Little Faith

Without taking sides in the argument over Henry Wallace's aspiration to be Secretary of Commerce and also admins trator of the vast REC financial empire, one may be intrigued by his remark that he does not want the former position If there is danger that "too little and too late" man might get the financial admin istratorship.
 If the jobs are separated President Roosevelt will, of course, appoint the man to take over the financial set-up Surely Mr. Wallace does not contend that he IS the only available appointee who would not be a "too little and too late' man. Surely he does not insinuate that the President would appoint such person to that job. Any implication that MT. Wallace lacks faith in the Presidents appointive discretion must have been unintentional.

Worries About Patents

Up until few years ago patent issued 0y the United States Government was accepted as rightful and legal monopoly ty1asmuch as patents were granted by the United States Government.
 During recent years the Federal Gov ernment has accused business firms With manipulating more than six-hundred patents in joint conspiracies to restrain trade. The Supreme Court decided that a gigantic patent pool had been set up by the glass-container industry, and manipulated as major monopoly. The Court found that invention of glass making machinery had been discouraged, that competition in the manufacture and sale or licensing of such machinery had been suppressed, and that competition from manufacturers of unpatented glass ware was frequently destroyed in unlaW- 4ull ways. The glass industry was oc- cused with carrying on continuous cam paign of threats of infringement suits against competitors who entered their field.
 In some modern industries there exists e recognized system of interchange of patent rights. A manufacturer who pro- duced a new improvement in an automo- bile may grant the right to competitors to use the invention. Thus great many mechanical discoveries are in use by con- petitive motor companies with no objec- fiOns from the Government.
 The trouble is that there are too many lawyers crusading, and attacking the American patent system. Unfortunately they find plenty of sympathy and support En the legal departments of the Govern ment. That's why there are so many Rporrieg abolIt DateI1tg

Untapped Natural Resources

The war has demonstrated that, even under great handicapS of shortages of equipment, man-pOWer and services, American farms have been able to pro- duce record crops in this country. The cost has been appalling. We have squeezed from the land every atom of its potential production, throwing to the winds all of the damage done through mining the soil, and failing to put back its vitality and fertility. This is war, and much can be overlooked. It cannot go on indefinitely.
 Today this nation has almost reached the end of untapped soil, forest and min- eral resources. It has became painfully evident that our only recourse is to con- serve the remainder of these vital factors, and replace as many as possible - If the nation is to be prosperous and If we are to maintain our standards of living.
 Since the Pilgrims gazed upon the boundless expanses of virgin land in the New World with it's promise of ineXhauStl- ble productivity, the steady and rapid de- spletion of soil resources has proceeded at an appalling rate. Forests have been destroyed and not replaced, great areas of prairie pasture lands have been plowed and fertility mined from the soil k411OOk14
 Early in this period of resource eX- ploitation the vital productive capacity of the land resulted in a surplus of food products beyond the needs of the farmer. This surplus freed mems minds for in- vention and progress; the industrial rev. Olution and the birth of the machine age followed quickly. Great strides were made in the application of mechanical power to industrial production and trans portation. Employment was concen- trated in manufacturing areas, cash pur- chasing power was created, with which the city dwellers could buy more of the products of the farms and factories.
 Although there was great stimulation an the incentive to produce more and more farm products, the development of effi- cient, profit-producing agricultural ma chinery Jagged - and is still trailing far behind the advances in industrial equipment. The tremendous advances in human well-being in America offer abundant proof that all human progress has it's foundation in prosperous ana bOuntiful agriculture. It has become universally recognized that when crops are poor or when markets for farm products are restricted, the prosperity of the whole nation is lowered in proportion.
 Need for a new concept of sound na- fional economy is eWdent,-the concept that without prosperous agriculture, na- tional prosperity is impossible. And agriculture, to be prosperous, must con- serve and replace soil resources, and de- yelop modern efficient mechanical methods to reduce costs. These princi- pleS are of national concern.

HUNGER BY THE COTE d'AZUR
(New York Herald-Tribune,

The French Riviera, that lovely crescent between the Maritime Alps and the sea, which has basked in It's winter sunshine for so many happy years, has come upon lean days. Not only are some of the haunts of the rich and fashionable fallen into dil- apication and decay, but there is some complaint of actual lack of food. A region which abounded in semi tropical fruits and luxuries of southern attitudes Is now, 1t is re- ported, prey to scarcity and to the turbulence that insufficient meals provoke.

happenings of the future. No one in the world knows what is going to take place in his life or nthe life of anyone else during the next sixty seconds. It is great blessing that we do not know what lies over the crest. But it puts responsibility upon US also. We have to be pre- pared for anything that may hap pen. Such being the case, we have to observe the rules of the road scrupulously at all times and see that we are well within the limit of those laws, conventions, and moral principles which govern all right ac- tion.
 The only way to be ready for any particular thing is to be ready for everything. Lifes overwhelming events have a way of popping up over the crest of the next minute, or day, or year, in a manner which demoralizes us. Only the calm mind and heart set on eternal things can

pens as after the last war, and if they see the same little group of Obstructionists responsible, then I, for one, fear the con- sequences.
 That is why think the Senate fight over Henry Wallace and his plans for the common man may take its place in history along side the historic fight over Wood row Wilson and his plans for per- manent peace. only wish that some of your friends in the Senate had your broad understanding of these problems, or at least your sym- pathetic desire to inquire into them.

Governor O. Max Gardner Shelby, North Carolina Dear Governor:

We were remarklng that wal lace was politically inept. He has been presiding over the Senate for four long years. Usually when Senator or anyone close to the Senate comes up for confirmation for an administrative appointment, he is confirmed by exclamation. regardless of his political views, regardless of committee hearings, and regardless of research into his past.
 The Senate would have con- firmed Jack Garner for the dual job of Loan Administrator and Secretary of Commerce without any hesitation whatsoever. Also Charles Curtis - though neither was banker nor businessman. They were skilled, however, at poker and smoke-f -filded-room politics, and they would have been con- firmed.
 Henry Wallace, on the other hand, has hardly made more than half 8 dozen close friends in four years of presiding over the Senate. He mas no private refrigerator. He does not even smoke. When Senators dropped in to see him he was timid and shy and talked about foreign af- fairs and preclusive buying of seed corn. He just lacked the aptitude fSr winning close friends and influencing Sena- tors.
 WOODROW WILSON
 AND WALLACE
 But sometimes wonder whether in the broader sense Wallace hasn't been a very smart politician. For while lacking friends in the Senate, he has won millions throughout the nation. AS you remarked. his devotion to principle, his austerity, his in- ability to compromise is so much like another great man the Sem ate rebuffed-Woodrow wilson.
 As the world looks back on Woodrow Wilson's fight over the League of Nations, it is gen. orally recognized that that battle was the turning point toward 8 new war. And what I am afraid of Is that the current Senate fight over Hei;ry Wal lace (in which he has already lost more than 30 per cent of the battIe) may be the turning point toward another different kind of war.
 You know far better than the danger of economic war which can follow military victory. AS Cover nor of North Carolina you told me how even your efficient state had difficulty meeting its fi- nancial obligations in the depreS- sion days of 1882. We all re- member the threats to lynch the judges in Iowa, and how the draw bridges across the Potomac were raised for the first time in history to prevent 10000 angry, hungry war veterans from storming the nations capitol.
 And what I don't believe the Byrds or the Baileys, the Tafts or the McKellars have any con- ceptiOn of Is how easily this may happen again.
 MUST NOT HAPPEN AGAIN
 In the European War theater today there are 18,OOO American soldiers absent without leave. While many of these are technical AWOLs, on the other hand we already know how the black mar. ket has prospered in France. and We know that some American troops, especially in Italy. have left the Army permanently, have married local women, and live by black market or my raidtng the vast stores of American supplies in France and Italy.
 While these are in the vast minority, we cannot escape the be ready for any circumstance. GoC aIosaA 0aa akt11 e4atp 0nviAtV and ma kI

 Self Reform

Washington, D. C., Feb. 6 - The 10th Congress will probably have be- fore 1t this year no domestic issue of greater importance than its own reform.

tion picture were so exasperated by representations of food that police had to be called in to repres- an ef- fervescence. A picture, Henry VIII" showing that corpulent monarch seated at a table on which were beef. salmon, game, caviar and other deli cacies, was banned as likely to prove more than the audience could tol- crate. The gentle airs and breezes of the marvellous Riviera remain. but until trains once more traverse with some regularity the eighty oi more tunnels that border the coast, bringing food, there will be little gayety among the winter residents and croupierS will be without enn- ployment.

GIVE THE BABY A BREAK

My husband drinks quite lot Of beer. We have four year old son. When he is drinking he will let our son pick up the bottle and drink beer also. I have remonstrated but he says 1t will not hurt the child. (MrS. N. H. R)
 Would you advise giving about x of an aspirin tablet every two or three hours to child 21z years old to break up cold2 (W. R)
 The only water my wife will let our six months old baby have to drink is water that has been boil- ed with some kind of syrup and oil added. Whenever I want to give the baby plain tap water (our city water is pure) she says 1t is not good for him. (R. M
 My baby Is 2 years old and takes evaporated milk and water (boiled) half and half, also some small amounts of meat, cheese, eggs and vegetables. Inasmuch as she likes her milk formula and drinks quite a lot of it, should I keep her on it or change to bottle milk? (Mrs. c. M0
 Such queries, fairly representative of the general popular knowledge of the care of the baby, indicate that the average baby in Yankeeland doesn't get a very good break.
 Giving young child tastes of al- coholic liquor or beverages is repre- hensible not merely because 1t cul- tivates a desire or craving for nar- cotics (of which alcohol Is one) but because even little alcohol is poisonious to young child, which explains why children who get hold of liquor may die of acute 1ntoxica- ton.
 AS have said here many times aspirin, in my opinion, neither cures nor "breaks-up" and disease or ail- ment. It is less dangerous than other sense-deadening drugs whose vendors tell the dimwit Yankee wiseacre public will "help" what ever aches, pains or worries the dimwits have. But to ply an ailing child with aspirin is my idea of maltreatment. Leave the child alone. Time to give an ailing child medicine when the doctor directs you to do so.
 Strange notion, that baby should not be given all the water he wants to drink, without any ad- mixture. Nearly three-fourths of the baby's weight is water. Of course most of the baby's food (breast milk or bottle formula) is water, but plain cold water may be given from spoon or bottle whenever the baby seems to want 1t.
 Instead. of pampering the two- year-old child with evaporated milk and water, half and half, the moth CT should offer the child pure fresh milk, Grade A Raw from tubercu- lin-tested herd if 1t is available, otherwise Grade A Pasteurized-or any fresh milk which is par-boiled brought to boil for one minute only-this makes any milk perfec- ly safe for infant, child or adult.
