N. Y. State Politics Have Effect Nation
 Affairs Of Politics
By Byron Price

 (Chief of Bureau, The Associated
 Press, Washington, D. O
 New York state Democratic poli- tics is in turmoil again, and it is inevitable that Washington will feel important repercussions.
 For one thing, every President is especially particular, for obvious reasons, about retaining what con- trol he can over his party in his home state. For another thing, New Yorks voting strength in national conventions and in the electoral col lege is so great that no President coming up for reelection would want to disregard local developments there.
 Furthermore, MT. Roosevelt has three New Workers in his cabinet One of them, Postmaster General Farley, happens to be the Roosevelt campaign manager and also the Dem ocratic state chairman. The other tWo-Secretaries Morgenthau and Perkins-never have been especial ly active in New York politics. but their cabinet rank makes them fact ors in whatever readjustment may take place.
 Altogether, it may be taken for granted that everything affecting the New York Democratic situation will be weighed very carefully in the highest political. precincts in the national capital

The bill will make no major change from a similar one passed by the senate, except that it will expire February 18th, when a permanent bill is to be drawn.

battles in his newspaper. During the
past few years in Minnesota he de-

ing on vice and gambling conditions,
and was an avowed critic of Governor
Floyd B. Olson.
The Liggetts had just returned
from their shopping tour and had
alighted from the automobile when 4

against Liggett's back and fatally
shot him to death Immediately the

INTERNATIONAL
NEWS REVIEW
By GEORG sTRANDvOLD

Today, December IL. the League of
Nations sanctions committee gathers
at Geneva to fix the date for oil. coal,
iron and steel embargos becoming ef-
fective against Italy as a penalty for
her aggressive war against Ehior ia,
and as an attempt to stop that con-
flict. The action today does not
as a good many people seem to be-
lieve-mean that oil sanctions become
effective now; it is merely a question
of deciding upon the date.
In fact, one may say that it is a
question whether the sanctions will
be applied, at all. If they will. it will
not be right away. For the situation
is still, as it was three months ago,
when the British League of Nations
minister, Anthony Eden. referred to
it, lin the lap of the gods'-that is,
entirely muddled.
Peace Propositions.
1t is quite clear that some of the
League powers. especially Great Brit
ain and France are worried about the
oil sanctions. for Italy has repeatedly
limited that their application Will
mean war. Although Prime Minister
Mussolini's threat sof going to war
against fifty-two League nations is
plain bluff. it is conceded that he can
still cause much trouble, and for that
reason attempts ARE being made to
avoid, if possible. the use of oil sane
tions as a last resort. In fact, it is
being whispered around the Eur p an
capitals that probably the sanctions
will not be applied, or that if Italy
does not back down, they may not
become effective this year.
Instead of sanctions. Great Britain
and France at the present moment
are using peace propositions. Satur-
day and Sunday the British foreign
minister, Sir Samuel Hoare. had 1

T. B. BATTLE
MUST GO ON
Deaths in the United States During
Past 2S Years Have Constantly
Decreased.

Deaths from tuberculosis have con-
stantly decreased in the United States
the last 2S years according to an an
nouncement from the Minnesota Pub
lie Health Association committee and
this decrease does not mean that the
disease is no longer dangerous.
Members of the Public Health Edu-
cational Committee Of the Minnesota
State Medical Association endorse the
continuous fight against tuberculosis
financed by the Christmas Seals in
their regular bulletin issued today
because they believe the Minnesota
death rate from this dread disease
would rise swiftly if the fight cam
paign against the disease were al
lowed to lapse.
Tuberculosis is the same menace
it always was. only our defenses
against it have improved" the doctors
say in this bulletin.
Little Seals Help.
These defenses have not been al
lowed to fall down even during the
mol dSPi sSoi o. A"A 81.
to the energetic campaign waged con-
tinuously by the Christmas Seal or
CARNATIONS. Thanks to this campaign
our Minnesota death rate is 35.4 for
each 100000 this year as compared to
about 10 per 100000 in 1907"
Recent interesting figures from
Puerto Rico are cited to bear out the
statement. In pre-depression years
the tuberculosis death rate in the is
land was about 100 per 100000 popu-
lation. Health and sanitary measures
were neglected during the depression
years and the rate promptly sky rock
eted. Last years death rate was
three times as high as a result of
this neglect and in spite of the fact
that life is a little easier on the tu-
berculous in a tropical island where
food and shelter and sunshine are
not difficult to secure.
There is no doubt in the minds Of
the physicians that the same thing
would happen in Minnesota if the
fight against tuberculosis is relaxed
in any of its phases here.
