They also might worry a little about the situation which permits the Japanese to send goods over our high tariff wall at a profit. Here is a selected list as compiled by the American Tariff league: Commodity Unit 1933 1936 Bleached Cotton Cloth Square Yards 58,000 65,607,000 Colored Cotton Cloth Square Yards ‘784,000 = 11,252,000 Cotton Velveteens Square Yards 5,145,000 Cotton Hosiery Pairs 369,000 25,733,000 Woolen and Worsted Cloth Ibs, 9,000 95,000 ‘Wool Knit Gloves Pairs 180 Wool Felt Hat Bodies Bodies none 6,524,000 Rayon Waste pea 41,000 7,826,000 Rayon Staple Fiber Ibs. none 6,218,000 Rayon Woven Fabrics 1s. 8,000 265,000 Glass Table & Kitchen Articles Dollars 2,000 116,000 Small Mirrors Dollars 3,000 117,000 Field Glasses & Binoculars Articles 3 528,000 Mechanical Toys Dollars 17,000 408,000 Sodium Ferrocyanide Lbs, none 1,645,000 Wire Rope Lbs. 610 1,081,000 Thermostatic Bottles Bottles 39,000 736, Granted that this is not a normal condition, it causes won- der as to the standard of living in Japan which permits this kind of competition. It also causes wonder as to the efficiency and attitude of American cotton mills, for example, Japan imports her cotton from the United States, Brazil and India, most of it from this country. They pay the same price for raw material that our processors pay, transport it 10,000 miles and pay the tariff coming back. Yet they break even. Either there is something wrong with our vaunted effi- ciency or our cotton manufacturers are charging too much for their product. The complicating factor, of course, is Japan's obvious need for money. Shipload after shipload of scrap iron and steel has been sent to the island for use in the huge armament program. Japan has had to raise monéy to pay for this and other phases of her national program and so may be selling goods below cost by the process of grinding Japanese labor down to the barest subsistence level. There may be many other answers, but whatever they are they are scant comfort to either the American processor or the American consumer. Room for Improvement If every American were properly fed the nation’s agricul- tural acreage would have to be 20 per cent greater in 1987 than was the case in 1986—and this on the basis of average yields. This is the conclusion of a farm research organization which has been looking into the question of supply and demand for farm products. It proves conclusively that one of the great- est benefits which can be conferred upon the farmer is that of industrial prosperity. The conclusion reached contemplates the consumption of all our food products at home. Production for export would require additional acreage. To provide a liberal diet for all the people of the United States the nation needs 41 per cent more beef cattle than now are available; 69 per cent more hogs and 45 per cent more lambs and sheep. It needs 40 per cent more dairy cattle, 84 per cent more poultry and 46 per cent more wheat. Corn acreage could be boosted by 25 per cent; hay acreage by 88 per cent and truck crop acreage by 60 per cent, What would happen, of course, if these acreages were planted and normal production obtained, would be a sharp break in prices for all farm commodities. City folks would benefit but the farmer would be penalized. Inability of the population as a whole to finance the purchase of a “liberal” diet would create a burdening surplus. The facts presented are of interest'to the American citizen wha tries to look at the nation as a whole. It hints at the vast room for improvement, not only over the conditions we have now but over the best situation we have ever known in the past. Burden on Society - A check of the nation’s hospital facilities discloses that 52 Per cent of the available beds are needed to care for mental patients. More than 600,000 such victims are locked behind the doors of state and municipal institutions and each year 125,- 000 are committed to such places. Some cures are effected but The Bismarck Tribunel{ sein anh: Washington Published daily Bismarck Tribune Company, Bis- marck, N.

Whether this strategy will be em- ployed depends largely on whether Roosevelt decides to keep on fighting with no material and whether he can get what he wants from the senate. If. supreme court decisions en the social security act weaken the admin- istration in the senate, you may ex- pect a shift of battleground, This shift might come after Roosevelt had been voted down in the senate on his minimum demands, or it might come as soon as it became obvious that op- ponents in the senate definitely had an edge. Presumably it would be necessary to launch an administration drive for 218 signatures necessary to get the Chairman Hatton Sumners of house judiciary committee refused to co-operate with the White House.

If science, in a practical way, could find a means of elim- inating even a part of this distressing condition it would be a great help. But few strides have been taken in that direction because there are so many things which contribute to mental illness. Physical debility is probably the leading cause and this sometimes can be cured, but what of those whose minds are affected by economic stress, unfortunate love affairs and other emotional disturbances? The fiéld for improvement is a large one and effective work in it will confer a real benefit upon civilisation. Your Personal Health| By William Brady, M.

HOW FAST YOU EAT YOU GROW OLD I am more and more impressed with the part played by overeating in inducing arterio-sclerosis. ‘There are many cases in which there is no other factor. George Cheyne’s advice was never more needed than by the present payee paragraph is quoted from “the doctor's bible”—Practice of Medicine, Osler, 1905. Oheyne’s advice to which Dr. Osler refers, was given in essay on health and long life written in first years of the seventeenth century by a man who at thirty, through excessive eating and drinking, had brought his weight up to 448 pounds and had become very short breathed, lethargic and listless. ‘Then Cheyne began to follow a kind of regenerative regithen, a diet of milk and vegetables, systematic exercise, and reduced his Freight to 190 pounds. He recovered considerable of his lost vite, lived to the age (hoary for those days) of 72 years, and left his famous essay, in which he said; Every wise man, after fifty, ought to begin to lessen et least the quantity of his aliment, and if he would-continue free of great and dangerous dis- tempers and preserve his schses and faculties clear to the last he ought every even years go on abateing gradually and sensibly, and at last descend out of life as he ascended into it, even unto the child’s diet” that is, a diet in which he Great Game f POLITICS Copyright 1907, by The Baltimere Sun - By FRANK R.
