Common Sense
About Constipation

A doctor would tell you that the
best thing to do with constipation
is get at its cause. That way you
don't have to endure it first and
try to cure it afterward-you can
avoid having it.
Chances are you won't have to
look far for the cause if you eat
the super-refined foods most
people do. Most likely you don't
get enough "bulk"! And bulk"
doesn't mean a lot OF food. It
means q kind of food that isn't
consumed in the body, but
leaves a soft bulky" mass in the
inteStines.
If this is what you lack, try
crisp crunchy Kellogg's All-Bran
for breakfast. 1t contains just the

open to all the world our present

ideas upon which a new world order
can rest.
We have before us as an object
lesson the great experiment of Rus

of the outcome of the Socialist move
ment which found its main embodi-
ment in Communism after l848,
there can be little dispute now of
the fundamental nobility of the con-
ception of a worldwide interna- =
tional system of social justice, q
world peace, from which the incen-
tive of private profits was to be elm

this movement encountered repres-
sion. It could not say what it had
to say plainly and fearlessly. 1t was
universalism with an involuntary
hole -and-corner flavor.
The result Of suppressing the full.
free discussion of revolutionary pro-
posals, even of the extremist revo-
lutionary proposals, IS to force them
underground. This sort of thing does
not save an outworn and decaying

LONDON.
To the Editor of the Times:
Sir: I have been following the
correspondence upon war aims in
your columns with considerable at
tention. In many respects it recalls
the war aims controversy of 1917-l8,
when the CreWe House organization
did its unsuccessful best to extract
from the foreign office a precise
statement of what the country was
fighting for (see Sir Campbell
Stuart's Secrets of Crewe House'D.
No such statement was ever pro-
duced. and the great war came to a
ragged end in mutual accusations of
broken promises and double-crossing.
Even then there was a worldwide
feeling that a great revolution in
human affairs was imminent; the
phrase, "A war to end war" expressed
that widely diffused feeling, and
surely there could be no profounder
break with human tradition and ex-
listing forms of government than
that. But that revolution did not
realize itself. The League of Ma
tions, we can all admit now, was
poor and ineffective outcome of that
revolutionary proposal 20 Danish
armed conflict from the world and
inaugurate a pew life for mankind.
1t was too conservative of existing
things, half-hearted, diplomatic.
And since. as more and more of
us are beginning to realize now,
there can be no more peace or
safety on earth without profound
reconstruction of the methods of
human living, the great war did not
so much come to an end as shoulder
through two decades, the fatuous
2Os and the frightened 3Oc, to
flare up again now. Now at
level of greater tension, increased
violence and destructiveness and
more universal suffering, we are
back to something very like 1914,
and the decisive question before our
species is whether this time it will
set its face resolutely towards that
drastic remoulding of ideas and re-
lationships, that world revolution,
which it has shirked for a quarter of
a century.
Full Discussion Necessary.
1t that revolution is to be brought
of successfully and give renewed
lease to human happiness and effort,
it is to be brought off only by the
fullest, most ruthless discussion of
every aspect and possibility of the
present situation. Nobody and no
group of people knows enough for
this immense reorganization, and
unless we can have full and fear
less public intercourse of minds
Evening star., 1939-10-26

ize that phase Of worldwide plenty
and safety that we have every reason
to suppose attainable, then we have
to discuss simply and sincerely and
work out plans for the polite medi-
atlzation of monarchies, the COM
petent pooling and socialization of
the natural resources and staple in
dustries Of the world, the revision
and extension of our universities and
other knowledge organizations, and
the establishment of worldwide
rising level of common education.
These are main aspects Of the task
obviously before us. It is a quite
hopeless task unless it Is undertaken
in blaze of lignt. To suppress open
Evening star., 1939-10-26

discussion, even the discussion Of
treason and revolution, for some
slight or fancied strategic advantage
is to sacrifice our end to our means.
The war, under the auspices of
A. r. p. is darkening everything.
Are we to have as much light as that
in the streets of the world? If not;
If we are to 60 on with this present
regime Of vague insincerities, mutual
distruct and sabotage, I, for one, can
see no hope for mankind. More of
this sort of thing, and worse to a
final extinction.
Yours faithfully,
