CONSUMPTION
CONTROVERSY
UP IN CANADA
Role in War Against Japan
May Become Issue in
June Election

VANCOUVER, B. c., May IT.
Canada's role in the war against
Japan appeared likely today to be-
come a major issue in the June ii
Federal election, with Prime Min
lister w. L. Mackenzie Kings Gov
eminent tangled in new type OF
CONSUMPTION controversy.
Opening his campaign for reelec-
ton here last night. the Prime
Minister, speaking in Pacific port
more interested in the war against
Japan than any other large city
in the Dominion, declared Can
ada's war effort will be directed
with unremitting energy until
Japan is defeated, but he eau
toned against over-emphasizing it
as an issue.
This apparently was in reply to
opposition attacks against his an
nounced policy of sending only
volunteers into the japanese war,
and of making the Far Eastern
war effort more civilian than mill
tary.
The Prime Minister declared that
mo greater mistake could be made
than to decide the election on any
single issue"

NATIONAL BUDGET
FOR RUSSIA TOLD
BY TOKYO RADIO
(By Associated Press)

A Domei broadcast from Tokyo
said today the recently adopted
Russian national budget of 307,7l4,-
754 600 rubles for 1945-46 indicated
that Soviet authorities, contrary
to enemy wishful thinking" were
aiming at economic rehabilitation
and not preparing for a war against
Japan.
The broadcast quoted an article
from the Japanese economic journal
Nippon Sangyo Keizai, as saying the
budget was tremendous increase
over original estimates, but at
tributing the increase to postwar
planning.
1T is natural that the Soviet IN
ion will have to spend much for re-
Mobilization of territories which she
recaptured," the article said

.NAzH TO HELP
ALLIES IN WAR

Prisoners Will Help Rede.
pIoyment Of American

BY James M. Long
tAssociated Press War Correspondent

PARIS, May 17-German man
power and technical skill already
have been put to work by the
Allies helping to win the war
against Japan.
This is one of the top priority
jobs for the millions of prisoners
in Allied hands. AS fast as they
can be screened they are being
used in every possible way to speed
the gigantic task of re-deploylng
American forces and equipment for
the cleanup in the Pacific.
Skilled German prisoners are be-
ing used to recondition equipment
to be shipped to the Far East.
Others by the thousands are toiling
under the eyes of Doughboy guards
on every kind of job from Grating
supplies to repairing roads over
which men and material will flow
back to the Atlantic ports.
Next to facilitating the American
Army's re-deployment, the m o st
important job to which German
prisoners will be turned probably
will be farming-trying to raise
enough food to win what obviously
will be close race with starva-
ton in middle Europe next winter.
There is still another job await
ing them-the task of rebuilding
ruined Europe.
Russia and Britain already are
using war prisoners for recon-
struction. France has put in her
bid for tens of thousands for this
purpose.
1t seems likely the Germans may
have to work out much of their
reparations in sheer sweat, perhaps
for years to come. 1t. Gen. Lucius
D. Clay, Gen. Eisenhower's deputy
for the occupation of Germany, has
said that when the Reich is combed
for this labor job the most active
Nazis will be placed on top of the
list.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 17-Com-
pletion Of new peace-league char
ter now appears probable in about
three weeks, but in the background
of the United Nations Conference
critical big-power problems are
for the months ahead.
The heat is being turned on to
get the job here finished Con-
ference committees, raking over
proposed changes in the basic Dunn
barton Oaks Security Plan, are
eliminating many amendments.
Assembly Advice Only
Their work to date strongly in
dicates that the plan for an all
powerful l1-member security coun-
Gil and general assembly limited
to debating peace problems and
advising on their solution will go
through.
This was borne out late last
night by the action of the con-
ference committee studying assem-
bly, duties in voting down a whole
series Of small nation proposals
for giving the assembly some con-
troll over council actions.
One result of the pressure for
speed may be for the other big
nations to move ahead on settle
ment of urgent issues without wait
ing for full agreement with Rus
STA whenever Moscow responds
slowly to Soviet delegation re-
quests for instructions.
No Kremlin Reply
That situation, in fact, is already
coming to head over the United
States proposal that the new char
ter shauld allow for regional de-
Tense systems to protect nations
which the world security system
may fail to protect against attack.
Ambassador Andrea Gromyko,
chief Soviet delegate. wired the pro-
posal to Moscow for instructions
Saturday. Yesterday he told Secre-
tary Stettinius and other Big
Five" colleagues he had not yet
received instructions.

Bv HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, M. D.

OF all the mild laxative sub
stances. mineral oil is probably
used most frequently. For this rea-
son, Doctor Charles A. Anderson
and his co-workers of Burlington,
North Carolina, have made a study
of its effects and action.
Many statements have been
made concerning the possible
harmful effects of mineral oil. 1t
has been stated that it may retard
digestion by coating the particles
of food; that it interferes with
the absorption Of the products Of
digestion; that it may cause an
excessive loss of mineral salts,
such as lime and phosphorus, and
interfere with the absorption OF
vitamin "a"
An Excellent Effect
On the other hand, these physi-
clans think that when mineral OIL
is employed by giving 1T directly
by injection into the lower bowel,
IL mas All tNtclltIlI i tii' e'Nf
have found it most useful IN h
treatment of cases of severe con-
stipation.
They found that mineral oil has
a most effective soothing action
en- the irritAted rectum. BY its
soothing action, it reduces spas
ITCHY or contractions Of the bowel.
Because of its weight and bulk, 1t
acts as a mild stimulant.
When mineral oil is given by in
lection into the lower bowel, 1t
acts on this part of the intestine
only. 1t permits complete dlges-
ton of the food in the small in
testine.
Better Results
In 100 patients treated IN l
wav. it was found the more severe
the symptoms the better we're the
results. Patients with mid CON
stipation due to weakness OF the
bowel muscles reported little II
any improvement. In the severe
.ases of constipation, and IN all

Effect And Action
OF Mineral Oil

eases of rectal irritation with or
without a spastic bowel, good re-
suits vel obtained. In fact, there
were no failures in the treatment
in those instances in which there
had been irritation of the rectum.
Relief of spasticity occurred
with surprising promptness. 1t
would appear that the oil acts az
a soothing protective agent which
gradually permits the tissue to re-
cover and the muscles to regain
their normal strength.
Bedtime Dose
In most instances, the patients
used the oil only at bedtime. How
ever, when there were severe cases
of piles, better results were OBJ
tanned when Il small amount of the
Oil was injected after each bowel
movement. Some patients could
not retain the oil and in these
cases petroleum jelly or petrola-
tum was also used by putting it
into the lower bowel.
In constipation occurring IN
babies and small children, it
would appear that this method Of
treating constipation has been
found quite satisfactory. 1t would
seem that the nor severe the con-
stipation and the greater the spas
ticity of the bowel, the better were
the results obtained.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
P. Tt am sixty-seven and
have been taking treatment for
proctitis. Is there any hope?
Answer:-Proctitis means in
hammation of the rectum. Such in
hammation may be due to an infec-
ton but may also come from e r
tain types of tumor growths. A
careful study should be made to
determine the cause for the condi-
ton. Then proper treatment a
be carried out. Whether or not re-
ccverv will occur in your case
would depend entirely o. what u
producing the difficulty.
