They should have rich pickings in the United States
though you would suppose they would have difficulty
in convincing their home governments that they go
through any grave perils to get the information they
unearth here Our coasts have been infinitely mapped
and anybody can come by the maps. Our congress
sonal debates are printed in full in the Congressional
Record, which anybody buy. From these and
similar Sources spies operating in the United States
learn just about all there is to learn concerning
national defense arrangements.
About the Fascist and Naz spies in South America
we think they the first signs of coming attempt by
European totaitarian states to crack the
~, u,.. casing of the Monroe Doctrine. Or If
1e ~ CUT =" the dictators aren't planning to estab
OO"'" A"'eT"" lish official colonies in South
America they are at least hoping to snatch the bulk of
South American trade from the United States and Great
Britain. They are already getting results.
We lean to the suspicion that the European dctators
are dreaming of actual empire in South America
day. that they won't be content with taking United States
and British trade. Africa and South America are two
huge rch continents inviting pioneers and coonsts.
Of the two South America is PROBABLY the richer and
certainly the rawer Africa being already carved among
the powers and pretty well done around the edges.
The Monroe Doctrine is very practical policy not just
prescription written by longdead dreamer President
Its main object and is to keep age-od European
o,. hates and rivaries from founding colonial
0O o'''p0 focuses of infection in the Western
E" O"e Hemisphere to bedevil the New World.
It's other object is to keep large pieces Of the Western
Hemisphere from becoming sewed up commercially to
the Old World.
Therefore to protect the Monroe Doctrine and to pro-
tect ourselves our defense plans should contemplate
of defense for South Americas coasts well as
for our own coasts We should pass the bgnavy BILL and
get busy at construction of the ships calls for
And we should both widen the Panama Canal, to
accommodate the bigger bateshps that coming, and
build the long discussed Nicaragua Canal We should be
able to shift ships rapidly between the Atlantic and the
Pacific; and two canals are better than one.
Our minimum naval policy should be two fighting ships
for every fighting ship built by Japan. What really
need is the best Navy in the world.

opinion, it is a splendid idea,

DR.. Fishbein holds that such a

Amazed at "Robe"

I am perfectly amazed at
Robes expression about Mrs.
LanSburgh. Any one that deals
with her knows how strictly
she sticks to truth. I cannot
imagine that the papers would
have taken her word without
seeing some proofs Of her &C
complishments.
When a woman Of her type
can make a success of such &
hard business and gain the re-
pect of every one that meets her,
she would not fail to work out
her suggestion With her actions
and spirit she has proven that
the Austrian people deserve

Of kings being raised to a higher
social plane should bend every
effort to muster enough strength
to insure a more tolerant feel

One fact must of necessity be
noted in the manner which the
opponents of the Sacks measure
played their cards. They knew
how to place their money where
it would do the greatest good,
and so by virtue of sowing
the seeds of propaganda among
the pussy footing" 'holier-

The Racing Bill

Certain Of our citizenry cling
to the belief that the bill to
legalize horse racing and bet
ting in the National Capital,
which met defeat recently in
the House District Committee,
primarily through the efforts Of
Congressman Merlin Hull of
Wisconsin, was aided and
abetted by the workings Of a
clever lobbying group supported
by the gentlemen who control
the destiny Of the Districts
gambling clientele.
Along the curhstone and in
other hauntS, where turf iol-
lowers are won't to confer, local
cars were reported to have
raised a tidy $4,000 purse to
be used to foreStall and ulti-
maCeIy oe1eaC the measure Spon-
Sored by Representative Leo
Sacks. which if passed would
have sounded the death-knell
for those suave patrons who
control the "bangtail" industry
in and around these parts. APP
parently having met with sue

people continue to call in doc
tors when they are right sick,
and the policy Of medical col
urnnists has invariably been to
recommend direct consultation
at the slightest sign Of danger
as evidenced by pain or even
inconvenience. What bothers
me is the fear that DR.. Calver's
altruism is going to mean a less
efficient healing service for our
national lawmakers.
THE good doctor must be an
= extremely busy man. On
his list he has 435 members of
the House and SO Senators. In
addition, I am given to under
stand, he hands out medical
advice and direction to every
body on Capitol Hill. If you
average three helpers to each
lawmaker, never mind the regu-
lar administrative staff, one
can readily see that the good
doctor must be buster than q
bird dog. He will need more
help as a columnist-and who is
going to pay for itp
Here is what he promises to
do for his new clientele: The
Daily Columnette: The Daily
Question Box; and a personal
letter in answer to every readers
individual health and medical
question. Now all that is not
fair to the good doctor, nor is it
fair to our national lawmakers.

near-fistic encounter between
Senators Copeland and Nickel

point that the bitten finger was
a bad-tempered old mans own
fault, might wave Mcclellan

long-distance treatment Of a
blameless little boy. Think Of
the fix Mcclellan would be in!
The only other physician in the
immediate vicinity Of the Senate
would be Copeland, the man
who had just bitten him. We

SGTF your body is troubling you"
writes the good doctor in his
preliminary blurb to his pro-
posed added fields of activity,
"the same doctor who attends
our Senators a n d Representa-
tives stands ready and willing to
offer his health advice to any
interested reader"
And the doctor goes on:
"Give me 5 per cent Of your
time-and I'll keep you healthy"
In return for that 5 per cent Of
time from a huge new field Of
patients, Doctor, you would have
to give quite a percentage Of
your own time. And your time
is at present being paid for by
your country in return for your
care of the health Of many of
its most distinguished citizens.

valuable a person in his present
capacity ever to be permitted to
