doubted his political wisdom)
Tho President did his best to
dispel the bogy Of conscription.
What he proposed Is not conscrip-
ton, but a training service. He
tried to clear up misconceptions
that the proposal parallels the sit
, uation in CONSUMPTION countries
where the conscription is immedi-
ately enrolled In the armed
forces
The system proposed for this
country is a training system, not
particularly in drill, but mainly in
the use OF all the instruments and
weapons of modern warfare.
Equality for opportunity, a key
phrase in the American taradition,
underlies the Presidents approach
to a system of national training.
In the war, many men were de-
prived Of the positions they merit
ed because Of the accident OF late
training. They were officered by
men whose sole claim TO rank was
that they sought training before the
war broke out or applied for entry
to Off1cers Candidate School I'm
time. Thus, the war machine, al
though II operated successfully,
was a hit-or-miss affair in the
matter OF status. All this would be
ruled out in the new system.
Everybody would start from
scratch: This would be a gain,
the President thinks for democra.
cy no less than for organization
and defense.
To President Truman, training is
one Of the prices OF American
peace in the age in which we live.
Congressman, George A. Dondero
Of Royal Oak, made this comment:
II thinf the President presented a
confusing picture in trying to make
compulsory military training or
conscription sound like voluntary
enlistment"
Like many others. Congressman
Earl Kitchener, Of Adrian, was re-
luctAnt to make extensive COM

Irregular Bleeding

The most constant symptom Of
these tumors is irregular bleeding.
The symptoms may begin with an
increase in the length Of the nor
NAL menstrual period, and finally
the periods may last for from ten
days to two weeks. The regularity
Of the periods may be lost. The
bleeding may be relieved by rest
in bed and made worse by physical
eXertion.
Often Anemia, OF lessening of
the coloring in the blood, develops.
II the tumor becomes large enough,
Of course, it may press on sur
rounding organs and produce diff
fculties. Pain is rarely present in
women with this difficulty.
As . rule, It Is not difficult TO
make a diagnosis Of a fibroid tu-
NOR Of the womb or uterus. A
careful examination by the doc
tor usually will indicate whether
or not such tumor is present.
There are two satisfactory ways
Of treating fibroids. One method
is by surgery and the other by the
use Of the X-ray. In younger pa
tients, X-ray treatments as q rule
are not satisfactory, since such
treatments may lead 10 inability
to have children.
In some instances there may be
disorders present which make sur
gerry impossible, such as thyroid
disease or heart disease. In these
instances the X-ray treatment
may be utilized.
Patients Studied
OF 800 patients studied, 200
were treated with X-ray or ra-
dium. In some instances both me-
thods were employed. In only two
cases the bleeding failed to be re-
lieved by this treatment.
In three instances pain con-
tinued after the bleeding stopped.
In two patients in whom the K.
ray treatments did not control the
condition, surgery was carried out.
Once q diagnosis Of fibroid
tumor has been made, the doctor
will decide which method Of treat
ment will be the most successful.

Fibroid
TumOrS
Common

By HERMAN NJ. BUNDESEN NJ. o
ONE Of the most common dis
turbances Of women is the devel-
opment Of fibroid tumors Of the
womb. These tumors are made up
Of muscle tissue and fibrous or
connective tissue. The exact cause
Of these tumors is not definitely
known. They may occur in persons
who are as young as twenty, or
IN those past seventy.
The average age in . group Of
women studied by Doctor John d.
PeAke Of Mobile was forty-two
years, and the average number Of
children born 10 these women was
three. 1t would appear that the
disorder Is more likely to occur in
women who have had no children.

Frustrated InteIIectuoIs9

Are intellectuals "powerless peo-
ple'? Professor C. Wright Mills of
the University of Maryland thinks
they are. In a paper published in
the Bulletin Of the American Asso-
citation of University Professors. he
argues: "The more his (the intellec-
tual's) knowledge Of affairs grows,
the less effective the impact of his
thinking seems to become" In
telligent men and women as q class,
he declares, are isolated from 'sthe
centers of political initiative" and
this generates a personal malady
that is particularly acute in the in
tellectual who has labored under the
illusion that his thinking makes a
difference"
Such an individual, Professor Mills
continues, grows more frustrated as
his knowledge increases" and "he
feels helpless in the fundamental
sense that he cannot control what
he is able to foresee." The fenced
of" intellectual discovers that he
cannot govern his own behavior any
more than he can that OF powerful
men whom he observes" Dictator
ships in many different countries
have represented not only "centrali-
cation OF decision" but also .re-
lated growth OF. dependency IA
few persons plan the activity Of the
state; the vast majority OF their con-
temporaries merely do what they
are told.
And such world of organized
responsibility" as results from
these general Illustrations" Is espe-
cially irksome to "the political man"
OF trained intelligence the intellec-
tual who normally would like to take
part In public affairs-but who
finds It increasingly difncult even

to express himself" The conse-
quence is that he feels politically
irrelevant"
But it always has been that way.
Shakespeare probably was the most
notably intelligent man Of his time
in England, but he had relatively
little influence upon the administra-
tion OF Queen Elizabeth. Spinoza
was expelled from the synagogue,
Calico was silenced, Voltaire lived
for years under the threat OF ini-
prisonment or execution, Joseph
Priestly witnessed the burning of his
library by mob, Thomas Paine was
called an atheist and a drunkard on
account of his unconventional views.
The list of such Illustrations" is
endless.

Sir Ronald Lindsay

When Sir Ronald Lindsay left
Washington for the last time in
August, 1889, the Second World War
had not yet begun. He had done
his part to prevent the outbreak of
hostilities and up to the last he still
insisted that there was hope for
peace. But, of course, he realized
that conditions then prevailing
were intolerable to civilized people.
AS a veteran student of history, the
British Ambassador to the United
States during the nine years pre-
ceding Hitler S march on Poland
was qualified to guess what was
coming. In that regard, too, he did
not toll in vain. The crisis, when it
finally developed, found Britain and
America friends; and he had con-
tributed to their friendship.
Sir Ronald undeniably was an
aristocrat with some Of the inherent
idiosyncrasies of his class. He was
shy to pathetic degree. It hap
pened, also, that his hearing was
defective. The result was that he
was not invariably at ease with
strangers. Visitors to the Embassy
got the impression that he was
bored by their presence. The con-
trary was the case, but the Am
bassador simply was bankrupt of
ways and means to prove that he
really was a congenial person.
Those who knew him intimately
loved him. His very lack of con-
scious charm endeared him to them.
They valued him for being what he
was-a servant of a dynasty of
kings whose business was good will.
And the comfy he sought was
of the substantial sort. It stood
firm when the storm ragged. Sir
Ronald survived to see the end Of
both phases OF the Second War and
the commencement OF the era Of
