A WOMAN'S VIEWPOINT
BY Mrs. Walter Ferguson

"XXTOMEN who take no interest in politics and
w have no opinions about governmental affairs
are menace to democracy" says DR.. Helen Dwight
Reed of Buffalo
But why confne the charge to women? Democ-
racy is menaced far more by men who take no
interest in politics In that respect both sexes are
guilty, but because of their experience and their
greater power the men are the more cupable.
little soiourn in any state capital where you
can observe the inner political workings or little
nosng into Washington affairs, will convince you
of one thing. Men, in the main, concerned
chiefly with using their government. A good deal
of their patriotism is cloak for self-exploitaton.
Their party is ladder up which they hope to
mount to personal glory. In short they love their
country for what they can get out of it,
Those other men who sincerely are trying to
give honest service to national matters are con-
stantly at the mercy of hordes of politicians who go
to any lengths to persuade them to betray those
who have elected them.
The only persons who can remedy this condi-
tion and it is certainly serious are those who are
out of politics entrely-the voters. And unfortu-
nately they too busy with other things to
bother
Women in groups, should say, are now doing
much more than men to get at the truth about
national affairs While there is room for improve
ment, feminine organizations take keener interest
in government policies than masculine ones
speak, of course, of organizations and individuals
who have nothing to gain by such interest except
decent government for themselves.
From the look of things, need citizens de-
Tense committee to save from our politicians
We need it great deal more than we need large
Army and powerful Navy. Before we give the boys
military training why not give them an education
in real citizenship? Teach them to vote intellgently
first, and perhaps they won't have to fight later

SEES REASON FOR YOUNG
TO BE AFRAID

BY Hiram Lackey
Your editorial praising the expe-
dlency of Owen D. Young cries out
for the "other side" Justice de-
mands that the hidden motive be
revealed.
Mr.. Young is afraid that Repub-
licans and Democrats will get angry
enough in this campaign to start
telling the actual truth about each
other. Since his own power and that
Of his friends rest on a foundation
Of newspaper falsehoods, he has
good reason to be afraid.
In your plea for moderation, re-
member this: Our country needs
action. Men act from their feelings.
not from reason or logic, except as
thinking affects their feelings or
emotions.
II you and Mr.. Young were in
positions where your greatest re-
wards would result from your stat
ing facts in terms of reality, you
would have emphasized that the
danger is in political orators who
speak their perjudices springing
from selfish interests.
You would welcome the help of
Father Coughlin in exposing those
who would distort facts. You
would develop the courage to pub
lish both side of the controversy.
We need to regain the virile spirit
of Patrick Henry. This is the

TODAY'S SCIENCE
by DAVID DIETZ-

A MOTHER Is years will see most
Il of the major discomforts of
present-day life eliminated with
homes built along new lines lighted
in new ways and heated in new
ways. This is the consensus of a
group of industrial leaders whose
opinions upon variety of subjects
have been collected by the National
Machine Tool Builders Association.
William B. Stout, president of
Stout Engineering Laboratories, pre-
diets that the home of the future
will be air-cooled in summer as well
as heated in the winter and that
Sound-proof insulation will keep out
all outside noises.
City jewellers will be relieved of
the noise Of city streets and of
neighbors' radios and the common
bitterness caused by these and other
noises will be unknown, he says.
The circulation of washed air
through the house will eliminate
most of the present drudgery of
busting and cleaning while auto
matte laundry equipment will fur
Their reduce the burden of household
management.
Raymond Loewy, products de-
signer, believes that the most i'm
portant contributions of the next Is
years will be Improvements in de-
pendability. He looks forward to
shower baths that won't suddenly
turn from warm to scalding, auto
mobile windshields that won't be-
come covered with frost. better
razors, and railroad trains that will
stop without waking up all the pull
man passengers with sudden jerk.

TEMPORARY TAXES

TO-DAY let's talk about the $517ooo,ooO in pro-
posed temporary taxes This is the amount
needed to straighten out the governments budget
for this fiscal year providing the Treasury with the
it failed to get because the Supreme Court
voided processing taxes
part of this the Administration proposes to
raise by a so-called "windfan tax" to take from
professors money which they collected from
ers but didn't pass on to the government. This, we
believe, is just taxation.
The remainder of the $517OOOOO0, the President
suggested in his tax message, might be raised by
processing taxes on agricultural products spread
two three years
If there were no other way of raising the money
such a proposal might be accepted complacently
But since there are other ways, it is pertinent to
ask If this disguised sales tax is the best
The old processing taxes sales taxes, it is
true. But they were levied only against the COM
modities whose production was controlled, and for
which benefits were paid to farmers. They had the
virtue of making each commodity pay its own way in
the farm program.
But the proposed new processing taxes have not
that virtue. They would be smaller, but would be
levied against wider list of farm commodities in
''.1ing those which have not been helped by the
farm program Thus they become discriminatory
taxes.
Nor should we be lulled by the adjective "tem-
porary For temporary taxes-especally those of the
invisible painless" variety as these new processing
levies would behave very bad habit of becoming
permanent The so-called luxury or nuisance taxes
we're put on the books in 1882 for temporary
period of two years Secretary of the Treasury
Ogden Mills asked for them Ito balance the budget"
But the budget still not balanced in 1884 so the
nuisance taxes were extended for one more year
And in 1895. they extended for two more years
AND in 1887 we'll probably hear request for further
extension
Far better we believe. that this same money be
raised by courageous income tax. such as Senator
, La Toilette proposes broadening the base so as to
bring in large number of income taxpayers
and graduating the rate from the bottom upward
Such a tax would ne visible and painful and much
more apt to be temporary.

READER HAS KIND WORD
FOR NATIONAL GUARD

BY Another Guardsman
H. B. Howe, you are not the only
person that's been in the fourth
grade. I was too, but when I was
in the fourth grade 1 saw a lot of
those guardsmen march off to
France and many of them didn't
return.
From what I gathered from your
article appearing in this column Feb.
%, the National Guard is used for
one purpose only: To crush the poor
people, But it is not. What do you
think goes to take over prison riots,
floods, cyclones, earthquakes when
things get serious, the Camp Fire
Girls?
I've been in the Guard II years
and proud of it, because it has
taught me to respect the rights Of
others and law and order 1 also
have been working man for IA
years.
Would you make such statements
about the city police, sheriffs, regu-
lar Army and state police, SO why
pan the Guard?
Maybe you can tell Lieut.. Roesin-
ger who is responsible for condi-
tionS.
1 would rather have a single track
mind that ran straight ahead than
one that runs in a circle.

STAIN, WAR AND OUR NEUTRALITY

CTAL1N talks of war Of two focal points of dan
~ ger-one on the Far East in the zone of japan
and the other in Europe in the zone of Germany"
OF menacng dangers compared to which the
Italian Ethiopian conflict is an episode"
OF Russa's intention to attack if Japan wedges
into Outer Mongolia.
Of q Hitler who not dispense with threats
even when he speaks peace"
Of two enemies one to the East and one to the
West. OF 1T" which may come Unexpectedly"
since nowadays wars are not declared They simply
start"
Never was an interview more direct and specific
than that which Stain gave to Roy W. Howard in
Moscow. None of the confusing and cautious Ian
guage which so frequently hides the real meaning of
what is said on such occasions.
Throughout in his discussion of war and peace.
Japan and Hitler, capitalism, Communism Socialism
and Russian American relations, Stain made him
self clear.
So know from the highest authority in a ma
in its military and feverishly growing stronger, that
the prospect of war is being contemplated not as
a possibility, but a probability
And what Stain says adds to the rapidly mount
ing accumulation of evidence that another world
conflict is in the offing.
The assassinations in Japan, the growing power of
the mitarist faction there, the white paper issued
in London yesterday on Great Britains new re-
armament program dispatches telling of the gloomy
prophecies of European statesmen the jittery condi-
ton of the mind of Europes man-in-the-street
stories of how the "haves of the world lining up
bellgerently against the "have nots" all those de-
tails merely add to the picture
In the meantime-what do we do? We pass
halfbaked neutrality act and turn to other things
rs it not significant that Premier Mussolini, the
most active war lord in the world today, gave to
that neutrality law his benign approval in state
ment issued only yesterday?
The law forbids the sale of arms to belligerents.
1t forbds the lending of money to belligerents 1t
authorizes the President at his discretion, to with
draw the protection of the United States govern
ment from Americans travelling on vessels flying
beligerents flag But it does not forbid or even
limit the building up of synthetically prosperous
American trade in war materials other than arms,
other peoples war. And therein lies the danger of
repetition of what happened to from 1914 to that
fatefu day in April 1917
Even if we had comprehensive neutrality we
still might be able to keep out. But we should
have better chance.
Yet why talk of additional legislation? This is
election year. and neutrality verboten subject.
Wen have to try to get along with the law have.
Well have too try, if the break does come, to keep
from being jockeyed we were 20 years ago, into
favoritism toward side We hope good reso-
lutions will not be put to test.

INTRODUCTION of liver, or liver

of extracts of the stomach wall,
have served to restore to normal the
blood of many persons suffering
from pernicious anemia.
There are two varieties of ane-
Interpretations anemia, which
comes from failure of the body to
provide certain essential substances
associated with development of the
blood; and secondary anema, which
follows all sorts of degenerative and
infectious diseases.
Before the liver and stomach wall
treatment was discovered, pernicious
anemia was considered fatal. Now,
with use of liver, or extracts of liver,
as the doctor prescribes, the disease
is we'll in hand.
Of course, the doctor must study
the blood count regularly, to see
that the liver diet has the desired
effect. And with the liver must go

FINDS HAGOOD PENALTY
FULLY JUSTIFIED

BY E. B. Chenoweth, Seymour
Maj. Gen. Johnson Hagood was
justly penalized. He was called upon
and permitted Ito speak their mind
and judgment freely in answering
questions asked them in hearing.
Army regulations prevent officers
from criticising or praising their
superiors. His vitriolic and loose
tongue, at least by implication,
criticised the President, who is
Commander in-Chief of the Army
and Navy. Not to discipline
would license every officer and every
enlisted man to say what he pleased.
This would absolutely foster trouble
and destroy discipline.
1t is absolutely impossible to have
democratic Army. This has been
proved by practically every country
in the world Furthermore, there is
no justification in trying to make
political capital by saying the order
was mot routine form but actuated
by executive pique" The order was
phrased exactly as all other of the
kind are.

DEATH CLAIMS
TCHITCHERIN

MOSCOW, July 8.-Georgi Vas
silievitch Tchitcherin, former So
Wet commissar for foreign af-
fairs, died last night in the
Kremlin Hospital of diabetes
from which he had suffered
since 1925.
The discovery of insulin pro-
longed his life but came too late
to check the disease. He was
unable to work for the last seven
years.
Mr.. Tchitcherin was born in
1872 of a noble family which
claimed descent from the Roman
Cicero. He joined the revolu.
tionary party in 1904 but did
not become a Bolshevik until
shortly before the Soviet revolu-
tion.
He was foreign commissar from
1918 until 1880. He headed the
Soviet delegation at the Genoa
conference in the spring of 1922.
