THE President in an extraor-
l. dinarily weak speech gave
the impression of rejectin &
Communist support in his
fourth term campaign.
He gave the impression of re-
pudiating Communists very gen.
orally while a actually he at
tackled their opponents whom
he associated with the lunatic
fringe. That sure is talking out
of both sides of his mouth.
The essential facts concern
ing the American Communists
is that they are a small. rigidly
discipline d party of about
100, 900 members, which through
what they called united front
movements amassed a network
OF organizations hat boasted
about 1000. 900 Americans of all
kinds, many of them even inno-
cent of their Communist affilia-
tons but nonetheless following
what is called "the party line"
which means Communist dicta.
The Communists twist and
turn not as individuals but as a
disciplined body taking orders
usually from Soviet Russia.
Before we entered the war,
the American Communist party
was officially part of the
Third international which was
Soviet Russia's agency for the
world revolution.
During the Stalin-Hitler ALI
ance. this American party was
opposed to our participation in
the war, conducting a propa-
ganda which included picketing
of the White House and strikes
in defense plants.
After Russia entered the war
on the Allied side. this party be-
came warlike. patriotic and for
national unity. Obviously its in
terest was not the Unite d
States but Soviet Russia.
EVEN before the Third Inter-
II national was officially abol-
ished by Soviet Russia. the
American Communist party de-
clared itself no longer a men,
Der of that organization with
the object of avoiding registra-
ton as a foreign agent.
The Daily Worker" its or
gan. which had been registered
as a foreign agent was sold TO
three obscure old ladies of Rev
dictionary ancestry.
Recently. the c o m m u n list
party declared itself abolished
and its membership transferred
to the Communist Political AS
ISOLATION.
Whereas z arl Browder had
been secretary-general of the
Communist party. he is now
president Of the Communist Po-
litical Association.
None of this has made the
slightest difference in the vital
organization, methods or activi-
ties of this body OF men and
women.

ring and said:

one minute of seriousness in

conversations at Dumbarton

These conversations were COW
cred extensively by members of
the foreign press. although what
they wrote about Is beyond me
because the conversationalists
declined to tell them anything.
So far as the press was con-
cerned II was one Of the great
dumb shows of history.
There was some loose talk
among the more frivolous Jour
nalists Of hiring m oyster

Nevertheless the foreign writ

which cost their papers a lot of

IN OTHER days, and not so
i long ago. about all that was
known Of the subject OF food
allergy was that some people in
sisted that certain foods did not
agree with them.
There were strawberry rashes
and those whose facial complex
ions came out in splotches when
ever they ate sea food from
oysters 10 Holsters and crabs.
These well known experiences
were never dignified by getting
into the medical textbooks until
the new science of allergy or
atopy was taken up by the labo-
ratories early in this century.
Since then this group OF symp-
toms has been studied very in
tensively and very scientifically.
II is now known that quite a
broad group OF functional dis
orders including asthma. ailergic
headache, rhinitis, sinus and
chronic nasal trouble. digestive
\ upsets. as well as skin eruptions.
such as hives and eczema. may
!, be due TO sensitiveness 10 foods,
or to dignity II with the scien-
tific name used above--food
allergy.
besides the skin reactions
~ varying all the way from
hives TO eczema. the most COM
man symptoms of allergy pro-
duced by foods are asthma,
rhinitis and dyspeptic upsets.
The rhinitis exactly resembling
in the appearance of the Doggy
mucous membrane Of the inside
of the nose. the condition found
in hay fever In the height of
y the season.
The digestive symptoms in
+ clude attacks OF nausea, or indi-
gestion, or intestinal upsets of
all kinds.

) prit IL may be necessary TO 60
