POLITICAL PARADE
: By George Rothwell Brown :

CONGRESS at long last is
~ being forced TO look the
financial facts of life squarely
in the face.
Let us group together, for a
moment, few things outside
the necessities of the govern
ment for its own support and
the conduct of the war.
These things have come to-
gether in focus with irresistible
appeal-they can no longer be
ignored, nor can they be con-
sidered separately:
The bill to increase the
national debt limit. which is
fixed by statute. to 100000 mil
lions of dollars, has been passed
by the House. and is now be-
fore the Senate.
2-The bill to implement
financially the Breton Woods
agreements, which in turn are
cleverly related to Dumbarton
Oaks, and the coming con-
ference of the nations at San
Francisco, would require an
initial put" by the United
States, in this proposed inter-
national put and take" game,
of s., 100000.
3-The bill to extend the
life of the lend-lease law for
one year from June 30, 1915;
and the period in which the
American government would be
authorized to carry out con-
tracts for four years, or until
June 80, 1949.
ON THE national debt an an
" nual interest charge of
from five to six billions of dol
lars is lust around the corner"
This sum must be raised by
taxation, as a fixed charge. and
paid TO those who hold the ev4
denceS of the debt, before doll
lar can be spent for army, navy,
air force. subsidies, pensions, re-
lief, rivers and harbors, mag
nifcent valley schemes" and
the vast expense of running
the government"
Under the Breton Woods
proposals the close 10 six bill
lions of dollars is only a
starter" Uncle Sans initial
ante in the game.
Under lend-leaSe this govern
ment has Just entered into an
agreement with France. pub
lished Feb %, 1945, by the
terms of which we are to fur
niSh France with raw materials,
food, petroleum, locomotives,
ships, machinery and industrial
equipment, aggregating S2,575.-
100000. This is to be repaid.
we are told, over a period of 30
years at 2$s per cent interest.
Can France, ruined as she is,
repay this debt?
The Republican position in
Congress IS that under this
agreement. contrary TO the
original conception of lend
lease, the United States will in
cur obligations abroad with
respect TO postwar rehabilita-
ton and reconstruction.

BETTER HEALTH
BY DR.. Herman Bundesen

A4ANY-perSons accept the
WI idea that headaches are
frequently due 10 the eyes, and
II is true that certain head
aches may be produced by va
rlous eye disorders Such head
aches are called ocular or eye
headaches. According TO DR..
Harry NJ. Traquair of EdIn-
burgh, about 10 out OF every
100 headaches are due TO eye
disturbances.
II Is interesting 10 note that
ocular headaches are most COM
mon in persons between the
ages of 13 and 20 and in young
adults. They are also more
frequent in girls than in boys.
Persons who are not very ac-
tive and who do a great deal OF
reading. writing. fine sewing or
art work. as well as clerks,
dreSsmakers, studen and
typists are the ones who are
most likely 10 develop ocular
headaches.
WHEN ocular headache oc-
w ours. the pain 4 usually
across the forehead and some
times behind the eyes. Occa-
slonally. the pain may pass
into the temples or into the
back of the neck. Both sides Of
the head are affected. The pain
Is usually Of a dull. aching
character. Often. the patient
may describe the sensation as
one OF drawing or pulling in the
: eyes. II is worthy of note that
Athe more severe a headache is
Vthe less likely IL is that il is
due 10 eye trouble.
Ocular headaches usually de-
velop after the person has been
al work for some time. Thus.
they often come on in the after
noon and tend 10 pass off when
the use Of the eyes for close
work stops. In ocular headache.
the pain may be present on
awakening, but gets better dur
ing the morning and then re-
appears if much close work is
done during the day This type
of headache does not seem TO
keep a patient from sleeping.
Then. too. the headache is less
likely TO be present during
week-ends when the patient is
not engaged in work which re-
quires use of the eyes.

Whenever you find a per-
son of the opposite sex feels as
you do about life, love, sym
pathy, religion, right and wrong,
and who is physically attractive
and within reasonable limits of
mating age, you are surely in
love. When you know that, no
matter what you do, some one
understands, II gives a feeling
of confidence and security that
nothing else can give.
PUNISHMENT should fit the
criminal not the crime. Sane
crimes should be punished more
severely than others but, TO
suppose we have solved the
crime problems by increasing
the punishment in proportion TO
the seriousness Of the crime, is
merely fooling ourselves. II
shows we are seeking TO satisfy
our feelings .or revenge. and are
TOO lazy TO study the criminal

letter from the British embassy
that the ministry will do every
thing possible TO provide facili-
ties for you to obtain informa-

which you have a special inter-

thinks you will find the visit

Obviously. I said, they either
are hep to you as a newspaper

you what will interest and
