Editorial Comment

Nations Business)


The complete story of the collapse OF the
British government housing scheme, the most
costly adventure in socialism that has ever been
tried in any country in Europe, outside Russia,
is told by Herbert N. Casson.
The one great result of the governments
gigantic scheme to build houses is an enormous
unproductive debt Of 2,405 million dollars,
which will have to be paid by British taxpayers
in the next sixty years.
The housing venture, which originated dur
ing the war, was as wild scheme as the South
Sea bubble It was planned, by small group
of politicians, then known as the kitchen cabinet
of Lloyd George.
When the governments plan to build houses
for the poorer classes was made public, ell the
intricate mechanism Of the building industry
was Immediately thrown in hopeless confusion.
Everyone was tied hand and foot. A swarm
of government inspectors sprang up and put q
stop to anything that was not in accordance
with the government plan.
Many Of these inspectors were mere political
hangers-on. They knew nothing about house
building. Some of them were mendacious adj
venturers, who expected brides and penalized
those who refused to pay them.
In 1920, at the height of the state control
period only 10000 houses were built and at an
enormous cost. These houses were the most
costly that have ever been built in Great Brit
ain or anywhere else.
The story of the collapse of the state control
bubble in the British building trades remains
an object lesson to all the governments and bu-
reaucracies of the world, to teach them to let
industrial and commercial affairs alone.

her heart to, and Of whom she b.. 4
grown tired as soon as they were
wholly in love with her, marched
across the motion picture screen Of
Faiths memory. Probably she re-
membered them far better than
Cherry did! Having married one Of
Cherry's discarded suitors, Faith
told herself bitterly that she had had
small chance Of forgetting. How she
preened herself, fluttering between
these two men, egging tenn on to
hate each other and to de. ire her!
Faith, absorbed in her own
thoughts and in her fascinated
study of Cherry's technique as q
consummate fiirt, had heard none
Of the conversation which had
bridged over the first awkwardness
of this meeting be- veen Cherry's
two latest admirers. But she
aroused herself to her duties as q
hostess when Cherry sudde " flew
to the radio and tuned in on . jazz
orchestra. Faith was rather glad
there was to he dancing. OF course
both of the men would want to dance
with Cherry. It would not even oc-
cur to them to make ! decent pre-
tense Of preferring Cherry's sister,
an unexciting married woman. How.
ever, it would b good t dance
again
But oddly enough here was Nils,
dropping to the coach beside her,
without even q glance Of invitation
toward Cherry. Faith saw her sis
ter toss her. head with angry de-
fiance, then stretch out her arms to
Bruce Patton. who was smiling with
SNUG content. O.
"I'm sorry we aren't TO be alone,'
Nils was saying, amazingly. II

TRUE DIABETE.- MELLITUs

ANOG OA<1O6A Il. MG1A1A ~ -
In yesterdays artic. / gave q
short explanation Of the ference
between diobc 'es mellitus I'D dia-
betes insipidus. Explained that
many Of the symp.o ,r the same.
The presence Of sugar j., the blood
or urine is the distinguishing char
acteristic Of Diabetes meliitus over
otk,r disorders WI ere there is an ex-
cessive thirst, and elimination Of
large quantities Of urine.
This true diabetes is disease of
metabolism, and comes o. because
the body cannot normally utilize the
carbohydrates. The result is that
there is an increase in the blood
sugar, and sugar is also eliminated
in the urine.
The excessive thirst is created be-
cause of the large amount of zine
thrown out, and even though -. pa
tient drinks quart after quart OF wa
ter, he often urinates away more wa
ter than he can consume during the
day.
AS soon as the disease is well ad-
vanced the patient loses weight rap
idly. This is mostly due to the fact
that SO much liquid is thrown out
through the kidneys.
Aretaeus was the first one to use
the term 'diabe. and said it APP
peared to be "a melting down Of the
flesh annd limbs into urine" He
suggested that the name of the dis
ease came from the Greek word
which signifies a syphon.
The first cause Of diabetes which
must be consid red is the use Of an
excessive amount of carbohydrates,
both in the form of sugar AMI starch.
It is thought by many that obesity
is primary cause oe diabetes, as it
usually occurs only with those over
weight, while the true facts are,
those who are overweight are excess
sive users Of carbohydrates, which
burden the body with weight, and
overwork the parcreas which must
supply the pancreatic fluid for their
digestion.
When excess. amounts of sugar
are found ir the blood or urine, it is
a sure sign that the pr 2 cas- is TN
able to take care of the large mount
of carbohydia ss which the patient
is using. Of course, the simplest
thing to do is to cut out = carbo-
hydrates entirely if necessary, and
give the pane ca a chance to re-
gain its normal functioning ' wer.
The discovery of insulin has en-
tirely changed tic treatment of dia-
betes so far as most physicians are
concerned, but the disappointing re-
suits Of such treatment are now APP
parent, and many clear-thinking
physicians have abandoned its use
altogether as predicted they would
do when the first announcements
were made about insulin's discov-
cry.
The only object in using insulin is
to allow the patient to use carbo-

But we read further: 1T is estimated that
crop production in the period 1922-1926 was
nearly five per cent greater than in the period
1917-1921, although the aggregate acreage in
of animal products is estimated to have in
creased fully IL per cent. The increased pro-
ductivity of the farm worker is estimated at
about IL per cent. This increase in labor ef-
ficiency, probably never before equaled, is at
tributed in part to the utilization Of more pro.
ductive livestock and crops, in part to increased
use of machinery and power on the farm"
That is, the inefficient and the unfit have
moved away from the farm and found jobs else
where and the good farmers, who are left have
been doing less work and getting more prod
ucts. That is strictly in line with what is hap
pening in all other productive enterprises in
this country.
