Speaks for the Nation In declaring an embargo on the exportation of arms to Italy or Ethiopia, either directly or; indirectly, President Roosevelt speaks for the entire American people. Here and there may be individuals who do not agree with this action, but they are in the minority and will hardly become vocal in the face of the public sentiment which manifestly fs backing the president’s stand. This is not to say that the nation gives whole-hearted endorsement to the theory that the lust for war profits on the part of a few manufacturers drives nations into war. Of that few persons are sure. It is, however, recognition of the fact that war profits exact a much heavier burden than appears at first blush. America produced some 22,000 millionaires during the World war and experienced the greatest rush of prosperity it had ever known. But this was a temporary thing. We have by no means finished paying for the last war. When the bill for it finally is totaled, statistians observe, the cost will be well above ONE HUNDRED BILLION DOL- LARS. That fact, as well as others which come home to us as the roll of war drums again is| heard in the world, makes us cautious. What- ever the causes of war, we want none of it. We sent 2,000,000 men to France in 1917) and 1918 to make the world safe for democracy. | Today it is universally recognized that not only | did we fail in that high mission but that CON- ||} DITIONS ARE WORSE TODAY THAN AT ANY TIME PRECEDING THE OUTBREAK OF THE WORLD WAR IN 1914. Jealousies are more pronounced and hatreds | burn brighter. Every nation has vastly more armament. Peace hangs by a thread in half a @ozen chancelleries. We, alone, have good cause} to hope for continued amity and even that de- pends upon the course of our statesmanship, American patriotism is not at a low ebb. If need be, the men of the nation would rise to} defend it as they have in the past. But our people know there is little beyond tribulation and heartbreak in store for the nation which takes up arms. We want none of it if it can be avoided. A sense of caution guides us. As a people we instinctively know that the booming of cannon is merely a sign of man’s inability to reach a better and more satisfactory adjust- ment of international differences. Significant Sign Not all the signs of recovery are good ones, Take, for example, the current tendency to partici- fpate in gambling pools. Everywhere in Bismarck pots are heing made up on the world series. Some are being mildly enriched as a result and the losses to others are small, The American tendency to take a chance is reasserting Stself. While not the most laudable sign of an improved out- | Nook, it is one of the most significant. It indicates a ‘willingness on the part of the average individual to put hhis money into circulation again, to take a chance, to Jook for the silver lining inside the cloud and the pot ©f gold at the end of the rainbow. Most of these pools are rather harmless. In few cases is any cut being taken by the promoters. But the tendency may be carried too far. If the in- Gividual is tempted to participate in pools sponsored by professional promoters, he is liable to learn something to his sorrow. In such cases the cut often amounts tg 60 per cent of the “take” and it is not uncommon to have the operator walk off with the whole business, ‘The moral is that, if one must “take a flyer,” he had best do so at home. Otherwise it is a good deal like play- ing cards with a professional gambler who uses a marked deck.

Meat Will Rise in Price, Then Drop Before Election . . . Cabinet Members Hard to Find , Through. eee Washington, Oct. 7—Reconnaissance along the pork chop front reveals an indication that certain packers have been kidding the government as to the amount of their profits, Also, though roast pork, bacon and eggs, and ham sandwiches will cost more this winter than they do now, prices probably will start dropping next summer and be materially lower by election time. The AAA's first public hearing on a proposed ad- justment program concerned the corn-hog situation. Thanks mostly to drouth, there'll be about 47 pounds of hog products available per person in the marketing year beginning Noy. 1 instead of the normal consumption of 83 pounds. With no adjustment program, there should be about 62 pounds in the marketing year beginning next fall, meaning lower prices, which should begin to appear earlier. Meanwhile, the AAA is required by law to operate in two-year programs and fears if something isn’t done to keep down corn production there'll be a subsequent hog production in excess of normal consumption. eee SIX MILLION BOBS UP Packers’ profits, often the subject of kicks from housewives on meat strike, were represented as $29,550,- 000 for 1934 by packers themselves at the hearings. That figure, which is all the government ever had to go on—being unable to examine packers’ books—was the total reported to the bureau of animal industry un- der requirements of the packers and stockyards act. But late in the afternoon an AAA official stated that the figure had been revised to $36,053,331. The only ex- planation given for this sudden change was that the profit figure for one company (608 companies reported) had been revised. eee PROFITS GO SOARING The new figure means that packers last year made their highest total profits since 1929 and that the profit per dollar of sales was 1.84 cents—highest percentage in 10 years. Evidence indicated big packers had been do- ing very well, while many small packers were suffering. (Note to housewives: More information on packers’ profits will be brought out by the federal trade commis- sion investigation of food industries. Meanwhile, watch to see whether the AAA corn-hog program lives up to Secretary Wailace’s promise to balance production with domestic consumption needs.) eee NO PICTURE FOR “SUBS” Photographers assigned to take pictures of the first meeting of the distinguished new national munitions board, composed of five cabinet members, were told they couldn't do that. The reason was that, although Secre- taries Hull and Roper of state and commerce were there, Secretary Morgenthau—being in Europe—had delegated Undersecretary of the Treasury Coolidge, Secretary Dern had delegated General MacArthur, who had delegated Gen. George Simonds, and Secretary Swanson had sent Admiral William Standley. is see NON-POLITICIAN EDGES IN When Robert E. Frear, a Republican from Cincinnati, was appointed to the federal trade commission, a lot was done for the morale of career men in the government who still serve in large numbers here despite the political battles which rage above and about them. The career men were. shown that a non-politician could break through the ranks. At the same time, it was indicated that the administration meant to make an active force of the FTC. Frear came here about 10 years ago from Cincin- nati law practice to join the ICC's valuation staff. He helped Ferdinand Pecora investigate railroad financing, served as an expert with Transportation Coordinator Joe Eastman, and was borrowed this year by Chairman Burt; Wheeler of the senate interstate commerce committee to help on important transportation legislation. . Senator Donahey and several Ohio congressmen joined with Eastman in backing Frear fer FTC. (Copyright, 1935, NEA Service, Inc.) i With Other | DITORS Deep Interest in Football (Valley City Times-Record) That there is and should be a deep interest among college students in the game of football is perhaps a fine thing for everybody concerned, so long as that interest is not allowed to grow so great as to overshadow other things about which the student is supposed to be busy. Colleges were started for the sake of giving youth a good opportunity to study and train his mind. To this objec- tive has been added the very, desirable aim of giving general culture and training as a member of a social group. In recent years the athletic interest has swept into prominence, and has grown until many fhoughtful people are asking whether the athletic coach is not re- garded as of more importance than the president. President Coffman of the University of Minnesota, speaking to his incoming freshman class, takes occasion to point out to the young men that they should keep their sense of proportion regarding athletics and the re- lation which should be maintained between a fascinat- ing sport and the other things the college has to offer. It is probably true that a great many more people can tell off-hand who is coach at Minnesota than can name the president of that school; and there is a vastly greater concern about the ineligibility of a good athlete than there is about the loss of an outstanding teacher. Which is to say that the coach and the player figure much more prominently in the news than do the profes- sors and the president. But these freshmen, if they go on and graduate, are going out into a world in which pretty much the same thing is true. The exciting, the sensational, and the dra- matic aspects of what men do always has received the attention of people; while the quieter but more vitaliy important things must get along with scant notice. The death of a Valentino, or of a cheap and gaudy crooner of the radio, gets 10 times the space in newspapers and 10 times the attention of the public than does the passing of President Eliot of Harvard. What the freshmen need to remember is that after all the shouting and excite- ment are over, the Valentinos are still cheap and gaudy and of little worth, while the Eliots are builders of per- manent foundations on which a better world may be erected. Any freshman who does not learn this in college misses a most important element of an education. And we are persuaded that great hosts of college students are keeping this perspective in spite of the glamor of publicity thrown around the athlete. The hu- man individual, like water, will find his level. President Coffman's word to the freshmen is a wise word, remind- ing them that they go to college for something more im- portant than developing a consuming interest in ath- letics.

For one thing, the issue has a geo- graphical aspect which is certain to play a major, if not a determining, part in party strategy next year. No other factor contributes quite so much to the growing conviction that the Democrats will make their prin- cipal appeal to the west, the Repub- licans to the east. Z Secondly, there is the constitution- al question. It so happens that pub- lic speculation about the forthcoming session of the supreme court centers largely around the cases contesting the validity of AAA. If the court throws out the processing tax, then what? Administration officials will not an- swer that question categorically. But there are signs that they can see no way to patch up AAA under an ad- verse court decision except by a con- stitutional amendment, Whether they would feel the pull- ing power of the farm benefits great — stitutional change must await the event; but all logic indicates at this stage that if an amendment is to be proposed at all, the farm issue will be its vehicle. ee An Established Policy The unique character of the issue becomes apparent only when the present situation is compared with that of other campaign years. In past times farm relief has come in for much political discussion, but the interest has centered largely in 22 Giving cre- dence. 24 You and me. 26 To accomplish. 56 Snare, 27 Corpse.

Now the voters will be considering an estab- lished policy, not a theory, and the interest is nation-wide. On the one hand is the exceptional circumstance that the farm belt is receiving its payments regularly from AAA; a factor which no one would undertake to discount in any elec- tion. On the other hand is the ex- ceptionally bitter resentment which these payments have aroused among some consumers, and among many manufacturers who have to pay the processing tax. The whole situation has such & compelling element about it that it jis no wonder politicians are asking: Can either party hope to carry the agricultural west without being for AAA, and can either party hope to carry the industrial east without be- ing against AAA? * # # Internal AAA Worries The cause for Republican worry is plain, since concededly that party must have some western states if it is to win the election. It should not be supposed, however, that all of the anxiety is on the Re- publican side. Electoral votes do not {grow thickly over the west; simple jmathematics demonstrates the ha- lzards of trying to re-elect Mr. Roo- jsevelt without any eastern help at all. Moreover, some of the large eastern cities long have been Demo- cratic strongholds. Is this advan- itage simply to be abandoned? | Internally, too the AAA has many worries. The increase in food im- ports is not calculated to stir en- |thusiasm in the farm country, and jadministration officials just now are nursing several separate headaches arising over wheat, hogs, cotton and potatoes.

It seems natural with a gfeat many peop! a " cluding myself to feel uneasy unless there is some kind of distress.

Tt was Ollver Wendell Holmes who said that with care chronic bronchitis might prove to be the slight ailment that prolongs longevity. And there you are, equipped right off the bat with a first class disease which should fill the void in your life with great satisfaction. Gives you the right to fuss about your diet, the weather, climate, clothing, household heating, ventilation, your circulation, your sleep, the Townsend plan, exercise, your own tobacco, the horrendous brand your neighbor smokes, the use of alcohol, freak rem- edies and fad systems of treatment, the lax enforcement of traffic ordinances, the wild and ruthless conduct of children who use the sidewalks for bicy- cling, roller skating and other games you don’t play any more, the high cost of medical care, the worthlessness of pills and potions prescribed by phy- sitians and, if you don’t keep one, dogs. Tf you are set on having a diverting disease I can recommend chronic bronchitis, Try it a while and see if it will not serve the purpose. But for good- ness sake don’t have any truck with mucous colitis or with autointoxication _ or with acidosis or with high blood pressure. You'll never get any pleas- ure out of these, and besides, nearly all the old women have fooled with them for years and compared with chronic bronchitis the effects you can get with them are quite limited and stereotyped. Besides, chronic bronchitis is susceptible of a great variety of complications each of which is attended with a set of special symptoms, so that you have to stand on your head or roll sommersaults every morning in May, go north, south or east in November and in general keep every one around you upset, guessing or wishing you would hurry up and get it over with so they can renovate and Tun things in the modern way.’ * QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS is Child Eats Sand «= Two year old daughter craves sand, in fact will eat any kind of soil at (Mrs. K.
