Its duty is fulfilled when it gives them, to the best of its ability, such information as it and the services which it employs for that purpose can glean. But the letter signed “Observer” appearing in this issue expresses thoughts which are entertained by so many people regarding developments in Russia that it seems right to pur- sue the subject a little further. The letter in question challenges a recent editorial which asserted that “the difference between Germany and Russia, The letter then goes on to for example, is exactly nothing.” discuss some real and fancied differences. What the editorial expressed was a belief that, in so far as the lot of the average man is concerned, the political dif- ference between Hitler’s regime in Germany and that of Stalin in Russia is exactly nothing.

Germany is excluding its Jewish men of learning; Russia is excluding those who do not agree with Communist political doctrines. Mass education goes forward in Germany just as in Russia—and on a higher plane—but toward the ends sought by the rule in both places it is directed rs of the state rather than to freedom of thought and initiative on the part of the people. No nation controlled by a dictator is a democracy. If democracy comes consciously working toward to either nation it will be through the overthrow of present dictators. “Russia is attempting to abolish all class lines,” says Ob- server, yet the only voters in Russia’s population of 150,900,000 are the 2,000,000 members of the Communist party. Others have no voice in the government. In Germany it is the Nazis who rule—and it is easier to win aci by the former. ceptance by the latter than The economic aim of each government is the same, to im- prove the status of its people. Eve n dictators want their sub- jects to be happy, or at least content. Russia and Germany both have powerful armies and each maintains the same sort of discipline, for without discipline armies become rabbles. Russia makes a pretense of democracy in her army, Germany doesn’t. The effect is the same. “Russia,” says Observer, “is a force for peace,” yet the Communists are maintaining paid agitators in other countries, many of them in America. least one is located in Bismarck.

That is, people are of their desire for a particular kind There is a vast amount of assigned to jobs regardless of work aid the wages are so low that an American WPA worker is a plutocrat beside them. Nearly everyone has some sort of job assigned him but it doesn’t mean that he is making a decent living according to the lowest American standards. Few of the Russians are. Germany is using much the same system with her con- centration camps. Translate labor into living standards and conditions are about the same in Russia as in Germany. In fact the German standard still is much the higher. All too often the answer to statements about the beauty of the Soviet system is that those who like it should go there. That, of course, means nothing. But an honest comparison of that in Russia means a great deal. the American scene with If a man came down from Mars and looked the two conditions over he would choose America. If, in addition to impartiality he had a tradition of freedom |? and independence he would make doubly sure that he chose this country. Life under a dictatorship may differ in its details but the essential result is the same.

Behind the Scenes Washington Need of «+.» Death Takes Heavy Toll in Anti-New Deal Ranks. : By RODNEY DUTCHER (Tribune Washington Correspondent) Washington, April 30—Jim Farley is making some extraordinarily low genuflections to the fallacious old election-year slogan which says: “AS Maine goes, so goes the nation. These have had the immediate ef- fect of causing Congressman Edward C. Moran to announce in disgust that he won't stand for re-election. And Moran's withdrawal is causing con- cern in the administration, because he is regarded as the outstanding pro- gressive in Maine, as distinguished from the old-line party politicians whose chief concern is the gravy boat: Maine elects a. governor, a senator, and three representatives in Septem- ber, two months before the presidn- tial ballot. Politicians always watch the result closely as a barometer of voter sentiment. Some believe the psychological ef- fect is important on the nation. * oe * Brann in Senate Race Gov. Louis Jefferson Brann, an an- ti-New Deal Democrat, led the ticket in 1932. He is generally unpopular in Washington, thanks to his criti- cisms of the administration and friendliness to power interests. But Farley is convinced thet Brann. is a great vote-getter and that it’s essential he be on the ticket if the Democrats are to poll a large Septem- ber vote. Conversations between Farley and Brann were followed by Brann’s an- nouncement of candidacy for the sen- ate. They were also followed by the firing of James Connellan as state dierctor of the National Emergency Council. Conneéllan is wyer and @ close friend of Moran. As NEC director, Connellan watch- ed all the New Deal agencies in Maine. He sent down the first re- ports of relief irregularities which subsequently caused the indictment of 14 officials on charges such as bribery and corruption. John McDonough, ex-state ERA di- rector, now under indictment for con- spiracy, was recommended by Brann for WPA state administrator. * * * After WPA Chief's Scalp | Connellan was first asked to quit, as a result of the Brann-Farley un- derstanding. He refused, so his pay recently was stopped. The Brann forces are now said to be after Siate WPA Administrator Albert Abrahamn- son, who started WPA without the old crowd and with Moran’s help has tried to keep it non-political. Harry Hopkins to date is standing squarely behind Abraliamson. Farley's men in Washington are try- ing to make Moran reconsider, but he refuses to sit on ‘the same plat- form or run on the same ticket with Brann. Moran's chief distinction in Wash- ington, aside from. the important part he took in the fight for the holding company act, is for the lead- ing r he played in defeat of the Bland-Copeland ship subsidy bill of last year. * * * Claques for F. R. You may be sure that in future au- diences to which President Roosevcit; speaks certain persons will be plantr ed whose business will be to see that the applause is all it should be in the proper places. At Baltimore the other night, with 15,000 Democrats present, enthusiasm was painfully tepid at points in the president’s speech where he obviously expected less temperate outburst. It was @ conservative audience, perhaps still under the spell of the late anti- New Deal ex-Governor Ritchie, and the Young Democrats, who put on the show, had neglected what older po- liticians would have considered one of the most important “arrange- ments.” Applause was notably sparse at 8. high point when Roosevelt called for shorter working hours in industry to boost re-employment. xk * Death Takes New Deal Foes If any more outstanding New Deal opponents die, you can expect the de- velopment of a full-fledged legend akin to the one about King Tut's curse, for one already begins to hear whisperings of it. Ritchie's death was a large loss to Roosevelt's conservative Democratic foes and assured the president Mary- land's delegation at the nominating convention. Other conspicuous deaths among anti-New Dealers have been those of Senator Huey Long, the threat of whose probable third party candidacy was taken very seriously by Roosevelt; Senator Tom Schall of Minnesota, next to Long the: most vio- lent critic of the administration in congress; and James Montgomery Beck, vocally the outstanding New Deal enemy among lawyers.

MAN IS AN ANIMAL OF FEEBLE INSTINCTS ‘When you come to think of it, isn’t it strange that of all animals having their own choice of food man alone commonly eats too much? Domesti- cated animals must eat what they are fed, but wild animals do not grow fat even when food is plentiful, except species that hibernate. There is no longer any point to the plea so often made by the corpulent that “Really I'm a small eater—I’m sure I don’t eat nearly so much as my sister who hasn’t an ounce of superfluous flesh!” A physician who treated many cases of overweight took a number of stout “small eaters” at their word, placed them in hospital under supervision, allowed them to continue their ordinary diet for several days, and found that invariably they consum- ed more calories than should be required to maintain a normal person, Even in recognized types of obesity attributed to deficient pituitary or thyroid function it is still true, I believe, that the patient has acquired the saperfluous flesh by eating too much. This does not imply that the hypo- pituitary patient or the hypothyroid patient requires no other treatment than correction of diet; ductless gland of hormone treatment may. be equally necessary to remedy other troubles from which such patients suf- fer, though diet adjustment alone will certainly correct the obesity, Why is it that so many individuals who have unrestricted choice of food, who do not hibernate and never have to withstand famine habitually overeat and drift into a state of nutritional obesity which shortens life? It seems to me this is due to feeble instinct. The demand of the body for nutriment makes the individual eat, If the essential materials are present in the food consumed, the individual will naturally stop eating when he has had enough—enough to supply the requirements of growth and repair, energy and warmth. Instinct tells the wild animal what to eat and when to stop exving. Man’s appetite, taste, craving and hunger fail him in this respect. Yet one wonders whether wild animals would ignore a plentiful supply of pure foods which happened to be poor in minerals and vitamins, for instance, and turn away to hunt or fight for food which is naturally rich in these essentials. . From wide professional experience and special study of nutrition a colleague of mine pustulated that an individual eats too much when his food is deficient in vitamins and minerals. If the diet is deficient in this respect, the individual craves more food, consumes more (the food being pure, refined and largely deprived of vitamins and minerals which were present in the crude source), accumulates excess flesh, and still suffers from malnutrition, and subnormal health. Correct or adjust the diet so that adequate proportions of vitamins and minerals will be retained, or supple- ment the ordinary food with liberal daily rations of vitamins and minerals, and soon the individual finds his craving, appetite, taste or hunger is satis- fied with less food than he has hitherto required Reduction then becomes easy and natural, provided one is content to dwindle that way.

Perhaps Miss Bourne didn’t care for the idea of going across the tracks to the Gardiner home for supper. Linda didn’t think of that or of Pete’s mother until much later that day. Dix was coming! eee T was nearly 5 when Dix came. His roadster roared into the drive and, through the curtains, Linda saw him glance at his wrist-watch before he raised the knocker. “Hello,” she said in just the tone she had always said hello to him before, but embarrassment had fallen on him.

And then Linda knew there was only one thing in the world she wanted at that moment and that was to seo Pete's mother. She was ashamed of her behavior, but her desire was stronger than that and she hastened her steps until she came to a drug store. Quickly, she turned the pages of the tele- phone directory until she came to his name and found the address.
