Aroused over reports that lash

only one other city, private medical
and civic workers today planned an
appeal to Congress for funds for
further expansion of public health
services.
A leader in the movement, which
was prompted by declarations oy

will be DIR. Charles 3. Campbell, chair
man of the Public Health Committee

DR.. Ruhland also has won indorse-
ments for his programs from the Dis

The drive will be intensified as
q result of the action of the Budget
Bureau in slashing the 1887 budget
proposals for the Health Depart
ment, as formulated by the Commis-
sioners, who previously had reduced
requests filed by Dr. Rutland.
The Commissioners sought $542.-
900 for the department for next year.
The Budget Bureau cut the sum to
s5O7, ,OO0 This latter figure, although
an increase over the appropriation OF
s474.O00 for the current year, Is far
less than DR.. Rutland held neces-
sary for proper expansion of various

and its suggestion of economic sanctions to prevent

In 1.-The Peace of Dives" Rudyard Kipling, 40
years ago, imagined a money-lender as frustrating
the Devils personal purpose to bring war to the
world. Dives refused to lend money to finance
the simplest of sanctions.
Unfortunately the sanctions idea hasn't worked WELL
The Confederacy was almost completely blockaded.
But it fought for four years against overwhelming
numbers. Germany effectively isolated but stood
off the combined strength of civilization.
Because petroleum producers are not very popular.
there is little protest of proposal to cut off their
business with belligerents. But cotton is
more necessitous munition and wheat is at least
important. Imagine the howl that would go up If

CANCTIONS are slender reed both because they

The truth is that, in the unhappy hostility per-
vadng the postwar world, ordinary international
commercial relations have themselves become sort
of subliminal war-economc war with quotas tariffs,
cartes, devaluation of money, Reputation of debts

conclusion that combat is better than cooperation
In that sense the economic world already is at war
and we had better take no Observation-Disclosures by

shame corporation executives into being less greedy
But rightly suspecting that shame wouldn't have
much effect, the Administration went still further
Railroad Co-ordinator Eastman forced railroad
presidents down to $4,000 wage scale. Congress
forbade ar-mai contract holders from paying SAL

a limit of $4,000 on salaries of companies drawing
government subsidies
Chairman Jesse Jones of the RFC was especially
hardboied Being in the business of lending to large
corporations he was in position to crack the whip
The RIG Act was amended under the New Deal to
prohibit loans to any applicant paying unreasonably
excessive salaries. One railroad obtained an RFC

dtioned upon go per cent cut of all salaries above
100000 and of not less than 10 per salaries
of $4,000 to $4,000
All of which gives some idea of what the Admins
tration regarded as reasonable salaries-for old
dealers.
THAT is why it was considerable of shock in
Washington to discover that Walter CUMMINGS
treasurer of the Democratic national committee who
was put into the Continental Illinois Bank and Trust
