No announcements were made
during the morning, and Hull was
expected to throw some light on
developments at his 1890 p. m.
press conference.
AMERICAN INQUIRY
Presumably the specific subject
under discussion was the latest
American inquiry of Mexican Off
Gals as to arrangements for in
Identification by the Mexican gov
eminent for appropriation of the
more than $2OO,OO0,OOO of Amer
lean oil properties in Mexico, along
with appropriation of an equal
amount of British oil properties.
In the meantime, Treasury and
State Department officials de-
bated the question of further de
pressing the price of silver, =
ready driven down 2 cents by
moves at the Treasury Depart
ment over the past two days.
1t may be, in view of Cardenas'
action in calling a special session
of the Mexican congress, that the
United States will await action of
the legislature before taking final
policy-formulating steps.
WEIGH PLANS
American officials scrutinized
reported plans of the CardenaS
administration to put through
the legislature proposals for a
loan to cover part of the indemni-
fication and to lower recently
raised Mexican customs rates.
President Cardenas' course dur.
ing the past few days has given
the State Department no basis
for expectations that Mexico plans
any extensive modification of its
appropriation decree. Legal ex-
perts at the department studied
oil companies protest comprising
a 74-page brief and nearly 5000
exhibits.
STERN ATTITUDE
There was no doubt that this
Government has adopted a stern
attitude toward Mexico over the
appropriation proceedings, and
the State Department made it
clear that there are other pressure
steps under consideration, such as
withdrawal of INSTRUMENTATION
treatment and other benefits.
These have been variouSly de
scribed as "gratuitieS and favors'
by Government officials, which
this Government has a perfect
right to withdraw whenever it
sees fit.
At the same time, there was in
the picture, too, an extreme re.
luctance to deal so severely with
Mexico as to disturb this Govern.

HANGOVERS
BY LITTLE HElsKELL

The Great and Powerful coun-
try of England ran true to form
several days ago. Old John
Bull told the czechs to stand
fast and not bulge an inch. Hit
Ter was bluffing and if the Ger
mans crossed the border that

were told but when they looked
to the rear for support, John
Bull and the Frenchmen were
so far in the distance that they
couldn't see 'em.
This fellow Hitler seems to
have 'em stopped. He's got what
it takes to scare the big fellows
and methinks no war will be on
the program until he tries to
arab some of the EngIishman's
territory. Then you'll hear the
lion roar and the little nations
who hesitate to help Merry Ole
England wilt certainly be UNI
grateful. The way it looks to
me is that England is helping
Hitler build up his country to
the point where, when war is
declared, he will be harder to
beat. John Bull says he must
wait until his armament pro-
gram is completed. That's fine,
but what's Hitler going to do in
the meantime-knit sweaters?
The world should bill that
settlement as the "sellout of the
century," Why towards the end
of the arguement, France and
Britain even insisted that the
Czechs give Hitler a slice of
their land in order to appease
the dictator's appetite for more
power. | wonder what the
deserted Czechs will say when
Germany decides to grab off a
slab of English territory?
They oughta declare a holiday!
Politically, we are glad to re-
port everything quiet along the
Democratic front. This is due
to the fact that both factions
are still in the trenches. If this
contest keeps up we'll have to
extend the Governors term to
six years = four years in office
and a waiting period of two
years in order to give the other
candidates time to recount and
argue.

SEVERE PENALTIES FOLLOW NEGLECT
POst=Natal Care Viewed From Medical Stand
 point Highly Important
By GEORGE DIERIEOx, M. D.

In many instances there is mis- taken impression among the laity that after a baby is born and the woman leaves the hospital "all is well' and that further observation or care from the doctor is just extra expense and unnecessary. Often the woman fails to return to the doctor for examination until she is again pregnant; or some years later consults doctor for a gynecologi- cal condition which might have been prevented by means of proper post partum care.
 Important Stage
 The six weeks immediately fol- lowing child birth has been referred to as the most important stage in the process of reproduction for the woman, from a medical standpoint.
 Why is this true? CD During pregnancy every organ in the body and particularly those of the pel- wis undergo changes adopting themselves to the pregnancy. Fol- lowing birth of the child these or gans should in about six weeks return to their near normal state a process which is known as in- volution. Without examination dur ing this time it is impossible to define whether involution is oc- curing as it sl1ould-and it does not always do so without proper medi- cal care.
 CD In only small percentage of cases is there not found some erosion or infection of the cerviX after the traunia resulting from child birth which should be and can be treated in a simple manner with excellent results; but which if neglected may be of serious i'm port in later years. While the spe- cific etiology of cancer of the cer- vix is still unknown it is true that many of our prominent Gynecolo- giStS feel that neglected infections of the cervix are an important pre- disposing factor to the development of cancer in this region.
 RetroversiOn
 (3) In many instances after the birth of the child condition known as retroversion Clipping back) of the uterus follows. About 95 percent of these uteri can be replaced to their anterior position by examination and if held there for few weeks with the aid of a pessory, which can be worn with out discomfort to the patient, will stay in the anterior position with out more ado. This one factor alone would eliminate the numerous and
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-03-10

to my mind often unnecessary "sus- pension operation"
 (4) After the stretching imposed by pregnancy and labor certain of the abdominal muscles and pelvic structures never regain the com- plete form present before child birth-however the form of the structures can be greatly aided and relaxation improved by proper post partum exercises of these muscles.
 Adequate post partum care can be carried out with about 3 or 4 visits to the doctor in the 3 months after the child is born. If this care is given, the woman then has the reinsurance that "all is well" and that she is in proper condition for succeeding pregnancy if she desires more children.

 Don't Blame Children
 Are you going over to take pie lures of Betty Jane? Do you want to see Betty Jane,S teacher?" they ask of any stranger who appears.
 Linton is not much surprised at the unusual "child of children" !" Most people here knew for months what was going to happen. But the national attention the case has aroused does surprise Linton very much. Now that Linton realizes that national attention is making this baby Problem with a capital P instead of just baby born under unusual circumstances. it discusses the case freely. But there is no con- demnation. People gossip, but they are kindly in their appraisals of the children because of their tender ages.
 They don't blame either the boy father or the girl-mother. Its just a mistake" most of them say, though differing on how they think the problem should be solved.

Ben didn't think there was anthing so very unusual about the birth at the time. and calmly appeared at the local newspaper office to insert the customary birth notice.
