THE FRENCH PROGRAM

designed to eliminate unemploy-
ment, establish old age pensions.

and prohibit employment Of

minister Of labor. and adopted by
the government. Belin says many
of the reforms had been prom
ised by the popular front govern
ment. but never achieved and he
adds that the program Is not
Nazi. Fascist. Socialist or Com
munist in aim.
The Old Age Pension law pro-
misses 5000 francs (about $50 a
year to every Frenchman who
was working on October !, 1890
and who reaches the age OF 60
within tha-next year Such work
ers will be retired and receive
the pension on condition they
promise not to seek further en-
ployment
One labor law calls for the i'm
mediate dismissal OF all women
not dependent on their earnings
and who do not have children.
Women working as state employ
es in any government bureaus
who have passed the age o, so
will be retired with four year
salary bonus. Married women
with three or more children are
exempt
Another law anticipated Will
forbid the employment Of child
dren under &c.
Other parts OF the program IN

struction Of war damage. mod
ernization OF transport and hous-
ing, ihtensifieatieH- IF agficui-
ture and the building OF new

A special commissar for employ
ment is to be named IN both the

scheme and bring the unemploy-

The adoption OF the program
leads to the belief that Vice
Premier Pierre Laval Is
reaching the successful end Of
discussions with German author

than 100000 French soldiers
from concentration camps, and
that when II is claimed. there
fore. that this is not Nazi
plan the truth Is being stretched
little. In fact there can be
little doubt but that about every
move any French government
makes will at least have the ap-
provL Of Herr Hitler.

HooVER's Mistakes

We are told here in Michigan
that western farmers are strong
for the reelection Of President
Roosevelt because he has given
them so much help.
There seem TO be at least a few
people opposed TO the third term.
judging by an article recently APP
pearing in an Idaho paper. II comes
TO the defense Of Herbert Hoover,
former President of the United
States. as follows:
An inspired piece fro~l one Of
the New Deal propagandists says
that Hoover was a complete fail
ure." So he was. He failed In a lot
OF things. He failed TO draw out his
salary OF $4,000 a year while he
was President, turning it all back
into the Treasury. He failed TO have
his sons organize insurance COM
pany firms TO write insurance on
government enterprises. He built
Rapidan resort for fishing and
recreation at his own expense and
gave it to the government. None OF
his sons went racing through
divorce courts TO the disillusion-
ment of the public. He never bun.
died up lot of government docu-
ments TO sell as a book TO the faith
FIJI at a huge profit TO himself and
he never sold himself into political
slavery to labor organization for
100000 campaign fund He gath
cred a marvellous collection of war
stuff and built a museum for It.
but failed TO ask Congress TO pay
the bill-he paid il himself.
He did not preach and promote
class hatred and he did not try to
pack the Supreme Court. He did
not pillow up every third row Of cot
ton and he did not promise the
American People one thing while
at the very same moment doing
everything TO accomplish the direct
ly opposite result.
HE did not ask Congress to as
sess the taxpayers $1,000 000,0 600
every time someone shot off fire
cracker in Europe and he did not
go on fishing trips on government
warships accompanied by fleet of
destroyers. Neither did he kill off
all the farmers little pigs or en-
courage the importation of Argen-
tine beef. In fact there were a lot
OF foolish things that Hoover didn't
do that some other people have
done. There are a lot of constulc-
tive things he could have done il
he had not had the opposition of d
Democratic Congress but anyway
he did not leave the American peo-
pie 5000, e00,000 in debt.
Mrs. Hoover never made speech
es or raced hither and yon on UNI
important matters She never wrote
silly drivel on her everyday life and
sold 1t TO the newspapers and she
never sold soap over the radio. Her
only public appearance was as an
honorary member Of the Girl
Scouts Of America. She never in
vited Communist youth to the
White House as her guests. The
Hoover family seems to have made
failure OF about everything that
goes nowadays.

when he became state secretary.
Hull was a free trader away back
when he was in the senate. and,
before that, when he was in the
house of representatives. He not
only was a believer in the all
around world benefits OF an abso-
lutely unrestricted International
interchange Of commerce, from an
economic standpoint. 1t also was
his thesis that most wars are pro-
voked by trade barriers between
between countries.
once asked him. IF country
No. walls Itself off against coun-
try No. 2, how's country No. 2 to
retaliate except by walling Itself
off against country No. ?"
To this Senator Hull (he was
senator them answered, IF a
country walls other countries off,
It likewise walls itself in. Let a
country adopt bad policy, like
that, and the jokes on the country
that does it; not on the others"
Not Too Sudden
But when Cordell got into the
state department. he evidently de-
cided that 1t would be injudicious
for the United States to abandon
its protective system too suddenly.
Probably he was right about it. 1t
would have been a jolt, undoubt-
eddy. So he hit on his reciprocal
plan. by which we were to make a
treaty with some other one couh-
try at a time, gradually extending
this scheme until it included
everybody.
It was a world concept. The
notion was beginning to take. We
actually concluded a few treaties.
Then the war started.
Now, with the jumbled-up situa-
ton that we've got today. nobody
has time to bother with trade
treaties. Military alliances yes.
But to heck with trade treaties!
We may get away with an occa-
sional one between US and Latin
A erica. Europe and Asia,
though ?-phooey!
WILKES Views
Even yet Wendell can't find It
quite in his heart to turn thumbs
down on the free trade principle.
Nevertheless. he's argued thus. in
a number Of his addresses:
The totalitarians are their va
rious dictators' slaves. AS slaves,
they'll have to work for slaves
wages. Are we going to let their
slave made products into the
United States, to compete with our
freemen's output ?"
It's the protectionists' old argu-
ment- European pauper made
goods, Oriental cheap labor!
All the same. it's thrown a crimp
into Secretary Hulls reciprocal
program.
To be sure, free trade hasn't
been attacked very bitterly. Char
lie McNary has criticized II ad-
versely bat not violently; appar-
emily he's thought that he had
better things TO talk about. All
Wendell Wilkes said is. in effect,
that reciprocity is impractical just
now-not that, IL it could be made
to work, he wouldn't be in favor
Of It
And the Democrats don't defend
It at all vigorously.
1t just has frazzled out as a
1910 campaign issue. For awhile
II looked outstanding.
The Ypsilanti daily press. (Ypsilanti, Mich.) 1928-1962, 1940-10-19

exposed the base Of the skull. With
a small dental drill she opened q
hole just under the pituitary body
and after loosening it from its
stalk, she applied a little glass
pipette and through suction re-
moved the entire gland.
No member Of the Harvey Cush-
ing Society Drain surgeons ally
could possibly have done a neater
or quicker job. She closed the
incision and gently placed the pa
tient in the convalescent cage. The
whole procedure, which / timed,
took four minutes. Three minutes
later, to show that perhaps we
prolong our human operative
periods too long, the little fellow
was sitting up pulling his whis-
kers and looking around for some
where to go.
Pituitary Gland Removed
Before she was through with
him. though, she measured him
from nose to tip of tail, because
if she had been successful in re-
moving every bit of the pituitary
gland that rat would never grow
again. Six months later, placed
side by side with its brother and
litter mate, whose pituitary gland
remains intact, they will look like
a giant and dwarf, although the
dwarf has had exactly the same
food as the normal sized brother
and in the early days of life ex-
actly the same amounts of food.
So does this little speck of flesh
shape our destinies, rough hew
them as we will.
How far can these experimental
researches be applied to man?
| remarked yesterday that many
animals respond much more read
lily to vitamin dietetic experiments
than man, and the same applies to
endocrine experimentation. We
expect too much, and theory out
runs practice.
Nature makes some experiments
and when overgrowth of the pitui-
tary gland occurs. giantism or q
similar condition called "acromeg-
ally occurs. If the gland begins
. excessive secretion before growth
in puberty is completed, the result
is giantism with human specimens
nine feet tall. If the excessive Sc
erection begins, however, after the
long bones are set, growth does
not begin again but the condition
Of acromegaly occurs. In aero
megaly the bones Of the hands,
feet and jaws begin to grow
which is form of giantism.
Stimulating Growth
What can be done to stimulate
growth in those of low stature?
There are undoubtedly forms Of
human dwarfism due to deficient
pituitary secretion and a specific
growth hormone has been extract
ed from the gland and can be adj
ministered to such patients. 1t
must be begun, however, before
growth tendency has ceased and in
practice it is not easy to find prop
er cases so early. Although now
that we know the possibilities
more cases will undoubtedly be
discovered in time for good results.
Some cases are recorded in which
increase Of several inches in
height has been obtained.
