Weekly by mail outside of North Dakota, per ah ‘Washington, Sept. 5.—When congress reconvenes next January, the senate probably will turn to two of its most distinguished members and ask: “Well, boys, what next?” The gentlemen addressed will be Burton K. Wheeler of Montana and Robert F. Wagner of New York, whose legislative achievements, when you count up the score, stand out above all others in this second congress of the New Deal. Wheeler, a “radical” from the far west, reached a position of power as chairman of the interstate com- merce committee and used it for all it was worth, pound- ing through more than half a dozen important meas- ‘ures, ‘Wagner, the former immigrant boy and Tammany judge, fathered the economic security act, the labor dis- putes act, and railroad pensions. Other leaders, including those practical politicians officially charged with carrying the White House hod, almost dwindle into insignificance beside them. If you want to philosophize, you could say there’s hardly a footprint left of Lodge, Underwood, Martin, Smoot, Cannon, Penrose, Longworth, and other erst- while powerful leaders of congress, whereas these two liberals, possessed of social conscience, after being block- ed and blockaded many years by the materialism that jlasted through and hung over from the 1920-29 period, have made heavy marks on the floor of time. They may “live” as Old Bob LaFollette, forerunner of many progressive measures at last enacted, still lives and as George Norris will live long after he is gone, i Member of Audit Bureau of Circulation Member of The Associated Press The Associated Press is exclusively entivied 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.

Politicians may talk all they please. Long- haired men and short-haired women may rant and rave about this and that theory of social organization or reform, but the fact remains that this widespread response to a universal urge offers the best possible insurance for the nation. Get All You Can An Associated Press item from St. Paul illustrates the current tendency to get all that is possible from the federal government in connection with affairs which heretofore have been regarded as the peculiar province of the state. Nearly every state constitution charges the home government with educating its children, and this is so in Minnesota. Yet a report of a meeting of that state's executive council says that body adopted a policy of matching whatever additional federal funds “can be obtained” for the aid of needy high school students, From this it would seem that the state of Minnesota intends to let the federal government take the initiative and set the pace. It will follow, getting as much as it can and going as far as it can on that basis, But suppose the government doesn't allow enough to provide for all high school children, what is the state going to do then? Will it sit back and disclaim the responsibility which law and custom delegate to it or will it go beyond the leadership of Washington and make provision for the education of its youth on its own hook? More than most people realize this question presents one of the real issues in the trend of government in America. ‘Talk of state’s rights is just so much balderdash as long as this attitude prevails in the governments of our separate commonwealths, Scent More Propaganda Nations which have protested to Moscow against subversive activities of the Third Internationale now number five. In addition to the United States they in- clude Japan, England, Italy and Latvia. In each case the charge is made that the Russians are indulging in anti-governmental propaganda. When you stop to look at it, the list is a curious one. The United States and England constitute the last great bulwarks for freedom of speech, conscience and political action which the world knows. They are the apostles of liberalism. Japan and Italy are among the great dictatorships; Japan because of the fact that its emperor is one of the few absolute monarchs left on earth, Italy because its political ruler wields power as great as that of any king. Yet all of them join in opposing the Russian idea, which is still another form of dictatorship. There is something illuminating in the way the Soviet has made sharp rejoinder to each protest. In recent years Stalin has changed the course of Russian sevolutionary thought toward solidifying his reign at gome. In the present strong defense of the Third In- sernationale, which reajly is the propaganda bureau of she Communist government, there are evidences that the dyeam of Lenin and Trotsky for a world state 1s being It hints at @ prospect of more Russian pro- everywhere, rather than less. pig swallowed a vial of radium. the farmer might have sold the other powers she is Italy do if the others persist in Forthcoming $150,000 investigation of food dis- tribution, to find out how much packers, canners, mill- ers, and other middlemen have been profiting at expense of consumers and farmers, 5, Bus and truck regulation—providing the first \regulation of commercial interstate motor traffic, rates, | fares, and practices, eee WAGNER PLAYS BIG ROLE In spare time, Wheeler has taken on such odd jobs 88 pushing the Guffey coal bill through his committee and blocking the money-sucking Bland-Copeland mer- chant marine subsidy bill.

That was so in the eighteen twenties, the forties, the sev- enties, and the nineties. Each time a pickup of about 50 per cent in the sale of goods abroad has started things humming here. 5 Profiting by experience, we would have sought busi- ness recovery by promoting sales to other nations. That there was a volume of foreign trade worth trying to get was clear from the statistics. Merely getting back old customers who were shopping elsewhere would have meant orders for four billion dollars’ worth of goods per year. What was clearly required was a removal by inter- national agreements of the impediments. But this was too simple for any brain trust professor to think of. The professor's plan was a slicker. Off- hand one wouldn’t think of it. It was as if the problem was to improve the range of a soprano, and a solution was found in re-defining the scale, calling high C what has always been known as A. The brain trust foreign trade reviver employed a similar trick. What every one recognizes as only 59 cents is called a dollar. A piece of foreign money would thus buy a larger amount of Amer- ican money. Before this operation a thousand francs was equal to 39 dollars, but after the operation a thou- sand francs was equal to 66 dollars. The theory was that the coin clipping wouldn't be taken into account, by Americans in deciding what they would sell their. ser- vices and wares for, but would naturally be taken account of by the foreigners. Thus we were to sell more goods by cutting our prices, but the prices were to be cut without any one at home knowing about jt. This amazing method of increasing sales of foreign goods has actually been employed with temporary syc- cess by Japan. If American labor was decile as Japs- nese labor is, and if our government while employing this scheme to reduce our prices abroad had not simultane- ously used every conceivable method to raise prices here, the result might have been the same as it was in Jgpen. But even there finis has not been written on the scheme. There may come a day when Ni syf- jpponese workmen fering from a steadily reduced standard of living may realize that the yen is not what it used to be. But, however much devaluation has done for Japan, it has been a flop here. The report of the commerce de- partment for the first seven months shows that not only are foreign sales not increasing but that re actually importing into the United States large quantities of goods which we can produce more cheaply than any coun. try.

D. ady will Anarene een ey aad in ine Ruaress De, y in care of The Tribune, All queries must be accompanied by 1f-addressed envelope. Dr. Brady will answer Insulin is a patent medicine. The discoverers its manufacture and sale for medical dical sanctions the patenting of a remedy if the cheater” portacl tne profits from the monopoly is employed to endow research. ie wn to brass tacks, it takes some sophistry to defend t ey rneade of medicine toward such patenting of medicine. The essence of the ethics involved is the question whether it is just and right to compel victims of diabetes to support medical research. If all Bi ferers from diabetes were well-to-do it would not seem so unfair to pee them to contribute freely to medical research as well as pay for treatment. But a great many diabetic patients have to struggle with poverty and want, and it is a’monstrous shame to exact a contribution for medical research from such sufferers. If medicine in this country should amend its position on this matter, the price of insulin would be reduced at once to @ consistent amount which would bse ea boon within reach of thou- sands who at present simply cannot a! 5 * Practically none of se opuke nostrums known as “patent medicines’ is patented. Only the fancy name applied to such proprietary remedies is registered so that no one else can sell a product bearing the same name, but any one may make, use or sell the same product under another name, if he wishes. ‘Unless s duodenum extract recently introduced in experimental work proves as effective as insulin, we have nothing to take the place of insulin erapeutics. = “wnerT venture to call “poor man’s insulin” is vitamin B. Numerous investigators have found in actual practice that an optimal ration of vitamin B replaces from 10 to 35 units of insulin daily. By “optimal ration of vitamin B” we mean rhuch more vitamin B than we think necessary to maintain good health in a normal individual. How much, nobody knows. But there is no reason to suspect that anybody can too much vitamin B in any circumstance. a T have told here repeatedly the best sources of vitamin B. (Details in booklet “Building Vitality,” copy of which will be sent on request, if you inclose ten cents coin and stamped envelope bearing your address.) Now it must suffice ‘to mention a few good sources: Plain wheat, wheat germ, wheat bran, peanuts, tomato or tomato juice (raw or factory canned). “In general,” says one authority (Sherman), “there need be no prac- tical danger of shortage of vitamin B except where an unduly large pro- portion of the calories needed in nutrition are taken in the form of arti- ficially refined foods.” “compromisc” loan price established * * * Objectives The economic planners had four objectives in wanting the loan trim- med on cotton: 1.

The cotton farmers of the south, have been turning over their product to the commodity credit corporation —& government agency set up under the “New Deal”—and received in re- turn a loan of 12 cents a pound. ‘The theory was if the market price of cotton went above 12 cents the farmer could sell and pay off the loan. If it fell under 12 cents, he could keep the loan and the govern- ment would keep the cotton. Despite government support, how- ever, the price of cotton has been ranging under 12 cents and govern- ment warehouses have been filled with bales of cotton. * ee ‘New Deal’ Fears “New Deal” economic planners reached the conclusion that continu- ance of the 12 cent loans would re- tard sales and lead to increased for- eign competition. What worried them most, however, was that unless something was done the government would own so much cotton that even- tually the whole structure might col- lapse. They persuaded the president to reduce the loan from 12 cents a pound to 9 cents. Immediately a howl went up from the southern senators. By employing that time-honored device in politics known as log roll- ing, these southern senators were able to bring about a deadlock and get a} 2.

Those who followed the bitter fight on the utility holding company bill— |a fight unparalleled. in iegislative history—found surface explanations for final agreement on the question | inadequate. Pressure for adjournment of con- gress, advanced by many as a reason, undoubtedly contributed something toward acceptance of the now fa- mous “Barkley compromise” which broke the deadlock on the “death sentence,” but it is agreed generally it was far from the deciding factor.
