Austin of the Granite state.
1t was Nutmegger Homer
Cummings who first proposed
that the Republicans be given a
free 500 dinner at Democratic
expense. He figured out that
they would not accept, and would
therefore give the president a
splendid opportunity to rib them
personally and politically. The
speech, with its homely anec-
dotes about the boy who didn't
want to 90 to heaven with that
bunch" and the patriarch who
preferred "deefness" to giving
up his liquor, was the handi-
work of sub-Secretary William
Hassett Of Vermont.
In describing his critics as
people who were enjoying
poor health F. D. r. used
typical New England colloqui-
alism applied to grandparents
who, before WPA, lived with
their kinfolks. Both Homer and
Bill are inveterate practical
jokers.
Homer's jokes had greater po-
litical significance than he orig
inally intended. It completely
changed the presidents mood
and grafton. Whereas Roosevelt
had planned to discuss the for
eign crisis and TO stress Amer
ica's good fortune, he subordi-
mated that theme for the sake
of a sly dig at the absent COP
ers. Had the latter attended at
the last minute they would have
spoiled the banquet from soup
to nuts.
Robert H. jackson has once
again demonstrated that in
certain respects he Ii the Her
bert Hoover of the Democratic
party. A brilliant lawyer, q
lovable companion, and an alto
gether human person In his
social relationships, he exhibits
a peculiar ineptitude whenever
he essays the role of a politico
or a party apologist. For a man
about to become attorney gen.
eral, his purely political blast
at Cleveland was regarded as
distinctly inappropriate.
It is odd that such a delight
fully personable and intelligent
fellow as Bob should commit
such an apparent blunder. His
record of winning 81 out of "a
cases before the supreme court
is unsurpassed. In the law courts
he can always beat down the
smartest political lawyer, as he
did years ago in jamestown, N,
Y. Off the legal stage he charms

Your HEALTH
By DIR. MORRIS FIsHBEIN

With the coming of the motor
car. there has been q tendency
gradually to modify the costume
worn throughout the winter sea-
son.
People used to put on long, red
flannel underwear, thick wooden
stockings, high boots, flannel
shirts and sweaters, and fur
caps with ear muffs to go for a
stroll or to shovel snow. Now
they disregard the winter blasts
and pay little attention to the
effects of weather on health.
An impression has grown that
exposure is not primarily re-
sponsible for illness, and that
protection against exposure to
cold air is unnecessary. Never
theless, the vast majority Of
physicians is still convinced that
exposure does affect the body
unfavorably, that long continued
cold damages tissues. and that
children particularly have a
right to protection against Sc
we're weather.
Equally important is the sud-
den change from hot to cold and
from cold TO hot which is a part
of modern living under city con-
ditions. All people who live and
work in heated buildings should
dress lightly indoors and have
plenty of warm covering and
suitable protection for outdoors.
Hundreds OF years OF expert
ence have also shown the danger
Of getting feet wet and permit
ting damp stockings to dry on
the feet.
II is true that the common
cold and pneumonia are caused
by germs and not by exposure;
but the germs are always pres
emit. and the colds come only at
certain times. II Ia easy to be-
lieve, therefore, that changes in
the resistance Of the body de-
velop when tissues are being
submitted TO extraordinary tenn
peratures.
The fact that some athletes 20
skiing in the winter wearing
only a simple breechcloth ana a
pair Of skis Is no sign that sim
liar apparel is suited to the
average businessman or work.
ing girl The athlete is sea-
soned. The businessman and
working girl submit tie tissues
Of the body TO unusual stresses
which they have not been sccus-
toned to bear.
The salesman. the miIbman.
the delivery boy, even the wo-
man shopper who gets in and
out Of the car q half dozen
times during the course of an
afternoon. are also subjecting
the body TO the evils Of instsbil-
tty Of temperature.
II Is better TO dress for cold
weather and then to make GER
tain that the body does not BE-
come overheated in heated
room or vehicle.

QUESTIONS WHY MORE
SYMPATHY FOR Firms
THAN FOR CHINESE
DUCK DEATHS

Editor. The Times: The eve
ming paper reports that contri-
buttons TO Finnish relief are run
ming s115,00o per week. Surely
proof that Americans are SYM
pathetic and generous.
This new incidence of an old
characteristic deepens the mys-
terry of their action in regard to
China. They acted for Finland
In q matter Of days after need
began. The agony In China has
been going on for two and one
half years.
No reports are available a. to
number Of Firms needing relief,
but Admiral Yarnell 10 no ire
sponsible agitator drawing on
his imagination. He was COM
mander OF the U. s. Asiatic fleet
in Chinese waters during the
larger part of the present war
and has been presented by the
government with medal of
honor in recognition of his SER
vices there: 10000. 900 is a num-
Der too large for realization. But
II every Finn-man. woman and
child-became = refugee. which
Of course will not happen, 1t
would be less than one-tenth Of
that colossal whole.
] have sought In vain for .
reason for the lack Of zeal for
the Chinese. For q time running
back Of the age OF anyone now
living. Americans have built mis-
sions, schools, and hospitals In
China. One would expect the
bombing of these to rouse deeper
feeling than occurrences in a
country where Americans have
made less financial
and spiritual. Some people lay
the difference to the prevalent
dislike OF Russia. But Japan
had been bitterly disliked for
two decades.
Some say, I'VE In Tacoma Wis
ualize q Japanese m q man
trsnsplanting lettuce, a girl with
iipstick and permanent wave
selling salt-shakers in a 1o-cent
store. Commonplace and not
dangerous. A Russian dwells
only In the horror tales Of bombs,
blood and black boards" But
this In local. The east coast
reverses the familiarity. And In
the south and middle west the
two are equally remote and sim
lister.
Another hypothesis is we do
not care about Asiaties. But the
Films are Of Asiatic origin, %
that the Hungarisns recently
called them our cousins Of the
North"
II cannot be on the basis Of q
history OF peace. China has been
the most peaceable OF nations
over centuries. Finland In the
first decade OF its existence
came 50 near 10 war with Swe-
den that the League Of Nations
was called upon. In accordance
with its custom OF favoring the
most belligerent. IL ruled in
favor Of Finland.
Another theory is distaste for
communism. But Chang Kai-
Shek has probably ordered the
killing Of more communists than
Gen. Mannerheim. though the
statistics the less complete and
have not yet been summarized in
the Encyclopedias Britannica.

PULSE OF THE PUBLIC

IL II true that the only Chin
csc most Americans ever saw
was the local laundryman. and
that the word Chinese suggests
an odor Of stale soapsuds. But
Finnish loggers are equally I'M
romantic and a lofty love for
Firms In Finland Is quite COM
patible with a dislike for Firms
in Aberdeen.

me, l shall be most grateful.

SEES CHANGED ATTITUDE
TOWARD RUSSIA
Editor. The Times: It is inter-
esting to note the change In at
titude that the press has taken
regarding Russia. During those
hectic days last summer when 1t
was uncertain which way Russia
would 90 when England was do
ing her utmost to get her TO join
the Allies" Russia was always
listed as one of the great de-
mocracies along with England,
France. and the United States.
That not one OF these coun-
tries Is democracy didn't make
any difference. 1t was a nice
word TO play with.
But the moment that Russia
and Germany made their nom
aggression pact. Russia was 4
totalitarian state, cruel. aggres-
sive, and barbarous. Russia N
not one bit worse now than she
has been for the last 20 years.
During that time there has been
the worst persecution in history.
Between 20 million and 80
million Christian people have
been liquidated In the process Of
establishing the u. 8. s. r. But
our government was not shock
ed nor Mortified. We didn't
hear Mr.. Hoover, Mr.. Landon. or
Mr.. Al Smith bowling over the
radio about the horrible shame
OF it all. Instead. one of the
first things Mr.. Roosevelt did
when he became president was
to recognize Soviet Russia. clasp
the hand Of Mr.. Litvinoff and
wish them great success. Since
then our government has sent
congratulations to the Soviet
republic on the anniversaries Of
their great victory over the
Russian people.
During the Spanish civil war
our government was sympsthet-
&c 10 the Loyslists. Pres. Roose-
welt had the Arms Embargo act
passed to help them. Our papers
always favored the Loyslists and
up to the minute Of their defeat
always led US to believe they
were winning. And who were
the Loyslists? Were they citi-
zens Of Spain defending their
country? No. they were revo-
lutionists from Russia trying to
establish communism In Spain
Their very name was an intrigue
10 deceive the world. Loyalists
indeed. Loyal 10 whom
We were told Of the sggres-
siyeness Of Japan IN the war in
China but were not told that
Russia WAS taking over several
times as much territory as
Japan.
When Col. Lindberg returned
from Europe and told our gov
eminent that Russia WAS not
strong military power We were
very indignant Now our press
fairly gloats over the fact that
