Dorothy Dix Says>>>
Sometimes a 'Wife.Spanker'
Becomes a 'Wife.Saver'

Dear Dorothy DIX read with
great interest the letter in your COL
umn from the woman who wanted
to know If she should consider mar
rying man who frankly told her he
would spank his wife should she
become in need of such stern treat
ment. I wish I could tell this girl
of my experience and my thankful
ness that my husband had the
courage to act when he realized he
had a spoiled child on his hands in
stead Of a wife.
My parents adored me and they
did not believe child should be
punished. no matter what it did, so
l grew up ruling the household from
infanthood. Then I married. I ex-
pected my husband to treat me as
my parents did, but he expected
me to act like sensible woman. So
in order to get my way I would make
scenes. I would 60 into tantrums.
I would sulk and weep. Ny husband
tried to make me see by gentle rea-
soning how wrong I was, but 1 re-
fused to listen. Then came the day
when he acted.
He treated me as a parent should
an unruly child. He gave me a
good spanking. 1t wasn't a hard
spanking, but it hurt my feelings
and wounded my pride. The next
day I went home to mother and
when I arrived I found she was
away. poured out my troubles to
father and told him I was home
for good. He said nothing, but went
in and called up my husband. I
was furious, but that got me Moth
ing. My husband arrived and he
and father went into a conference,
I, in the meantime, going into the
bedroom and bursting into floods
of tears.
Soon the door opened and there
was my husband. hairbrush in hand
From then on for many minutes I
could do nothing but cry and plead.
Then the door opened and in walked
mother. She stopped suddenly, saw
what was going on and silently
turned around and left the room.
A few minutes later we four sat
and talked about what had trans
pired and I learned that my hus-
band had told both mother and
father what he had intended to do
to me provided I continued my rude
ways as his wife. 1t was either
divorce or punishment, he had told
my parents. They agreed that their
laxity had been at fault and &C
cepted my husbands decision. At
last they realized and admitted their
shortcomings and believed spank

The aforementioned book is one
of those of Miss Potter's that have
not been so widely read in this
country. Indeed, I had never even
seen it until began collecting the
various tales for the delectation Of
my own youngsters. And then, at a
ripe old age, I read THE Pie and the
Patty-Pan" for the first time and
enjoyed it just as much as I should
have many years earlier! There is
something so human about it's char
acters and their aspirations that the
book cannot be lightly designated as
just another "kid story"
Possibly for that reason, every
time that make, see or write about
"veal-and-ham-pie" find my
self thinking back over the Potter
story, in which just such a pie caused
nice domestic upheaval. Un-
doubtedly it's silly reaction, but

family that is a bit fed up on the

Wife-spankers are not wife-beaters,
they are wife-savers many times.
MARY JANE.
Answer-No one can DOUBT that
the main reason for the enormous
increase in divorce is due to the fact
that SO many parents have quit dis
ciplining their children or teaching
them any self-control or regard for
the rights of others.
I think that the most ioICtic, as
we'll as the most mischievo'As, theory
that has ever been advanced is that
you must never say don't" to a
child. and that you must never cor
rect one or make it behave for fear
of breaking its proud spirit.
Naturally this idea has been en-
Enthusiastically accepted by lazy meth
ers who don't want to wrestle with a
strong -willed youngster, but all hu-
man experience contradicts 1t at
every turn. For life is one continual
don't" to all of us. And We all find
that If our mothers have not dis
ciplined us In our childhood the
world does it with hard hand
later on.
1t is the spoiled children, male and
female, the mothers darlingS, who
fill the world with broken homes and
half-orphaned children. There is no
doubt that many a one OF these
tragedies could be saved if the hus-
band or wife who is acting like brat
could be punished like child And,
after all, the hurt from a hairbrush
doesn't last for a lifetime as divorce
does.
But what's sauce for the goose is
sauce for the gander. And if the
spanking method is to be tried as
cure for divorce, let it be extended 70
the rotten child husbands as we'll as
to the rotten child wives. Plenty OF
selfish, egotistic, nagging husbands
who are running the lives of good
wives need it as we'll as spitfire wives.
And, oh, how many of us would liAe
to see the grouches get what is COM
ing to them! DOROTHY DIX.

Secretary W orried Ouer
Plan for More Spending

Right now the same old battle
is being waged again with the group
which advocates more spending and
which worries not at all about the
mounting size of the federal debt,
headed by Mariner S. Eccles of the
federal reserve board. Morgenthau
is said by friends to be more dis
turbed than ever before on this par
ticular issue.
First, the secretary is much surer
that he is right now than he ever
was before. Second, he has always
yielded before because the argu-
ment was made that the need for
letting spending run above receipts
was only temporary-that with the
passage of time the spending could
be reduced, as private employment
increased, and that actually the
budget could be balanced.
Now Morgenthau believes thai
such an objective will never be at
tanned so long as the present advice
the President is being given from
the other camp is heedcd-that the
men who want more spending anc
more pump printing now will alsC
want it next year, almost regard
less Of any conceivable set of events
in the meantime. and that they vii
want it the following year, and tht
year after that

There lifusf BE Imports il
There Are 10 Be Exports

In fact. the chief difference be-
tween the old tariff system and the
new reciprocal trade policy IS that,
for the first time IN American his
tory. there is actually somebody di-
recting the policy with respect 10
imports who realizes that there
must be imports if there are also TO
be exports. Somebody, in brief, who
is charged with the responsibility OF
encouraging imports in order to pro-
vide for exports, instead OF merely
throttling imports. as the old-tlme
tariff bills did, with merely wishful
thinking as TO exports.
The chief objection TO stralghten
out barter agreements by Hull's lieu
tenants is that in effect this takes in
ternational trade out of private
hands and makes # a government
matter. Also it takes the move
ment of goods out of the established
channels of trade.
The government agent anxious to
swap cotton for something, in order
to get rid of a cotton surplus, IS not
going to worry too much about
whether the kind of barbed wire he
accepts in It's place is the sort that
the farmers of this country really
want. If he happens to get the right
kind, he not only displaces workers
in American wire plants but he is
compelled to get the wire TO the
farmers ifa-sone- new way. which
plays havoc with the merchants who
formerly supplied the farmers.
But the chief objection the trade
experts have to barter is more fun
damental. Every time there is Q
barter agreement, anywhere in the
world, it tends to restrict free trade
all over the world.

Rumor MorgenfIlau U i'll
Resi- ign Bobs [ p .4gain

The little boy who cried Wolf,
wolf. when there was no wolf has
nothing on the rumor that Henry
Morgenthau Jr. will resign as sec
rotary of the treasury. The first
rumor of Morgenthau resignation
came within few months after he
had succeeded William H. Woodln
at the head of the treasury depart
ment. It has been bobbing up ever
since, on the average OF not less
than once every two months.
So when the real time comes prob
ably no one will believe the warn
ing. But there are actual reasons
this time for believing that Morgen-
than is on the verge OF resignation,
and for two perfectly understands
BILE reasons.
Well-informed sources say that the
President and Morgenthau have
finally reached just about the break
ing point on the chief issue on which
they have so consistently differed
Ii can be summed up in the words
balanced budget But il includes
much more than just spending more
than the governments income year
after year. 1t takes in also the con-
tinual movement of the President
toward the left, whereas Morgen-
than has chung to the original con-
servative views he entertained when
he came to Washington.
When Morgenthau became secre-
tary of the treasury he was perfect
~ willing to follow Instructions be.
cause he realized that he did moi
know very much about Treasury
problems. BY dint of hard work and
long hours, however, he has learned
great deal about public finances
The more he has learned the more
outspoken he has become in his adj
vocacy of his original conservative
viewpoint.
This does not mean that Mr.. Nor
genthau has at any time been dis
loyal to the President. On the con
] trary there is scarcely man in tht
administration who has been 81
steadfastly devoted to every whin
and wish OF the President.
But inside the cabinet he ha
fought for his own ideas, on tn
budget, on spending, or harassinI
business, etc.
