At the suggestion of England, the United States and Japan have joined in discussions about fortifications in the Pacific. An agreement on that subject, a part of the Washington 5-5-3 naval treaty of 1922, will expire with this year and Eng- land is anxious to maintain the status quo. She has appealed to Uncle Sam to help her out. This is not a pacifist newspaper—but neither is it jingois- tie. It feels that this section wants both peace and sanity. And sanity throws little light on any reason why we should get excited about Japanese fortifications in the Pacific ocean. Britain, with her far-flung empire and her heavy invest- ments in Asia, has reason to be alarmed. Japanese vessels, operating from naval bases on the islands ceded to Nippon by a League of Nations mandate, could cut her lines of commun- ication much more easily than if the status quo were main- tained. But that reasoning hardly applies to the United States. We have no substantial interest in anything west of Hawaii and that is more than 2,000 miles off our Pacific coast. The Philippines used to be a problem but now that they are free we should rid our minds of them from the military standpoint. If we were going to defend them we should have kept them. The islands now are a separate commonwealth. We are not bound to shed blood or spend money in their defense. As to our trade with the Asiatic mainland, that would be cut off in any event if there were trouble in the Pacific. We could hardly expect to defend trade routes west of Hawaii. The present treaty permits us to fortify Alaska, the Aleu- tian islands, Hawaii and the Canal Zone at our own discretion. No new treaty could take that right away from us. And that is about all we need. On the other hand, fairness must guarantee to Japan the right to protect her own approaches, We have no visible inter- est in stopping her. American diplomacy has been a tail to the British kite long enough. : Friendly cooperation is all well enough, but it might be a good idea for Uncle Sam to concentrate by keeping his nose in his own affairs. We are interested in what goes on in the Pacific, of course, but we can hardly afford to get too inter- ested. We have no intention of fighting a war over there and probably couldn’t do it successfully if we wanted to, so there isn’t any reason why we should get excited about what they do across the water. 2 Ghosts of the Past “Butch” Crowley, one-time beer baron of Joliet, Ill., was shot Tuesday night as he stepped from his 16-cylinder car at his home by two youths and he doesn’t know why. He is out of the rackets, he told police, and has no idea why he should become a target for gangland’s bullets now. ° Police questioned him about “muscling in” on a slot- machine “business” but they may have been wrong. Anyway he denied it. : But it takes little imagination to understand why “Butch” Crowley might be singled out for retribution, even at this late date when repeal of the prohibition law has made the title of _ “beer baron” an anachronism. It is easy to understand that a man who can drive a 16- cylinder car as the result of activities in a shady past cannot and has not wholly divorced himself from that past. The job of being a beer baron doubtless was an exciting oné but it also involved dealings with many men who were outside the law. It is entirely possible, what with the hi-jack- ing and other practices which used to prevail, that some of these relations were not entirely pleasant. On this basis there may atijl be plenty of persons in the world who wish no particular good to Mr. Crowley. Men can retire from the grocery business and not get mysteriously shot afterward. If they were attacked they could honestly say they had no idea as to the cause. But this is hard- ly true in this case. One suspects that Mr. Crowley isn’t tell- ing all he knows. _ The moral is that a crooked past sometimes takes its toll after the person involved has decided to “go straight.” é They're Taught to Do It Probably every American has wondered, now and then, at the peculiar pronunciation and inflection of the average tele- phone operator. _ When the girl at the switchboard repeats your number as “fi-iv, fo-wer, sev-ven” it isn’t a sign of declining culture merely: indication of improved efficiency. It may sound little quaint and gushy, particularly to the susceptible male who may be reminded of the gal who always says “yais” and ‘thinks the telephone girl is trying to flirt with him. _ _ But he needn’t be flattered. That particular appeal which - Most males fancy themselves as having hardly ever exerts it- self over the telephone. The girl who trills her figures is mere- Ty expediting business.

Backed by Liberal Democrats, By RODNEY DUTCHER (Tribune Washington Correspendent) New York, Oct. 8.—Political strug- gles of two European nations and an island in the Caribbean figure in the re-election of Congressman Vito Marc- antonio in New York's Twentieth dis- trict. Not to mention Tammany Hall as a factor. One of the most, if not the most, radical members of congress, Marc- antonio faces a hard fight. He is the man who last winter forced a partial investigation of the silicosis mass tragedy in West Virginia, which caused considerable horror around the coun- try for a while, Early this year he was arrested for trying to lead a parade of relief workers in New York. In Washington he has fought to prevent soldier bonus recipients from being barred from relief rolls, for conscription of war profits and strict neutrality legislation, for the holding company bill, for “soak the rich” tax- ation, and for civil liberties. Large populations of Italian-Amer- icans and Spanish-Americans reside in the tough Harlem district which this vigorous 33-year-old fighter rep- resents. Which means that both the Fascist and anti-Fascist battle and the Spanish revolution are being fought, in a small way, in Marc- antonio’s bailiwick. Marcantonio is against the Fascists both times and they're against him and it is all very bitter. Marcantonio is the Republican nominee. ** *% Opposed by Tammanyite His Democratic opponent is James J. Lanzetta, Tammany candidate and admirer of Mussolini. But several prominent liberal Democrats are out for Marcantonio—including his friend Congressman Maury Maverick of Texas, who will make a speech for him—where conservative Republicans ir many cases support Lanzetta. An even stronger reminder of European political alignments, in this district where candidates usually travel with bodyguards, is the fact that Marcantonio is not only the can- didate of the Republicans and the All People’s Party, but also of the People's Front—all three parties ap- pearing on the ballot. Marcantonio is not supporting Roosevelt—or Landon, fomthat mat- ter—and the administration isn’t supporting Marcantonio. But, unlike Roosevelt, he isn’t repudiating Com- munist support and seeks all the radical votes he can get. A while ago there was a big Fascist celebration in the district and Marc- antonio bought tickets for 50 of his huskier supporters. He walked in un- announced and the 50 led off the chorus of “Viva Marcantonio!” “Mr. Marcantonio,” cried the chair- man, “why you come here?” “I come to make a speech!” replied the congressman and so many people yelled “Viva Marcantonio!” that they had to let him make a spev:h. He says he gained many votes that pian Anyway, he escaped with his le. *x* ek * Puerto Rico in Picture Running on the All People’s Party ticket with Marcantonio is Angelo Herndon, a colored Communist sen- tenced to 20 years‘on a chain gang for circulating Communist propaganda in violation of an old state anti-sedi- tion law. The slogan is: “Keep Hern- don out of jail by electing him to the assembly.” The Caribbean comes into the Twentieth district picture by virtue of the fact that there are thousands of resident Puerto Rican voters whose Support is sought by Lanzetta and Marcantonio, Marcantonio recently made a spec- tacular airplane trip to Puerto Rico to appear as legal counsel for Albizu Campos, eccentric agitator for the island’s independence) who was charged with sedition. Subsequently, the congressman charges, big Puerto Rican sugar inter- ests have been putting money into the campaign to defeat him. eee Gets LaGuardia’s Aid Marcantonio was campaign man- ager for Fiorello H. LaGuardia when the latter ran for congress in 1932. and subsequently won LaGuardia’s old seat when “the Little Flower” was elected mayor. since, but LaGuardia is now coming out for his former young friend and: will even make a speech for him. Many of the congressman’s good friends think he 1s too radical, but he is probably the most independent member of the house, as well as one of the most courageous and colorful —which means that he sometimes is one of the most valuable. Meanwhile, -there’s no other con- gressional district in the United States where the clash of foreign “ismis” echoes quite so clearly, or the American “melting pot” simmers 50 noticeably.

THE BISMARCK Looking at the Campaign “David Lawrence Oklahoma City, Okla., Oct. 8. — President Roosevelt will carry Okla- homa by a substantial margin.

I had an opportunity to talk with representative men in the community and while I found that Governor Landon has a great many friends and supporters, the revolt of the anti- ment than can be visualized by the mere mention of figures. For about $364,812,000 has been sent into Okla- homa, of which about $100,000,000 is for grants and subsidies. The Dem- ocratic state central committee boasts about all this and has gotten out.a manual for speakers showing exactly how much has been spent in each’ and every county in the state.

Mr. Lee is an \interesting campaigner and in a re- |cent speech he frankly mentioned in- creased taxes. He said: “I am aware that the critics of this administration are pointing out that all of this money will have to be raised by taxes. That is true. But it will not have to be raised by ad va- Jorem taxes. It will be raised by in- come taxes, inheritance taxes, taxes on intangible securities and even sales jtaxes. This is taking money from ,thgse most able to’ pay and aiding’ those most in need and is not distri- jbution of wealth the thing most needed at the present time? And is ;not this’ form of redistribution the purpose and duty of government? And is not this the underlying principle of the Democratic: faith?” It. is fortunate for Mr. Lee that he isn’t running in a state that has had @ heavy sales’ tax, because very few men who have sponsored such taxes get re-elected.

Pattinson and other det, favor dental caries or decay of the too much phosphorus, Instead of bread, porridge or other cereals he recommends a moderate amount of carbohy- drates in the form of milk, jam, sugar, potatoes and vegetables. Dr. E, V. McCollum thinks the average American diet 1s likely to have too little calcium, too much phosphorus in proportion to the calcium, too Uttle vitamin A, too little vitamin D, and in some cases too little C and G. The Mellanbys hold that whereas vitamin D is mainly responsible for the calcifying process in teeth and jaw bone, vitamin A controls the de- velopment of the epithelium of the gums. Edward Mellanby says in his book .“Nutrition and Disease” (Oliver and Boyd, London, ’34): “It is probable that cereals also play a part in inducing the defective formation of the epithelium and the tendency to pyorrhes.” It would seem that the diet best calculated to prevent decay of the teeh is one rich in calcium, rich in vita- mins D, C, A, G, and nearly or quite deprived of cereals—the carbohydrate being supplied rather in the form of milk (lactose, milk, sugar), potato, vegetables, sugar, ice cream, syrups, jams, candy.

E.) Answer—I do not advise the use of mineral oil preparations in that way. Rather a bland vegetable oil should be used, and I suggest two or three drops of condol dropped in each nostril three or four times a day, for any such acute cri, especially where there is much cough and irritation when the child lies down. , The special dropper in the vial of condol drops is convenient for this purpose.
