MONG my dearest friends
"A are probably some OF the
most loathsome characters in
the world. One Of them came in
today and planted his cynical
carcass.
II do not like to be "A pessi-
mist" he said, but i am afraid
there will be millions Of ideas to
be disposed OF after the war. 1
mean the ones cooked up by
heads Of government agencies,
or their publicists."
WELL, you know ! do not hold
w with that kind of cyniciSm.
I looked the fellow straight in
the eye and said:
You are a bloody bounder,
sir. Name one government idea
that was not completely sound
and practical"
The mucker wilted viSibly. He

brings us back TO the statement
with which we headed this
article.
Or. Walter Alvarez of the
Mayo Clinic has heported an
interesting case in the last
Journal of the American Medi-
cal Association" which illus
trates the effect Of the emotions
on causing relapses of stomach
ulcers:
"A man discovered one day
that the man who for 20 years
had been his brother-in-law, his
closest friend and his business
partner had been falsifying the
books In order To steal from
him. All that night he Law
awake In great mental distress,
and next day hr had big
stomach hemorrhage."
II IS suggested that when a
patient who has had an ulcer
goes through an emotional crisis
he should Immediately start
taking food every hour or two.
lie shouldn't wait for the ex-
pected fare-up or hemorrhage
or perforation. The extra feed
lngs are probably most needed
between the hours Of 10 p m.
and 3 a. IN.

except when indispensable to
the national defense and when
their requirements cannot be
effectively met by natural
products"
TNHE people of this country
L will agree to nothing of the
sort.
There is no power of govern
ment that can bind the Ameri-
can people to the prewar
enslavement to the produce of
other countries. nor may the
government take steps to kill
inventions, TO arrest improve
ments, to penalize ingenuity.
Had synthetic rubber been
available prior to Pearl Harbor.
this country would not have
been caught short in rubber
when the japanese cut off our
supplies from the Malay states
and the Dutch East Indies. and
the decision must be that we
shall never again be reduced to
dependence concerning an essen
tial raw material.
Besides. what right has any
government to put a ceiling on
the genius of its own people?
If our urea-wood products
prove 10 be an adequate SUBJ
Stitute Of mahogany. it makes
no sense to import mahogany.
If our chemists produce a
synthetic camphor or wood-oil
or quinine. il becomes unSound
to import these products.
1t would have been Just as
wise and forward-looking 10 re-
ject the automobile because
horses and wagons already ex-
listed, or rayon and nylon be-
cause silk and cotton were

BEHIND The News
BY Paul Mallon'

WASHINGTON. Oct. 6-The
w Dumbarton Oaks confer
ence opened with a flare of
trumpet publicity but ended
practically in official silence.
AS has become generally
known. Russia objected to a
plan drawn up by the British
and unreservedly supported by
us, specifying that if one of the
Big Four powers was party
in an aggression dispute, it
should retire from the delibera-
tons about what action to take.
Russia wanted participation
by the involved party, and
wanted II so badly agreement
was impossible.
Speculation on the meaning
of the disagreement has been
difficult for fear Of embarrasS-
ing Russia or over-interpreting
her position.
MO DOUBT she thinks some
~ small nation could get a
council led by Britain and the
United States to exclude her
from consideration Of any dis
pute in which she becomes in
volved and perhaps take joint
action against her.
But Mr.. Churchill. in the
sharp-pointed words of his
speech TO Parliament, con-
trived few typical phrases
which may have carried more
meaning 10 the Russian dele
gates than to the casually read
ing public.
He said, in effect, a peace
agreement could not be effec-
tive unless made in full and
confident accord, and advised
that another meeting would
have 10 be held az the under
secretary level to get that ac-
cord.
The intimation was that IL
would have 10 be soon in order
TO prepare for a big joint con-
ference with Stain las soon
as the military situation per-
mitS.
THE subject seems TO me 10
Il contain the heart of the
whole peace problem. although
the officials here say 90 per
cent of the program was agreed
upon. including the creation of
the top council Of large ma
tons and the assembly of all
nations.
But what is most pulling is
that the Russians have great
influence upon China, which is
TO sit on the Big Four Council
and upon France, which is TO
Join later. She certainly would
get a full hearing through them.
even if Britain and the United
States were inclined oppositely
in any given case.
To me il appears the fact
OF the disagreement is not so
important as that Russia
stressed il 10 the breaking
point.
In actually. even though the
agreement called for unanimous
consideration. everyone will APP
preciate that a Big Four power
could in reality take indepen-
dent action If she chose. even
without consulting the Big
-Four.

THE Conference of Commits
sions of Inter-American De-

those piecemeal peace con-
ference arrangements by which
the postwar world is being set
up before the war is over in
the hope that much may be
accomplished now in the atmos-
phere of war emotions. to which
the American people would or
dinarily not agree.
Meeting between May 9 and

and resolutions is Number XII

my feet start 10 sting all over

to be to keep on walking around
quite bit, without stopping for
more than Is or 20 minutes at a

There was one other problem.
That was keeping awake. We
got up about / a. m. to finish
packing up, closing up the hutS,
eating breakfast and getting

body went TO bed before IL or
later. so our whole company was

stumble or kick rock in the
