very first thing he does is to inocuate the sick per-
This is of utmost Importance for delay of two,
three, or four days in giving antitoxin may mean
damage to vital organs in such manner that they
never recover completely.
Moreover. the first dose of anttoxin should be
large enough to control the disease. This antitoxin
is usually injected in the back below the shoulder
blade, but sometimes into the thigh or under the
breast.
In very severe cases it is forced into the muscles;
in the mder cases, under the skin
In the vast ajority of cases, a striking improve
ent is seen shortly after the antiox1n is injected
The improvement is demonstrated by a fall in the
fever and a favorable change in the general condi-
ton of the patient

~ Gent dose has been injected, the membrane in
the throat stops spreading becomes softened loosens,
and the swelling goes down.
If you delay treatment for diphthera, the anti
toxin may be of little help but even in such cases
it exercises tremendously beneficial influence in
comparison with the effects when no antitoxin is

the nose and throat of person having dphtheria

In the very severe cases of diphtheria when the

may be necessary to pass gold tube into the arnyx
to permit breathing.

up munitions industries, make
alliances with countries that had
them or had raw materials, de-
velop navies to protect the i'm
ports of munitions, or sink under
the domination of the nations
which can arm themselves?
To stop the international traffic
in munitions, when there is no
treaty limiting ornaments and no
reliable system of maintaining
peace, is not likely, therefore, to
prevent war. 1t is almost certain
to intensity the competition in
naval ornaments, to promote
military alliances, and to stinu-
late armament manufacturing in
the industrially backward coun-
tries.
In spite of all this there are few
students of the question who
would not agree that the NUM-
lions traffic, promoted by the
quest for private profit and oper-
ating in secret, is very serious
danger to the peace of the world.
How much there is in the
charges that munition makers in
Europe work up international
suspicion and obstruct movements
to relieve the tension, I have no
way of knowing.
But where there is so much
smoke there is probably some fire.
In any event, it is profoundly
disturbing to think of great in
dustry operating across frontiers
and dependent for its prosperity
upon wars and rumors of wars.

This is one among many signs
of the moral revulsion now evil
dent in Britain, American and in.
a few other countries against in
ternational free trade in NUM-
tionS of war.
During the last week the Presi-
dent has shown that he shares
this feeling: He has Endorsed
the senate investigation of the
private ornaments traffic; has
urged the senate to ratify the in
ternational convention of 1925 to
control the traffic; he has asked
for power to stop the sale of mu-
nitions to Bolivia and Paraguay,
now at war in the Chaco.
The problem is opened for study
by a statement made by the b.
livian minister to Washington,
Senior Finot, who objects to the
embargo and points out that it is
an injustice to Bolivia.
His argument is as follows:
Bolivia has no seaport; Paraguay,
on the other hand, has access 10
salt water; Bolivia does not pos
Sess a munitions plant; Paraguay
does possess one. An embargo
against both countries, therefore,
means that Paraguay can obtain
or make weapons, whereas Bolivia
can not. For even though the
embargo against Paraguay is eff
fective, that country still would be
able, presumably, to obtain the
raw materials out of which arms
are made and then manufacture
her own weapons.
IF THESE are the facts of the
Lease, then, theoretically, the eff
feet of an embargo designed to
step the Chaco war by discourage
ing both belligerents would be to
give the victory to Paraguay.
Whatever may be the actual eff
fects in this South American quar-
Ireland that of Secretary Hull and
his advisers are the best judges
the question raised by Senior Finot
is of very wide Importance. Sup
pose that there is no worldwide
treaty limiting ornaments.
And suppose that the interna-
tional sale of ornaments were
stopped. What would be the eff
feet? Broadly speaking, the ma
tions would fall into three groups.
There would be those, like the
United States and Great Britain,
which have a highly developed in
dustrial organization for making
munitions and have. either within
their own territory or through
their command of the sea, the
necessary raw materials.
There would be those, like
Japan, Germany and France,
which have the industrial organ
lzation, but lack the raw materials
unless thay can command the sea.
There would be those countries,
like China, or say Bolivia, which
lack either the industrial organ.
