What Hogs Can Do

The Chesapeake & Ohio and the
Nickel Plate railroads do not really
think we could be happier if we were
hogs. Their occasional advertisements
merely suggest that if hog can ride
from New Jersey to California without
changing cars, your wife and child
ought to be able to do likewise.
The enforced change at Chicago, ST..
Louis or New Orleans, for passengers
on the most de luxe extra fare trains
no less than for lowest rate situps in
coaches, has long been a reproach to
the generally efficient American rail
road system. We're frank to admit
that we can't imagine why other roads
50 calmly ignore the C. & O.-Nickel
Plate plea for through coast-to-coast
servlce-or why we, the fare-paying
riders, permit them to do so. Only
stockholders in air lines should favor

Instead, the Journal adds, 3owles has
"sabotaged' the scheme by convincing
most business men there is no hope Of
higher ceilings. His opponents plan
to give him two more weeks-then
counter-attack.
1t will be interesting to watch the
outcome. AS matters now stand there
is good reason to think it may be full
filled.
Mr.. Bowles has chosen unwisely to
put more blame on business and in
dustry than properly belongs there, and
less upon labor than the unions deserve.
Instead of bringing a little harmony
into the nations economic discord, he
has merely struck a sour note which
crates on the nerves of both labor and
capital.
His attitude has closely resembled
what brought such disfavor upon Presi-
dent Roosevelt toward the end. Mr..
Roosevelt was never wrong. 1t was
always the other fellow. Inevitably
it will create the same feeling against
Mr.. Bowles as it did for Mr.. Roosevelt.

Indispensable

This proposal of a military alliance
advocated by Winston Churchill which
has disturbed so many good Americans
in all walks Of life really is not so pre-
posterous as its opponents declare. Ros-
coe Drummond of the Christian Science
Monitor Washington bureau puts it
aptly. What he says cannot be swal-
lowed hole but in the main his view
is sound and reliable.
We quote:
"The United States and Britain over
the years have been the worlds major
forces for political freedom and human
rights-witness the Philippines; wit
ness the evolution of the British colo
MES into independent, self-governing
dominions, with India soon to follow.
The cause of political freedom and hui
man rights the world over is going to
need a strong Britain and a strong
America as it never has before, not to
coerce any nation but to preserve the
freedoms for which they stand. In
this cause, Britain's strength is Amer
ica's strength, and Americas strength
is Britain's strength"
Perhaps Mr.. Drummond's reference
to British policy in India is ill-advised
He might have done better by citing
Canada, Australia and New Zealand
Be that as it may, the link between
Britain and the United States is clos,
enough to bind both closer in the fac

Heroic Experiment

One year of full feeding will be re-
quired to restore famine-ridden popu-
lations of war-ravaged zones. There
is no reason to doubt the statement,
which was made by DR.. Ancil Keys,
direct tor of Minnesota University's
physiology department before the Chi
cago Medical Society's Clinical Confer
ence last week. It was proved by
actual test in which thirty-six con-
scientious DIRECTORS offered themselves
as human guinea pigs.
In a way, they rank with the men
who submitted to being bitten by mos
quitos infected with yellow fever germs
in DR.. Walter Reeds great experiment
which all but eliminated this dread dis
ease that previously had cost the lives
of millions.
These DIRECTORS, who could not con-
scientiously bear arms in war, willingly
gave their time and offered their bodies
for food experimentation. They sub
sisted on starvation rations for six
months so that when life had reached
the ebb they might be restored to
health, if it were possible, in order to
determine both the requirement for
sustaining mortal nourishment and for
recuperation. The tests were conduct
ed under sponsorship of civic and
church organizations and the Office of
Scientific Research and Development
The volunteers, whose sacrifice may
not be as spectacular as the yellow
fever groups, though the results were
equally problematical, were fed low
protein diet averaging LOO calories
daily. During this time, Doctor Keys
revealed "the subjects lost up to 40
per cent Of their body weight and even
their hearts shrank in size.'
When the six months had ended
they were put on a diet high in protein
and averaging from 2,7O0 to $500
calories, "but to date have only half
way recovered from their self-imposed
ordeal The increase in proteins, said
Doctor Keys, appeared to have greater
effect on the volunteers even than
vitamin supplements, as all the volun-
teers had suffered from psychoneurotic
disturbances during their test period.
The results of this courageous ex-
pertinent seem to set the gauge for re-
lief in countries where starvation fol-
lowed defeat.

TOP o. THE MORNING
By The Oblique

Instead of making direct reply to
the United States request for an ex-
nlanation of Russia's failure to with
draw her troops from Iran within the
to an oblique answer by charging this
specified time, Moscow resorts by radio
country with breach of an agreement
reached last December by which Rus
STA, Britain and America were to seek
broader representation in the govern
ments of Balkan states, citing alleged
American activities in Bulgaria as
specific case in point.
The idea obviously is that if Russia
has not kept a pledge and can lodge
charge Of broken faith by another
power, the one offsets the other and
all's well with the world.
At the same time, and denying that
Russia's broadcast counterpoises the
United States note concerning Iran, It
is essential that this charge be dis
posed of promptly, either by acknowl-
edgment of its accuracy or complete
disproval of it, in the interest of this
nations integrity.

Senate About Ready 7oLayDown
Rules Governing u. S. Agencies

WASHINGTON, March g. B-
The Senate is about ready to lay
down 1913, Abe regulations on
what government agencies can do
and what the people can do If they
don't like 1t.
The legislation, introduced by
Senators McCarran ONev), would
be known as the administrative
Procedure Act and is designed to
standardize rules and regulations
which apply to activities of govern
ment agencies such IS the Office
Of Price Administration, the Civil
lian Production Administration and
others.
A somewhat similar measure was
passed in 1910 but vetoed by Presi-
dent Roosevelt on the ground that
enactment Of such a measure
should be withheld pending the re-
suit of studies on the question
which then were being made by a
special committee.
These are some of the regula-
tons which would be placed upon
government agencies:
l. Every agency shall publish in
the Federal register its rules and
mo person shall in any manner be
required to resort to organization
or procedure not so published"
2. General notice OF proposed rule
making shall be published together
with the time, place and nature of
the proceedings. And interested

Thomas Bludworth, an early VIII

Notes for this yarn were borrow

Well, since that appeared at

in to wonder If knew a great deal
about CORVALLIS stay in and
around Wilmington in those earlier
days.
To both of these inquiries I'm
afraid I had to answer something
like I was ignorant of the fact Corn
wallis had even been here. AS is
usual the case in such past mat
tiers, I was wrong.
OF course, CORVALLIS was here,
Somebody even wrote a bit Of dog
gerel about that fact. And again
in McCorkle's book I find the afore-
mentioned doggerel. This / here

request of the two aforementioned
telephone callers.
1t is:
CORVALLIS led a country dance

Much retrograde and much ad-
vance,
And all with General Greene, sir!
They rambled up and rambled
down,
Joined hands and off they ran,
sir!

And the Earl to Wilmington,
sir!"
Knowing even less OF such poesy
than l do of most other matters.
I'm not sure whether this doggerel
is good. 1t certainly has Tilt about
it, though.
Now this comes strictly under
the heading Of sticking my neck
completely out, but the word. has
come to me from folks who should
know about SUCH things because

In Defense Of the PIotitude
From the st. Louis Post-Dispatch.

From the st. Louis PoSt-Dispatch.
The platitude, that drab workhorse Of
everyday conversation, has been sneered
at so long that we are impelled to strike
blow in its defense. Dead tired and
wooden though it may be, it eases ten
sion and paves the way for eventual
friendships, both personal and interna-
tional.
Witness this passage between Foreign
Minister Molotov and Senator Connally:
Molotov: I was glad We could sit side
by side today and talk together and get
better acquainted. In that way we can
reach agreement.
Connally: I'm glad to get better &C,
quainted, too. The better acquainted we
get, the better friends we can be. :
Molotov (appalled at the dullness):
Yes, yes.
Connally: The United States wants to
be friends with Russia The United
States has been friends with Russia
for over hundred years.
Molotov: Russia wants to be friends
with the United States.
Connally intoxicated by it alb The
United States and Russia have got to
be friends or they will go to hell.
Molotov: We are adult people-we
know our responsibilities.
Connally: But we must know our re-
sponsibilities to the world. Net just to
ourselves.
Did ever two pumpkins, whether on
the prairies or the steppes, indulge more
triteness. Yet it served its purpose. The
conversation took place early last week
and by the weeks end more constructive
compromises had taken place than in
any previous week since Germany's sur
render.
The moral is, plain. U. N. needs more
and better platitudes.
