However, Berle, long known for
his anti Russian attitude, bucked
like a steer at bringing Russia
into the picture.
Finally, the President himself
stepped in and handed down a
flat order that Russia could Lot be
left out Of air-base conversations.
All of which is why lone-wolf
Senator LANCER intends to blast
the grudging, snail-like steps by
which we are marking time in the
vital job of making the world
peaceful place In which to live af-
ter the war. No wonder Ambas-
sador Myron Taylor threw up his
hands in disguest and went off to
Florida.
DUTCH EAST INDIAN OIL
It has now been two years since
the Japs took the rich oil reserves
OF the Dutch East Indies. Moth
ing is being said about it, but to-
day oil experts in the Navy De-
partment are preparing aloborate
plans for reconstruction of those
same oil fields.
Allied success in the Pacific Is
the reason. The timetable for
Allied reconquest of the Dutch
islands has been advanced. Nov
ing westward from present posi-
tons on New Guinea, Allied forces
will soon be able to attach Suma-
ira, Java and Borneo.
For the major and final blows
against the islands of Japan, it
is hoped that sources now under
Japanese control viii lsupply the
oil, thus relieving the pressure on
U. S. oil supplies and U. 8. ship
ping.

AS A MATTER OF FACT

All of the measures of the Administra-
ton and Congress regarding contract
renegotiation laws look like Greek to the
average American citizen. Most of the
efforts of the Government appear to be
along the line of reducing the profits OF
CORPORATIONS and firms that have exc
cuted large orders in war production.
Already the Government has decided to
take most of the profits from contractors
via excess profits taxes. 1t is very ques-
tionable whether the majority of con-
tractors will be able to 60 ahead on their
own steam after the war if they have to
pay back in taxes practically all of their
profits.

Helicopters will do many things
for US that the standard airplane
cannot do on account of their ability
to land and take off on spaces hard
ly exceeding their own diameter, as
we'll as because of their safety. Bus

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Nicotine

Always supposed it was nicotine, SO

bon monoxide from this type?
(E. E. CD
AnSwer-No difference in that re-
Spect. I said it Is MY BELIEF that
carbon monoxide in tobacco smoke
is the harmful factor. Probably
many physicians still believe the
nicotine is the harmful factor.
There Is no evidence, so far as I
can learn, that so-called "denico-
tinized" tobacco is less harmful than
ordinary tobacco.

brook is one of the most import
ant men in England. Further
more, he is devoting all his time
to this one question.
But the man with whom he
has to do business in this cOun-
try is Assistant Secretary Of
State Adolf Berle, Jr. MIR. Berle
not only is not important Of
ficialIy, but he also has q myriad
of other things to do. And more
than almost anything else he
loves to play detective. His
greatest joy comes from being In
charge Of the State Depart
ments phone tapping and
sIcuthing activities
So for months, while Lord Beav-
erbrook has been anxious to carry
out the generous British offer to
open all their air bases for Ameri-
can use after the war, Little
Man" Berle has twiddled his fin
gers, unwilling or unready to talk.
BERLE BANS RUSSIANS
Finally, after the Brush en-
bassy repeatedly had indicated
that it wasn't fair to criticize Bri-
tain regarding air bases, and yet
at the same time refuse to discuss
them, Mr.. Berle got busy.
He then came forward with the
unique thesis that the talks should
be only between the United King
dom, Canada and the U. S. A.
To this, the British replied that
1t would be dangerous and unwise
not to include Russia. The So
Wet, they reminded Berle, was 6
very important ally and must be
treated. as such. Furthermore,
she was suspicious ally and got
sore when things happened behind
her back. Finally, she had the
greatest land mass in the world
and couldn't be left out Of any
air-base discussion.

ONLY RESULTS COUNT
(Hartford Courant)


An official of a large airplane mo-
tor company recently asked the rhe-
torical question, What would hap
pen to us If the Japanese were
shooting down American planes
regularly in the ratio of ofour or
five to one day in and day out?"
Somebody answered him, saying,
I'VE know what would happen to
you. You'd be OUT of a job"
That is true. Men hold positions
OF leadership today in making air.
planes and other vial war equip
ment only by virtue OF their ability
to produce results. The American
people will bear great deal in
the field of government but we have
no tolerance whatever toward the
American industJialIst who doesn't
produce planes that enable our fly
ers to beat the Japs by at least four
to one. We permit ineptitude, lassi-
ture, myopia on any home front now
The reason? Most Americans feel
a justifiable pride they could never
put into words in theil ability to in
vent and make things better than
the Japs. We are able to produce
better because we have developed
our resourcefulness and our ingenu-
ity under a system of free enter
prise and individualism. The Japan
ese, meanwhile, are still cropping in
the misty past, their minds weighs ed
by superstition, their activities
guided by emperor worship.
To those who believe that we shall
achieve even greater things In a
regimented society, we suggest they
study the ratio of combat losses In
the air. In comparing the relative
value OF free man OF regimneted
serf the ration OF even five to one Is
low.

Now Ripley did not say this, but, never
theless, this strange item appeared in one
of the most conservative periodicals in
the country, to wit: "Vice President
Wallace bungled into Wisconsin and Min
nesota to make a try and straighten
political lines, presumably under encour-
agement of President Roosevelt, in order
that MI Wallace might continue to be-
lieve that he is still seeking nomination
for Vice Presidency"

Two months ago, with great
blast of trumpets, Secretary Hull
announced a committe headed by
Ambassador Taylor to make plans
for permanent peace machinery to
avoid the mistakes made after the
last war. Since then, Ambassador
Taylor has been sitting around
Washington waiting for action.
But there has been none.
This is not the fault of ener-
getic Undersecretary of State Ed
Stettinius, who succeeded Taylor
as head of U. S. Steel. More and
more, Stettinius impressed peo-
pie with the way he is struggling
to revamp creaking, crusted dip
lomantic machinery. But the
work of postwar planning is be-
yond Stettinius' scope.
HULL'S LACKADAISICAL LEO
Inside the State Department, it
is referred to as the sacred Cow"
of Secretary Hull himself and of
the man who has come to be his
closest confidant, Leo PaSvolsky.
Russian-born PaSvolsky was secre-
tary to the last Czarist ambassa-
dor to washington, later edited
various Russian newspapers in this
country. and has written an i'm
posing list of books on Russia,
the Balkans and European econ
omicS.
~ oh nIn rIx d
Russian PasvOlsky, Secretary
Hull has taken a strange fancy.
To him he has entrusted the
vitality important work of post
war planning. Probably one
reason Hull likes him is because
PaSvOlSky is even more cautious
than the Secretary of State
himself. Hull can be absolutely
sure that Leo will make no mis-
takes because Leo almost never
moves.
This may be all right in regard
to delicate diplomatic policy, but
when it comes to planning for
peace, men like Ambassador Tay-
lor and Hull's fellow members of
the Cabinet chafe at the delay.
The European war is nearing a
probable end this year, yet the in
ert hand of Leo Pasvolsky still
stacks up reams of reports on this
and that problem of peace, or re-
ferS them to this and that sub
committee.
POSTWAR COMMUNICATIONS
Meanwhile other countries are
pressing the State Department for
action. For instance, nothing has
= been done about a U. S. policy
on interchangeable communica-
lions after the war.
The British have a close. knit,
all-embracing system by which
they can communicate all over
the Empire for the same rate.
The U. S. Army Signal Corps
has now built up a worldwide
system of u. S. communications,
which poses the questiOns:-Will
the United States 60 back to its
former competition between diff
ferent companies and betwene
radio and cables? Will it fol-
low the British example? Or
will 1t cooperate with the Brit
ish regarding island bases for
cable and radio stations? And
how?
For weeks the War and Navy
Departments have been submitting
their ideas to the State Depart
ment, but nothing has happened.
BERLE BOGS DOWN
Likewise. the British have been
pressing the State Department
for action regarding postwar air
bases. 1t was Congress which
took the initiative on this by ac-
cusing the British of being island
greedy and not lending their
islands as air bases to the needy.
But now the British have called
our turn, have said they are ready
to talk. and have appointed LORD
Beayerbrook as their representa-
tive to discuss air bases. Beaver

HOW OLD is RHEUMATISM

HOW OLD IS RHEUMAT1SNA3
Rheumatism, says an oraculaR
young lady in a magazine article,
is one of the Oldest diseases on
earth. It has been known, the
young lady informs US, since the
Stone Age-SksletonS of early man
show that he suffered from a form
of rheumatism that affected the
bones.
Then, q reader adds, q radio
speaker said recently that 100000
people in the United States suffer
from rheumatism, which is now
called arthritis.
So 1t would be most interesting.
pursues the reader, if we could read
in our favorite health column the
reason why the disease cannot be
remedied, why it battles physi'
clans -.
I'm just a Flooding door-to-dool
practitioner and I wouldn't know
rheumatism from arthritis If I were
to stumble upon case.
Arthritis means Inflammation of
Joint. The Inflammation may be
acute Inflammation (of a few
weeks or months duration) or
chronic (many months or years
duration). 1t may be caused by in
vasion of the joint lining membrane
by the pneumococcus-the germ
that causes pneumonia, tonsillitis-
by the gonococcus, by the germ OF
syphilis, by the streptococcus and
associated germs that grow in sep
tic foci, by the germ that causes
undulant fever.
AS for rheumatism" certainly
there is no specific joint disability
or lameneSs or trouble a physician
can recognize or distinguish by
that name. Certainly no intelligent
physician today imagines cold or
dampness can cause joint disability
of any kind short of freezing. And
certainly no well informed person,
be he physician or layman, can Seri-
ously entertain the notion that one
Is more or less likely to have "rheu-
matism" or arthritis in one climate
than in another. It Is time for in
telligent folk to realize that change
OF climate, either just for the win
ter or for an indefinite period, CAN
not and does not cure or even great
ly relieve any kind of chronic joint
disability.
1t Is as futile to hope or search
for a remedy or treatment which
will benefit or help all or most cases
of arthritis or rheumatism" as it
is to hope or search for remedy
likely to relieve all or many cases
of so-called "cold"--'cold cure"
The reason why is of course that
there is no particular ailment iden-
titled by the name of arthritis or
rheumatism or "cold." These are
labels any one can apply to any
thing he or she pleases to think the
name fits.
