Doctors are really the ones who know a lot—they have inside information. It is not quite right to cail Hitler a bare-faced, outrageous dictator; he still has a little hirsute left. Parenthetically speaking, how would anybody feel if he lost $50,000 simply be- cause his bank refused to lend him $10,- 000 on absolutely good collateral? Man is subject to fears and phobias. One of the commonest of phobias is “er- gasiophobia”, fear of work. Another is “panophobia” and when you have that, you have everything. Don’t be a governor of Florida if you have intentions to become a United States senator, Only one governor accomplished the trick and he was a rabble rouser with | religious prejudice to incite the voters. South Florida weekly announces: “Fri- | day night the Ladies’ Aid will give a chicken supper. There will be plenty of chicken on the tables and plenty of pretty chickens waiting on the tables." That ought to bring out the male population. With 12,000,000 Americans on relief, President Roosevelt invites the oppressed \ of other nations to seek ‘shelter in the | United States. Business, from which all} taxes TloW; has a tough time now to meet the burdens of taxation for all govern- mental requirements including vast sums for relief, without shouldering further re- sponsibilities.

An international conference might “stigmatize” the wanton killing of women and children, just as a similar con- ference secured an agreement from many powers to renounce war as an instrument of national policy, but the trouble arises when one wonders how such an agreement will be enforced. There is, unfortunately, at present, no reason to believe that certain powers would observe such an agreement, if, in their opinion, the necessity of a military situation, required them to bomb civilians.
