For the Children

Albert Porter Rowe Jr, and J. G.
Geiger, agrees that muscle spasm
is of uniform occurrence in early
poliomyelitis and is of great dag
nostic value"
This contention, in conjunction
with the skillful and beneficial apph
cation of hot packs, is the very basis
of the Kenny concept.
At the conclusion was this acco-
lade: "The Kenny treatment Dith or
without neostigr,ine "a synthetic
alkaloid injected to relieue muscle
sposn1). is an effective method OF
preventing contractnre and de-
fornity."
Sister Kenny is just back from
three months in England and Bel
gium and she is "enthusiostic oUer
the reception given her by the
medical profession"
She will open clinics abroad for
her great work when this campaign
for S. 100000 is over The drive will
continue from Nov. % to mid
December.
ITO HELP in this work there is
L going into production film made
by R-K-O, with Rosalind Russell as
the star, which will show us the al
most miraculous cures effected on
children afflicted by the dread
polio" by this heroic woman from
Australia.
Sister Kenny herself made this
remarkable statement to the Ameri-
can Weekly.
perhaps | should nouO en1pha-
size that my system is not so much a
new method of treatment as a netO
concept of the disease and its prob
lems-a concept that WiH forever
make il unnecessary for any child to
be crippled or deformed as the result
of infdntile paralysis"
If that is so-and from Sister
Kenny's past work we have every
reason to believe it is-then she will
go down in medical history with
Pasteur, Morton and Mayo.
For further details as to how you
can help in this drive, write or tele-
phone the Kenny headquarters, Can
non Memorial, in Washington Blvd,

Workers Favor Peace

NEXT a quite substantial portion of the
~ rank -and-fle of the workers themselves
favors peaceful settlement of disputes. Many
of them have told us so, or have written
us letters to that effect
Finally, there is still another group that
would benefit if strikes were relegated TO the
dark ages. We refer TO the stockholders
the investors in American enterprise the risk
takers, another unorganized group which fre-'
quently finds itself ground between power
hungry management and labor leaders.

But no old order ever changed without
great ado. Always there are those who fear
every change. Frequently the most desirable
reforms emerge only out of near chaos

the 1920s bank failures in the United States
had become scandal and a nightmare.

the situation were criticized tending 10

Panic Aoain Threatens

MEN lost their reason as we'll as their
1Vl fortunes. Suicides jumped from WIN
dows until it was hardly safe to walk down
the streets. Panic stalked the land-just as
it is beginning to do again as strikes threaten
to paralyze the nerve centers of the nation
Seeing what was taking place Is years
ago, a few bold souls suggested as a solution
federal guaranty of bank deposits The
idea was rejected by almost every banker in
the country They told us it would destroy
freedom and private enterprise, that it would
encourage unsound banking, that it would
penalize the strong in order to aid the weak,
and finally, that it would bankrupt the fed
eral government
And so we did not have insurance of any
deposit until the panic finally eliminated IN
every bank in the nation being closed.

charged the banks either be reduced or waived

There are those who declare that we will
be sacrificing our freedom and our rights If
strikes and lockouts are outlawed. The very

@vanced when the first suggestion was made in
prehistoric times for the establishment OF
courts to settle disputes between man and man.
Today no one argues that We should have
no courts-that it is necessary in the name of

CAPITALISM has its faults. In the past
~ il has produced periodic depressions
through glutted markets and overspecula-
ton. 1t has failed to employ all the available
willing hands and minds 1t has maintained
an idle. useless class who are merely luxury
consumers and who contribute nothing TO the
economy. These are faults with which we
are all familiar The reiteration and docu
mentation of these facts are presented by
learned Communist writer's as proofs that
communism makes sense.
THE FAULTS OF CAPITALISM DO NOT
PROVE THE VIRTUES OF SOCIALISM.
These faults of capitalism are its negative
side Their elimination, alone. will do nobody
any good. The enormous and universal con-
Germ of all socialisms with the faults Of
capitalism show how bankrupt of positive
ideas all socialsms are. For socialisms have
for positive ideas-and no specific ones.
CAPITALISM has survived because it is so
- immensely positive.
Despite its depressions, capitalism has
given the highest standard of living to the
greatest number Of people.
Capitalism has provided the WIDEST
CHOICE of every conceivable commodity,
service, culture, amusement . and neces-
sity.
Capitalism has provided the greatest num-
Der of things being made and things being

Sacred Rights

IN SANCTIMONIOUS terms they talk of the
L sacred right" to strike, and the Sacred
right" of management to retain within ITS
own hands the final decision in all matter
dealing with workers. They close their eyes
to the fact that when they have lost strike
they swallow their sacred rights" and get
along as best they can.
II neither labor leaders nor management
want compulsory arbitration, who then does
favor such an innovation?
First of all, the unorganized and voiceless
public-always the innocent victims of labor
warfare.
