All rights of repubiication of all other matter herein are also r Pressure of Necessity Politics and the appeal to national pride are not alone in the demand of such nations as Germany and Italy for foreign colonies. In the background there often is the vital urge of ab- solute necessity and governments act only because of heavy and persistent pressure from industries which are being throt- tled by national handicaps. The case for Germany as it pertains to lumber was pres- ented to the Second International Forestry Congress by Dr. Tranz Heske, Germany forestry expert, in a way which in- dicates clearly the relationship between Germany's political de- mand for colonies and the conditions which exist within the Reich. After pointing out that Germany is doing the best she can to manage her timber resources efficiently, but that 37 per cent of the forest products needed come from outside her bor- ders, Dr. Heske said bluntly that Germany will never give up her irations for colonial possessions for two reasons, as follows: “1, The question of justice of ownership. Germany is entitled to contribute to the development of colonial territory as much as other big powers of the world. There is no more room for discrim- ination against Germany in this respect. _ “2. The question of ecnoomic necessity, Germany wants col- onial possessions to enlarge her base for raw materials, amongst which is timber.” In other words, Germany faces the problem of “root, hog, or die” and the threat to world peace is obvious. Add to the timber problem those of food, metals and other natural resources and it is easily understood that Germany’s demands for colonies are made not because of a desire to upset the international apple cart but because of the pressure of sheer necessity. Ship Strike One of the trends in the American labor movement which a great many persons do not appreciate is the fight for power within the unions themselves and the contests between rival union organizations. No better example can be found than the current shipping strike which finds the Seamen's Defense Committee contesting with the International Scamen’s Union for a dominant posi- tion on the Pacific coast and in other important shipping areas. The I. S. U., an American Federation of Labor affiliate, has been unsuccessful in its effort to get the men back to work and charges that agitators and thugs are swaying the strikers from the path of union reason and principles. The strikers’ charges against the union are that it failed to negotiate with ship owners for overtime pay and a wage boost of five cents an hour and with regard to curtailing the employ- ment of Asiaic help. In the background is the struggle for pelf and’ power. Gen- erally speaking, union leaders are good Americans, interested only in improving the welfare of union members, but every so often unions get into the hands of racketeers, or racketeers set up unions of their own and browbeat honest workmen into join- ing them. In such cases they must cither join or suffer serious bodily harm at the hands of thugs. This situation already prevails in Seattle and the condition apparently is spreading on the West Coast. It is a challenge to the American labor movement from within and one which may have a much more serious result than the occasional dis- putes with employers. a New Prosperity Index Wheat has so long been regarded as King in the north- west that it may be something of a shock to realize that our agriculture now is being ruled by a queen in the form of the dairy cow with the pig, the steer and the little red hen as her chief courtiers. Emphasis was placed upon this fact recently by Charles F. Collisson, farm editor of the Minneapolis Tribune, when he pointed out that during the last 15 years there has been develop- ed the “great bread-and-butter realm” of Norfh America and that “wheat price vagaries have long ceased to be-the index of buying power, EVEN IN THE DAKOTAS. The new index now is the butterfat price.” For proof he offered the following: “The three-year 1918-1920 wheat acreage averaged 3,430,000 acres. ‘The 1933-1935 average was 1,581,000 acres, a drop of more than 50 per cent, under the influence of the advance of dairying .... “With every politician on the hustings hollering for help for the down-trodden grain grower, the wheat farmer himself has been working out his own relief by learning to milk, to feed steers, to fatten hogs and lambs, to raise fried chicken and cream gravy, po’k chops and apple sauce.” Thus Mr. Collisson presents the matter not as a trend in # certain direction but as a thing accomplished. In this, beyond question, he is right, North Dakotans need only to look at the revenue they HAVE derived from cows and livestock in recent years and then at the income they HAVEN'T derived from wheat, to know that he speaks the \ Behi the Washington Former Foes of NRA Nuw Wish It Was Back. . . Vote Proves Recovery Plan Was Popular With Many. . . Labor Law Will Get Early Test in Supreme Court, . . All the Credit for Roose- velt's Election Isn't Due to Unions. By RODNEY DUTCHER (Tribune Washington Correspondent) Washington, Nov. 12.—The 16 mem- bers of the Schechter family, their tame made famous by the U. 8. Su- preme Court decision which killed NRA at Joe Schechter’s behest, all voted for Roosevelt and announce they wanted a new NRA. Jacob Maged, the tallor who went briefly to jail for violating a New Jersey state compliance law, and whose mishap was loudly mourned by Re- publican orators as a horrible ex- ample of “New Deal persecution of a |little pants-presser,” has telegraphed the president that his business is bad and that “only NRA can restore it.” These incidents prove nothing. But they fit in neatly with a fact of which this writer and other observers dis- covered repeated evidence during the campaign—that NRA was still far more popular than most politicians supposed. Low income groups which leaped into the landslide for Roosevelt—con- Spicuously including employes of ho- tels, stores, restaurants, and other service trades—still had pleasant memories of it. So did some sub- Poco orrrccrrce coerce nce c ccc c cco oce. Scenes NS hae Stantial groups of not very big busi- hess men, It_is very doubtful whether Gover- nor Landon's various attacks and chal~ lenges to Roosevelt as to NRA did him. any good, Roosevelt in his New York speech promised continued effort for higher wages, shorter hours, the end of child labor and sweatshops—all prime NRA objectives. And organized labor, claiming to have elected him, will vociferously de- mand the fulfillment of those promises through national legislation, although no one is now suggesting a revival of NRA in its old form. * ee Showdown on Labor Law It's a burning question whether the supreme court, in the face of a Roose- velt popular plurality of more than 10,000,000 and an army of unemployed even larger, would care to invalidate @ new law providing maximum hours as an employment spreader. New Dealers plan to rush a labor issue before the court at once, with test cases of the Wagner labor relae tions act, which guarantees collective bargaining and freedom to organize. It's planned to put the issue up in such a way that the court must decide definifely whether the act is con stitutional or not. The idea is to get a decision be- fore Congress meets; then, if the de- cision is unfavorable, to wait for pub- he reaction as a guide to the next step. There's a growing feeling among many administrationites that a con- stitutional amendment could quickly be jammed through Congress and the state legislatures, but few could agree on the wording of such amendment. On the other hand, despite agree- ment that Roosevelt is riding high, there's less talk about “packing” the court with extra justices than there was a year ago. Maximum hour and minimum wage legislation will be introduced, in any event, If that is held unconstitution- al, the administration may be expected to try to take care of those problems in a bill licensing corporations, al- though the time of the drive for such law is now uncertain—as is the case with many other matters in a period during which Roosevelt intends to let things simmer. * * All Credit Isn't Due Labor Roosevelt @ves a lot to organized labor. But not everything, as one might gather from recent utterances of certain labor leaders. The Lewis-Hillman-Berry Labor's Non-Partisan League organized thous- ands of precincts, distributed millions of pieces of literature, and delivered hundreds of thousands and probably millions of votes. But when you consider the plural- | ities, you'll find plenty of room for speoulation as to how many votes the labor union got for Roosevelt and how many he went out and got for him- self, The American Labor Party, func- tioning as the L. N. P. L. in New York state, was amazingly effective in get- ting 300,000 electors to vote for Roose- velt and Governor Lehman on its own ticket. But Roosevelt's New York plurality was 1,200,000 and he would seem far more indebted had his mar- gin been in the neighborhood of the A. L. P. vote. Labor can take much credit for the 665,000 plurality in Pennsylvania, 750,- 000 in Illinois, 600,000 in Ohio, 300,000 in Michigan, and some others. Roosevelt will be very sympathetic to union labor ahd will seek to retain its support. But it can be predicted that labor leaders aren't going to be able to push him around. The smart ones won't try.

All queries must be accompanied by & stamped, self-addressed envelope. Dr. Brady will answer COMMON MISTAKES MADE BY AMATEURS IN THE BABY BUSINESS months. At this age vaccinia is a mild disturbance compared to the upset it may produce in an older child. Many parents put off too long the vac- cination of the baby. Before the end of the first year the baby should be immunized against diphtheria. It is in the pre-school age that diphtheria is most fatal and hence the young Child most needs this protection . Too many parents take no steps to protect a child against the risk of diphtheria until the child is ready to enter school—if he escapes infection up to that time. A great many young parents make the sad mistake of having an only child. Perhaps in half the cases this is not intentional, but one-child steril- ity, a common effect of specific infection which flares up following the birth of the only child and leaves sterility after it has burned out or after it has made mutilating operation necessary. An only child does not get a fair break. Parents who are not blessed with more than one child of their own should for that child's sake, their own sake and God's sake adopt a sister or brother or so to make a real family. The place for a child to learn to get on with other people is in the home. Too many babies are coddled to death still, although a perceptible en- ligthenment is slowly percolating through. A young infant has compara- tively more heat to get rid of than has an older child or an adult. Excess of clothing or of cover or of heat in the room where the batey lives is devital- izing and weakening in effect on the baby. If the baby seems happy be sure the clothing, bed covers or temperature’ of the room is sufficient. If the baby is cross and peevish, restless, moist of skin, the chances are you have the poor tike nearly killed with coddling. At any time if the baby’s skin feels warm to your touch you may be sure the baby is warm enough, no matter if he is stark naked and uncovered. If the baby’s hands and fect feel cold to your touch, he may still be nearly killed with coddling, for when the circulation weakens from any cause the hands and feet are likely to be rather clmamy, even though the infant be kept far too warm. Here let us shed a tear of sympathy for the wretched infant in water- proof napkin—and shame on his guardians. One of the dumbest and most harmful notions is that any food is ade- quate for the baby’s nutrition if it “agrees.” Thousands of infants an- nually develop scurvy or rickets on food that “agrees” perfectly. Your own mother or grandmother has probably forgotten just how she managed to save one out of three. Beware of her instruction on the care of infants. And if your family doctor is any good at all, you will leave it to him to suggest a specialist when there is sufficient reason to hope that a specialist may be of any use.

Answer—Has the child had the advantage of exposure to sunlight (or ultraviolet rays from artificial source) enough to produce a complete coat of tan and promote normal calcium metabolism? Has he received an optimal ration of vitamin D? These factors have much to do with development of strong, symmetrical bones, jaws, teeth, and with prevention of tonsil and adenoid hypertrophy.
