•T'-' ,-"v , J«lT 17, Our WASHIN&M ' Letter :'5*g ••-_:> ^1?^'" maoMi WHOIM kH^VV»w-.'.{l2Ss t Washington, July 16 -- Apparently yielding to dormant school-boy yearnings for a vacation is placing Congress in a bad way with the public. A series of grave turns in our foreign affairs, resulting from the Administration taking bold steps in establishing military outposts far from American shores, is regarded with some semblance of misgiving. Yet the conceit! has not reached a degree where it could squelch the yen for three and four-day holidays. Despite all the loud outbrusts against the White House taking daring actions in defiance of Cdftgressletial sentiment, the lawmaker's tendencies to play hookey from their jobs in these critical times does not win respect for their opinions which they believe are due from citizens. t there is well defined demands in' Senate and Rouse circles for the postponement of general domestic legislation until fall. They do not dare quit compeltely so resort is made to a parliamentary device which permits a aeries of short recesses. The solans meet only to enact minor measures and sidetrack items of a more urgent character. "Jhe reaction of the people to various tax plans is largely responsible for the maintenance of a corporal's guard at routine sessions. The proposed revision of the internal revenue laws to yield money for defense expenditures is loaded with political dynamite. For instance, the pending plan to .make husbands and wives file separate returns is playing havoc in states where the community property plays an important role. Among "the factors coiltributing to • darkening of the war clouds are the dispatch of troops and equipment to garrison Iceland, proposed deals for a base in Northern Ireland and talk of the Navy in a "shooting war." The motives behind these aggressive trends are scouted in debate. Nothing much is done about counter-measures in Congress to correct disputed policies other than the ventilation of views. The attitude of Congress is comparable to the vociferous bystander loitering around scenes of action wondering what will happen next wrf doing nothing. All of which indicates a lot of buck-passing whenever the "incident" arises in international relations to signal the quick transition from a peace to active wat status. Having voted the President enormous powers for defense projects and fcr co-operation with the British the legislators are inclined to let matter* drift with occasional critical com- Of coarse, feeling is running high on the Congressional front. It remain •d for Representative Cox of Georgia to openly charge the failure of public men to "put their country's good above their own selfish political- welfare." Bitter words were exchanged when the House retreated from its previously announced determination to check strikes in defense plant* Representative Smith of Virginia accused his colleagues of listening to what he called the "goon squads" of labor union lobbyists who visited legislators before the final vote on antistrike measures. Again advocates of economy in government expenditures are peeved at the trick invoked "by Towsend plan agents in forcing hearings on pensions this week. Efforts of the Administration to force legislation on control of prices has hit a snag although the current hearings on a bill to restrict rents in the District cf Columbia is regarded as a nattem of controls for defense areas. The unwillingness of the White House' to impose ceilings on wages along ^vith prices makes Congress reluctant to co-operate in this direction. The many special missions going to England to study their methods is taken to mean that the American government contemplates the adoption of these schemes. The theory back of this reasoning is that the British experience is well worth adaption to conditions here. With this foreknowledge of the over-seas influence on our policy-makers many business men are adjusting their affairs in the light of tilings to come. Reports are made on such subjects as forced savings, decentralization of defense plants, to suspension of business not directly related to the war effort, wage methods, food supplies, fire-fighting, financing and similar items. Trained observers watch developments in the American defense pattern with concern for our economic system differs fan many respect*. The average citizen absorbed in his own troubles seldom realises how the national emergency has placed him in the debt of the scientists. Hundreds of these men have been drawn into government service in an effort to solve shortages of materials. The all-out requirements of defense have made it necessary to produce substitutes for many metals which figure in the everydav life. The priorities which rive defense needs first call leavp little for civilian use. Here is where the scientists from universities and research centers call upon their skill for adequate replacements. The public wiH aimreciate their function as articles become scare in stores and home*. It i« stated that restrictions will be tightened shortly aqd thus make the public really conscious of what defense means. PRESERVED "• ¥ I* George Peck ' ^ What has bean done cannot be undone, and no amount of second guessing can alter the situation. It is idle at this juncture to argue that the Administration and the Congress should have done this or should not have done that. It is too late for Americans to quarrel about governmental policies that have brought us to the brink of war. All of vs hats war--all of us loathe oppresison. Our sympathy, yes, even a lot of our money has gone out to the nations that have been overrun by the Nazi hordes. Most of us were determined, however, that America was not going to get itself mixed up in the mad debacle that is devastating Europe and parts of Asia and Africa. Some of us like England, and some of us dislike her. But, all of us, whether we like her or not, realise that if she is vanquished, our civil- j Station here in America is menaced. j So little bv little, we have increased our aid to Britain, thus incurring the bitter hatred of Hitler and Mussolini. Today, only a miracle r;an save us from having to engage in actual combat with the Axis Powers. We repeat, St IFT toe let* to turn back. We cannot-- in fact, most of us would not undo a single thing that we have done to extend aid to Britain to help her fight our enemies--the Axis Powers (the word "our" is used intentionally). In this column, we have stood solidly behind the Administration apd the Congress on the Defense program. We have not in the past, we do not now, nor will we in the future, begrudge one single penny spent, being spent or to be expended to arm us to the teeth, and for ammunition and supplies for Britain. It is not too late now, nor will it be too late if we are drawn into the conflict, to continue every effort to preserve our democartic processes; to maintain civil liberties insofar as is possible for a nation close to or actually engaged in war; to maintain the American System of Free Enterprise; to curb governmental waste; and to stop further encroachment by) the Federal Government into the af fairs which properly and constitution-* ally belong to the several sovereign states. If we fail to maintain the American Way, if we bow to further bureaucracy; if we adopt some form of national socialism, then when the Axis Powers are finally defeated, either with or without our military aid, the United States will have lost the war. We will have set up in this country the horrible things that have impelled us to ruii the risk of being drawn into the conflict which is engulfing and de( stroying Europe. Such a-contradictory course of procedure would be folly indeed.

Ms^SBly Bolger, seeoMiedby Bussi NewTteatmejit Effective for Face NeuraYlgia mm By DR. JAMES W. BARTON (Released by Western Newspaper Unioo.) I HAVE seen an operation to give the patient relief from the terrible pain in the face called tic doloreux or trifacial neuralgia. I have never forgotten it and greatly wondered at the time if there was any p a i n s e v e r e enough to require such an extensive operation. Fortunately the usf of injections of various substances often gives relief for months and years so that fewer of these operations are now performed. •" What appears to be a great advance in the treatment of this severe face neuralgia is reported in the Journal of the American Medical Association by two physicians, Drs. Henry Oftraook and M. Y. Kramers, and a dentist, Dr. C. G. Wiggins W Pasadena, Calif. ^ Observing the relief given by vita- Dr. Barium min **1, in neuritis .and arthritis, and in an attempt to find something less severe than operation, they decided to use vitamin B1 in « number of cases of the doloreuK. The treatment may be divided into two parts: (1) active treatment, and (2) change in the diet with the addition of certain foods. The active treatment consists of injections into the veins daily of thiamin chloride (vitamin Bl). In about 25 per cent of the cases, liver extract was also injected because the patients did not respond satisfactorily, to the vitamin Bl, akme. Lew Stareh Diet. The diet treatment consists of a high vitamin, low starch diet, and in some cases 1 ounce daily of rice, polishings were given by mouth. There were 58 patients treated, of which 37 were markedly improved, 15 improved, three slightly improved, and three not improved. Dr. W. J. McCorrhick, Tortonto. relieves cases of arthritis by means of vitamin Bl. Dr. McCormick points out that it is the inability of the oxygen to reach these nerves that causes the pain. Vitamin Bl enables the oxygen to penetrate the fat or covering of the nerve and give relief. It might be well for all who have painful joints, muscles or neryeS to eat more foods containing vitamin Bl. Some foods rich in vitamin Bl are whole wheat bread, brewers yeast, peanuts* beef Uy«, jdmonds bacon and ham. - s e e * ' X-Ray Examination For Tuberculosis U7HEN we were examining for * * the last war and the recruit was of average weight or near average weight for his build and no tuber culosis could be detected by the usual methods--striking the chest with the fingers to learn the sound, or listening with the stethoscope to get breathing sounds--the recruit was considered to have sound lungs. An editorial in the Canadian Medical Association Journal states that "there is no need to extol the value of the X-ray in the physical ex amination of the lungs. Jo those who spend any time in the tubercu losis institutions it is only too evident that by the routine methods'ot "sounding" and "listening" one is apt to miss much. In other words, no matter what methods are used, the examination of the chest for military purposes should be carried out by the X-ray. What wouid be gained? An enor mo us sum Y{ mona^ would be saved the country By preventing the entrance into the army of those whose unfitness is not detected by the or dinary or routine methods. The X ray should become an "ordinary" method. If, then, the army is considering the upe of the X-rays as an "ordi nary method of the examination of the lungs, what about the rest of us? When there is a tired feeling, lossof weight, persistent cough with oi without an afternoon rise in temperature, it would be good sense to stop taking cough medicines and tonic; and ask your physician about the X-ray examination of the chest. It is not expensive to one regularlyemployed and is free in most communities to those who are not employed. • • • ' * QUESTION BOX Q.--What causes pain in back, pain both sides of abdomen, and pain in back when straightening up? This is a serious health situation and your advice is needed. A. -- Pain to bask and pain straightening up coatd be doe to rheumatism or arthritis. Pain on both sides of abdomen could be due to several conditions--gas pressure because there is a double ar S eurve at both sides of abdoatesi law down. Other causes could be some disturb* anee in the reproductive organs. RINGWOOD John J.
