Lack of Political Sense
Leads Wallace to Oblivion
By BAUKHAGE
Ne1ps ANALYST and Commentator.

But he is willing to adopt strange
methods to achieve this. (Remem-
Der the little pigs.)
In making clear to his friends that
it was his ambition to be secretary
Of commerce he convinced them of
his belief in five propositions. They
were that:
l. He believes the capitalistic
system cannot survive another
war.
2. He believes the capitalistic
system cannot survive another
financial depression such as we
went through in the early sos.
3. He is convinced that the
country is headed for another
such depression.
4. He believes that this ca
tastrophe can be avoided II GER
tain simple measures are taken.
S. He believes that this end
the perpetuation Of free enter
prise - justifies almost any
means.
AS soon as Wallace became Sec
rotary of commerce he attempted to
reorganize the department along
lines which had made the depart
ment of agriculture so successful in
solar as cooperation between gov
eminent and farmers is concerned.
One of the first steps was to try to
establish system of field agents"
(similar to agriculture's county
agents). Good men were hard to
find; it takes time to build such a
system. The personnel recruited
under such conditions and within so
short time would be bound to in
clude many incompetents and thus
open the system to immediate at
tack by an unfriendly congress. New
ertheless, Wallace pushed the idea
as far as he could during his tenure
of office. This, his critics say,
showed his inability to perform in
field with which he was unfamiliar,
showed his lack of political sense"
Cor, if you will, his failure to grasp
the complexities of inter-personal
relations).
Like many other men who have
been thrust into high government Of
fees without sufficient political ex-
perience, he attempted to absorb
that experience vicariously. The
very fact that he lacked an under
standing of political and personal
relations caused him to accept adj
visors and counsellors who frequent
ly led him astray. Perhaps if he
had been less advised his conduct
would have been less ill-advised.

have been brushed aside like the
worthless things they were.
Not half enough has been said of
the golden autumn beauty of the
Sos. Any younger woman contem-
plating them shudders away with
horror. And too many women,
reaching them, accept that horror
as true indication of what they
mean and help to preserve the de-
fusion that the Sos are a lonely,
superfluous time, when one doesn't
belong - and isn't wanted, any
where.
Actually the most useful women
in the world are those between as
and IS, and any woman who doesn't
discover it when she reaches the

Nations Keep Jealous
Eye on Antorctico

Adm. Richard Byrd is about to
take off again for Antarctica with
horde of anxious nations worried
to death lest he run away with the
five million square miles of ice
capped rock which covers the south
polar regions as the dew covers
Dixie (but differently.
The foreign claims are legitimate
enough, for daring explorers have
been nibbling at that price of FROST
bitten plateau digger than Europe)
ever since John Briscoe actually dis
covered what was given the name of
Enderby land in the early nineteenth
century. Many others followed, but
few took the keen interest in the
Antarctic waste that Admiral Byrd
did, although he didn't turn in that
direction until after he had flown
over the North Pole.
Which reminds me of dull Sun
day, May 9, 1926 I was keeping
watch in the Washington office of a
feature syndicate which had the
rights to Byrd's adventures. We
knew he was going to hop off for
VIZ poiS IL Jill opllLDeIBeH WITH
Floyd Bennett soon, but we didn't
know when.
Messenger boys had a habit of
dropping unimportant messages on
the particular desk which I occupied
and hardly glanced up when one,
still soggy, was tossed within my
reach. I finished the last episode
of the comic strip I was studying
and opened the envelope. It con-
tanned one word, "polaris."
That was the code word that
meant that Byrd had flown over the
North Pole and was back alive.
On November 20, three years lat
er, he flew over the South Pole. The
flight was only small part of ex-
tended explorations made on two
separate expeditions.
Now Byrd is off again, with jeal-
Gus competitors watching him with
jealous concern. His expedition
probably will be met with mixed
emotions by the penguins who are
the only human-looking inhabitants
of Antarctica. Byrd's first visit was
novelty to those decorous birds
who never go out except in formal
evening attire but imagine homo
sapiens has become to them Just an
other sap who has to 60 in when

Peroxide Keeps Milk

A new and simple chemical meth
cd of sterilizing milk has been de-
veloped in Italy, the American
Chemical society reports.
The method involves adding two
cubic centimeters of a 80 per cent
solution of hydrogen peroxide to
about a quart of milk and then
stirring it. It is said that the treat
ed milk has more pleasant taste
than the pasteurized product. The
treatment can be made at ordinary
temperatures and is generally effec-
tive for about three days.

pendence upon a daughter, who
is burdened with two stepchil-
dren and a new baby, and a SON.
in-law who frankly doesn't like
me. An old admirer, 70, with
some property, wants to marry
me. Would you think a woman
of so crazy to marry again?
I have been widowed three
years."
This is part of the rather stark let
ter Of Wenda White, who lives in
Boston. I certainly would advise
any woman Of so or even 60 to
marry an old admirer if she wants
to, but I'm not sure I'd advise
Wenda that way. When she says
that she is superfluous and fitted
for no special work, she adds un-
consciously that she is stupid, and
a stupid woman is not apt to make
a good wife in middle-age. Some
times, stupid little beauties in their
teens make success of it, be-
cause they learn, and they are cute
while learning. But Wenda sounds
rather grim. I doubt if she could
learn now to be happy wife.
Note what Wenda tells me in
these few phrases. In her three
years of widowhood and in the years
before it, she never has found any
useful work. Not nurses aide work,
not library or kindergarten or tea
room work, nothing that would keep
her busy and insure her independ-
ence. For the past six years, Amer
lea has been crying aloud for wom-
en- workers, has been overpaying
them, favoring them - but not
Wenda.
Her only child has been heavily
burdened with young wifehood, the
premature care of babies not her
own, the expense and responsible
ity of motherhood, but Wenda sure
ly wasn't much use. All she admits
she did was antagonize her daugh-
ter's husband. Perhaps she didn't
want Violet to marry a man who
already had two children, perhaps
she felt that Violet's own mother
hood took place too promptly. What
ever it was, instead of making
herself adored by this young couple
and indispensable to them, Wenda
has only made herself disagree
able, and closed that door too.
Wenda Will Fail Again.
Now she proposes to take her
various failures, discontents, inefi-
ciencies into still another sphere.
Heaven help her old admirer if he
gets her! A smarter old man
would find woman who had a good
job and liked it, whose family idol
lied her and shrieked aloud at the
thought of anyone walking away
with Nom.
A very young wife may have her
moods, her limitations, her pretty
little faults. But when a woman has
lived so years without learning the
secret of usefulness, service, affec-
ton, then she never is going to be
anything to anyone, daughter, hus-
band or friend.
But so can be a glorious age. I
don't mean shadowy, resigned,
wistful time of looking on at life.
I mean a time for splendid and USE
full living. When woman's hectic
early days are over, her children
grown, herself freed for all the in
terests and activities for which she
has never had time, she may well
enter into the pleasantest years of
her whole life. There is some work
that a well-developed and expert.
enced woman ought to be interest
ed in by that time, something she
is eager to do. Her health will be
good if she has learned how to care
for herself, and a hundred of the
younger desires and dreams will

people who aren't subscribers to the
New Republic.
I refer to the name Henry Agar
Wallace.
I have talked with a great many
men who knew Wallace we'll. Most
of them who liked him still like him.
But many who supported him in the
past follow him no longer.
One of them said to me:
Henry Wallace has been drowned
at last in a sea of ideas. He has
gone down for the third time and
there is nobody with lifeline ham
dy."
I think of two other men, one an
experienced government official, a
trained politician; another an ardent
New Dealer who happens to be
equipped with mathematical mind
sharp as steel trap-each of these
men followed Henry Wallace long
way. But each man at one point
in his career suddenly stopped
aghast at one of Wallace's self-cre-
ated misadventures, shrugged his
shoulders and regretfully turned
away.
One of the first criticisms you hear
from Wallace's political friends is
that he has no political sense.
AS head of the department of ag-
riculture, Wallace, according to most
disinterested observers, was a sue
cess as a policy-maker and an ad-
ministrator. Don't bring up the
little pigs-he did that against every
one of his natural predilections.)
AS secretary Of commerce he was
dismal failure.
Wallace did understand agricul-
ture, agriculturists (farmers) and
agronomy. He believed that he had
(and has) the correct formula
for solving the economic (business)
ills of the country. But what he
didn't realize was that he was handi-
capped by what is incorrectly called
an "inferiority complex" when it
comes to dealing with human be-
ings who made the wheels of bust
ness 60 round. He had strange
and deep suspicion of the business
world. Perhaps that wasn't so
strange for it reflects the natural
attitude of the farmer toward the
"city slicker." Perhaps it was an
other phase of that "shyness" which
characterized Wallace.
Let's look at this suspicion" bust
ness:
On one of several occasions, Wal
lace as secretary of commerce adj
dressed prominent group of con-
sentative business men. His COL
leagues watched the event with con-
siderable trepidation. They knew the
group was unsympathetic to Wal
lace and that Wallace knew it. How
ever, it provided an opportunity to
create a friendly atmosphere, if
nothing more. Wallace made swell
speech. His colleagues were agree
ably surprised. His audience was
almost capitivated. In fact, as the
speech went on, one after another
of the listeners showed that Wal
lace's views were well received
were anything but inimical to bust
ness. Many of the ideas he ad-
vanced were accepted as sound,
sane and sensible. So far-so good.
Wallace reached the end of his pre-
pared script and then, suddenly
overcome with this strange defen-
sive complex, this Suspicion" said
something to this effect: Tonight
I have probably wasted your time
and mine, for l realize that you
couldn't possibly agree with me nor
I with you" The whole effect was
| ruined.

Since ulcer patients cannot toll
crate the ordinary protein foods,
DR.. Ninci tried treatment with a
special food rich in prcdigest.d
protein, that is, protein which had
been acted on by digestive SUBJ
stances. Thus the protein could be
absorbed directly and the ulcer
atcd stomach spared its usual task
OF preparing the protein for the
body's use.
The diet contained also. sugar,
milk, cream, cereal, and soft.
boiled eggs, in addition to the pre-
digcsted protein food. Vitamin
preparations were given scpar-
atcly. No other medication was
employed, but the patient was kept
at almost complete rest in bed.
with this treatment. it was
found that pain relief was quickly
produced. The patients nutrition
was rapidly improved and he felt
better. Practically all the patients
showed gain in weight. After
about three weeks of treatment.
the symptoms disappeared COM
pletcly and X-rays showed that
the ulcer had healed.
A number of the patients had

feeding was employed prior to on.

SOMETHING new has been

patients, its results are far su-

treatment.
Painful. Disorder
Now, stomach ulcer is a very
painful disorder. Pain Usually
comes on one to three hours after
meals and is sometimes accom-
panied by sickness to the stomach
and vomiting. 1t is made worse by
the taking of protein-rich foods,
such as meat, and is relieved BY
the taking Of alkaline substances.
