There are striking contrasts in
meat consumption throughout the
world. The peoples of New Zealand,
Australia and Argentina lead with
consumption well over 200 pounds

consume about 140 pounds per cap

College Hides Chestnut Trees
From North Carolina Plague

RALEIGH, N. C.-Like modern
Noahs fleeing before the deluge of a
deadly blight, botanists at North
Carolina State college are rearing
young chestnut trees here, tremu-
lously hopeful that the Asiatic blight
will not find them out this far from
the chestnut's natural habitat. When
the scourge has killed the last tree
in the highlands and has no further
victims to feed upon, the young
trees thriving on the campus here
will be available for the eons-long
task of replenishing the earth.
They will not have long to wait
Two decades ago the chestnut was
one of North Cardinals most lordly
trees. Highly priced as lumber, it
also was valuable for chemical ex-
tracts, and for pulp. But chiefly it
was beloved because of its fruit
the succulent chestnut. Twenty-Five
years ago, mountain wagons, drawn
by oxen, brought full loads of the
chestnuts down into the foothill
towns, making trips which lasted a
week or two.
Once Furnished Bread.
Large, easily cracked (and, alas,
oftentimes wormy), the chestnut
was almost the official nut of North
Carolina. To the Cherokees of the
Smokes, the chestnut was a tradi-
tional food, and the meat of the
nut was dried, ground into a meal

NEW YORK, Dec. IA health

had his buildup earlier. The nomi-
nation of John w. Davis by the
Democrats in 1924 was another case
in point; such public demand as
existed in the Democratic rank and
file that year was for the two men,
AL Smith and McAdoo, who killed
each other off.
AL Smith an Exception.
Mr.. Smiths candidacy in 1923
was an exception to the rule, for
by that time he had acquired great
popular strength and so, also, to
some degree, was the winning effort
Of Herbert Hoover to become the
Republican standard bearer, though
a lot of hard organization work
including roundup Of Southern
delegates, went into his race.
The great strength of Mr.. Roose-
velt was gained after, not before
his first nomination in 1882. Jim
Farley won that nomination for him
by the hardest kind of plugging
1t was not the result of a spon-
oetiACouo aCi1idllll 1lOIIl tllC ptUDlt
And Mr.. Roosevelt could have been
stopped" at Chicago if the "allies"
against him had sunk their jeal-
ousies and pooled their resources.
His candidacy in 1896, of course,
was of a different sort, but Mr..
Landon's was not. He, too, was a
hot-house creation.
The whole point Is that a presi-
dental nomination, in the first in
stance, is likely to be won by an
intensive hunt for delegates or by
trading or both. Candidates. as a
rule, go out to get the presidential
office, they don't stand back and
wait for summons. At the very
least, when events compel a wait
ing attitude, they nourish in un-
obtrusive ways the tender plant of
public sentiment.
There are grounds for fair crit
icism of Mr.. McNutt's drive for the
presidency, but the fact that it is
synthetic is not one of them. It
is not one, that is to say, unless you
want to tar a large array of can
didates, past and present, with ex-
actly the same stick.

Vic ~ $1,000
product of a great popular demand
In the sense in which the wore
is applied to the aspirations of Mr.
McNutt, it means, the dictionary
says, mot genuine, artificial, facti-
tious." That is the meaning that
the public learned to attach to ii
in the days of bathtub gin.
Mr.. McNutt's candidacy, granted
is synthetic. 1t is something that
is being assiduously built up by him
and his friends in Washington and
the State of Indiana. There is no
swelling national cry for the serv-
ices of Mr.. McNutt as President.
But wherein does the campaign
for Mr.. McNutt, in this respect,
differ so greatly from the booms
that are being nourished on be-
half of the other candidates?
Unless it may be said that the
third-term efforts represents a
surge of popular sentiment for the
denomination of Mr.. Roosevelt (and
this is a question that only time
can answer, where is the man, on
either side, who has inspired such
a public clamor for his election as
President that the candidacy of Mr.
McNutt, by contrast, can be dis
missed as synthetic?
No Clarion Call From Public.
The answer is that neither among
the Democrats nor the Republicans
is there any such candidate-a fact
which accounts for the uncertain
state of affairs on both sides and
the third-term movement on the
Democratic.
Mr.. Garner, Mr.. Hull. Mr.. Far
ley, Senator Wheeler, Gov. Stark
are all worthy men, all eminently
entitled on their records to aspire
to the presidency, but no clarion
call comes from the public for any
one of them. The candidates., ac-
tual or potential, of all these gentle
men are little if any less synthetic
than that of Mr.. McNutt.
Among the Republicans the same
COIlolllOll cAlStS, Will IeSptCt W
Senator Vandenberg, Senator Taft,
Mr.. Dewey, Gov. Bricker and all the
rest. None of them is a standout.
OF none can it be said that he is
the genuine, blown-in-th -the-bottle
article demanded by the public in
place of something artificial and
Fictitious.
1t is not to cry down any of the
men who have been named to say
that their claims are all very largely
of the same synthetic quality that
has been derided in the case of
Mr.. McNutt The truth is that this
quality, at least in the beginning.
has attached to the candidacy of
nearly every successful aspirant to
the presidential nomination of
either party in recent times.
Go back to 1920. If there was
ever any built-up candidate for
whom there was no popular clamor
it was Harding, the choice of little
coterie of Republican moguls in the
famous smoke-filled room at Chi
cago. The winning race for the
nomination on the other side, by
Gov. Cox, had a similar artificial
flavor.

case of Coolidge in 1924. He had

And What
They Do
Pon-Europeon Union
First VisuoIized by
Austrian Count
BY LEMUEL F. PARTON.

On the day the war broke out q
hostess up in our country town
started an interesting game. Each
Of about 20 dinner guests wrote and
sealed prophecy of the trend of the
war, to be opened in three months.
We opened them several nights ago.
We were all wrong on all counts.
All had foreseen a "blitzkrieg" and
nobody a stalema0. None foresaw
the intensifYng political war.
Extending the test a few years
back, world statesmen would have
been similarly embarrassed, Judging
from their previous outgivings. A
conspicuous exception would be the
Austrian Count Coudenhove-Kale
pioneering European federation
for the last 16 years. He described
precisely in advance the breakdown
of the Kellogg treaty and all other
peace pacts, Russias pull away from
the West and its ascendancy as a
sinister Asiatic power, the vacillat-
Ing opportunism of Italy and its
grand opera gesture of empire, and,
with a solemn warning of gloom and
doom, war which would render
old political formulas merely aca-
demic.
1t was on March 13, 1898, that he
fled from Austria. He must have
had his suitcase packed. None had
foreseen so clairvoyantly what lay
ahead. In the gloomy old palace
OF the Hapsburgs in Vienna, head
quarters OF his European Union,
he left his slice of the all-Europe
dream. But only temporarily. Still
active In France, England and
Switzerland, he finds, within the
last month, strong revival of the
plan for federated Europe, and
this resurgence has brought fore
ward and validated much of his
work and recruited powerful and
effective leaders behind an effort
to achieve continental economic
and cultural union.
A slender, poetic young man, with
ascetic and scholarly features, he
published his book, "Pan-Europe,
in 1923. 1t was penetrating study
OF historical backgrounds and star
tlingly prophetic in charting the
years ahead. He then took the lead
in organizing the European
Union. He received surprising sup
port for what seemed at the time
a highly dubious proposal. Falling
In were Herriot of France, Strese-
mann of Germany. Nitti of Italy and
other powerful leaders of European
political opinion. His plan was ad-
vancing rapidly until 1882, when
Herriot angrily resigned from the
union because of letter the count
had written him. In this letter the
count warned against crushing the
German republic and predicted that
such treatment would provoke
dangerous reaction in Germany.
The count was born to be an in
ternationalist. His father was the
Austro-H Hungarian Ambassador to
Japan. His mother was japanese
and his grandmother was a Greek
heiress. He was for several years
professor of philosophy at the Uni
versity of Vienna.
