hour Won are likely to lose your sense of proportion
and abuse your health which is certainly far more
valuable than time Without health, time can mean
little, if anything
Because luncheon is taken in such hurry by
most workers it usually includes a sandwich cup
of coffee and possibly piece of fruit or some des-
sert
On many occasions, this food is gulped in five
to ten minutes, so that the remaining time may De
spent in gossip, bridge or shopping
Such a luncheon is of little, if any, use, either
for nutrition for even satisfaction OF munger,
and is usually supplemented in the middle OF the
afternoon by candy soda fountain drinks, or some
other food substance
TINE sandwich is probably one of the most costly
i types of food that you can purchase, in rela-
tionShip TO its food value.
The average American sandwich consists OF two
slices of white bread with piece of meat trimmed
by a razor-like apparatus. 1t affords little in the
way of nutrititon its only advantage is the speed
with which you can consume it.
Nevertheless, you can make most nutritious
sandwich by using with a slice of meat, if meat is
necessary mixture of egg. lettuce, tomato, fish and
other food products which contain not only protein,
but also the necessary vitaminS and mineral salts.
WHILE coffee or tea is stimulating and have
wv become the standard American drinks, you
should remember that hot milk which can be in the
form OF chocolate, is just about appetiz

light luncheon, you probably will get more for your

the oyster Is a heavy drinker according to DR..

DR.. Prytherch says that through the activities of

The difficulty lies in the fact that the oyster

Had we followed the preScrip-
tons laid down by our leading
conservatives we should not be
better off than we are. We should
be worse off. We should be in the
position not of Great Britain, but
of France, which is holding fast
to the dogmas of orthodox finance.
We should not have taken the
monetary measures which have
been taken in every country that
is emerging from the depression.
But if we had had the wisdom
and restraint to apply the MIRA as
the act clearly intended it should
be applied, had we had no blanket
code, no wholesale roundup of
all industries into codes, had we
set up only a few experimental
codes carefully adapted to the

role, we should have much more

1t is interesting to compare the
British policies with our own. But
it is not a simple thing to do. For
there are certain radical differ
ences between the British prob
lem and our own, which have to
be taken into account, and yet
are extremely difficult to weigh
fairly.
Let us note a few of them. The
first is that the vicious spiral of
def1ation, of falling prices and in
solvency, was arrested in Great
Britain some eighteen months
earlier than it was in the
United States.
1t was arrested at a point which
enabled the British to escape the
whole dreadful catastrophe of
1932-1933. Second, because, Britain
did not have to go down into this
deepest pit of the depression, be-
cause also she possesses a sounder
banking sytem and more seasoned
bankers, the financial mechanism
did not collapse and her financial
leadership was not paralyzed and
discredited
Third, Britain is almost entirely
an industrial country, and there
fore she did not have to deal both
with an agricultural and an in
dustrial depression. Had Britain
been compelled to have a policy
which suited the United Kingdom,
Australia and Canada at the same
time, her problem would have
been more nearly comparable with
ours.
A S it was, Britain, Australia
L n and Canada have each pur-
sued somewhat different policies
suitable to their special circum-
stances. Thus, for example, the
British pound has been allowed
to depreciate much less than the
Australian pound, and somewhat
less than the Canadian collar.
Many measures for the relief of
agricultural debtors, which we
have had to take. were unneces-
Sary in Great Britain. But they
have been applied in Australia.
Moreover, because Britain es-
capped the worst Of the deflation,
because her banks and her
finances did not collapse, there
has been non popular indignation
in Britain comparable with that
which existed here last spring and
expressed itself IN the Securities
Act and the related reforms.
The British voters did not swing
so far to the left as did, our
voters, because they did not go
through such a disaster. For that
reason the national government
has been able to pursue a policy
devoted unreservedly to promoting
a capitalistic recovery.
In pursuing this policy Great
Britain has had the advantage
over us in certain important re-
Spects. The liberal economists, led
by men like Keynes, Hawtrey, Sal
ter, Stamp, Layton, have under
stood the mechanism of the capt.
talist system far better than most
of the economists in the so-called
brain trust, and they have gotten
themselves into muddle about
the role of profits, such as we see
aYennlif7ai in the NPA
On the other hand, the con-
servatives in the treasury, the
Bank of England and the City of
London have understood the

was laxative. The French" said
he, always think we want to war

could beat them tomorrow if we

Nazis came into power, some of
the greatest scientists in Germany
placed at our disposal all kinds of
chemical discoveries which would
be a surprise for the world"
Now what are the easily ascer-

arms? First of all, there is the
Reichswehr, the regular army of
Germany, composed of 100000
men. That is all Germany is al
lowed under the Versailles peace

And that is where the allies
