Splendid Isolation a MYTH

For . good many years the people Of this nation have
been very proud Of their splendid isolation"
Cut off from other countries by vide oceans, the coun.
try is also blessed with tremendous natural resources. on
iron. coal. copper, lumber. cotton-we out-produce the
rest OF the world, and the knowledge soothes us. It makes
self Insufficient.
Yet this blissful state Of affairs isn't quite IS complete
as We usually think. We are calling ourselves econom-
icaly independent when We are not.
Theodore Knappen. a writer for the Magazine OF Wall
Street. recently set out to study the matter. He found
that many of the products essential to a modern civiiza-
ton are not produced in the United States at all. We are
dependent on foreign nations for such important things
as tin, potash, chromium. antimony. manganese, nickel.
tungsten, rubber, jute, asbestos; the list is q long one. and
our expanding industries tend to make it longer and not
shorter.
What would happen. then, If war should cut US of
from the rest Of the world?
MI. Knappen's studied conclusion Is simply this: the
United States is not self-contained.
We could not exist at all, according to our present
standards. II We were cut off from the rest Of the world"
he remarks bluntly.
Now this, when you stop to think about 1t. has a direct
bearing on the coming A~nglo-American naval conference,
the Kellogg peace treaties and the whole perplexing ques-
tion Of our foreign policy.
It might, Of course. be an argument for building a navy
twice the size Of any other navy on earth: an argument
for maintaining an enormous standing army and q stu
pcndous fleet Of ~airplanes, so that We would assuredly be
the yictors in any war We might get into.
But that would be quite = job. It would be ~fearfully ex-
pensive. in the first place. And. In the second place, It
might not work. In 1914 Germany had the worlds great
est army-but It was Of no avail. In 1914 England had .
fleet equal to any two other fleets-but England would
have been beaten II she had not had outside help.
So President Hoover and other leaders Of American |
thought assume it would be wiser for us to make sure
that war never comes. The thing is quite possible, II We
only set our minds to it. The pending naval agreement !
With England is not a matter of national self sacrificc:
It is simply good sense. It will be a step leading away
from war. and that is recommendation enough for it.
The plain fact seems to be that this modern world is
50 complicated, with all nations so dependent on one on
other. that war is just naturally out Of date. And the
sooner We realize that our splendid isolation isn't what
it used TO be. the sooner we'll be willing to do all that We
csn to make peace everlasting.

THE INFLUENCE or FASTING
UPON GLANDS

Oven twenty.five years ago, when I
first heard Of fasting for the cure Of
disease, I was impressed by the start
ling claims made by the advocates Of
this method Of treatment. Stopping
all food and nourishment to the body
for long periods Of time seemed such
q drastic change from the usual adj
vice given by physicians to sick PEG.
pie to "eat all you can to keep up
| your strength" This usual advice
about taking food to increase strength
was given even to patients who were
acutely sick. It seemed to me that
such advice at these times must be
wrong, but 1t was hard to understand
the theories advanced about fasting
for long periods Of time for the cure
Of chronic disease. As I investigated
further. I found that such marvellous
cures did take place, but in many
cases it seemed hard to believe the
theories given to account for the phe-
nomenal cures.
In those days We knew very little
about glands and their functions, but
I did make an attempt to explain q
new theory ! developed about these
cures. ! wrote an article for q POP.
ular health magazine in which I u {
gested that cures through fasting
might come about through some
change made In the organs or func-
tons Of the body which control
metabolism. It seemed to me that the
processes Of nutrition which 90 on
without Dur conscious knowledge in
the body were adjusted and faults
corrected through the fasting cure.
Such q vague theory as I had at that
time has been amplified and, Of I
course, somewhat changed through !
the knowledge I have gained in recent
years about the functions OF the duct
less glands.
The fasting patient undoubtedly |
throws out vast quantities Of morbid |
toxic material from every part of the |
body. This must have q profound in
fluence upon the glands Of internal
secretion. The thyroid. parathyroid, !
pituitary. gonads, and other |
are undoubtedly influenced by |
this elimination Of bodily poisons. The
functions must become more normal
as the body is freed from irritating
toxins. This may entirely explain
why both those who have an un-
der-secretion and those who have an
ver-secretion Of glandular extracts
are benefited 50 much by the fast
ing cure.
The hyperthyroid type who Oversee
creteS thyrovin and is thereby made
thin and nervous. with a rapid heart
beat, is benefited when the blood
Is cleansed so that no more ir-
are present to assist the thy
roid gland to over-secretion. am
sure the same thing is true about the
functions Of oil of the other glands.
I have seen some startling cures take
place through fasting all Of the dis

&.pm'er,fs


Among the most recently acquired
Of children's rights is the right to be
different. the right Of brothers ana
sisters to their own individualities,
different from each other and from
their parents notions Of what they
should be.
Present day knowledge Of the varia-
ttorS In original endowment. both
mental and physical. makes It plain
that each individual has his own lim-
ttations, his own special problems and
his own goals which he must discover
for himself.
Not only is the original endowment
OF each child different but SO also
arc the conditioning factors which
play upon each individual. Brothers
and sisters are by nc means subjected
to the same influence. the psychology
ical environment Of every child in the
family being necessarily different
from that Of every other.
Few Of us are such wholly mature
individuals that as parents, we have
not some ax to grind with our chill
dren. We arc forever trying to make
them strive for the very ideals which
we ourselves have failed to attain. or
we are seeking In u relationship
with them satisfactions and responses
We should have found elsewhere.
And we find fault because they are
not what We expected them to be.
They are themselves, individuals Is
they were born to be. moulded by In.
fluences largely outside OF either their
control or ours.
Since our real children inevitably
differ from the ideal children We
would like them to be, It Is wise at
the outset to accord them the right
to be different and to measure their
success only in terms Of their own
fulfillment. whatever the direction
may be.
