THE POOR MALTREATED
 INFANTS


 Due to my husband being in the service and different ones taking care of my baby (complains one of thousands of young mothers) the baby has developed a bad case of bowel trouble. have to give him something every night to make them move. He is now nearly three years, old. (Mrs. -)
 It would be more accurate to say that, due to the belief of the baby's I care takers that they had to give the baby some kind of physic fre- quently to make the bowels move or daily to regulate" the bowel function, the baby, like most ba- bies similarly maltreated, has ac- quired the constipation habit or the physic habit, whichever you please to call it
 Most people with young babies to raise are not merely ignorant or the first principles of infant care as we should expect, in view of the exclusion of such instruction from the common school curriculum. ,, They are downright muttonheaded about it and practically impervious to enlightenment and they insist on doping their unhappy children with physic regardless-feeling justified in such mistreatment by the inces- sant harange of the medicine verl- dors.
 The very phrases regulation of the bowel' betrays the ignorance of physiology upon which the evil of physic (meaning cathartics laxa- tives, purgatives, enalmas and other unnatural forms of interference) rests. There is as much sense in that quack concept as there is in resorting to a regular nip of digi- tails to regulate the heart" or ssrychinne to regulate the breath ing"
 The trouble is that the gullible Yankee public has been so thoroly indoctrined for generations, that most people have come to believe it is all so, and, like the Nazi youth, they will not listen to any one who tries now to tell them it isn't so. Then too, there is an army of ''nur- ses," Saireygamps, little tin doctors and phony healers who, when they can't think of anything else to do to the gullible, advise physic of one kind or another, to eliminate toxic poisons." What poisons are not toxic or what is toxic if not poison they do not trouble to explain. I fiatter myself that possibly one out of a thousand persons reading the booklet Constipation Habit and Colon Hygiene" (copy on writ ten request if you send ten cents and stamped self addressed en- velope) derives enough inspiration and confidence to break the habit as I describe in the booklet. Like wise I estimate that less than one in thousand persons reading this article will wonder if know what I'm talking about when assert that the baby will never require anything to make the bowels move" if those who care for the baby have enough intelligence, or enough courage, to refuse to give the bbay that first dose of castor oil or other cathartic or that first enema or suppository.

urges upon the Nazi Government the importance of cooperation with American business.
 This whole question of whether American business will continue to cooperate with Germany after this war, as after the last, is sure to Turk in the background of President Trumans Berlin talks This is a definite school of thought in both Britain and the United States which advises building up Germany again as buffer against Russia. Unfor- tunately the presence of represen- tatives of Standard Oil, the Mel lon interests, J. P. Morgan and other powerful business corpora tions now in American uniform in Germany does not allay these Rus sian suspicious.
 Senator Kilgore of West Virginia has been studying this whole prob lem and expects to make public the Ford document soon. It was written November 25, 1941-twelve days before Pearl Harbor-in the form of a confidential memoran- dunn by Dr. Albert, chairman of the board of Ford-Werke A. G. in Cologne. Originally, Ford owned all of the German plant, out in 1928 he permitted the sale of 40 per cent of it's stock to German buyers, he retaining 52 per cent.
 Just before Pearl Harbor, Dr. Albert urged in his confidential memorandum that this 50 per cent American stock majority should not be diminished but should be used "to bring the remaining Eu- ropean Ford companies under German influence"
 He argued that if the Ameri- can ownership was eliminated, the Germans would lose 'the transmittal of the newest Ameri- can models as well as the insight into American production and sales methods. The maintenance of this connection was in the German interest," Dr. Albert urged.
 HOW FORD HELPED NAZIS Dr. Albert told how the Ford plant at Cologne had been turned more and more itno a German company, even though the major ity of stock was still held in the United States. In detailing the benefits Ford had given to the NaziS, he said:
 Tn cOnEec:.oA with this, all needed foreign raw materials were obtained through the American company (rubber, nOn-ferrOus metals) to cover the production needs of the Ger man plant and above that, in
 part for the whole industry.
 (This would imply that the
 whole German auto industry was partly supplied through Ford channels before Pearl Har- bor)
 Already during the peace the American influence had been more or less converted into a supporting position for the Ger man plant" Dr. Albert continued.
 During the capital increase made in the beginning of 1941 the question of 8 Germaniza- tion of the capital had been dis cussed with the (Nazi) authori- ties concerned which led to the reduction to 52 per cent of the American ma jority.
 Among the reasons speaking against a complete Germaniza- ton of the capital. the first one is the excellent sales organiZa- tion which, thanks to its connec- tion with the American company,
The Waterbury Democrat., 1945-07-17
is at the disposal of the German

is at the disposal of the German Ford-Werke A. G. according to their productivity the German company can export to all coun- tries of the world, and in this they are protected and supported in the matter of pricing by the American company. In some coun- tries this had led to make the German export of German Ford cars possible, even though the rest of the German industry was unable to find solid footing. This limits, or keeps away purely American competition to some extent.
 FORD TO BE USED AS CLOAK
 "'As long, as Ford-Werke A. G. have an American majority, it will be possible to bring the remaining European Ford companies under German influence, namely that of Ford -Werke A. G. and this to execute the greater European poli- c!es in this field, too. AS soon as the American majority is elim- mated. each Ford company in every country will fight for its ia- dividual existence. The just-now successfully accomplished joining Of the non-German, European companies to the potentiality of Ford-Werke A. G., and with this to the general war potentiality of Germany, would this collapse more or less by itself. Amsterdam, Antwerp, Budapest, Bukarest, Cop enhagen, etc., are concerned.
 "A majority, even if it is only a small one, of the Americans
 is essential for the-actually free-transmittal of the newest
 American models as well
 as for the insight into
 American production and sales
 methods. Since Americans are without a doubt particular ly progressive in this field, the
 maintenance of this connection
 is in the German interest. Through license fees or ,contrac-
 tural stipulations this cannot
 be accomplished. With the abolition of the American ma jority this advantage, as well as the importance of the com- pany for the obtaining of raw materials and exports would be lost. The plant would practical ly only be worth its own machine capacity"
 NOTE-The order of the Ger man Eagle, highest award for foreigners outside the Reich, was presented to Henry Ford on behalf of Hitler on July 30,. 1888. This was just about one year before Hitler plunged Europe into war. Two years later. when France, fell, Edsel Ford agreed with AS sistant Secretary of War Louis Johnson to manufacture airplane motors for sale to the British, but his father, Henry, Ford, can- celed the order from Detroit next day.

 A decade or two ago they were de- claring that material values alone have significance and that men work and fight for nothing but things. But we know today that men put their final trust in ideals. Behind all such ideals lie the spir- itual realities which Christianity at tempts to set forth.
