder how the old! fashioned doctors can persuade pa- tients to submit to the guillotine and snare method.

Appendicitis A man (not a physician) who claims to know says both appendicitis and neuritis are caused by constipation. Also he says olive oil is ‘preventive and curative... (R. K.) Answer—Intuition is a wonderful thing. Physicians do not believe that constipation causes either disease. However, olive oil is a good food and can do no harm. Dobell’s Solution I use a mouthwash made from tab- lets of Dobell’s solution. Each tablet contains 7% grains of borax, 7% grains of saleratus and 114 grains of carbolic acid, and is labelled “Poison.” Is it dangerous to use for spray, gargle or mouthwash? (C. 8S. W.)
