Thompson, director of the Scripps Foundation for Research in Popula- tion, A population which is not increas- ing rapidly, as American population has been increasing ever since the republic was founded, should develop @ more stable society than has been "| possible in the past, predicts Dr. Thompeon. Fewer people will be moving into 09 | the large cities. There will be less of the wasteful “mushroom” develop- 50|ment of the kind that brings alter- year Member of Audit Burea Circulation Member of The Associated Press ‘The Associated Press is exclusively entitled to the use for republication of all news dispatches credited to it or not otherwise credited in this newspaper and also the local news of Spontaneous origin published herein.

Nye is being seriously con- sidered for the chairmanship of the Republican party, the idea being that the infusion of new and pro- gressive blood would revivify the party and that closure of the break with the western progressives is nec- essary to future success. ‘That the heart of true Republican- ism lies in the west is undeniable. Unless log-rolling on the tariff and the high-finance of Wall Street are the chief aims—and at times in the past they have been—the chief in- terest of Republicanism lies with the small businessmen and the farmers. ‘The fact that the party lost them in 1982 was the fault of its leadership, not of the malcontents who refused/ to go along with the old style of Ree! publicanism. | It may be that Senator Nye could inject new life into the ancient po- litical steed, but to do so he would have to devise new and better poli- cies than those which have been espoused in recent years and it is doubtful if this would be popular among the leaders in the east. For the Old Guard still is dominant in Republican ranks. The east still talks of Ogden Mills, a Bourbon of the Bourbons, as the party’s next presidential candidate. In most states no effort has been made to unseat the bosses who have battened on politics in the past and will do 20) in the future as long as they possibly can. Representative of these, perhaps, is ‘W. Kingsland Macy, chairman of the Republican party in New York state for many years. Not all of the things which have been traced to Mr. Macy's doorstep have been savory ones. In hhis own sphere he has adopted the| ‘2 ‘Tammany idea and only the ancient standing of Tammany and the fact that it rules a highly organized me- tropolis has made it better known. ‘The same is very often true with the party leadership in other populous states. ‘ If Nye is offered the post of party Jeader it seems clear that it will either be a mere gesture, tied up with strings so as to hamper his activi- ties, or else the beginning of @ fight which will make history in American Politics, History Offers a Lesson Searchers in the deserts of Africa have come upon the ruins of cities which could not have existed except in a fertile land. The same thing holds true of that vast and mysteri- ous region in Asia known as the Gobi desert. But the desert has encroached up- dity of the soil Jong since dissipated. ‘This is something for America to think about as it watches the progress. of the present drouth. Grain statis- ticians tell us we are rapidly getting rid of the wheat surplus but, where- as this was a pressing problem only 0 mating booms and slumps. People will not shift from place to place and from job to job so much. Life will move along more evenly and with fewer disturbances. Usually a declining birth rate is looked upon as ominous. It is note- worthy that this expert on the sub- Ject takes a more hopeful view. More Speed Is Necessary Importance of pushing ahead the housing program to get the construc- tion trades busy again is shown in figures subinitted to the senate bank- ing committee by Harry L. Hopkins, federal relief administrator. Of the more than 4,000,000 fami- les on federal relief rolls, said Mr. Hopkins, between 1,000,000 and 1,500,- 000 are represented by workers in the building trades. If the housing program works as everybody hopes it will, the size of the bite it will take out of the unem- ployment problem is obvious. And by the same token the necessity for using a housing program to cope with the problem is equally clear. It is easy to see why Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins calls this scheme “one of the most essential features of the recovery program.” 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. The Canadian Seaway Revived (Chicago Tribune) 2 From Montreal rather than Wash- ington comes the information that the Canadian seaway treaty is to be submitted again to the United States senate for ratification in January. Whether the report is authentic or not remains to be seen, but the fact that the seaway, if built, would be of far greater benefit to Canada than to this country makes it probable that Canadian diplomacy has been at work to obtain assurances that the rejec- tion of a few months ago is not per- manent. The source of the informa- tion, therefore, can be regarded as tending to confirm the news rather than cast doubt upon its accuracy. The dispatches say nothing about amending the treaty before it is re- submitted. Presumably, then, no ef- fort is to be made to protect the immense investment by federal and te governments in the improve- ment of the Illinois and Mississippi rivers. The state department under Mr. Roosevelt seems unwilling to seek a better bargain for this country than force of arms, is to be relinquished. The diversion through the drainage is to be reduced not on order the American government to meet Tequirements of American health’ commerce but by compact with the most obviously objection- of the treaty, it would ap- to be revised.

The de- mand for the seaway came at a time when grain exports from our north- west were heavy and the capacity of the railroads was severely taxed.

Letters should be brief and written in ink. No reply can be made to queries not conforming to instructions. Address Dr, William Brady, WHAT, NO BATHS IN LITTLE AMERICA? A lot of good people who had be- come almost resigned to the sad con- cept promulgated by a certain health adviser to the effect that a complete wet wash is not necessary for health, at least not very often, are now all upset by an item inadvertently pub- ished on the funny—I mean the front page of the newspapers quoting old Mr. Lindley, who couldn't stand the climate in Antarctica and had to come home. This tottering valetudinarian announced in quavering tone that no one takes a bath in Little America, for it means pneumonia! No wonder they shipped the old gentleman home. He must have been a sore trial for Commander Byrd. The Commander, I understand, is a good clean fellow and as kind as an Eagle: Scout to the aged and infirm. But even he could hardly be expected to put up with a chap who harbors such quaint notions. ‘i It is too bad ‘they were unable to have Dr. Coman along this time. Re- member how the doughty Doctor used to cavort in the patio au naturel, when the temp. was flirting with forty be- low, at the time of the first Byrd ex- pedition? He could have reassured old Mr. Lindy that a bit of a clean- up was not at all dangerous, One danger the members of this and all other polar expeditions can count on evading, after they get away from contact with civilization, is pneu- monia. in care of this newspaper. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Rattlesnake Bite Prof. Vorhies of the University of Arizona, in Bulletin 135 issued from the university, says potassium per- manganate is useless for treating snakebite, and advocates antivenin but gives no detail of its use.... (D. M. B.) Answer—I agree—I believe most physicians do. The best treatment for bite by rattlesnake, copperhead or moccasin, is immediate incision of the place bitten, with knife, razor blade or thorn or bit of glass, two criss-cross cuts each an inch or less long and one-eighth inch deep, to induce bleed- ing, then immediate and prolonged suction of the wound, and an imme- diate injection into the tissues about the wound of a dose of antivenin. A package should be included in the emergency kit when you are traveling, working or living in snake country.

Mr. Vilhjalmur Stefansson’s expe- rience outweighs yours or mine or Mrs, Ben Told’s, I should consider. Mr. Stefansson tells me: “No one in any of our parties has ever, so far as I know, suf- fered the slightest ill effect from indefinite exposure to damp. I may not say it in so many words (in the book “The Friendly Arctic”) but you can infer from the de- scriptions that we waded day after day in ice water when we were travelling over the ocean in sum- mer... When we lived with the Slavey and other Athabasca In- dians, there was seldom a day when the feet of the Indians were not wet all day. I had Eskimo footgear and my feet were never wet, but I do not remember that there was any difference between us as to catching cold. This oc- curred only when there were epi- demics . . . We caught cold when we met strangers and not when we happened to get wet. I don’t want to pretend deciding any- thing, but certainly all my evi- dence, whether from experience or observation, is completely nega- tive. I have never seen any con- nection between wet feet and head colds.’ Put that in your base burner, old fossils, and take a bath if you think need one. don’t infer that I think it you good to get your feet wet Answer—Send a dime (not stamps) and a stamped envelope bearing your form... ? adiress, for cony of the booklet “Cal (Copyright 1934, John F.
