Worlds Most Famous
Babies Eat Oatmeal

The Dionne Quintuplets, wards of
the King, eat the same cereal that is
eaten by millions of babies who don't
get their names in the papers-oat-
meal. The Canadian government
chose a staff of special experts for
the care of the CUNTS. And these
experts, their scientific knowledge
endorsing the instructive choice of
mothers the world over, have chosen
oatmeal for the cereal of the famous
five.
Oatmeal, eminent medical author
tiles agree. has an abundance of
everything a child's cereal should
have-body- building minerals. mus
cle-building protein, and the supreme
ly important Vitamin B Cor keeping
fit.
Food science says that Vitamin B
is the best safeguard against those
dangerous enemies of childhood
nervousness, constipation, and poor
appetite due to lack of that vitamin
in the diet.

Diibouti Takes
on Importance
French Owned Door to ETH
opia Now Swarms With
Adventures.

A key port of Frances colonial en-
pire, set down in a desolate desert
that is one of the hottest spots on
the globe, Is the dazzling white little
city of Djibouti, French Somaliland,
now thronging with adventures,
refugees, and French colonial troops.
'"This small settlement. with less
than $4,000 population in normal
times, now occupies world attention
not only as a French outpost COM
handing the Red sea next door to
Italy's Eritrea, but as the terminus
of the only railroad connecting Ethio-
pia with the ocean," says the Ma
tional Geographic society.
"Djibouti is a city of strange con-
rrasts. 1t boasts movie theaters-
cafes, and a radio station, though it's
normal white population is less than
700; and in the desert behind it wan
der tribes not far removed from saw
agery. Night, when the blisrering
sun has disappeared, is Djibouti's
busy time. At midday, from eleven
to three, white and black alike shrink
into whatever shade there is. and
activity slows to minimum.
''The only French port of call on
the Suez route to Madagascar, French
Indo- China, and other French colo
NAL possessions in the east, Djibodti
is of considerable strategic impor-
lance. French Somaliland, of which
it is the capital, shares command of
the entrance to the Red sea with the
British protectorate Of Alden, $50
miles opposite on the coast of Arabia.
'Djibouti lies on coast consisting
chiefly of sand and volcanic rock,
with here and there patch of low
scrub. The Gulf Of Tadjoura, on
which 1t stands, bites into the coast
to depth of Sc miles. Cliffs Of vol
canic stone form the shores of this
gulf for many miles. Five miles in
land from the tip of the gulf is Lake
Assal, Somaliland's Little Dead sea,
nearly 500 feet below sea level. Its
shores are encrusted with salt de-
posts, and the gathering of this salt
is major industry.
"France has held part of Somali-
land since 1864, when the Port of
Obock was bought. The colony
achieved real Importance, however,
only with the completion of the rail
road from Djiboui to Ethiopia's cap
ital, Adds Ababa, about 500 miles
away.
"The railroad was built at tre-
mendous cost, and before the World
war its passenger fare was about %
cents a mile. The first locomotive
was attacked with spears by ig-
norant natives along the route, in the
belief that it was some sort Of super
lion.' Until recently trains were op-
Grated only in the daytime.
"Since the World war, rail-borne
commerce to and from Ethiopia has
brought considerable prosperity to
Djibouti. Chief exports in normal
times are coffee. hides, skins, ivory,
animal wax, and salt.

Somaliland rises In a long incline
toward the heights of Ethiopia. In
land the boundary is about 56 miles
from the sea. To the north Of Dill
bout, toward the frontier of Italian
Eritrea, is the country of the tall,
proud, Danakil people. They look
with disfavor upon white men, and a
sort of armed truce prevails between
them and the French authorities.
ALSO living under the French flag
are Somalis, Calais, Arabs, and East
Indians, total population of about
$4,000. France interferes as little
as possible with their customs and
religions, so for the most part they
are peaceful.
"Along the coast fishing and pearl
diving are important industries. In
the desert the natives subsist chiefly
on rice, dates and goats milk.

credit, and as clearing houses, but with
q National Credit authority would rest
the power of the creation of all money.
Such money would be based not upon
a commodity such as gold, but upon
the country's "reaI' wealth, which, as
has been said, is the ability to pro-
duce goods and services when and
where and as required.
Under this scheme, factories and
their potential capacity for production;
land, roads. bridges, buildings, media
of transportation, water schemes. min
erals, northumberland materials and
the like, would become capital assets
and money would be issued against
them. 1t would be the duty of the
National Credit Account to appraise
these things every three months. AS
Social Credit interprets it, the money
in the country should never exceed
the amount af the community's ability
to consume and would be regulated to
keep apace with it.
To create purchasing power where
it is lacking today, the National Credit
authority would do away with the ne
cessity of the consumers having to pay
industry's costs, both A and b, in the
price of retail articles. The consumer
would be given discount on all re-
tail articles equal to the estimated b
cost of producing them. This discount
would be repaid to the retailer by the
National Credit authority upon his
presentation of the sales slip showing
the discount allowed. The discount
thus allowed would enable the con-
sumner to pay the "just price, Of any
article and would raise his purchasing
power.
The National Credit authority would
control the prices of articles at retail
by furnishing periodic estimates of the
current ratio of production to consump-
ton, and inducing retailers to sign
pledges to hold the lust price" at
level with the fluctuations Of the pro-
duction-consumption ratio. The retail
er who would not sign such pledge
would not be licensed to issue the re-
tail discount and therefore would not
be able to survive against competition.
If at any time in the dim, distant
future, consumption should ever catch
up with production, the retail dis
count could be removed, for it would
no longer be necessary.
Another duty of the National Credit
authority would be that of distributing
the national dividend. This is because
part of mans cultural inheritance from
past ages has been an evil one. The
very machines which mans mastery of
science has developed to relieve him of
work have also relieved him all too

WE ARE not going to toler-

recovery. Industry is already feel
ing the effects of the so-called breath
ing spell which has been promised us.
Times are surely getting better. We
have reached point where we are
convinced that the depression is be-
hind us. Now we must face the prob
lem of liquidating some Of the actions
injected into the picture
The forces Of recovery will be
aligned against the deflationary forces
Of adverse political action. But as
long as the forces are strong enough to
control political forces, the way out
Is assured.
A new spirit prevails everywhere in
the nation. There is no longer fear,
and confidence in the future is due
to the belief that times are getting
better and better.
Now it is time for the people of the
United States to get back to sound
fundamentals, and we must liquidate
the panaceas and discard quack the

'SoClN CREDIT PROPOSES TO TURN UNEMPLOYMENT INTO
LEISURE BY THE DISTRIBUTION OF the NATIONAL DIVIDEND

button of the dividend, but, since an
tates an outline of practically all the
new economics" let US attempt an
explanation.
1t would be difficult to explain the
part of the banks in creating a short
age of purchasing power more con-
cisely than Mr.. Hotter does in his
book:
Money flows in a definite course.
The source is the banking system
which starts the current by making
loans to the producer, who through
the process of industry, distributes 1t
directly or indirectly to the consumer.
The consumer buys with it the prod
uct of industry over the retail coun-
ter. At this point the money Is start
ed on its homeward journey, for after
it has passed through the producers
hands, it is returned to the bank in
repayment of the original loan. Under
this system it is obvious that if part
of the money which enters into the
producing channel fails to reach the
consumer, or If any of the money
which does reach the consumer is not
actually spent, a shortage of purchas-
ing power will result"
Shortage of Purchasing Power.
The idea is that under the present
system the amount of purchasing pow
er of community at any given mo-
ment is never sufficient to buy back
the total production of industry "if any
charges are made in respect of capt.
tai production"
Now producers today, if they are
going to stay in business very long,
must get back all of the costs which
go into an article in prices. Social
Creditors divide these costs into two
classes, (A) all payments that pro-
Queer makes to individuals-wages,
salaries and dividends; and (B) pay
ments to other organizations for raw
materials, machinery, maintenance,
bank charges and other external
charges.
The only money distributed directly
to consumers comes under the "a"
heading. Yet when the finished ar
ticle appears on the market the con-
sumner must pay price equal to at
least A plus B. So the amount of
purchasing power which the commu-
nifty is short is the amount represent
ed by industry's B costs.
Certainly much of the B costs event
ually appear in the form Of purchas-
ing power, for bankers and wholesal-
ers have to eat and clothe themselves.
The point Social Credit makes is that
this purchasing power appears too
late or too early, because industry's B
payments may be completed at a time
irrelevant to the cycle Of production
for which they were issued. Money
which a factory paid for raw materials
would be largely spent by the time the
finished article appeared; being spent,
it returns to the banks. There is a
fresh supply of goods to be bought, but
much of the money which should have
gone to buy them is Cancelled out of
circulation.
Only further bank loans to industry,

dustries, wholesale sabotage like the
blowing under of wheat and the kill

PRESERVING CIVILIZATION

BY MRS. FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT
First Lady of the Land.
BECAUSE what we call de-
- lenses would be of compare
lively little value in the next war,
think we had better begin to decide
whether we wish to preserve our CIV
ilization or whether we think it of so
little use that we might as well let
it go. That is what war amounts to-.
I think this is very good moment
for all women everywhere to be think
ing about war. You see, from my point
of view, it has been so clearly proved
that force never settles anything.
We always have looked upon force
as the ultimate way of settling all in.
ternational difficulties, and yet over
and over again we are given the les
son and we are being given it at this
moment, that force never really did
settle any question; it simply bred
new questions.

often of the salary he used to receive
for doing such work. In compensation
for this, every unemployed person
would be given a monthly check which
would be paid out of the National
Credit account, just like the retail dis
count.
None of US then would have to do
distasteful work. San artist, for in.
stance, would not be forced by eco
nomic circumstances into becoming a
bank clerk"
"From the Social Credit viewpoint,
it UNEMPLOYMENT is very
decided symptom of health" writes Mr..
Hotter. IF our nation is capable Of
producing in abundance all those
things which we need and desire,
through it's industrial equipment, with
less and less effort on the part of man,
we are clearly getting nearer the day
of increased freedom from manual
work. Present unemployment Is lap
on the way, and is in itself, apart from
its ugly associations, far from being
an evil. The only difference between
leisure and unemployment is that one
is paid and the other is not"
Source of the Dividend.
That the national dividend will be
paid with new money and that the re-
tail discount will be paid with new
money will cause absolutely no infia-
ton, according to the ideas of Social
Creditors.
Social Credit hangs to the theory
that since the new money is issued
only after prices have been lowered
through the retail discount, it could
not be accompanied by the only real
evil of imitation, which would be
simultaneous rise in the level of prices.
"Every penny issued on behalf of the
national discount would be debited
against the sum standing to the ma
tional credit in the National Credit
account" says the doctrine of Social
Credit.
That is Social Credit, if it can be
explained in few hundred words Is
it just another of those wildfire
schemes for sharing the wealth? Is
it Communism, Socialism or just
plain lunacy? Or is it sound econo-
mics and the true way out of the
worlds depression?
That you will have to decide for
yourself.

L sage to you is that there is
plenty of evidence in my office
that the unemployment situation In
New York is far and away the most
serious matter affecting this city
that you are sitting on neat little

that you have been pretty somnolent
about it because Uncle Sam was at
tending to it for you, and that about
the least you can do now is to open
your eyes and take one good long look
at it.

A SPENDING GOVERNMENT
By LEWIS w. DOUGLAS

FORMER director or the Buuget.
MO OTHER conclusion is pos
l Y sible than that the admins
tration at Washington is an ire
sponsible, spending government, its
spending conducted by those who have
no knowledge of how wealth is pro-
duced, and perhaps care less. No liv-
ing man knows the contingent liabil-
tiles of the federal government.
There is a real fear as to the security
Of our government and our people.
Whenever a government has continued
to spend more than it has taken in it
has destroyed in whole or in part its
currency. This brings pain and poverty,
and the great middle class is crucified.
