off, Very gay and full of witty quips and

DIET TO BLAME
FOR THE HIVES
Wrong Food Is Cause of
Many Other Ailments.
By EDITH n. BARBER

CERTAIN foods which score the
~ best as far as nutritive value
Is concerned occasionally produce
disturbing symptoms when eaten by
some persons. Persons of this type
are said to be sensitive to certain
foods or to have food idiosyncra.
sizes.
This sensitiveness may be acute
or mild. The symptoms may be a
rash, asthma or a less acute form Of
nasal disturbance. Usually the of.
Tending food belongs to the protein
division. Eggs and milk are often
the offenders. Sometimes peas,
beans and whole grains, all of which
contain some protein, produce the
same effect. Shellish and straw.
berries, although the latter are low
in protein. are also often to blame
for hives and digestive upsets.
Usually food idiosyncrasies show
themselves in infancy. There are
cases. however, which develop in
later years, especially during perl
dds of nerve strain. Fortunately.
however, these conditions are usual
ly temporary.
Sometimes sensitiveness may be
reduced and sometimes cured by
giving minute but gradually in,
creasing quantities which eventual
ly create an immunity. This is ex
ceedingly important in the case Of
children when milk causes what is
known as an allergy. 1t is also i'm
portant in the case Of eggs, because
so many dishes contain them as ono
of the ingredients. Shell1sh and
strawberries may be avoided easily
If they cause trouble, but eggs and
milk may be present when it is not
apparent.

Rapidly Growing Liberal Party in Japan
Is Split on Fascism and Other Issues

they said they were guarding against
fascism, they envisaged a time when
Japan, before achieving a system of
real party politics, would have one
party. no-party regime; would enter
"one ideology."
The best definition which I have
heard of Social Mass is "a party Of
blank radicaliSm." That is. it may
go to the left, it may go to the right.
1t may be collared by the army.
Unhappy, extremely unhappy, one

Cling factions of Japan. sits the
emperor, divine. descended from the

an intelligent and likable man, with
taste for science. He takes no
political responsibility Of his own.
What direction he wishes for Japan
few know. Some liberals say that
in the last analysis constitutionalism
will be saved from the army by our
emperor" They declare that he is
with them.
Indeed he and the last Of the genro,
the aged Prince Saionji, are check

Aside from the appointment Of
premiers, upon the advice Of the
genro and others, as moderate as
the army would tolerate, the en-

and continues to check progress to
fascism.

that national government. If 1t makes
good its claim to be SUCH it is sure
to recover, somehow. that extra gold
reserve which has been accumulated
outside the field beaten by govern
mental DEGREES.
Seen from that angle, a new view
can be taken Of the flight Of capital to
foreign countries. 1t works as kind
Of insurance against the errors and
vagaries of an omnipotent govern
ment. But for it the national wealth
in its entirety would be staked upon
the experiment Of some adventurous
premier or finance minister And, as
all the eggs would have been put in the
same basket, very little would be
rescued out of the catastrophe We
had better leave that formidable risk

BY FRANK SMOTHERS.

TOKIO.-In the troubled political
pattern of Japan the position OF the
Social Mass party presents special
interest
Still far behind the conservative
Minseito and Seiyukai in Diet seats.
it nevertheless has established itself
as the one rapidly growing party in
Japan.
1t calls itself the champion of the
working people and peasants. It's
highly respected president, Prof
Iso-o Abe, is classified as a convinced
social democrat. Yet the psrty in
cludes men of far different political
persuasions and a great many oppor-
tunists.
Many liberals" in Japan consider
that it offers the only opportunity for
the intelligent democrats vote. But
the most intelligent of these have
their fears. In addition to social
democrats" there are in Social Mass
men suspected of consciously desiring
fascism; others essentially Fascist,
without knowing it; others who tumble
about in hazy theories which could
lead them to the moon or socialism
or fascism or what have you?
I have not talked with Abe, but
during this Japan visit have talked
with other leaders of Social Mass
whose views were recorded in another
sketch. When left them I was con-
vinced that despite their guarded
criticism Of the army, those particular
men realized that their big hope for
political success lay in potential
future understanding If not alliance
with the army.
And I remembered that, although

ago as last September the French
government was informed that Hitler
had been advised TO make use of the
social unrest among the French people
to strike blow. II can, therefore. be
suspected that In the present situation,
when the popular masses are dis
appointed and irritated, the ruler of
Germany has been told that, this
time, he must not allow the oppor-
tunlty to pass, and must force a
trial OF will (Which need not nee
essarllv lead to a trial of strength

powers that freedom Of movement in

must be regarded as the permanent

Important internationally.
There can hardly be any doubt that
were France TO be paralyzed by in
ternal disturbances, the peace of
Europe could be seriously jeopardized
at any moment, and that the favorable
results British rearmament has yielded
would be cancelled altogether. There
fore Frances home politics are su-
premely important upon the inter-
national plane. What, then. is the
issue which has so deeply stirred up
the French nation?
The issue that France has been
facing in recent months can be con-
venlently expressed through the slogan
coined by demagogues that, like the
cartel OF the Left in 1924 and 1892,
her present leaders have to fight with
their back to the Wall-the wall built
up OF money, Of capital funds which
while Leon Blum held the PREMIER
ship, at any rate-refused to comply
with the financial requirements of a
government Of sociallstic inspiration
The French government. more
closely than any other depends upon
the confidence 1t can inspire in the
mass OF investors. The French
national debt reaches the huge total
OF about 365 billion francs. and the
short term debt represented mainly
by treasury bonds, is not less than
some Is billions. And before the end
OF the year. to meet budget expendi-
lures in excess of regular receipts and
extraordinary expenditures not covered
by taxation 40 billions in all for the
year,. another 20 billions will have to
be borrowed, including the billions of
treasury bonds that happen to come to
maturity and will have to be re-
financed.
If the credit Of the French govern
ment had been good, 1t could have
provided itself, long ago, with the
necessary means Of discharging its
obligations. But the Blum govern
ment could borrow short-term only
at about 9 per cent-as against the
q or per cent paid by the British
and American treasures, respectively.
on their loans; for long term borrow
lngs, it was 7 per cent as against 3
per cent. AS long as the budget
appeared to be permanently unbal-
anced, France could not expect to find
a way out of the blind alley.
The new government of Premier
Camille Chautemps. with Georges
Bonnet as Finance Minister. is making
strenuous effort to correct this situ-
alton. On June 30 it devalued the
franc; but whether its step will have
any permanently beneficial results,
remains to be seen. Reports of the
