Il. II has only served 10 make Il
worse. Furthermore, nothing can
be done to alleviate II without In.
ternational conference. consulta-
tion discussion aud cooperation.
Therefore Breton Woods was a
step in the right direction
The fault OF Breton Woods lay
in it's rush and hurry. The atti-
tude there seemed TO be that a
plan had TO be got ready even u
il was a poor plan. And Lord
Keynes had ready a plan which
protected England against the
world and made the United States
a pawn in the hands OF its debtors.
There was apparently a desire TO
get something going before the
European war was over and what
was produced is so full OF contra
.diction that no two experts seem
TO be able 10 agree on what 1t
means
For instance the capital OF the
stabilization fund of SS.SO0,000, 900
is built up by quotas the American
share being s2.75O000OOO: the
British Sl3O0.0O0.uO0; Paraguay.
S5.000,0O0 and so on; yet the Unfit
ed States has only one vote out of
A; while the British will have six
votes on the Board OF Governors.
This is too serious matter to
leave at Breton Woods; II should
be considered and revised at San
francisco.

United States and Great Britain
are putting pressure on Russia to-

Washington officials were frank

British Foreign Minister Anth.

This is regarded in Washington
as a warning TO Stain that unless
the Polish stalemate is broken be-
fore that time, Churchill will put
all the cards on the table in a way
that will be mbarrassing to the
Soviet government.
Meantime, it was learned that q
basic misunderstanding of the
Yalta agreement on Poland has
arisen to obstruct the negotions in
Moscow.

agreed that the provisional gov

Your Health
Treatments For
Colds Still Not
Satisfactory
Br Il. N. BrNpEsEN. NJ. D

Bv II. n. BuNDESEN. NJ. d.
A GREAT deal OF discussion
has recently arisen because OF the
question as to whether or not vac
cines are useful in the treatment
Of colds. The general concensus at
present would seem to be that not
a great deal is TO be gained in most
instances by the widespread use OF
such preparations. although they
may be found Of value in certain
persons. In general, measures for
preventing and treating colds have
not been successful. The protection
against colds which develops in the
body during an attack does not last
very long.
According to Doctor Anderson
e. Hiding Of Duluth, Minnesota,
immunity against colds cannot be
brought about by vsccines, nor is
there any protection attained by
spraying a vaccine into the nose
and throat. The use OF Vitsmin
products. cold bath and exercise is
thought by many to be equally in
effective. The. administration Of
sulfonamide drug has been sug-
eested as a method of prevention,
but because Of the danger Of re-
actions from these preparations,
their widespread use in the pre-
vention of colds would hardly sp-
pear advisable. They may help in
the prevention Of complications. In
places where large groups OF peo-
pie get together, such as n hos
pital or similar institution, dlsin-
lection of the air with antiseptic
chemicals may be effective in pre-
venting the spread OF colds
In the treatment of colds. the
main efforts are directed toward
relieving the symptoms. Drugs
such as codeine and papaverlre
may be Of help in shortening an
attack if given early enough.
These preparations must, OF
course, be given by a physician.
A person with a cold may well
be ISOLATED, not only for the protec-
tion of those around him, but also
for his own protection, so that
germs from other persons may not
be transmitted to him. The breath
ing in Of steam often will relieve
the congestion in the nose and
throat. A drug such as ephedrlne
in salt solution may be dropped
into the nose, and this also may
AID in opening the passageway.
The sulfonamde drugs have
come into widespread use in the
treatment of colds. Their chief
value is in the prevention CT COM
phcatlons such as ear infections,
severe sore throat, or pneumonia.
When any of these conditions
threaten, the physician will pre-
scribe the proper sulfonamide drug
in the right dose.
OF course, a patient with a cold
will 90 best If he remains at rest
