SUBSTITUTES FOR COD LIVER OIL

It is now the general practice everywhere to give every baby suitable cod iver OH ra. one year, (amateur mothers may learn about this and other wrinkles from the 5rady paDy book copy of which will be mailed 1T you write in for 1t and inclose ten cents In com anu a stamped envelope bearing your address).

Good Old Herbie

We'll, it begins to look as if Herbert Hoover had some influence in this nation among republican leaders after all. Just one glance at the prohibition plank that caused such turmoil in g.o.p. ranks should convince anybody of that. It smaeks of Hoover from beginning to end. It has none of the deeisiveness of Bingham or the other mill tant vets of republican faith. So. the re- publican party isn't going to become the champion of the anti-prohibition forces after all. It is going to vacillate just as much as it has every time prohibition changes are suggested.
 We trust that nobody is deceived by this carieature that is now presented to the nation for approval. There is too evident desire to appease both vets and drys in this plank for it ever to be accepted whole -heartedly by either faction. It was too much for us to expect that the administration could accept the verdict of outraged citizens of the na- ton who demand a. return to normalcy through the outlawing of constitutional amendment that has resulted in nothing but continual discord and loss of purpose since it went into effect We can see the in- fluenec of the president in this attempt at appeasing both sides.
 True the plank calls for resubmission. but only after much hedging and an ap- parent effort to show that the republican party has always supported law and order and will continue to do SO. We are to preserve the gains made by the present pro- hibition amendment yet we are to permit states to solve their own liquor problems. Never yet has anybody been able to keep his cake and also eat it. It just can't be done and the sooner the republican party finds that out the sooner it will make an appeal to the general voting public via the resubmission route.
 The New York Herald Tribune calls the republican stand "the perfect compromise It further claims that If the Great Com promisers of Chicago have left anything out ia the haste of their arduous performance, we cannot recall what it is They can retire for a long rest assured of the hearty dis approval of every one with an honest con viction on the subject. 70 And this from a republican journal with pronounced wet tendencies. Can President Hoover maintain his composure in the face of this or can he continue to be pointed out as the one-and- only in q.o.p circles9

Where the Power Is

Secretary of the Treasury Mills is ever lastingly right when. while approving vari- ous congressional measures to fight the de- pression, he observes that the way to get relief is to start the private economic ma chine turning. There is nothing wrong with the United States today" he says. except the worst case of nerves in history. We have got to restore confidence. But when you talk of breaking the depresson with S3o0,000,OO0 for public works. it is like telling little boy to bring the Wash ington Monument here"
 Expenditures for public works in reason able amount are all right. on the same prn- cple as priming a motor. But no car will run far on the priming. That requires gas in the tank. And even if the government has to help with moderate loan to buy few gallons of gas, the fact remains that fill ing that tank and keeping it full is a private job. The government. with all its power. is only one branch of national business. Pri- vate finance and industry have enormously greater resources than the government has. Paralyzed with fright they have not 'been drawing as usual on those resources.
 Whatever logical causes there may have been for the depression are doubtless pretty we'll worked out. It is now time for re- vival The big hindranee is the psyeho- logical hang over that keeps business men from planning to go ahead and keeps bank CTS from daring to finance heir~operations. A wave of confidence would probably start up the old machine.

More Moratorium

Great Britain has made no allowance in her next years budget for war loan pay ments to America. Other debtors are say ing little but doing nothing. Meanwhile Germany omits from her budget the usual reparation payments to Britain and other allied creditors. British statesmen make no professions of repudation they merely show their expectation that the present mora torium will be continued. German states. men frankly repudiate separations saying they can and will pay no more.
 There is little furry about it. but noth- ing more. A few years ago Americans would have got highly excited and indignant and Frenchmen would have talked war There is obviously strike against paying intergovernmental debts As far as the United States is concerned. there would ordi- narily be show down at the end of next month. when the official moratorium expires Statesmen and other leaders for the most part are maintained discreet silence.
 Of course. the moratorium will have to be continued. And before long there will have to be definite understanding among all the powers. regarding both reparatons to the Allies and repayments to the United States. But both political parties evidently want to postpone the matter until after cleo ton. Next year everybody may face facts. They will have to be faced before long. as necessary condition of world recovery

Dictator Driven Out Because
 He Weds Princess
By TsIburt
.aSA. 04;IM.s

In Dictator" George Slocombc presents fictionized portrait of a dictator which is so lifelike that 1t spells good novel.
 The first two-thirds of the book can be nothing but a study of
 Mussolini. do mot know how much fiction is mingled with fact here, but as you read you feel that you are getting a better under standing of the Italian leader than you ever had before. MT Slocombe begins with the pre- war years, when his heroine Is called "Hannibal" in the book was a homeless anarchist hid ing from the police. Then he traces his developments through the years when he swung to the other ex- | ttreme of political thought, follows him up through his triumph and shows him at last as the successful dictator.
 Then, abruptly the key changes. There is counter-reyolution, brought about chiefly because Han nibaf shelves his mistress and mar rics the Kings daughter. Hannibal is chased out, and for years he wanders the earth again, becoming revolutionary labor leader in South America, Europe, and the United States.
 At the last he returns to his ria- tive country, leads new revolt and once moresputs himself on the top of the heap.
 All of this is intensely. thrilling ly dramatic-but the transition is to abrupt. You feel that you're reading a biography Of Mussolini. and suddenly you find you're read- ing gorgeous romantic novel, and it's too sudden 7. |. Aside from that. though, it's a fine book.
 It's published by the Hcughton- Mifflin Co.,, and costs $2.50.

Good Way To Lose

Congress is preparing to turn over to the Red Cross 40. 900. 900 to 50.000.OOO more bushels of wheat and 50O.000 bales of cot ton There is little objection. even of technical sort. to such action. It is the obvious thing to do. and the easiest way for the government to provide relief in distressed areas Little did we think when the gov- ernment through the Farm Board, began buying up wheat to kite the price and help the farmer. that Uncle Sam was preparing to do exactly what Pharaoh and Joseph did on a celebrated occasion long ago.
 Now the wheat, with cotton to boot. is being distributed very much as it was in those lean years. with domestic sufferers get ting it free and foreign sufferers usually pay- ing for it. The government. to be sure. is losing money on these commodities. But it Was losing money just as fast when it was hoarding and trying to bull the market. This is sounder way to lose.
