Senator Borah’s Views Some idea of the reason American business shivers when- ever Senator Borah is mentioned as a candidate for the presi- dency may be obtained from his ideas, expressed in the current fissue of Collier’s Weekly. In it Senator Borah discusses the farm situation, opposing *regimentation,” demanding the home markets and a higher Standard of living and insisting on breaking the monopolies which he insists are strangling American progress. Most farmers will agree with some of his views; only a few will not agree with any. That a majority will support his ideas of unrestricted pro- @uction, particularly in view of his admission that we can hardly expect to regain foreign markets for foodstuffs, is doubtful. ‘ Discussing the major dislocations of our economic struc- ture, Borah blames capitalism for its own troubles. His views @re summed up as follows: “If capitalism is going to insist upon a code of conduct free from all principles of fair and honest dealing, if it is going to insist that the creed of the underworld, where cunning and deceit and ruth- lessness and finally extermination are recognized as the law of life, we must be prepared to meet the question of state Socialism or even Communism. th “I venture to prophesy that the people will not indefinitely per- mit private interests to fix prices either directly or indirectly. If they are to be fixed they will be fixed by public authority. - “If capitalism has nothing to say in the way of a more equitable distribution of the earnings of capitalism, if it is going to insist that widespread poverty in the midst of incalculable wealth, that denial of comforts and conveniences of the modern world for the majority of peoplé are natural and inevitable, then capitalism must be pre- pared to fight for its very existence.” Which, frankly, means that Borah would be another reform president. His ideas may be a little different but his aim ‘would be:the same as that of the New Deal to which the Repub- lican party presumably is opposed. é The fact that there is much truth in what he says is cold comfort to party leaders, They are intent on fitting their own answers to the problem. As between Borah and Roosevelt they * Would have practically no choice. On this basis it is safe to say that Senator Borah will not be the Republican candidate. Neither will any other man who holds such views. 1 ’ The Joust With Nature One of the benefits of current governmental activities, re- marks the Magazine of Wall Street, is the work which has been done to discipline, correct, improve and subject nature to better serve the needs of the nation as a whole. It bewails the cost but admits that most of the money has been well spent and will result, in the long run, in improving economic conditions by reducing the waste of natural resources. Most important, significantly, is the war against soil de- _ struction by wind and water erosion, according to this voice of ‘America’s financial interests. After mentioning the battle which has been launched against destruction of topsoil by wind erosion, the magazine asserts: : “Already innumerable dams, dikes, canals and stream diversions have been built to restrain destructive waters; thousands of channels have been cleared; a million acres of cut-over land particularly, have been cleared of debris or planted to forests, and thousands of reser- voirs have been created. Thousands of farms are being bought and abandoned to the wild. Lakes and marshes are being restored and some ten million acres of land are being returned to wilderness and wild life. Millions of acres of land—the ultimate goal is 223,000,000— are being purchased and turned over to forest reservations. The forests have been criss-crossed with fire lanes, roads and trails, the grandiose forest shelter belt is rising on the great plains from Texas to Canada. Not less than 500,000 people will be removed from their purchased barren farms and placed where they can earn their living without destroying the land or preventing its best use.” Its reaction to the entire scheme is summed up in the fol- fowing words: i “Nothing but a great national crisis could have plunged the na- tion into such a stupendous program of public conservation of natural Tesources and the concurrent task of multitudinous building. Every cloud has a silver lining and one such lining, at least, of the billions that have been poured out in these frantic years is the safeguarding of the resources upon which the nation rests.” These expressions are interesting to the west. We long have known that definite action was necessary if America were not, eventually, to become a wind-blown, parched and niggardly Jand like China is today. The fact that finance and industry, which usually are too occupied with their own affairs to notice agriculture, also are beginning to see the light, is encouraging. Good Window Dressing Isadore (Kid Cann) Blumenfeld was handcuffed and shackled when brought into court at Minneapolis to answer charges of murdering Walter Liggett, militant publisher. The design, apparently, was to make an impression on the good burghers of the Mill City who.are indignantly demanding action to clean up the town. But it is window dressing and nothing more. Since he has been in jail, Cann has sent out for all his meals. He has been something of a pampered pet around the Minne- apolis jail. Add to this the fact that the authorities there were obvi- ously reluctant to file charges against him and the further fact that he led a gang of hoodlums who beat up Liggett several months before the shooting but was never prosecuted, and it becomes easy to believe that there is little disposition on the part of Minneapolis officials to cause-him real discomfort. His civic purity will be all the more marked for the absence of shackles after the prosecutors have gone through the motions ‘of a trial and obtained his acquittal, for the odds are a thousand ia 4o one against conviction under the circumstances as they are Hegte to etiat. 5. Sot Behind Scenes Dutcher Tells What Senate Munitions Probe Has Revealed. By RODNEY DUTCHER | (fcibune Washington Correspondent) Washington, Jan. 25.—The story placed upon the records by the sen- ate munitions committee since the Morgan partners appeared before it has been blurred and obscured— partly by its complexity and the dif- ficulty of reporting it from day to day, partly by interjection of side issues, and finally by the furore cre- ated through the attempt to kill off the committee by denying it further funds. To summarize the case and clarify the situation, here are the high spots the investigation disclosures, based mostly on documents held secret until now: Secretary of °State William Jen- nings Bryan, asserting that “money is the worst form of contraband,” embargoed loans and credits to bel- ligerents at the outset of the war. Morgan & Co., which admitted to the committee its complete sympathy for the Allies, undertook to arrange credits for Germany's foes. Robert Lansing, as acting secretary of state, conferred with President Wilson the night of Oct. 23, 1914, and was told that Wilson differentiated between loans and credits, but that these views must be conveyed as Lansing’s, not his. The bankers got this word and Mor- gan and National City bank promptly arranged a $10,000,000 credit for France. . The Morgans deny they brought pressure, but this was the ‘camel's nose” with which America began to provide the financial as well as ma- terial sinews for the Allies. ee * . Morgan Saves Order In 1916 the House of Morgan dis- suaded England from canceling $55,- 000,000 in contracts for American “|rifles, upon Morgan’s warning that cancellation would cut off further American financing for the Allies. Morgan, who handled three billion dollars of Allied war orders for 900 industrial concerns, admitted war orders swung the popular mind to un- neutral trends. Morgan stopped the pound sterling Aug. 15, 1915. Treasury Secretary McAdoo, after conferring with Morgan Partner H. P. Davison as to resultant dangers to American war trade urged on Wilson the argument of Davison only by large American war loans. Wilson, again reversing neutrality policy, replied that he wouldn’t in- terfere with such a loan, but that put in writing. Arrangements for the first big $500,000,000 Anglo- French loan began promptly. Morgan partners heatedly denied that they had unpegged the pound senators failed to prove they did, suing exchange panic had Wilson to shift ground. x * * Clark Hits Sub Argument Senator Bennett Clark of Missouri sought to explode the Morgan in- sistence that unrestricted German submarine warfare, solely, forced the United States into war, by showing |! that America’s statesmen could have dissuaded Germany if they hadn't fumbled and feared to interfere with the war boom over here.

Con- Germany insisted that Wilson make the Allies stop arming merchantmen. ‘Wilson and Lansing; piqued by con- tinued Allied defiance, of their pro- tests against violations of interna- tional law, agreed it would be unfair to expect Germany to order her sub- marines to rise to the surface for “search and seizure” if that were go- ing to mean that the subs would be sunk at once by armed merchant ships. Wilson and Lansing evolved a plan by which the Allies would disarm merchantmen and eal gerd wma stop torpedoing merchant ips - out warning. Meanwhile, Chairman Stone of the senate foreign relations committee was favoring the Gore- McLemore resolution to forbid Ameri- ligerent ships. Wilson undertook to dissuade him, in a public letter. * 4% Lansing Feared Criticism Lansing persuaded Wilson that their plan to solve the submarine problem should be shown to the Al- lies, but not to the ceneral powers, because, Lansing explained he was sure Germany would agree, whereas refusal by the Allies, if it became known, would <‘arouse adverse criti- cism in the press of this country and excite resentment against the en: tente powers, which seems to be grow- ing from day to day.’ Lord Grey’s memoirs assert the Allies would have had to accede to any American demand, because they were so dependent on this country for supplies. But Colonel House urged the submarine plan be held in abeyance. Ambassador Girard at Berlin re- ported that Wilson’s letter to Stone had convinced the Germans that a secret Anglo-American understand- ing existed and that “nothing can be arranged.” . Both the British and the French finally refused to accept the sub- marine-merchantman proposal and it was dropped.

Several weeks after Scott took the new’ quarters she entered tel- surely. The lobby was well-filled. An extremely busy-looking young woman sat at 8 mahogany desk. “Is Dr. Stanley int” The young woman, who was evi: dently looking up a case history in the files near the desk, scarcely glanced up. 4 “There are several. ahead of you,” she said. “Will you wait?” “I'll come back,” Dana answered. At the door she turned. She had come downtown for this particular purpose. Perhaps it wouldn't be very long before Scott could see her, The girl at the desk had evi- dently forgotten Dana, She was giving some information to a man and woman who had just come in. This office assistant had an ab rupt manner, She wasn’t at all like Miss Lee, who was sweet and gracious, and who had married. Dana crossed to a seat near the desk and picked up a discarded magazine. The girl was still talk- ing to the man and woman, The telephone interrupted and she an- swered briskly. “I did deliver your message, Miss Long. 1 expect he’s been too busy to call. I’m sorry.” She hung up the receiver vi- clously. Dana’s startled face, close by, came within her range of vi- sion. Instantly, the frown was erased and the girl smiled, mur muring apologetically. “I try to be patient, but this par ticular person is so trying. Always calling when there’s no good rea- son for {t, And she never can un- derstand why a doctor ts too busy to talk to her. “I don’t believe 1 have your uame,” the girl went on, “Weren't you waiting to see one of the doo tors? “I’ve decided not to wait,” Dana said. eee HE was a little ashamed of her resentment. Of course Scott coutdn’t help Paula calling him. Or could’ he? Couldn't he make it clear that social calls were out during office hours? Your Personal Health By William Brady, M. D. Dr. Brady will anawer questions pertaining to health it not disease or ‘lagnosis. “Write Yotters briefly and in Ink, Address Dr. Brady in care of The Tribune. All queries must be accompani: bya stamped, self-addressed envelope. Earlier this week I quoted Dr.’Osler’s view of arteriosclerosig, the doctor’s- bible, Osler’s Practice ‘of Medicine, published Elsner’s view (as given in the classical Vol. VI Prognosis, published in 1916), The Oslerian picture arteries, representative of the best medical knowledge more or less traditional though painted in the interesting William was famous, The Elsnerian conception of the nature of sclerosis represented advance of medical knowledge in the decade. Osler regarded heredity as @ most important cause, and assumed that persons who develop hardening of the arteries early in life inherited some material in the poor “vital rubber.” He also emphasized “wear and tear’ or “bad use.” Elsner regarded arteriosclerosis as @ progressive NUTRI- TIONAL disturbance of the arterial wall, pointed out that it begins in the intima or delicate lining of the artery, and spoke of MALNUTRITION and starvation of the arterial tissues. Today, I infer from data I come across here and there in current medi- cal literature and medical society chatter (though it is not yet included in standard medical books), the metabolic or nutritional nature of arterioscler- osis is gaining recognition. Authorities on nutrition believe that a moderate shortage of vitamins, particularly G, favors premature old age. Recently one of the first scientists to isolate vitamin C, advanced the view that shortage of this vitamin is @ cause of arteriosclerosis. A period of hypertension (high blood pressure) precedes development of manifest signs of hardening of the arteries in most cases; this is often accompanied with lowering of sugar tol- erance (that is, incapacity to utilize or assimilate carbohydrate food normally without excreting sugar in urine) and with overweight, all of which tend to improve or disappear when the patient receives an optional vitamin ration— more vitamins than may be necessary to maintain a normal person at the highest level of nutrition and health. Haven’t said a word yet about minerals. And that’s enough. If the vitamin ration is right, the mineral metabolism is bound to be right. The vitamins control and regulate the assimilation and utilization of minerals in the body. So don’t bother or worry about mineral food. If your diet in- cludes a sufficient amount of the corrective protective foods it is bound to furnish all the minerals the body needs. Hold your horses and keep your sub- scription paid up, and I'll hand you the menu of the corrective protective diet pretty soon. It is an important part of this regeneration regime I keep harping about, and you old geeters, particularly you who begin to be old at thirty, forty or fifty, had better hear what I have to say about this. I'm no Ponce de Leon, but then, remember, I’ve been dabbling in this study of longevity, health and nutrition for years and in a way I’m an expert on the subject—no cracks about my hair, if you please, unless you are prepared to compare teeth, arteries and resiliency with me. Anyway, there are a lot of things we didn’t know when I was a boy. So you young readers should do as I say and never mind what I did.

But there’s something I’ve got to say.” \ “Please don’t say it, Ronnie.” “Yes!
