New Path to Peace If America’s trade with foreign countries improves in the next few months considerable credit can be given the monetary agreement between this country, France and England which ‘was reached to help France stabilize the franc, according to leading business commentators who have studied the situation. Right now the United States treasury holds about 11 billion dollars in gold, or more than half the world’s supply. It has purchased it at $35 an ounce and this nation is now the only one with a fixed price for gold. : This top-heavy condition has worried business for some time but, at the same time, it has put this nation in position to lead in efforts toward monetary stabilization and to establish the dollar as the key currency of the world. It is expected that trade advantages would naturally ensue if this condition is brought about. Money is not only the root of all evil, as the moralists tell us, it is one of the most intricate and difficult subjects known. ‘As a result, if people can agree about that they will find it easier to agree about other things. Probably the greatest incentive toward war has been the handicaps imposed on trade by the spirit of nationalism in all countries. This has found one of its chief sources of expression in the desire to become economically self-sufficient. Improvement in world trade may reverse this tendency and bring about a marked improvement in international. relations. It is hard to hate a man whom you meet on the friendly ground of business relationship. . On this basis our possession of a tremendous gold reserve and our pre-eminent position in the field of international finance may yet permit us to make a substantial contribution to the “ cause of world peace.’ ‘ A Service to Everybody Clyde Pangborn and his fellows who plan to ferry an air- ship to Europe soon, deserve a vote of thanks from the Ameri- tan public. Time was when a transatlantic flight was real news. The 1 first crossing of Brown and Alcock in 1919 remains the greatest achievement. That of Lindbergh over half a decade later was a sensation. Some of the later crossings were worthy of note. But of late transatlantic flights have gotten to be some- thing of a chestnut. The latest one, that of a night club singer, a was a burlesque on the daring ,of those who had essayed the i trip in earlier days. It was made to gain cheap notoriety but it served a far more useful purpose. It demonstrated that any nitwit can fly across the ocean if he has a good plane and a rea- sonable amount of luck. In the last few years every aviator who’ wanted a lot of publicity has announced his decision to fly across the Atlantic. In some cases the efforts have had the backing of foreign coun- tries which wished to attract attention or which wanted to stir up national enthusiasm. Now Pangborn and his friends introduce the next step in transatlantic flying. They go about the job as a matter of course, and when a thing falls into that category it ceases to be news. 5 It will not be long before the only mention of a transatlan- tic flier will come if he happens not to make it. Heaven speed the day.

The chief cause of both agricultural imports, of which farmers complain, and of the high prices, of which city dwellers complain, is the lack of production on our farms, I Recently the bureau of agricultural economics issued some a figures on agricultural imports which show an increase of 693.9 ; per cent in butter, 55.7 per cent in canned beef, 77.7 per cent in 4 tallow, 173.6 per cent in wool, 144.9 per cent in wheat and 174.3 j per cent in Perilla oil. ; Proof that the remedy for this condition is not political but * ~ that it lies in increased production, is seen in the fact that of these six items none but wheat has been affected by a govern- ment crop-limitation program. No program ever was adopted for meat animals and dairy products. In fact, there has been some contention by cattle and dairy men that the adjustment programs would do them harm by driving acres away from _ wheat and corn and into competition with them. Politicians can be forgiven for getting excited in the heat of a ¢ampaign but that is no reason why the people who are _ dependent on farm prosperity should overlook the basic facts. “Modern women are timid.” It is only a boorish rebel who will sidle up and say “boo!” to an armed loyalist woman. | A skeleton was found high in a tree at Portland, Ore.

By RODNEY DUTCHER (Tribune Washington Correspondent) Indianapolis, Oct. 23. — Indiana, where politics is a profession for many and a hobby for all, may give its 14 electoral votes to Landon. But it ts practically impossible to find any astute, well-informed person in In- Aanapolis who will make that predic- ion. A big reason for almost general an- ticipation of a Roosevelt victory is the expected repudiation by 50,000 or more Negro voters of a Republican Yeadership which a few years ago made open alliance with the Ku Klux Klan, The Negro vote always has been the chief basis of what came to be con- sidered more or less normal Republi- can majorities in Indianapolis. This year most of the colored voters are getting ready to vote for Roosevelt and the state G. O. P. is engaged in a desperate but apparently vain effort to wean them back. One reason Indiana may still be classed as doubtful is found in the fact that you never know just how dirty its campaign will be until it’s all over. Gov. Paul McNutt’s Democratic machine is openly assessing state job- holders for campaign funds and Re- publican whispering campaigns seem a bit weirder than in other states, ** * Lines Sharply Drawn But the essentials of the situation are obvious. Insofar as the presi- dential ‘contest goes, an Old Guard Republican machine is opposing a Pro-Roosevelt mass movement which draws its strength from the sensing and feeling of the poor, The Republicans find anti-New Deal sentiment strong among farm- ers, business men, and many conserv- ative Democrats. But Roosevelt is proving to have a solid bulwark of Strength among laboring men in the industrial centers, among those on re- Mef—and among the Negroes. ‘That's why veteran political writers who have toured the state are pre- dicting a victory for Roosevelt by 50,- 000 or more, but not necessarily for the Democratic state ticket. Ex-Senator Jim Watson, despite mistaken reports from your corre- spondent and others in the past, is still the most powerful Republican in Indiana. A sort of a “young guard,” which has rallied around Watson, has at least nominal control of the party. ee % ‘Knifing’ Rumors Heard Watson isn’t fond of Landon. The Landonites weren't very respectful to him at the Cleveland convention. Reports that Landon is being traded down the river for support of the G. O. P. candidate for governor can- not be confirmed, although there's more Republican effort in the guber- natorial fight than in the presidential contest. The old hard-hitting Republican machine has disintegrated 'consider- ably under Democratic rule. But a large army of enthusiastic volunteers, led by professionals ‘who have been away from the feedbx six years, has been extremely active. They find that the “waste and ex- travagance” issue is the most potent one against Roosevelt, especially in rural areas, eos * Springer Fights Hard Raymond Springer, first state com- mander of the American Legion, is the Republican candidate for gover- nor. Tireless campaigner and hand- shaker, he says he can end McNutt’s unpopular “gross income” tax by economies and elimination of alleged beer graft. His opponent, handpicked by Mc- Nutt, is Lieut-Gov. M. Clifford Townsend, a Grant county farmer experienced in politics. ‘The “gross income” tax taps prac- tically everyone who receives money for services or goods and amounts to a disguised sales tax, which hits the consumer first as an earner, then as @ buyer. The proceeds of about $16,- 000,000 a year go for education. * * * McNutt Is Issue Himself Platinum-haired McNutt is a big issue all by himself. He admits that a star of destiny is leading him to- ward the White House as a 1940 can- didate. A leader, a fighter, an astute politician, a brillant orator, and dic- tatorial boss over a ruthless political machine, he has built up a nation- wide network of contacts as governor, as one-time national commander of the American Legion, and former dean of the Indiana University School of Law. i Rumors that McNutt would be giv- en the War Department or another cabinet post have been current in In- dianapolis, but are not confirmed by anything this writer has heard in Washington. MeNutt’s critics often refer to him as a “man on horseback” and many confidently expect him to appear prominently in any Fascist movement which gets going in America. * Angle for Veteran Vote McNutt and his followers decided, after he ran as strongly as Roosevelt in 1932, that McNutt would gain strength in the state while Roosevelt would lose. So they separated the state and national ballots. Now states of the switch in the Negro seek out some of the Negro leaders trend and the underlying reasons for situation and trying desperately to it is hardly separable from the s0- croppings of radicalism from the Ne- gro leaders continue, the impression editor and publisher of the Pitts- The Daily Eye-Opener in Europe | ~ Your Personal Health By William Brady, M.

Remember, we are dealing with hygiene and the prevention The treatment of piles is something else. How important toilet is in the prevention of piles it is difficult to say. However, it is an excellent rule to follow, as as. possible, the habit of using soap and water bathing instead of paper, and after the surface is quite dry perhaps an application of plain talcum or borated talcum to prevent irritation or chapping. The soap and water washing may be done with tepid or warm water, but the rinsing should be done with cold water. Clothing is usually too warm and too impervious to access of air. The less clothing or covering over the region of the perineum the more health- ful, as a rule, Superfluous covering not only tends to cause relaxation of the tissues but favors irritation and inflammation. Air if not sunlight tends to prevent such ill effects. Two mistakes are too commonly made, and sometimes have unhappy consequences: First, the sufferer assumes his trouble is piles and tr! some remedy without benefit of physician. Second, the patient complains of his trouble to a physician who assumes the trouble is piles without mak- ing an examination, : Looking at the Campaign burgh Courier, largest Negro weekly in the country—told me he fully ex- pected the Negroes to join a third party movement in 1940 with other “progressives,” from which, in this in- stance, I infer he meant “radicals.” It is to be noted that a Negro is run- ning for vice president on the Com- munist ticket this year. During this campaign, Vann, who used to be a special assistant to At- torney General Cummins, is the right- hand man of Chairman Farley and is in charge of all Negro activities in Pennsylvania for Mr. Roosevelt. Vann told me that the Negroes had split 50-50 in the 1932 election, but that this year they would be 75 per cent for Roosevelt. He did not expect either Michigan or Ohio to go for Roose- velt, but he thought most of the other states in which the Negro vote was a factor would be found on the Roose- velt side. He gave me the figures of registered voters among the Negroes as follows: Pennsylvania Illinois .. Ohio .. Michigan Missouri Indiana ..... West Virginia New York New Jersey . . Maryland . coos 165,000 There's a total of 1,617,000 Negro votes registered, and they could eas- ily become the balance of power in some of these states.in a close election. ‘Jim Farley has been busy for some time lining up Negro support.

Tf, as Vann claims, however, the Negro vote was split evenly in 1932 and now has gone up 75 per cent, it means a block of 44,000 votes that must be subtracted from the Repub- lican side. If two-thirds are in Pitts- burgh and Philadelphia, it means that about 29,000 votes must be added to ‘This can hardly be enough to swell the Allegheny county vote to a 75,000/in the north would enable them to majority or to cut the Philadelphia|compel southern Democratic leaders Republican voteidown to the ting-even point, both of which are|lation beneficial to the Negroes and counted on by the New Deal manag- ers, I think, moreover, that the 75 to 25 division is rather optimistic. The Negro preachers, most of whom are Republican because they do not trust the southern-dominated Democracy in congress to help their brethren, are doing a lot of speech-making on the dangers of throwing overboard the Republican party that has befriended them ever since the Civil Way. Incidentally, in all border states where I have been, I have noted deep-seated resentment among sout ern Democrats over the fact that the northern New Deslers have played up to the Negro vote. On this point, I asked Vann 8 question: “Do you expect the southern Demo- erat in coneroes to relp you pene enh that the Republican party, if aban- doned by the Negroes in the might seek to make a new alignment itself in the south.
