THESE DAYS
By George e.
Sokolsy

Senator Ball supports this re-
dictionary, despotic, power-grab-
bling device.
He would stifle the voice of the
people.
I listened to the President an
he made that statement to an
audience gathered together by
the Foreign Policy Association
In the Waldorf Astoria in New
York.
I know that audience.
II consists mainly Of New
Workers, Of sons and daughters
and grandsons and granddaugh-
tiers Of immigrants with q boun-
tiful sprinkling Of refugees.
What madness, what wicked
ness has come over these peo-
pie that they do not realize that
what stands between them and
the tyranny from which they or
their ancestors ran away Is the
Constitution of the United States
and the representative form Of
government which II guarantees.
They are undermining the lib
critics Of this country which the
blood of centuries secured for
them and which they made
quately appreciate.

DEAR A. c.:
TAKING into account the age
l. of this couple, the wife's
trustworthy record and the alb
surdity of her husbands accusa-
tons, one recognizes the true
significance of his startling be-
havior.
His irrational wrath is a psy-
chotic manifestation.
He is falling victim OF senile
dementia.
In the school world. he is still
running on the momentum OF
nearly so years enforced habit.
Yet even there, l dare say.
close inquiry amongst discerning
students and staff associates
would reveal a substantial
awareness that the old fellow Is
slipping.
II is only matter OF time
until he must have institutional
care, in justice TO himself and
his wife; and II is her duty,
right now. to consult a neu-
rologist and let him engineer
the humane solution.

AS I travel the leng h and
"A breadth of this country just
before elections / find that the
question of most Importance 10
partisans of both sides and
those who have not yet made up
their minds, il the question OF
the Presidents health and ex-
pectancy OF life.
There are some persons who
know so little about the physi-
cal condition of their Chief Ex-
ecutive that they are surprised
when told that he lives in a
wheel chair. and has not walked
without artificial aids for many
years-since the infantile paral-
ysis which he so determinedly
overc anne TO lead a life OF
greater sedentary activity than
any ordinary man.
The matter of dealing with
Mr.. Roosevelt's health has been
particularly delicate for two
reasons.
First, because we Americans
do not ordinarily refer TO the
fact that a man is a cripple
out OF sheer good manners.
Secondly, the effort made TO
classify the state Of the Presi-
dents health as a military Sc
cret in time of war.
The Presidents own friends
have broken down the silence
on the first point.
Mr.. Walter Winchell has
pointed out in his column that
the President has had his leg
braces removed since his illness
on the estate of Barney Baruch
last spring and therefore no
longer attempts to walk or rise
from his wheel chair.
The second - the attempt to
axe military secrecy OF the

state OF health and life expec-
fancy OF our Chief Executive
has broken down of its own
weight although no one around
the President could give out un-
authorized information without
running afoul of secrecy regula-
tons and being drastically pun
ished.
OFFICIAL bulletins are given
" out from time TO time by
the Presidents physician Adm.
Ross Mcintyre, couched in
vague rather than specific medi-
cal language.
All that a historian can de-
duce from this is that should
the Presidents health really be
precarious the public would not
be told unless IL were 10 be-
come a matter OF White House
policy 10 divulge the truth.
We are forced TO conclude
this by the precedent Of bulle-
tins issued by Woodrow Will
sons physician. Adm. Cary T.
Grayson, in 1920.
At the same time that the
admiral-doctor was issuing as
surfing bulletins TO the press and
public, he was telling Senator
Glass, according to the senator's
diary, Wilson seriously con-
templates permitting himself to
be nominated for a third term
and IL would kill him"
Again Homer Cummings re-
cords In his papers: The nonli-
nation would be a tragic mis-
take and the nominee might not
live through the campaign" and
the same thing came to George
White, chairman of the Demo-
cratic committee from Wilson'S
doctors.

TFIE constitution pro vidss
Il that treaties shall be rati-

THE constitution pro vfdes
l. that treaties shall be rau-
fed by the Senate.
The object Of that provision
Is TO prevent any one man
from wrecking the country by
some secret, whimsical. fantas-
tic agreement with a foreign
power.
The writer's of the Constitu-
ton distrusted the Judgment
OF one man, preferring invests.
cation, scrutiny, discussion, de-
bate and publicity.
But there was another idea:
This is a union of sovereign
states. In those days the Senate
represented the states, the sena-
tors being chosen by the legis-
lators of the states.
A treaty between the United
States and a foreign country
had then to be ratified by the
representatives of the state
governments so that no chief
executive could sell his country
down the river to soma foreign
power.
NOV along come President
~ Roosevelt and Senator Ball
and propose that Congress be
by-passed, that the power to do
anything with the territory. the
wealth, the future prospects,
the value Of currency, the
tariff-making power, the stand
ard Of living of the American
people b delegated to one man.
to do a he pleases, according
to his own personal Judgment
and within.
I oppose such a doctrine
whether the President In a Re-
publican or a Democrat, Rooss-
welt or Dewey, a competent,
wise man or a blithering luna
tic or a drunkard.
No man should want, should
be given or should have that
much power over our Hives and
happiness.
In that distorted Foreign
Policy Association speech, Mr..
Roosevelt said:
$50 to my simple mind, n h
clear that II the world organisa-
ton II TO have any reality at an,
our representative must be en-
dowed In advance by tho people
tn e m Q YES, by constitutional
means through their rcpresenta-
tlves In Congress, with authority
to act"
In other words, Mr.. Roosevelt
wants power to act, In advance
Of congressional investigation, In
the treaty-making capacity with
full powers.
He wants a blank check.
Then he can 60 ahead as he
pleases, giving the impression of
obedience to the letter IL not the
spirit and ideals Of the Consti-
tuition. II is another grab for
power.
IN EFFECT, what Mr.. Roose-
L welt and Senator Ball propose
is that the president shall have
the power to send this country
TO war at any time over any
issue. or any pretext without
debate or discussion.

THE Golden Age" of sur
i gerry has been said 10 be
the period after surgical anaes-
thesia was discovered, roughly
about 100 years ago. when 10
that triumph was added the dis
covery of how TO prevent germ
infections in surgical missions
-asepSis-which was roughly
about so years ago.
The three great problems OF
surgery were once said 10 be
haemorrhage, anaesthesia and
asepsis.
The control Of hemorrhage
was solved long ago by doughty
old Anboise Pare in the mid
die of the sixteenth century. by
the use Of the ligature.
II seemed 10 many surgeons
OF my apprenticeship days that
there was nothing left for them
to learn.
But there was and the new
surgery is learning II and adj
vancing TO build more safe
guards around the surgical pa
tent.
The watchword OF the new
surgery is physiology.
The old surgery was ana
tomical-structural.
II had learned 10 rip open
and nail together again a hu-
man being very much as II he
were a frame house.
And indeed ! am inclined 10
think that many of the sur
geons / knew in my youth so
regarded him.
The modern surgeon has
found he is a living, quivering
! organism OF infinite complexity
! of chemical composition and
though he may come out OF a
surgical operation without
bleeding TO death. without pain
and without infection. he may
20 haywire and collapse just
because some too rude fingers
have been stirring up his chemi-
cal solutions and twanging his
nervous ganglia too much.

being made safe for the pa
