NETTRALITY

Congress passed in its closinj
days, a law providing for the neu
trality of the United States in am
foreign wars that may break out
The spectacle of Italy and Ethiopia
shaking their fists and weapons al
each other and apparently about tC
tear each other to pieces. precipi-
tated this action. The United States
wants no part in such a conflict.
The world says war should be
stopped. And yet when it comes to
some dispute, each country usually
insists on having its own way
QuarrelS are not settled in that one
sided manner. Disputing countries
should be as anxious to give justice
to the other party as to receive it
themselves
Some people feel that the United
States and other countries should
band themselves together to stop
wars, much as the people of a ma
tion band themselves together to
put down crime As the police ar
rest a criminal and the courts put
him in Jail, so it is held the coun-
tries should unite to punish any
country that starts a war.
But that means that the countries
would have to fight to stop wars.
They did that thing in the World
War. They considered it was a war
TO end. war" but it did not work
that way. 1t made wars more likely
rather than less so.
This idea of fighting, or resorting
to forcible measures, to put down a
country that wants a war, does not
seem to work. The only other
course is to keep out of all wars.
That means absolute neutrality. It
means that the United States can
not furnish munitions or war sup
plies to any fighting country, and
its people must keep out of the war
area. That plan may mean abandon
ing some traditional rights, and op-
pOrtunities to make money. But for
every dollar we could make by SELL
ing war supplies to a fighting coun-
try, it would cost many thousands
of dollars if we got into a war.

HON IS YNuR HRAtfHi

Questions like the above will BIZ
addressed to the home folks by 5000
white collar workers from RELIEF
rolls. These queries are made un,
der the direction of the Federal Pub
lie Health Service. 1t is desired to
know how far sickness causes loss
of work and creates unemployment
Sickness and poor health are a
drag on the productive power of the
nation. If you are away from your
shop because some impudent germ
has settled himself on your lungs
or elsewhere, your productive power
has thereby declined. Unless your
pay keeps running on whether you
work or not, your purchasing power
has been hit.
If so, you can't buy so much of
other peoples products. They there
fore can not earn and spend so
much. Thus sickness interferes with
the earning and spending power of
the nation.
Sickness is a leading cause of pow
erty. Countless families were 60
ing strong, until the wage-earner
was stricken down. When his pay
envelope stopped, he had to draw
on his savings, if he had any. Other
wise he probably ran into debt. Thus
his misfortune has helped pile up
that load of debt under which the
nation is struggling.
1t is easy to get the facts on these
losses, but not so easy to cure them.
The remedy lies in generous appro-
DriatiOns and contributions for
health services, though this is not a
line when most people can afford
o increase these costs. But stint
ng the money that protects our
health is good deal like saving the
pennies while the dollars drop out
ii our pockets. If people would |
void vices, sleep nights, take prop /
II exercise, etc. they could usually |
ave their own health, and lift bur-
lens of poverty from many families.
