THE SURGEONS ARE ASTON

 I can hardly believe a person can board a plane in Newark this eve ming and have lunch in Beverly Hills tomorrow. But received an electric shaver for Christmas and haven't used razor since. I'll be- lieve anything now.
 The general agent of railway writes that he had hernia on the left side in 1886. The surgeons of the railway company's hospital suc- cessfully operated on him, and he had no complications.
 Then in 1888 he developed an- other hernia, on the right side, and although he might undergo the same surgical treatment in the railway hospital without expense he elected to have the ambulant treatment, for which he had to pay. A doctor in the agents city gave him the injection treatment, in all eighteen injections. The result seemed per- feet.
 A few weeks ago the agent was carefully examined by the surgeons in the railway company hospital.
 "Our surgeons could hardly be- lieve I had had this treatment" the agent reports, "and they stated there was no evidence of hernia now"
 Reminds me of the incredible au- tomatic windshield wiper. For years I held out against such palpably inefficient gadget. Probably I was the last driver in four counties to have one on my chariot.
 Then I heard crazy rumors of electric gadgets that work on the principle of power lawn mower. I felt sorry for the poor goofs who could take such tales seriously = until lovable old Barnacle Bill Turner, requiescat in pace, began exhibiting @ cheek as smooth as a schoogir1's and assuring me that I could enjoy just as close shave if I'd overcome my prejudice and try an electric shaver.
 Ten or fifteen years ago it may have been good form for the emin- ent surgeons to express astonish- ment when they encountered people who had been successfully treated for hernia by the ambulant or in- jection method. About that time the myopic big shots who do the sur- geon's thinking for them were busily engaged in distributing propaganda against the ambulant method-prop- aganda that was painfully childish in concept and character.
 But, good gracious, the ambulant method is now used with uniform success everywhere, and it is rec ognized as the method of choice in many cases of hernia in workers who come under the jurisdiction of industrial commissions in most of the states or provinces - indeed, only where politics has a strangle hold on such things is the injection treatment still drowned on by such commissions. Only in the backward community can surgeon still have the gall to be astonished at the cure of hernia by the modern method.

HOW WE WILL PAY
THE ARMAMENT BILL

Now that there are some - billions ol
dollars appropriated for armmg TINS ma
tiOn against war, and considerable dis
cusson how to raise the proper amounts
by taxation to foot this bill, certain mis-
conceptions seem to exist which should
be corrected.
In the first place this Is billions
(Which undoubtedly Will be increased
from time to time) is not 10 he spent To-
day, or this year, or even next wear. Ao,
thoriteS estimate that during the 1edefal
fiscal year just Starting-nameIN between
July l, 1910 and July |, l9ll-the actual
war preparation cost will aggregate only
between three and onp-half billion and
four billion dollars.
1t is a huge task to change industry over
from peace-time pursuits to wartime
activities 1t took Germany seven years
of intensive effort to So reorganize her
self so as to take care of this war. Dur
ing this seven years, Germany expanded
war-industry to a point where today II
is able to handle about Is billion dollars
a year in war goods.
England in four years. was able to
reach an annual capacity of only about
Q billion dollarS-though il is probable
that during the past six months, this an
nual potential has been further expand
ed France. during the same period Of
time attained only Il yearly ability Of
some six billions.
This should throw some light on the
Battle of the Billions" and explain why
Germany has been SO victorious. by con
tinuously expanding her war industries
ahead of those of her opponents.
The United States is obviously far be-
hind in this race. That IS Il matter Of
serious concern. underlying the question
as to what we could do about il if Ger
many beats England, and decides to take
some Immediate military action in South
America in defiance of our Monroe Doc
time If that occurs six months from nov.
it would mean our limited war resources
would be pitted against Germany'S l6
billion war industries.
Just what the American program calls
for is not officially-or even unotfically
known 1t is assumed. however. that
the United States has set its sights tos
accomplish in TWO years what Britain
has consumed four years in attaining, an
ankilal potential war production Of some
eight billions by July. 1912.
We should grow panicky, therefore.
over the belief that all these billions be
ing allocated by congress must be spent
(and paid for from taXeS) right now. 1t
is worth remembering that, if war dan
ger subsidies only fragment Of the allot-
ments actually will be spent.

1t is remarkable how often a sort of
poetic justice" seems to be worked out
in this war The Germans deliberately
subject the French, for instance, to humil-
iations which were visited on the reich
by their conquerors following the last
World war Both in form and substance
with the situation now reversed the
French are paid in full. and more for
deeds and terms which the Germans have
always resented.
Now in turn the French will resent
these things as the Germans did last
time. and will look forward to turning

NEED OUR SCRAP IRON
UOng Beach PreSS-Telegram)

For the past three or four years con-
Stant streams Of scrap iron have been
pouring out Of Long Beach-Los Angeles
harbor, and other American ports. to
Japan and to some of the European cOun-
tries. These exports, particularly with
reference to Japan, have caused no little
criticism in many quarters because of the
incongruity in thus providing war mater
ialS to an aggresSor nation while at the
same time lending money to China. the
oppressed nation.
1t now develops that there is even a
more vital reason why this country should
not be exporting its scrap iron. Surveys
reveal that there is an accute shortage Of
such metal in the United States, some
estimates indicating that there is only
enough on hand to last about three or
four months However, in the Long Beach
Los Angeles harbOr area alone there
are some 10000 tons awaiting ships. 1t
is reported that shipment Of 250,0OO
tons was on the New York docks awaiting
shipment to Italy when Mussoini entered
the war.
Obviously, these shipments should be
halted. Scrap iron is necessary to the
production Of war essentials, and this
country can ill-afford to reduce its re-
serves. One Of the reasons for IItlers
military successes is that he carefully
amasSed great stores Of war materials in
advance.

The forthcoming Pan American
meeting at Havana IS gong 10 pro :
vide some very practical tests OF
mutuality.
If the American nations are TO
cooperate for their common aC-
vantage. It is obvious that they
ought to share responsibilities.
For instance: Dr. OSWaldo Aran-
ha, Brazils foreign minister. has
indicated that he does not believe
F,urCpean possessions in the Amer
lcas ought to change hands by
unilateral action. TranSlatlng that
from diplomatic into English. ii
means that the United States alone
ought not to grab such an island as
Martinique to keep 1t from falling
INTO German or Italian hands. ANY
such grab ought to be made in an
orderly way by all the American
nations acting together. and be-
coming Joint trustees for the ter
utorles.
That is right enough, and we be-
Ieye the United States would go

decided not to go himself to the
Havana conference but to send a
representative This suggests that
Brazil is handling gently the hot
potato of just how far she will go
IN taking part in any such mutual
action.
The United States has clearly
indicated that it would prefer to
handle any such problems jointly,
For 10 years it has labored to make
the Monroe Doctrine not merely a
policy of the United States govern
ment. but Il JOINT policy ot all the
American republics.

REMOVING |MPEDIMENTS TO
THE REARMAMENT PROGRAM

Two months after starting our rearma-
ment program very little has actually
been accomplished.
One reason is the technical plans for
supplying capital with which industry
is to build the new plants. Financing Of
these projects must come somehow from
government 1t is the method and the
mode of repayment that is largely block
ing action.
President Roosevelt is reported strong
ly favorine going ahead speedily and
deciding the details later. Others, in
cluding Jessie Jones, federal loan admin
istrator, are reported as wanting to for
mulate a complete plan before proceed
ing.
We believe President Roosevelt is right.
The important objective is speed and ac-
complishment. Details OF Financing

is under way.

QUESTION OF NUMBERS
Riverside Press }

The National Association for the Ad-
Vancement of ColOred People. with head
quarters in New York City, calls our at
tention to an editorial published in this
paper recently which stated. on the au-
thority of Mrs. Jessie Daniel AmeS, of the
Association of Southern Women for the
Prevention of Lvnching that complete
year has passed without single lynch
ing in the south.
There seems to be two sides to that
story. however. one of which reveals
there has been a new technique adopted
by lynch mobs in the south in order to
avoid publicity This, the Association for
the Advancement of Colored People de
clareS, should prevent competent per
sons from making statements as Mrs.
AmeS has that the last twelve months
represent "lynchleSs year.
This latter association points out that
the most obvious reply to Mrs. AmeS
statement is the fact that in March of
this year there have been three known
lynchings in Atlanta. Georgia, where Mrs.
AmeS headquarters are located. all of
the victims, of which We're white people.
We have been asked to take this oppor-
tunity TO do So even though we might
wish that the picture was as glowing as
Mrs. AmeS makes out.
