Behind Scenes, Washington | (Tribune Washington Correspandent) Washington, Nov. 29—Only those who know how messy is the relief sit- | uation can realize how messy it really Harry Hopkins knows. So did some of the mayors here for the U. 8. con- ference of mayors. That was why Hopkins, after his speech to them, {pleaded an urgent engagement at the White House and canceled the sched- uled period for questions from the mayors. Half an hour later Hopkins was still in the Mayflower hotel, talking with some friends.

The Chinese Attitude In estimating Japan’s efforts to dominate China, many You just can’t believe anything you hear about relief any more. The highest officials concerned, from President Roosevelt down, are forced to reverse themselves and change tune. But high FERA-WPA officials are privately agreed that there probably will be more desperate suffering among the unemployed this winter than in the last two winters. One recently estimated vaguely that at least half a million familtes would be people are at a loss to account for the reason that a relatively | badly up against it as a result of the small nation can trample underfoot the rights of the most popu- | Roosevelt policy of “quitting this bus- lous nation on earth. Granted that China is backward and poorly organized, the Situation seems an impossible fact until and unless the onlooker acquaints himself with the basic fact that CHINA IS NOT A NATION. In the gays of the Manchu dynasty which ended with abdi- cation of the boy emperor, now Henry Pu Yi, emperor of Man-| chukuo, the Chinese were but a shell of a formerly powerful! race. But their hereditary rulers had proved incapable of main- taining discipline in a vast area. Under the great despotism at Pekin there were a host of little despotisms saddled upon the land. With the coming of the republic these fragments became even more divided. The Nationalist government IS AND AL- WAYS HAS BEEN A JOKE. It has been a mere pretense of national solidity. There are men ruling vast areas in China today who never heard of it or, if they have, care nothing about it. They maintain sway by the force of arms, medieval in char- acter though they may be, and fear of the headsman’s axe. The Chinese people are not Chinese in the same sense of the word that Americans are Americans. They speak at least 60 different languages. Many of them, literally, are still serfs. They have no indepgndent initiative or genius for political organization such as has marked the Nordic races. There is every reason to believe that the Nationalist gov- ernment has, in its way, been a mere agengy for exploitation of the people where and as it has been able to establish its author- ity. The tradition of public office in China has been that it must serve the needs of the incumbent rather than of the people. The nation has produced a few heroes who have been will- ing to sacrifice for the advancement of the nation, but these iness of relief,” while others felt he was too conservative. x eK Prospect Is Tragic Though Roosevelt subsequently has evinced some private concern’ over such possibilities, the prospect is still for a tug of war between federal and state or city governments over re- spective relief responsibilities—in which no one knows how many un- employed, in many areas, will be left holding an empty bag. Roosevelt has promised that relief will continue after July 1, but there's @ problem more immediate than that. Direct federal relief is scheduled to stop for this fiscal year on Dec. 1, by which time it’s still hoped WPA will be employing 3,500,000 persons. By Christmas most states will have depleted the last of their federal re- lief money. Probably there will be a meets. ee * Protest Wave Rises Congressmen, as well as mayors, have begun to protest that cessation ot federal relief now will mean starv- ation for thousands. Mayor Mansfield of Boston, for instance, says at least 12,000 of his “employables” won't be cared for by WPA and that WPA’s full program for Boston will cover fewer persons than the FERA work pro- grams employed from April to August. Some critics have insisted the ad- ministration was asking states to care for nearer 4,000,000 needy persons than the 1,500,000 “unemployables” it estimated. Congressman John Mar- tin of Colorado has estimated 40,000 citizens of Colorado would fall out- side all forms of relief, including work, and Chairman Herbert F. Good- have had no following because the people are incapable of UN-! rich of the Philadelphia county relief derstanding that a man can immolate himself upon the altar of abstract justice. It has had no great poets nor writers to rouse a latent resentment into burning deeds. Add to these considerations the traditional non-aggressive attitude of the Chinese people, their ignorance and their hope- lessness, and it becomes apparent that most of them are little interested in whether they are ruled from Nanking or Tokyo.! Whoever is in the saddle they know they will get a bad deal. The Manchus were conquerors and despots and they have been unused to anything else. As long as they know they must wear @ yoke it makes little difference who places it upon them. Keep those things in mind and it is easy to understand why there has been no real resistance to Japan’s invasion of the Asiatic mainland by the people most affected. Unfortunate Comparison board insists 300,000 of that city’s pop- ulation would “face starvation.” * ee How It All Sums Up relief stew includes: A president who last January said the federal government “must quit this business of relief,” who is anx- ious to proclaim recovery and slash federal relief expenses to the extent that some of his relief subordinates whisper he is “blinded to the prob- lem.” States and cities which refuse to make adequate efforts to care for out. i States and cities which can't make adequate preparations, including those with busted credit, cities whose states won't help them, and cities whose legally circumscribed budgets An admiral in the British navy works under a handicap|sorb the load. not unlike that of a lad who tries to play halfback for the Uni-| , Underlying fact that expanding in- versity of Illinois.

The tongue looks intensely red, as though inflamed, and the normal coat is absent. The papillae cannot be seen. If the nature of the illness is not recognized and the nutritional deficiency cor- rected, the tongue Idter becomes shiny, devoid of coat and papillae, atrophied so that it is actually smaller in size. This is known as bald tongue. At first, the baldness is in spots, but eventually the tongue is entirely bald. Women with this type of anemia (most cases occur in women in their forties) are likely to ascribe the burning sore tongue to irritation by “acid oAtiAl I feeding experiments and Actual clinical experience support the view that “bald” tongue is a manifestation of nutritional deficiency, whether there is marked anemia associated with it or not. In the booklet “Blood and Health” (for copy send 10 cents coin and stamped envelope bearing your ad- dress) I tell all about the iron requirement and how to make up your own iron “tonic,” but I omit to mention the importance of an adequate vitamin ration/in all cases of lied or hypochromic anemia, because this knowl- edge is newer than the booklet. Some investigators seem to feel convinced that bald tongue is due to deficiency of vitamin G alone, while others are inclined to think vitamin B is also concerned, and still others reserve opinion until further study shows whether still other vitamins, especially A and C, may be concerned. ‘Whether the shortage is one vitamin or all, certain it is that a fair daily ration of all the vitamins added as a supplement to the diet corrects the ab- normal condition of the tongue in six or eight weeks. At the same time the vitamin ration appears to benefit materially the patient's general nutrition and metabolism. Introspective individuals sometimes notice the prominence of the v-shaped row of large papillae back on the tongue and imagine that is abnormal. On the contrary, the tongue of @ healthy person should always show those papillae, as well as small: papillae covering the whole ‘upper surface. The tongue should feel rough, not smooth. It should have a moderate whitish or yellowish coat, particularly over the rear half of its upper surface. It should jook as red as the lips, not redder. It should not show indentations or pres- sure marks of the teeth. It should present a somewhat irregular sulcus, fissure or crack down the middle. ‘The best sources of the various vitamins are given, along with other in- formation on the functions of the vitamins in nutrition and prevention of disease, in the booklet “Building Vitality.” For a copy send ten cents coin and a 3-cent-stamped envelope bearing your address. Old time doctors learned much about the patient's condition by in- specting the tongue, even if their lore was largely empiric.

(Chicago Tribune) As we have before observed, cer- tain positive benefits to the public will flow from the administration of the Emergency Railway Act because of the amount of valuable data that is being collected by Coordinator East- man and his staff bearing on the prob- lem of transportation as a whole. Now that these statistics have been sum- marized, Mr. Turney, Mr. Eastman’s former chief of staff, has reached the conclusion that the railways’ principal enemy has not been the unregulated competition of other forms of com- mon carriage but rather the growing transportation. Within a decade, according to Mr. this development has ab- sorbed a full third of the tyaffic that formerly sought railway service.

They had a somewhat less positive identification of the third as Red Jackson himself. oe 8 N° one had seen which direction the car had come from. It had been parked facing the north, but no one, seemingly, had noticed it before it reached the bank. Its route out of town, as traced from the. testimony of a dozen excited citizens, was plainer. The bandits had driven north a block and a half, had turned to the left past the railroad station, had crossed the river by the north bridge, and then had swung up slong the national pike in a general north- westerly direction. ‘This, however, was not so much help as it might have been. For as they collated their telephonic reports from outlying towns, they found no one who had seen any trace of the car in any of the municipalities lying slong the national pike. The car might. have by-passed them by a careful selec- tion of detours; the gangsters might have headed straight for some nearby hideout (although Larry thought this extremely un- likely); or they might simply have passed through those towns without having been noticed. ‘I've a hunch they used an rmored car,” said Larry. ‘“Mc- innis’ evidence points that way, "” asked Larry. although of course it’s far from ya “ 1 conclusive; but on top of that we ete Bee tein inelae 1 ores ergy nent see have good reason to suspect that “That's the man 5 e a lo I missed,” sald Buddy. bad recently acquired one, any: “They've got a wounded man with them.
