COP Policy

NEW YORK. June u (INS)-
The foreign policy plank in the
platform to be submitted to the
Republican national convention in
Chicago stood condemned today
by Wendell Willkie. 1910 COP
presidential candidate, who called
il ambiguous and a possible bar
TO peace collaboration.
The Republican party cannot
afford in 1914 TO be ambiguous"
Willkie declared, adding that
there must be no playing with
phony phases such as world
state" or use of gentle language
such as peace forces
The denunciation Of the foreign
policy draft was made in a state
ment which the standard-bearer
OF four years ago issued to re-
porters. He explained that he
employed that method to disclose
his views because he was not a
delegate TO the convention.
Willkie directed his criticism
particularly at the phraseology OF
the Republican pledge TO guard
future peace. asserting that it
could be likened to the COP
foreign policy plank Of 1920,
offered TO the people then as a
sure road to international Sc
curny. only to have the victorious
Republican presidential candidate,
Warren c. Harding. announce
after his election that the League
of Nations is dead
A Republican president elected
under the 1914 proposed program,
Willkie declared, could with
equal integrity" announce that
the United States would not enter
any world organization in which
the nations agreed to use their
sovereign power for the suppress
sion of aggression"

picture will no doubt be made on the food
front. Nutrition experts say one third of all
the people in the u S. are improperly nour-
ished, another third below the dietary stand
ards fixed by the National Research Council.
And malnutrition is cause of such diseases
as pellagra, contributing factor to many
others, such as tuberculosis.
What proper feeding will do is demon
strated by the u S. Army, the sturdiest and
healthiest group of fighting men in history
The u S. soldier is better fed than 60 per
cent of u S. civilians, mainly because the
latter have not availed themselves of we'll
balanced diet. Colonel Paul P. Logan of
the Quartermaster Corps says, This expert
ment in correct feeding on such grand scale
will have definite effects on national eating
habits after the war" Nutrition experts in
recent conference asserted that the provision
of adequate diets for all people would lead
to an advance in public health comparable to
that which followed the work of Pasteur."

notable contribution to longer life. Accord

ing to Professor Henry Sherman of Columbia
University. "a generous surplus of calcium
results in better development of the young,
higher norm of adult health, and longer
lease on what we may call the prime of life
- the period between maturity and old age"
Another promising approach to longevity
is the growing science of correcting unbalance
in body chemistry. BY supplying hormone
deficiencies and by surgical treatment of in
ternal glands, doctors hope to carry much of
our youthful vigor into mature years.
Furthermore, we may expect much from
the new medical and surgical techniques de-
veloped by the war - notably replacement
of parts Nerve banks as well as blood banks
are now used to provide the right nerves for
human repair jobs. In addition, bones. skin
and the cornea of eyes can be replaced. New
treatment of burns and shock, perfected dur
ing the war, will tend to lessen the accident toll
The prospects for living longer are bet
tering every day. But this presents us
with q great increase in chronic and de-
Renerative diseases. We have made our
least headway in controlling these. The SCI
ence of geriatrics is still in its infancy. But
more and more physicians are specializing in
this branch of medicine, and as increasing

among girls from five to IA and among boys
and men from five to 80. They kill more
youngsters under five than measles, scarlet
fever and diphtheria combined.
No wonder the government, industry and
the National Safety Council have been wag-
ing an all-out war of prevention Full-time
safety engineers in plane plants have halved
the accident-frequency rate since 1899. de-
spite the enormous influx of new workers
Noteworthy declines have been effected in
other industries In homes, where most acci-
dents occur, the accident rate for l943 showed
an increase Most of this increase reflects
adult carelessness. School safety programs
helped hold children's accidents in check.
Hone Hazards Are Wssse
0cIOOL children learn not only how. when
and where to cross street safely and how to
avoid accidents on the playground, but also
how to spot hazards in the home. Falls on
stairways cause the greatest number of home
accidents, so the kids are taught to check
stairs. as well as cellars, attics, closets and
possibly defective wiring. If parents would
cooperate more wholeheartedly in this cam
paign, it could become even more effective.
The next notable gain in the general health

attacks are made on this front, new gains
may be recorded.
What can you and l do to prolong life?
Taking tip from the Australians and New
Zealanders, we will look first to our diets
Our South Pacific allies are the best-fed peo-
pie in the world, which is the main reason
they are the longest-lived The average New
Zealander gets $500 calories day, close to
the ideal diet for the fairly active person.
What to Eat
Health authorities recommend this 100 per
cent daily diet for each adult: one pint of
milk, one or two servings of potatoes and
vegetables, two servings of fruit, one serving
of meat, fish or poultry, cereal or bread at
every meal, two or three tablespoonfuls of
butter or other fats, four to eight glasses of
water. Young children should have one quart
of milk day and cod-liver oil or other fish
liver oils for Vitamins A and D.

to live long, says DR.. Give M. McCay, who

marily of physical supern,en. One had been

Occupational schools for oldsters are pro-
posed by DR.. George Lawton. That you can't
teach an old dog new tricks has been utterly
exploded by Professor Edward L. Thorndike
of Columbia, who demonstrated that we do
not lose our ability to learn as we grow older
and can even beat youngsters at learning
languages. Schools for ''7O-and-over" stu
dents have sprung up in several places in the
past decade. The purpose of these schools is
to keep their pupils alert, to fill their lives
with new interests, and to teach them new
skills.
DR.. Bird does not view with alarm the grow
ing proportion of our population past so,
believing it to be reservoir of ability and
energy largely wasted in the past, but which
can now be put to use for the benefit of all.

eat what you like - but not too much.
A further rule for long life is to wear loose
clothing and spend much time in the open air.
Walking is one of the best exercises.
Stay Serene and Live Lon1
OF EQUAL importance to body conditioning
is tranquility of mind. Thousands of clinical
records at the Boston Dispensary testify that
disturbing emotions can contribute to the
development of wide range of diseases. IN
cluding asthma, arthritis, stomach ulcers and
heart trouble The late Dr.. Leopold Lichtwitz
Of Monte6ose Hospital in New York, demon
strated that clergymen are less troubled with
high blood pressure than others.
What pattern of life should we follow to
reach 100? The centenarians may be able to
help us on that, and Dr.. Grace E. Bird
of Rhode Island College Of Education has
studied $50 of them over period of 20 years.
Most members of the group. DR.. Bird found,
