Henderson daily dispatch., 1944-12-20

This is the definition of a set of
symptoms that about half your
neighbors use when they want to
describe a condition that consists
of one-fourth headache, o~ne-fourth
loss of appetite, ~one-fourth consti-
patton, and one-fourth being in a
bad temper.
Blame Liycrs
All this they blame on their
livers. AS they describe how out
Of sorts they feel, they are likely
to stick out their tongues so that
you can see them, and tap with the
middle finger Of the right hand
the place where they think the
liver is.
The treatment of this condition
is to take some pills that will
start the liver to working. The
fact that these pills are mostly
cascara or aloes, and that all they
do is stimulate the intestines to an
evacuation, does not interfere with
the beautiful theory that they have
started the liver to working.
All Of this is an injustice to a
hard working and efficient bodily
servant. The liver almost never
goes wrong. Disease of the liver is
so rare that it provokes comment
in any clinic. The only even half
way common diseases of the liver
are due to alcoholism (cirrhosis)
and venereal disease, and secon-
Diary cancer lighting there from
some other part Of the body, In
tropical climates amoebic abscess
occurs, but this Is not what the
people who are 'llverish" are COM
planning about.
Furthermore, the liver is very
necessary to life. If your liver
were really to go awry you would
be sick indeed. An animal lives
about four hours if the liver is
removed.

The liver is the great storchouse
of the body. As YOU utilize energy

n. Y. Politics Muddled

Democratic politics in New York state is
in mudde. The states Democratic Com
rnittee has reelected James A. Farley chair
man for the eighth term. At the same time the
comm ttee unanimously approved a resolution
calling for President Roosevelt's continued di-
recton of Americas contribution toward win
ming the Warwick is equivalent to endorse
ment for fourth term.
Mr.. Farley is definitely opposed to a fourth
term for President Roosevelt as he was to a
third term four years ago. 1t was on this is
sue that he broke with the new deal.
When the voting starts at the party's con-
vention in July, providing of course Mr..
Roosevelt is candidate, will the New York
delegation follow Farley and vote against the
President, or obey the resolution of the state
committed?
The outcome will demonstrate the personal
power of the two men.

undertakings 1t has the overall object OF
preserving the value Of goods by getting them
to their destinations in good, disable condi-
ton, and it goes without saying that this OBJ
ject is Of more urgency now than ever be-
fore, because so much of our total production
is keyed to the war; because of the strin-
gencies in the matter of Materials and again
because OF the plain importance of avoiding
waste of manpower, time, money, materials

tackled by more than 200 Coast
Guardsmen and scuttled in New

The Italian Campaign

ing failure of our military operations In Italy
They have told us that by freeing the Mediter-
ranean, by tying up several of the enemy's
crack divisions, by securing the Foggla air.
fields we have achieved the main purpose of
an essentially holding operation.
All this may be so, But one thing is certain:
the Italian campaign has been a major diplo'
matte disappointment. That was implicit in
Secretary of State Hulrs latest foreign po-
Icy statement.
"We had hoped" he said, that before this
enough of Italy would have been freed so that
we might have had at least a preliminary ex-
pression of that will (of the Italian people
for free government. Events have not pro-
crossed according to our hopes
These hopes would seem to merit some i'm
portance in Italian operations. There were
other logical points for an invasion of south
ern Europe besides Italy Yugoslavia, with
active patriot armies to assist us, or southern
France, closer to Germany and less strong
ly defended The conclusion is that an element
of prestige, at least, went into plans for the
Italian invasion.
Surely a decisive defeat of the German de-
tenders OF Italy and rapid advance on Rome
would have had tremendous effect. 1t would
have given the Balkans double dose of the
shakes to see the Russians advancing from one
direction and the Anglo-American from an
other.
Any argument that military and diplomatic
;c ooyofro cd at
least twice in Mr.. Hulls speech He stated
that those chiefly responsible for the military
situation in Italy thought that that situation
would be 'perjudiced'' by imposing the re-
construction of democratic government there.
In other words, military considerations gov
erned diplomatic decision.
Mr.. Hull also assigned the military future
diplomatic role in France by saying that I'VE
are disposed to see the French Committee of
National Liberation exercise leadership to es-
tablsh law and order under the supervision
of the Allied mander-n-c chief.
If the Italian stalemate were an unavoidable
setback these observations would be in bad
taste. But when we read, in a dispatch from
the Casino front by James Roper of the United
Press, that the first American attempt to
take Casino in February was made by 80
men and two tanks, we have right to ques-
ton the unavoidability.
Future events may prove that the Italian
campaign fits into a pattern more logical than
the one now visible. Until then Anzio and Cas-
sine still appear to be two unfortunate stop
ping places on the military and diplomatic
road to peace.

peoples who came to be called Tatars The
group which forced its way through the Tatar
pass defeated the Hungarians and remained
in control of Hungary for more than year
before withdrawing to the Russian and ST.
berian steppes.
Throughout the Middle Ages the armed
forces of nations and principalities on both
sides of the Carpathians marched through the
pass as sovereignties changed in that part of
Europe The pass itself saw important fighting
during World War I, when the Russian and
Austro-Hungarian forces clashed in the noun
tains. The Russians, however, were unable
to pass through.
Tatar pass is typical in its formation OF the
numerous relatively low gateWays that thread
the Carpathian range. Practically all OF these
passes occur at points where headWater
streams of rivers north and south OF the
mountains flow in opposite directions from
near the crests of the ridges. From Tatar
pass to the north flows one of the tributaries
of the Prut which becomes the eastern bound
airy of Romania. The southwark flowing
stream enters the lisa, tributary of the
Danube.

Our Chief Aim
League Suspends

While the country, by and large, is all
popped up over the opening of the major
league baseball season on Tuesday, there is
sadness among Wilmington fans at news that
the Cape Fear league is forced to suspend for
this year at least We must take our baseball
vlcariously during the coming summer, save
for occasional games between independent
clubs if indeed enough payers can be muster.
ed for them.
The armed services have made such heavy
lnroads upon competent players and the Army
and industrial programs are moving at such
an accelerated tempo that league schedule
could not possibly be maintained nor could
the few players still available have time
for regular practice even if games could be
held. The Cape Fear directors have taken
the only course open to them by calling the
season off.
No more trips to Legion Stadium Hilton
Park. Camp Davis or any other field for some
time to come. No more shouts of praise or
derision for good or bad plays No more
seventh inning rallies or ninth inning upsets.
It's hard on the fans. But that's war; and the
war must be won and Wilmington has major
job to do in the winning of it.
The Cape Fear league has had notable and
commendable career since Skeet James or
ganized it some years ago. The one solacing
thought now is that it is merely suspended not
abandoned. When the lights go on again all over
the world there is good reason to think that
play will be resumed and it is fair to antic-
pate an even better quality of performance
than in any season of it's existence
