Lend-Lease

President Roosevelt now has said pub licly what many have known for long time, that the $14 billions we have lent leased to our allies and associates thus far, and the $1 billion month that is going out, are not designed to be collected after the war.
 From the beginning it was inherent in the situation that these things were gifts or, perhaps rather, were American con tributionS to the defeat of the Axis, though they were begun at time when we were technically at peace with the Axis nations. This was true because such huge sums are no more collectible in the future than their counterparts were after World War I.
 It is unfortunate that the bulk of the American people were deceived by the pretense that lend-lease would come back, in kind or in value. But it is well that the deception now has been exposed by the highest authority.

rates, can be set so low that profits are wiped out. There are indications that this theory is becoming established policy to be applied by various devices to all in dustry.
 If that happens, industry will be help less. When demands for goods and serv- ices increase, which is inevitable, it will find itself failing to meet the needs of the public because of insufficient earnings to cover needed expansion. Then the trap is set for government-owned indus tries subsidized by the taxpayers to take the place of private businesses that failed"
 When government produced products, whether they be food or electricity, stream across the countryside, the cycle will have been completed-a cycle that started in the cunning mind of bureau crat who knew how to use the law to achieve the end sought national social ism.

THE DAY DWINDLEs
(New York Sum

By the almanac the autumnal equinox is more than three weeks away, yet leaves are floating down from many tree, and gardens be- gin to display several shades of tan and brown. It is in the shortening day, however, that the city dweller may first notice the approach of fall. It was early in July that our day. as measured from average sun- rise to average sunset in New York, became shorter than fifteen hours. By the beginning of August the day is cut to fourteen hours and twenty minutes. After that the shades of night seem to fall ever faster. until now we have but few minutes more than thirteen hours of day. Last evening the sun set at 7:32.
 But war workers on night shift have come to measure the length Of day in terms much different from those in which they thought of . day when they worked by suns light

NOURTsHfNG FOOD AND -lH.E REsHsTANflR lNh

Embittered by his broken friend- ship with his benefactress, Mine. von Meek, by the indifferent appre- ciation accorded his music, by the failure of his marriage and by his quarrel with Rubinstein, Peter Hitch Tschaikowvsky, poor sensitive soul rejected deliberate suicide as a scandalous thing, and instead went out one chilly night and stood chest-deep in 8 river SO that he might catch his death of cold.
 Of course it didn't work. It never does, except in the imagination of the untaught and the unteachable and the latter category includes a great many physicians and health authorities even now
 A century ago the theory or as- sumption accepted by physicians and laity alike was that an indivij- ual suffered pneumonia, bronchitis, coryza, tonsillitis, rheumatism or whatever the illness happened to be as a consequence of exposure to cold, damp, sudden chance, wet feet, etc., and that was all there was to | 1t. It was only after we learned that pneumonia and some other dis eases formerly ascribed to cold are actually caused by bacterial infec- tion, that we cooked up the lile about lowered resistance" in order to save our face. This nysteriols weakening of resistance to tl:e germs by a draft or some triflin change of weather or farcis dampness pleased the doctors i'm mensely, for 1t gave us urlimise L. scope for sounding of learnedly CT the prevention of pneumonia ard whatever other diseases or ailnleas5 the laity may believe are cue '1i cold. For instance. we think sound as though we know whs were talking about when we t.. J. people to get plenty of fresh s'i. rest and nourishing, easily digest [. food to maintain or build up re5is,- ance against pneumonia or colds but the truth is we know no mo : about these things than the dumG est layman knows. and certainly TO physician can even define 'resis.- ance" or cite any scientific evideres to support the concept. Mind, now, were discussing resistance" not immunity. Immunity is scientific ally and practically recognized-- for example, immunity to diphthe- ria or immunity to typhoid fever but no one seriously suggests that dampness, drafts, sudden change, exposure to cold or wet in any cir cumstance or degree affects an tn- dividuals immunity, if the indtvid- ual has any immunity to begin with.
 It is at least not unreasonable to believe that 6 diet in which nat ural, unrefined foods supply most of the calories favors development and maintenance of immunity, as entrusted with a diet in which re- fined food (such as white flour and sugar) furnishes most of the calor- les. This on the simple ground that any and all bodily functions are likely to be more eficient when nu- triton is adequate than when some essential nutritional factors, such as vitamins and minerals. are de- fcient. But any such influence of the character of the diet on iIl- munity requires months or years, not days or hours, to become eyi- dent.

Press Comment
RAILS REAP A HARVEST

Christian Science Monitor)
 Despite the admonitions in adyer- tisements warning the public of probable difficulties in travelling, railroad earnings, If train use con ttnues at its present level for the rest of the year, will produce one and one-half billions of dollars of revenue. Not only will this be the all-time high record for passenger business, but will be nearly four times that of l940, and nearly five times the amount earned in 1883 (the lowest in more than 30 prior years).
 Even these huge earnings do not properly signify the increase in travellers, because furloughed servo icemen travel for one cent a mile, or less than half the regular coach fare.
 Despite the hardships worked on these men on leave, civilians con- tinue to crowd trains. While week. end conditions sometimes defy de- scription, the mid-week traveller, even in unreserved day-coaciles, often finds sufficient space to make himself comfortable, and he may even have a double seat to himself most of the journey. This is not always the case, for conditions dif- fer in various sections, but 1t is certainly true that travellers will do better to heed the appeal of the railroads.
 However. despite the ads, the pulp lie keeps on crowding the trains, the roads plead for mid-week patron age and the ODT continues to urge railroads to discourage travel gen. erally. There is a silver lining to this cloud, however: increased earn ings from these overcrowded trains can offset a number of years of diminishing postwar income.

While we were experiencing an August drought down here up in Maine the rainy drought down here, up in Maine the rainy August. All this did not work out so good for the potato crop, and Maine's famous Aroostock county product was reported starting to rust. Up there less rain and drier weather was needed; while down here our crops were crying for rain. Up until Wednesday night very little rain had fallen during the month Lawns were burned and gardens parched If the rain did not come too late the re- cent showers will have helped consider able.

The issue goes deeper than merely one of conservation. It involves the fact that we are nak. ing wooden airplanes for. Great Britain while Canada will not sup ply us with any of her sitka spruce. It also involves the amazing manner in which the big lumber companies have got their hands on the WIPES Lumber Di- vision.
 The argument pertains to sitka spruce for mosquito bombers. These bombers are doing a great job over Germany, and 45,000, 900 feet of sitka spruce lumber is needed to produce them. Nelson says that only 34,000,00O feet are available in oregon and Washing ton, so he wants Ickes to open the Olympic National Park to the big lumber companies.
 Ickes, however, has refused. He says the lumber companies still have plenty of sitka spruce If they want to build roads to get 1t and that they have been itching for years to sink their axes in the the national parks. The war, he says, is just an excuse.
 Even more important, Ickes points out that Canada has far more sitka spruce than the United States, but maintains an embargo on it, refusing to let 1t be shipped to this country.
 Canada Is in this war too," Ickes has told Nelson, "and the mosquito bOmbers are being sent to the British. Let the Canadi- ans remove their embargo and
 send us their sitka spruce"
 Nelson has replied indignantly with letter which states:
 "The unavailabiIity of national park timber for mosquito bOmb- CTS will result in serious produc- tion losses and delays in getting on with the war. hope you
 will give your approvad to this and permit the Interior Depart ment to cooperate with the War Production Board"
 BIG LUMBER LOBBY
 However, here is one fact which Ickes so far has not mentioned to Don Nelson. Nelson may not know it, but a vigorous battle has ragged inside his own Lumber Division regarding the use of

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
 Danger of SuIfa Drugs

It seems read a statement il your column concerning the danger in some instances. of persons taking sulfa drugs losing control or capac- ity to exercise judgment.
 c. B. WI Answer-One taking any sulta compound should remain at home or at rest. should not attempt to drive a car. and should not sign any contract or make similar deci- sions while under the effects of the drug. Good physicians generally caution patients about this when they prescribe or administer sulfa compounds.
