A Question Of Proper Balances

4 few days ago the War Manpower Commission instructed its regional of- fees to hasten the tightening Of job con trOls and-Where it is necessary to speed needed war production-to place specific ceilings cutting workers from less essen tial employment. Local communities have been asked to support these man. power drives. In support of these ln- structions to regional offices in the field. WING stated that a great many workers would have to be removed to new fields where there are emergencies in employ ment.
 Opposed 10 this theory are the argu- ments that have been raised by Republl, can governors of 26 States. who say that the States possess more efficiency in re- distributing workers among postwar jobs.
 Still another suggestion is that many , sincere people who constantly pay llp service" to the powers Of the Federal tOtalitarian state at the same time seem Z afraid of the effects of Democracy and freedom and the exercise of free economic choice of individuals after the war. Let's skeep our shirts on"-think hard-and help save Democracy in our own beloved land,

Twas Different In The Old Days

The war has brought about a change in the ways of life in every township in the United States. Millions of men and Women left their jobs to go into the armed forces. Housewives are employed in war work Boys and girls are at work for the first time in their lives. Older people have gone back to work under the urge of patriotic motives.
 Before the war II million persons were engaged in agriculture, including fores- try and fishing Manufacturing, from food processing to the assembly of auto mobiles and locomotives, employed lO,- 100000. Mining, construction, tranSpor- tation ?nd public utilities employed 5,500,O00. Wholesale and retail trade, restaurants and filling stations, banking, real estate and insurance, and repair services employed 7,5O0,000. Employ ment in Federal. State and local govern nents, including 0,O00 school teachers, totaled 3,700,000. Service and miscel- laneous jobs and professions, including doctors, lawyers, etc, gave livelihood to 6,500,O00 Today there are more per. sons employed in the Government than there were in the Federal service and in the Army and Navy before the war. In those pre-war days. employment in man. ufacturing accounted for one out of every four persons.
 The above is a quick picture of where people were in peacetime America, 24 per cent in agriculture: 24 per cent in man. ufacturing; IS per cent in service and miscellaneous: l2 per cent in mining, public utilities, transportation and con structiOn; l6 per cent in trade distribu- ton and finance; 8 per cent in govern. men;t; and l per cent in the armed forces That is the way peacetime Amer ica rounded out great "team" of work. CTS. It's up 10 every American to stand by the war effort as long as it lasts - and our country forever!

intimacy and informality used so success fully by the isolationlsts. Of course there is always the possibility that such an association as the AUWO could be per- verted to political ends, or used as cloak for some inSidious scheme. But the list of AUwo officers and sponsors tends to baniSh that fear.
 The list includes clergymen, educators, writers. lawyers, publishers, editors and business men of both parties. There is a high measure of distinction in their pro feSsional records, and their combined history of efforts for international peace is one Of unanimous devotion. The AUWO has decisive opportunity to consolidate public opinion behind the safest, most sensible plan for ending war, and to main- tain effective touch with the men who will devise that plan. We hope that the founders of the AUWO make the most of that opportunity, and we wish them well

Such specialists" eeniItye i0 make the public think they know more or have more skill then honest general practitioners. although the trick ''speciallsis" have had no more medical training and no more nedi- cal training and no more experience than honest general practitioners have had.

The United States Senate showed up with three-fOurths of its members an- swering present" at roll call the second week of August. despite the general un- derstanding that the month of August and part Of September would be vaca- ton period for those who wanted to take it. Nevertheless. our Senators came back to Washington-th hottest town in the country-and showed their determina- ton to stand guard and protect the ln- terests Of their country to the best or their abilities in these terrible days Hats off to our Senators"
 The Lower House has also resumed and the way the Legislative branch Of the Government is handling the major issues and problems that confront them day-by- day is clear evidence that Congress has found its long-lost independence" and is no longer a rubber stamp for the White House.

Organizing the Peace

Six private, like-minded groups have handed to form a national association called Americans United for World Or. ganlzation, Its policy calls for a world 0rganizalion to be established inlmedl- ately, with power tO settle international disDltes and to use force ip Suppresslng aReression and maintaining peace, U gnigbt seem that there is little need for such an organization today, For it ex- presses what obviously is already the majority opinion of the American people as reflected in the stated policies Of both pFegIdential candidates and both party platforms as well as the two houses 0i Congress, Yet 1t cannot be said that thls majority opinion is unanimous AS eyeIy0De knows, there are many Amer. cans who oppose any sort Of league 0f nations lupper or lower easel and who think, though bludge0Ded by evidence t0 the contrary, that we can live aloof m the future, however much injustice or aggression may occur elsewhere 70 lne world,

KERNELS IN THR NECK

Tn a talk about tonsils and ade. holds published here recently, I said that in my opinion one os the best indexes that the enlarged ton~ slls with or without associated "aoe. noids"--that Is. enlarged pharyns zeal or third tonslD may be respon. sible for Q child's poor health, ts what people commonly call "'ker. nels in the neck. and doctors call cervicai adenitis. That is Co say the lymph nodes tpopularly called ''glands'D along the sides Of the neck from under the ears to the top Of the breastbone are enlarged. sometimes somewhat tender. and can be felt as small humps, or seen as small swellings when they are quite inflamed.
 This is merely my opinion. re- member, and I speak only for my. self, not for any part of the medl. cal profession. I am not too posi-. tive that such Kernels" are suifi. cient to indicate tonsillotomy fand mean merely tonsillotomy. "clip. ping" the tonsils, not the atrocity oT 'complete emoval''--wl1ich Is ''corl- plete" in theory only). but if I were to decide whether a child with large tonsils and adenoids and. say. ear trouble or obstruction of normal breathing should have tonsillitomy and adenoidotomy provided the tonsils and adenoids had failed to shrink under x-ray treatments, I'd advise he operation if the child had kernels in the neck.
 Tt must be remembered that kers nels in the neck may be due Co sev" eral other causes than tonsils or adenoids Generally a child with middle ear infection Of running ear" has kernels on the same side Of the neck. If the child has one or more decayed teeth - which no well cared for child should be per- mitted to have nowa6ays-there is usually more or less eervical adeni" tis which clears up after the cav" ities are properly filed. Any chro' mic infection in the nasal cavity or in one Of the sinuses may cause kernels in the neck. Even chronic eczema about the face. head or neck is usually associated with ker- nels in the neck.
 Tuberculosis of the lymph nodes in the neck or elsewhere is the con- dition formerly called 'scrofula." This condition. tuberculous adeni.is. whether lymph nodes or glands" iD the neck alone are involved or whether lymph nodes in other parts of the body. say those around the bronchial tubes back Of the winc- pipe and those behind the intesiines in the abdomen. are likewise inyoiv- cd. is so important that We shall only mention it here--it meists more detailed discussion in talks io fol- low

publicans and Roosevelt friends agree, is that his Bremerton Navy Yard radio address fell flat, lacked the old FDR zingo. Inc side fact is that the President prepared the speech cold. with out any outside help. No ghosts" were along.
 It was reported that Judge Samuel I. RoSenman was along on the eliire trip and helped draft the Bremerton talk. Real fact. however. is that Rosenman and Elmer Davis. OWI chief. left the President at Pearl Harbor. Da- wis flew on to Saipan and Guam. Rosenman back to the White House.
