How Much Advice?

Here we need counsel that is
both psychologist and endocrino-
logic-rsychology for the inquisi-
tive and perhaps not entirely hap
py mind and endocrinology for
the adjustment of the physical
changer. There are a good many
books that can be read by parents
on advice to the adolescent girl.
There is good deal Of difference
of opinion about when and how
much instruction she should have.
| have talked TO many women who
recall their own problems at this
time and are able to assess the ad-
vice they received frankly and
fairly and my conclusion is that
in general nc smallest amount OF
advice given at this time, the bet
ter. Most of the advocates of in
struction, when they are face to
tace with an actual girl, go at it
with a kind of ferocity-that fright
ems the poor child.
A simple explanation. of the
physical changes she must face is,
of course. in order 1t needn't be
sentimentalized. Tell her that her
body for the next thirty or forty
years is subject to physical cycles.
They are perfectly natural to
women. Unjust as the arrange
ment is, men do not have them.
Women are dependent upon tides
of secretions from their various
glands. In at least half or more
girls there is pain at the height
of the cycle-this Will be cured, if
by nothing else. by bearing her
first child. Sometimes the cycles
are irregular or cease. This is
also perfectly natural and regular
up to the ages of fifteen or six
teen. These disturbances can often
be remedied by the use of ductess
gland hormones.
A New Outlook
The realization that she can
now bear a child naturally revo-
lutiOniZes her whole world. She
instinctively changes her attitude
towards boys - she no longer
shares on the basis of free cam
araderie in their games and in
terests. She regards the boys she
grew up with in childhood with a
sudden detachment and in gen.
eral they look curiously cal
low. She has suddenly advanced
beyond them. AS at another great
period of life, it is revolution for
her, il is evolution for him.
In all these changes | am in
clined to believe that very largely
every girls destiny is in her own
hands. Neither parents, doctors,
teachers nor other advisors can
help her out much. Depending on
environment and natural intelli-
gence. she viii find things for
herself, and life is sweet or ter
rible no matter how we try to
solve it.

Meeerle defended autarchy %
t'tl1e most social system in inter.
national economy in the 20th CEN
tury." This Is what he said:
FOR al nations desiring to emerge
from perrisnent dependence on the
haves,' autarchy is not attack but
defense Of independence. u not
imperialism but . self-imposed
limitation for self-help and q pre-
condition for equality among ma
tions.
Beyond that, it is essential pro-
lection for the working population
against the ups and downs OF busi-
ness, against crises Of speculation,
arrangement Of currencies and ar
bitrary rule Of gold.
TT (autarchy) compels peoples
to set their hands to work and to
use their heads In order to make
the utmost possible use of what
they have and to use economically
what has been allotted to them.
1T Is, thus, q creative principle.
Ethical justification for autarchic
policies Is. therefore, as undeniabIe
as Is the system Of clearing and
direct barter developed by Germany
IN trading with other nations.
1T guarantees honest exchange
OF goods for goods, even to the weak
est economic partner, to national
economies a., yet undeveloped, That
means honest exchange of honest
labor for honest labor Is achieved.
This system knows no capitalistic
exploitation Of the weaker. and.
thereby, also no political influence
exerted via the detour of capital-
iStic loans and investments, It Gre
ates natural working co-operatives
and solid, lasting economic bases.

tenn are the most social economic

Mr.. Welles repeated to corre-

that he was reserving his comments
for the Presidents ears alone,
1t seemed inconceivable. however.
that he could fail to be impressed BY
the show Of determination which the
government and people were max
ing on every hand.
Germany's first concern appeared
to be to end any idea abroad that
the Reich is getting its fill of war
and is seriously framing peace plans
either for communication to Mr..
Welles or for proposal through Eu-
ropean neutrals.
There were numerous protesta-
tions from authorized sources that
any reports to this effect stemmed
from attempts to give the world a
false impression.

reports on the state of public feel

Germany. In general, Germans

Hitler's insistence on the return
OF war-lost German colonies prob
ably was no surprise to Mr.. Welles
IS this German demand has been
constant ever since the Treaty Of
Versailles.
Although Hitler is said to have
left no doubt In Mr.. Welles' mind
that he considers Germany unbeat-
able economically on account OF her
far-going arrangements with Soviet
Russia, he is reputed, nevertheless,
to have stressed the return Of for
mer German colonies, both as q
matter on justice-in German eyes
and as q source for colonial, that
