The Editor
TO THE EDITOR:

LIVERY one knows that our
IL national debt is fast assum-
ing astronomical proportions.
Far-sighted individuals are
becoming increasingly alarmed
over the prospect of our gov
eminent being forced into bank
ruptcy. Bankruptcy would, of
course, destroy the very cause
for which we are fighting-na-
tional freedom.
Various solutions 10 our finan-
cial problems have been pre-
sented, none of which has proven
entirely satisfactory. The legal
iZing of a national lottery has
certain merits but the word
lottery" is Objectionable.
For example, the game known
as lotto" derived from lot
terry" was never really popular
with the public until the name
was changed TO "bingo."
Since it is imperative that
the government raise more
funds for the prosecution of
the war, il is my suggestion
that Congress enact a law set
ting up a national victory fund.
This fund would be governed
by a board of directors en-
powered to issue what would be
known as victory shares at least
once monthly.
All shares would be numbered
consecutively and sold 10 the
public at a specified figure.
All moneys derived from the
sale of these shares would be
placed in the victory fund. and
during the month following their
sale the board of directors would
hold a public drawing. after
which so per cent of the net
proceeds would be paid out 10
those shareholders whose num-
bers were drawn.
The money remaining in the
fund would, of course. be used
TO further our war efforts.
Some may disapprove the fore
going plan on the basis that IT
is gambling.
Let us remind such individuals
that Uncle Sam now holds a
seat in the greatest gambling
game the world has ever wit
messed.
Our freedom. our homes, our
very lives are at stake.
Are not these priceless pos
sessions worth more than our
money?
If so, we had best back up
Uncle Sans wagers with a ma
tional victory fund and thereby
win this-war as quickly as pos
sible. EDGAR u. TABER,

Sir WaIter's $ Mission

NE of the most dangerous things that could happen
~ to us would be to tie up our military alliance with
Russia with an international labor movement =.
Such movement however, is now afoot with, the
arrival in this country of Sir Walter Ctrne general
retary of British Trades Union Congress and noted
"A extreme leftwnger. z-
Sir Walter is here specifically and solely to form
trpartte body consisting of labor representatives of the
United States, Russia and Great Britain
THERE is already an Ango-Sovet, Trade Union
l Committee.
Into this committee Sir Walter now seeks to draw
the powerful American labor unions for an nterna-
tonal labor 'front.' front which would be disastrous to
only labor unions but to the whole industrial
fabric of the United States
Such union would cause business panic, at the
very least.
So that no American will be in doubt to the objec-
tives of the Anglo Russian Trade Union Committee Sir
Walter says its purpose maintain the closest contact
between the trade union movement in the United States,
Great Britain and the Soviet Union not only during the
war. BUT DURING THE RECONSTRUCTION PERIOD
AFTER THE WAR"
THIS would union between the Russian Com
i munstic Trades Unions ("Trades Unions in name
only) and our free American unions
No matter how closely the United States and Soviet
Russia allied through military necessity and for the
purpose of destroying the enemy of both there
be union between the diametcaly opposed ideals
of the workers of Communisc Russia and the workers
of the L. s. A
The MILITARY DETECTIVES of the two countries
are as one, but the ECONOMIC AND INDUSTRIAL
DETECTIVES of Russia and the U. s. A. wide
apart as Lenin and jefferson.
WHY does not Sir Walter Ctrine let we'll enough alone?
w The Soviet union and the American union get
ting along very well at present
Why throw monkey wrench into the alliance by the
introduction of wholly extraneous question-postwar
nternationalsm?
Is Sir Walter thinking of winning this war against
Hitler and Hrohito or he thinking only of international
communism?
And hasn't he in this vital hour in English history
ANYTHING of value to do at home?

Nine. Perkins and First Lady
Disagree on Union Auditing
By WESTBROOK PEGLEB

In n public accounting without
embarrassment"
Let us 60 back and run over
that part again. Mrs. Perkins
calls on the unions to give
regular. independent, public
audits and says the unions are
now in such a strong position
that their strength, not their
weakness, can be stated publicly
without embarrassment.
Whatever secrecy or veil may
have been effective In the early
days when the unions were
struggling TO survive Is certainly
no longer effective" Mrs. Per-
kins said.

receipt oil a letter from
..dy who asks the follow
ing questions:
Is diabetes entirely heredi-
tary or Is II brought on by other
causes: How can II be guarded
against-through diet or medi-
cine or exercise 2"
The question of whether dia-
betes is hereditary is highly
debatable. but what this letter
writer does not recognize is that
there are two distinct classes of
diabetes.
The cause Of diabetes is in
ability TO burn starches and
sugars in the body, and the rea-
son for this in ability is entirely
in the lack of the formation of
a substance that is naturally
formed in the body called in
sulin.
lnsulin is formed from certain
cells in the pancreas, and when
these degenerate for any reason.
diabetes results.
One class of cases in which
these cells degenerate occurs in
children and young adults.
The cause of this degeneration
is not known.
1t may be infectious disease
or some poison which enters the
body and has a selective affinity
for these cells and completely
destroys them.
That, at least, is the only
explanation we have now and.
obviously. this kind of diabetes
is not hereditary at all.
THIS form of diabetes occurs
in children where no other
members of the family have dia-
betes and none of them de-
Velops it later.
1t is, incidentally, very
severe form of diabetes which
is more severe than that which
occurs in middle aged people.
The other kind of diabetes is
far more frequent. 1t tends to
affect people in middle age or in
carly senility. and is so fire.
quently accompanied by changes
in the small arteries of the body
that we rather assume the con-
dtion is due to a strangulation
of the cells of the pancreas
which produce insulin-strangu-
lation by closure of the small
arteries which supply them.
The change may or may not
be accompanied by high blood
pressure. 1t is about $3.50.

EAR be il from me TO stir up
L mischief between two ladies
who have been getting along
beautifully for years and years,
but l find that Mrs. Frances
Perkins, our cherished secretary
of labor, and Mrs. Roosevelt
have developed very interest
ing difference of opinion and
wonder if they would be good
enough to decide publicly which
lady is right
In a recent published contri-
button, Mrs. Roosevelt took the
position that unions, with their
more than one thousand million
dollars a year, should not be
compelled to publish audited
financial statements and said
the ason they are not
anxious" TO do so for the bene-
fit of the general public is that
when they are not well estab-
lished. this information would
inform employers Immediately
of certain of their weaknesses. y
Mrs. Roosevelt said further
that most of the unions that
] know publish a report Of their
financial status TO their men,
bers and do so in more accurate
and simple form than most buSl-
ness corporations"
7 WOULD like 10 point out the
Il escapes in this construction.
Mrs. Roosevelt does not under
take TO say that all unions or
most of them publish such re-
ports, but says this is done by
most unions that she knows.
That is vague term.
How many unions does she
know? II is my impression that
she knows very little about
unions and she may be speaking
of say. only a half-dozen OF
them. Nor do we know whether
she is speaking of locals or inter-
nationals and there is very i'm
portant difference.
I point out also that Mrs.
Roosevelt. does not say unions
are wealt now. but attempts TO
suggest that they are weak even
with their thouSand-a4iiiie
plus, per year
She says when they are not
well established and so forth,
and the whole effect Of her an
swer 10 a question is a political
stall.
WELL. what does Mrs. Perkins
w say on the same subject?
Addressing the national con-
vention of the AFL in Seattle
last September. Mrs. Perkins,
after salving the boys with the
usual political malarkey told
them as follows:
"The scrupulous account for
money, regular independent and
public audits of all moneys. in
cluding insurance funds, dues.
assessments and so forth, should
be done voluntarily rather than
under compuIsion. With the
trade union basic right protected
by statute, surely no moneys
need be expended except a au-

QUESTIONS. ANSWERS

M. H.-Will you please explain
to me what acute glaucoma eye
disease is caused from and how
TO treat it?
Answer-Acute glaucoma is
due to an increase in the tension
of the fluid inside the eye ball
which occurs usually in people
around 40 or so years of age.
Acute glaucoma comes on sud-
denly with very severe head
ache. dizziness and vomiting.
The pain is referred 20 the
head more than TO the eye.
Any such episode coming out
of a clear sky without previous
attacks in a person this age re-
quires the immediate attention
of the best oculist available as
the condition is very serious.
