Breton Woods Report

In their joint report on the Breton
Woods proposals., the American
Bankers Association, the Association
OF Reserve City Bankers and the
Bankers Association for Foreign
Trade make recommendations mer-
iting the most careful consideration
Drawn up in constructive spirit,
the report indorses the objectives of
the Breton Woods program, but
urges Congress to reject that part of
it which would set up huge and
highly complicated world monetary
or stabilization fund.
The bankers raise several objec-
tions to the fund plan, chief among
them being that it involves "un-
proved and impractical" lending
methods; that it would commit the
United States prematurely to
heavy obligation which ought not
to be undertaken while the world
situation is still in hux; that it is
so complex as to be open to several
interpretations; that member coun-
tries would be entitled to borrow
from it irrespective of whether their
internal economic policies were
sound or not, and that it's operation
might easily lead to divided author
ity and confusion between itself and
that part of the Breton Woods pro-
gram which would establish an IN
ternational Bank for Reconstruction
and Development.
But although they thus argue
vigorously against the fnnd idea, the
banking groups strongly support the
bank proposal, recommending that
Congress approve 1t with only a few
minor changes. THE Fund and the
Bank" says their report, "are in
different categories. The proposed
International Bank embodies salts
factory principles and procedures:
the loans have to be for specific pur-
poses, they have to be examined by
a special committee, they must OFFER

Desires No Alliance
To the Editor of The Star.

TO the Editor Of The Star: =
I get from DR.. Philip Marshall Browns
letter. in The Star for February S, that
tits the custom and policy OF the ma
tions Of Europe to hold to power politics.
But that is one reason why the United
States should stand aloof, avoiding en-
tanglements with the Old World an
irrevocable principle set forth by our
first President, George Washington.
I think any foreign alliance tnvolv-
ing the United States in power politics
is derogatory to the peace. security and
safety of our country.

Urges Responsible" Government

Urges Responsible" Government
To the Editor of The Star:
There is talk Of a constitutional
amendment to make the various execu-
tive bodies directly responsible to Con-
gfess. That is halfway measure. Why
not abolish at once the real division of
authority, the independent election of
the President?
1t is the duty Of the President to
execute the laws made by Congress; in
other words, to do what Congress tells
him to do.
But government has become largely
personal, with the President and his
subordinates exercising vast powers be-
yond the control Of the lawmakers.
1t would simplify procedure, bring
unity in government, and end the fear
OF dictatorship If the President were
elected BY Congress and held ONCE only
50 long as he had the confidence Of
Congress.
Then the leader OF the dominant
party would be President. and public
policy would not depend on one man,
but on an organized group, responsible
to the people.

Wants Military Training Delayed

Wants Military Training Delayed
To the Editor Of The Star:
1t strikes me that The Star misses
the point when it says under the head
ing. Postwar defense: With the ex-
pert testimony available in support Of
the contention that it is (necessary)
Congress would be well advised to make
the decision In favor of it (peacetime
conscription) now" Admittedly, COM
pulsory peacetime military training has
nothing to do with the present war
effort. yet who can gainsay that many
citizens will confuse these two issues?
And can any one deny that more than
any other segment of our citizenry, per-
haps, the men In. the service should have
a voice in this decision? Yet our men
the fathers Of the next generation-are
scattered to the four corners of the earth
at the present time. From the point of
view Of judicious consideration and pop
ular consent, the question OF peacetime
conscrtption well might await the ter
mination Of the war.
In connection with the attitude of
servicemen 1t is a fact that many of
them feel that We should not adopt a
system which unnecessarily would en-
hance the power Of military authori-
tarianism in this country. It has been
necessary for them as soldiers and
sailors temporarily to give up many
freedoms and to accept the frequently
stultifying influence Of complete reg
imentation.
Before we adopt program of peace
time conscription. let us hear from the
veterans and let us then examine all
possible alternatives We cannot do this
until the war Is over and the men are
home. Many graying "GI Joe" may be
disheartened, If he comes back to find
that In his absence and without his
consent the Nation has committed his
children to year of military service
and to such additional military training
as the Congress upon the recommends
ton of the War Department thereafter
may prescribe. SOLDIERS WIFE.

Ann Arbor, Mich, Aug. 15-Dr,
T. Luther Purdom, director Of the
University OF Michigan Bureau of
Appointments and Occupational In
formation, confesses that q study
Of college students who have gone
from college into trade, industry
and the professions, has made him
pretty hard boiled"
During his research DR.. Purdom
discovered that a man who gets
ahead in the work requires these
qualities:
/. Have abundant energy enab-
ling him to make and seize upon
opportunities,
2. Concentrates on doing the
things-little and big-that count
in getting ahead,
3. He studies the weaknesses and
strength of the people with whom
he deals,
4. He makes It a point to know
people who count and is ready to
play the game IL need be,
5. Develops little color to make
himself stand out and be noticed.
And the worst thing anybody can
do when trying TO get ahead Is be
a "handyman" who is always do
ing everything for every body else.

wondered II all miscreants were as

talked. Shifting of to New York to

village was plumb weak headed!
Well--she hadn't gotten away
with her rebel tricks always. She
thought now Of that FIRST awful
winter. dragging around Icy streets
of a strange city with that chronic
appendix. That last frightful night
when she had dragged herself down
three flights Of stairs to rouse the
landlady and get an ambulance. It
was lonesome, terrifying some
times, this being q REBEL Why
couldn't she stay where she be-
ionged? She had thought she could
stay In New York. And she had

on the paper and published q first

the money for security. oh no: she
must rush down here on an impulse
as violent as the one that sent her
to New York. And now, instead Of
going home sanely. admitting to
Fitz Turner she had been wrong,
marrying him-she was burning
her bridges again. As Uncle John
said, she might be sorry some day.
The knock on her sitting room
door brought her out Of her mus
ing. It was the manager Of the no
tel. no less. A short, pink-faced In
dividual. He frowned anxiously as
he noticed she had not removed her
hat. Was everything entirely salts

For an instant Terry hesitated.
This she knew was positively her
last chance. She could still say no
and walk out. She could 60 back to

The noise that came from Terry's
well-shaped throat sounded to the
manager like vocal considering. 1t
was not that. It was a choke Of
sudden hysteria. After a moment OF
getting herself In control, Terry
murmured quietly that she pre-
ferred to do without a maid. She
thanked him and closed the door.
Abruptly she felt buoyant happi.

She bathed luxuriously In the old
style, ornate bathroom, stretched
out for almost two hours of drowsy
rest on the chaise lounge and, feel
ing completely refreshed, leisurely
dressed in her best evening gown,
which had been packed so carefully
to wear at home with Fitz Turner.
She turned to view herself In the
full-length mirror beside the fabu-
lous dressing table before she went
down. The lamp giinted on the rich
masses OF copper colored hair piled
high on her small head. II gave the
vivid blue Of her eyes a look Of pur-

reflected, but as long as she was

As she made her way cooliy
across the crowded lobby. she was
conscious Of receiving more than
her share Of admiring chances. She
went straight to the ticket office to
make her reservation for the races.

Earache May be
Serious Should
il be Neglected

serious Onoulu
il be Neglected
By HERMAN NJ. BuNDESEN. NJ. .
AN EARACHE can be q very
painful condition and II neglected
it may turn out to be quite serious.
When the middle part Of the ear IL
infected, the condition Is known a.
otitis media. In general, there are
two kinds Of otitis media. One Is
known as suppurative and the
other as non-suppurative. In the
suppurative type, there is dis
charge from the ear. In the nom
suppurative, no such discharge
occurs. The non-suppurative type,
as a rule, is q short-lived disorder,
but it does continue for q long
period Of time in some cases.
The acute OF short-lived condi-
ton is often called acute tubal
catarrh. 1t is caused by an infec-
ton in the nose or upper part Of
the throat which leads to infection
Of the eustachian tube which con-
meets the middle part Of the ear
and throat
Blowing Nose
Blowing the nose Improperly,
and swimming are sometimes re-
sponsible for transfer Of infection
TO the eustachian tube. This infec-
ton causes the lining membrane
of the tube to swell and blocks the
passageway through it Then the
air in the middle ear Is absorbed,
leaving a vacuum. The ear drum
is then drawn in because Of the
vacuum and moderate pain may be
present There is also a feeling Of
fullness in the ear and head noises
or ringing in the ears occurs. Dir
riness may be present in some in
stances.
The treatment consists, first Of
all, in getting rid Of those condi-
tons which may lead to the dis
order such as enlarged adenoids.
sore throat, or improper blowing
of the nose. To relieve the pain
and discomfort Of the condition,
hot applications or the use Of
drops Of phenol and glycerin may
be helpful. There is a method of
blowing air through the eustach-
ian tubes which, when properly
carried out by the doctor, may lead
to complete relief Of the condition.
However, this must be done gently
and not at all If there is q great
deal Of swelling Of the eustachian
tubes.
Middle Ear Disturbance
The chronic middle-ear disturb
ance may result from recurrent
acute attacks or repeated sore
Threats. In this condition, the
opening of the eustachian tube is
likely to be swollen and blocked
and there is some interference with
the passage Of air in and out Of
the middle ear.
Ringing in the ears IL often the
only symptom mentioned by the
patient There may be some deaf
ness, particularly for low tones,
and occasionally there is also dig
Illness. The ear drum is often hard
ened and thickened.
Insofar as treatment Of chronic
middle-ear disturbance Is con-
eerned, once permanent changes
in the tissues have occurred, there
is not a great deal which can be
done. However, it is important to
clear up infections in the nose and
throat, and to keep further attacks

tube from developing.
