Prices and the NRA How adoption of the NRA idea hoosted the price of all manufactured articles is disclosed by Dun’s indus- trial indices, published by the Dun and Bradstreet commercial agency. It discloses that during the week of March 28 there were 19 price ad- vances as compared with 21 for the same week in 1933 and 15 for the ‘week previous. At the same time there were 29 price declines as compared with 40 for the same week in 1934 and 30 the ‘week before. Two explanations as to why the thumber of decreases exceeds the umber of increases readily offer themselves, ‘The first is the current stagnation §n the markets for farm produce. A good many of the items which are listed as declining are those which come from the farm, The good effects of the various governmental activi- ties seem to have spent themselves, @t least for the time, and the prices of most farm items show no further tendency to advance. ‘The second reason is the apparent dissipation of hopes for fat profits ‘under the NRA by manufacturers. ‘When the codes first were adopted, most industries seized the opportu- nity to jack prices up just as high as the prospects seemed to justify. ‘There were dreams, perhaps, of the cost plus system used during the World war, when the more a man could spend the bigger his profits were, But tbat attitude seems to have beén superseded by a more sensible Stand. Despite restrictions of the codes and the obviously justified complaints about price-fixing, com- petition has not been entirely elimi- nated and is making itself felt. The result is 1 scaling down from the op- timisfic price levels which were in- Stalled by some industries as soon as their codes became effective. Only Part Way The Vinson-Trammell navy bill, authorizing construction of 102 war- ships and 1140 airplanes for the ‘United States navy during the next five years, is now a law, passed by wongress and signed by the president. But it is worth noticing that the law does not actually commit the country to immediate construction of these armaments, instance of the ruinous price a com- munity can be forced to pay for in- dividual selfishness. Ousting the Brothers ‘Those in position to know the American Indian are familiar with his many fine qualities of mind and heart. If the Indian has had trouble tm absorbing the white man’s civil- ization, it is not entirely his own fault. Our treatment of the red man has been such as to make him an unbeliever. While Christian missionaries preached faith, love and constancy, the white man too often has given the Indian a practical demonstration of untruthfulness, irresponsibility and cruelty entirely at variance, with these professed doctrines. Who can blame the Indian if he has been slow to learn the intricacies of our s0- ciety? All of which may have little to do with the action of New Mexico's Navajos in expelling from the tribe scores of celebrities who had previ- ously been accepted as blood broth- ers. The tribal council of 12 reached the conclusion that it did them no good to make this friendly gesture toward their white brethren and then have the latter go around boast- ing about it. Privately, they must have come to the realization, too, that it cheapens the Indian to go about offéring blood brotherhood to every distin- guished citizen who happens to come within his ken. As a practical mat- ter it means little and it is very doubtful if many of the new mem- bers thus acquired ever have any sense of tribal fealty. Other Indian tribes, if they don't follow the Navajo example, would at least do well to restrict the number of “adoptions.” Few white men would miss the honor and the Indian would lose nothing of comradeship. Jobs for Youth Some way must be found to furnish Jobs for some 6,000,000 young men and women in the United States, if they are not to drift into chronic mal- content which would make them bad citizens. ‘This is the warning issued by the New York committee on mental hy- giene, which finds in extended job- lessness a grave menace to the men- tal balance of young people. ‘Young people who want to work and cannot, the committee asserts, tend to discover in themselves “a growing sense of guilt, discourage- ment, and even chronic malcontent- ment”; and once this feeling has takeri root, it is very difficult for them to adjust themselves to the so- ciety in which they live. Stating a problem, of course, is vastly easier than finding a remedy. That the depression has put a great strain on young people is undeniable. Finding jobs for all of them, however, is a thing that can't be done over- night. Nevertheless, the warning of this committee is a thing well worth keep- Editorial Comment Editorials printed below show the trend of thought by other editors.

THE INJECTION TREATMENT OF HERNIA A reader sent a letter of thanks to me for my recommendation of the ambulant treatment of hernia. He had received the treatment and was de- lighted with the results. He mention- ed the name of the doctor who gave the treatment. So I asked the doc- tor how come. Here is what the doc- tor says about it. Dear Dr. Brady: « » . I became interested in this form of treatment in 1930, and strange as it may seem, my interest developed from reading your articles in the paper. At that time my broth- er in law, Mr. , wrote you and later my brother, Mr. » attorney of » wrote you also. When I found my relatives were finding out things about hernia that I did not know I decided to look into the sub- ject. My brother consulted Dr. of and received several treatments in his office. I accompanied him once or twice, and Dr. invited me to attend his hernia clinic at the uni- versity where he and his associate, Dr. have had remarkable suc- cess in the injection treatment of her- nia. At the time I was attending the clinic the ———Clinic sent one of their]. . staff to learn the method and it is my belief that this man is now using the method in the Clinic, The doctor adds one detail seems galoot by a glib salesman or other un- qualified instructor. “All of the cases I have treated have had the injections in my office, and there has been no loss of time I call that important factor to the attention of employers. It might pay some large employers to give their! backward medical or surgical staff a vacation, and let ’em brush up a bit on some modern methods of treat- ment. . ae QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Smoking and the Wind I smoke about 10 cigarettes a day.

It weighs heavily on the president, on the New Deal head- liners, and on Congress. er! Big Business and industry lead in applying this pressure—against the stock market, Wagner, Tugwell, tariff, unemployment insurance, mu- nitions investigation, and other bills. Business and industry are by far the most powerful force today. They forced revision of the Wagner, stock market, Tugwell and tariff bills, made Roosevelt rebuff the A. F. of L. in the auto settlement, and sponsored the idiotic Wirt furore. They dominate NRA and balk New Deal or brain trust efforts at least once a week. Political pressure is exceptionally strong on Congress. So many mem- bers face primary or election fights.

It had all its plans made; but now it may have to by bribery resorted to in other crops, But its imposition means a funda- mental change in the American sys- tem. It means that the cotton farm- ers agree to dictation by the federal government as to how much cotton they may produce. If they produce more they are subject to fine and im- prisonment. No wonder some of the Senators voted for this measure with “fingers and toes crossed.” Here is regimen- tation with a vengeance. This is the first—and a drastic—step toward na- tionwide planned economy, which is merely another ‘term for economic Paternalism or autocracy.

I am ashamed to say that too many of the brethren who have written me con- cerning this method of treatment have betrayed their incompetence by mentioning that they have used some such nostrum. The solution which competent physicians use for the in- Jection of hernia is as cheap as dirt and in no way complicated or diffi- cult to prepare or obtain. I do not offer to tell anybody the recipe or formula for this solution, because I believe that it is a minor matter, and also I believe no physician is likely to succeed with this method unless he sits at the feet of a master, as did our colleague, and learns the technic Iam certain that most failures are due to the conceit of the doctor who thinks he can go ahead and develop his own technic without itself the seeds of its own nullification | any instruction from anybody.
