Heredity

@. Can one inherit a resistance
or predisposition to tuberculosis?
A. Such an inheritance would
help to explain the high mortality
rates and acute nature of the dis
ease in some races, such as Negroes,
Mexicans. African tribes, ETC., and
would help to explain the growing
resistance of a people long exposed
to the disease and in whom the less
resistant have been weeded out by
death from tuberculosis. Such in
heritance probably exists and plays
an important part in the gradual
decline of tuberculosis mortality,
but its proof Is somewhat difficult.

From Exchanges
SUBSTITUTE
(The Minneapolis Journal)

When the skids were so carefully
creased for the Townsend Plan, it was
given out that the old age assistance
allowances under the Social Security
Act would be much liberalized, to
show that the Administrations heart
still bleeds for the old folks.
So the House Ways and Means
committee comes to bat with a de-
cision to increase the Federal gov
ernment's commitment from Sis a
month to $40, on the usual condition
that the states match the payments
from the national treasury. This
looks like raise for the needy aged
ones, from a $50 to a $40 monthly
pension.
There is a catch in this, however.
Only three or four states, it is said,
now find themselves able to contri-
butte the SIS limit. The states are
hard up, their Legislatures have near
ly all adjourned, and it is doubtful
whether more than half a dozen OF
them will meet the $40 bid for an
other year or two. The action, for
the present at least, is little more
than a gesture. And the old folks
are getting older.

That, dear friends, is still moot

wants one, needs one; needs it, in
deed, very badly.
For about three months negotia-
tons have been in daily and energetic
progress between London and Mos
cow, but the difficulty still lies in the
fact that London offers what Mos
cow considers too little, and that
Moscow asks what London thinks is
too much.
London asks, in short, a pledge of

There also are rumorS that Ger
