Long, long ago in now forgotten
land there lived a mighty monarch.
A ruler welding great power, his
fame had spread across the world,
though, of course, the world was
not so far across in those days.
Powerful as he was, however, he
did have his troubles and many q
sleepless night he spent, pondering
affairs of state, dancing girls In his
harem, and other vital matters. So
one day he summoned his court
philosopher.
Philosopher" he said, you have
been bandying about the story that
you are by far the wisest man in
this land and even your king cannot
do sums alongside you or engage
more than a tenth of your mind in
philosophical discussion. Rather
than punish you for this loose talk,
I have let you continue, since I
half suspect you are right. Now,
however, I will give you an oppor-
tunity to prove it.
It want you to provide for me
some touchstone, some talisman,
some charm-I care not what 1t is
which will stand me in good stead
(kings talked that way in those
days. in good times and in bad. I
must have something universal, from
which I always can take comfort.
Bring it to me on Tuesday, one week
from today, or you will be, in addi-
ton to the wisest man in the land,
the deadest."
The philosopher repaired to his

even who said 1t was more beautiful
than the Tai Mahal, but they could
not be certain, for the Tai Mahal
had not been built and was known
only by descriptions of soothsayers
who had seen it in their crystal
balls. Six days the philosopher re-
manned in his ivory tower, sending
across the street to the White Tower
for a sandwich on those rare occa-
sions when he grew hungry. Not
until the morning OF the seventh
day did he emerge. Then, his ivory
tower work completed, he stepped
q few doors down the road to the
shop of the court silversmith. Not
until late in the afternoon was he
seen again, coming out to start for
the palace, not at a dead run as
might have been expected, but
expected, but walking slowly, for he
was a wise man and it was very
hot afternoon.
The king, while not the wisest
man in his land, was not the dumb
est, either, so he Immediately recog-

agreed to a new all-city election.
OF course, there is propaganda
element involved in proceeding with
the limited election. That is the
opportunity for Berlin's Western
population to repudiate again-and
emphatically-the actions of the
Soviet government in blockading
Berlin.
Blockaded Western Berlin already
has expressed itself in numerous
ways along this line. and it is
difficult to see how the advantages
to be gained from the election will
outweigh the certain disadvantage
of providing legal recognition for
the splitting of Berlin and of hand
ing the Russians more propaganda
ammunition.
The election tomorrow will pit
a strictly Western sector government
Legally elected, to be sure-agaihst
a hand picked Russian sponsored
Eastern sector government. There
can, of course, be no cooperation
between the two, and If any degree
of unity is ever restored to Berlin,
1t will have to be in the resumption
of power control of the city,
with still another city-wide govern
ment to be elected.

Eminent Doctors Diagnosis of Ewing's
Political Itch Questioned

our own and various foreign govern
ments. 1t is not worthy of him as
executive officer of the Blue Cross
Blue Shield medical and hospital
prepayment plans, voluntary opera
tions for which there is much good
to be said. On just what symptoms
he bases his diagnosis that Oscar
Ewing has the political itch he
doesn't say, nor does he say that he
has actually examined the patient.
Mr.. Ewing was born in Green's
burg, Ind, which is not very far
from West College Corner, Ind, the
tiny town that gave DR.. Hawley to
the world. He chose the law for a
career and made a success of it.,
becoming in time partner of the
late Chief Justice Hughes and, on
the latter's retirement, a partner of
his son. Charles Evans Hughes, jr.
While active in Democratic politics,
he has scarcely been considered a
radical, in the light of his pro-
fessional background. And only an
urge for public service could have
caused him to accept his present
post. which consists chiefly of hard
work.
The problem Of medical care has
become a national problem and
serious one DR.. Hawley himself
has sought earnestly for a solution.
But, in that same st. Louis speech,
he said, 1.-The sorry fact is that not
yet are the voluntary plans doing
a proper job and the principal
reason for their failure is to be
found in the attitude of organized
medicine to them"
BY organized medicine DR.. Hawley
doubtless had in mind the American
Medical Association and its lobby
propaganda offshoot, the National
Physicians Committee, which, sup.
ported largely by commercial drug
concerns, reported expenditures of
$345, 900 last year and $241 900 for
the first half of this year. The

leveled at the Missouri farm boy
storekeeper now President. So the
target is to be Oscar r. Ewing, Fed
eral Security Administrator. DR..
Paul r. Hawley revealed this few
days ago at a meeting Of medical
men in st. Louis. OF Mr.. Ewing, ne
said:
Sensing that the cost of medical
care is a matter of dissatisfaction
among a majority Of our people, ne
has seized upon this discomfort as
the issue upon which he would

is not hard for him to be persuaded
that what he considers best for his
political future is also best for the
people"
This Is hardly worthy OF Dr..

profession, recently retired as medi-
cal director of the Veteran Bureau

almost stupid, depriving the Western
Powers of the superior legal position
which they enjoy by virtue of the
fact that the government elected by
the entire city in 1916 is functioning
in their sectors. It is felt that the
Allies are sacrificing influence and
prestige with the Eastern Berliners
by pursuing their present course.
The Russians are adept at distort-
ing minor facts into major propa-
ganda. They can take the fact
that tomorrow's election will in
stall a strictly Western Berlin gov
ernment and make it appear that we
have disregarded the rights and in
terests of the Eastern Berliners,
despite the fact that it was Soviet
maneuvering itself which forced the
all-Berlin government to flee from
the city hall in the Soviet sector
That, of course, Is not the case
But we cannot permit our confidence
in the correctness and righteous
ness of our actions to blind us to
the potentialities inherent In that
course for enhancement of the So
Wet propaganda campaign.
Could Have Called It OF.
There is considerable point in
asking whether 1t would not have
been better propaganda from our
standpoint to call off the election
in the Western sectors at the same
time that the Russians forbade it
in their sector, making the Germans
in all sectors of Berlin understand
that since the Russians had made
it impossible for all of Berlin to
elect a new government, we would
not recognize the city's cleavage by
holding an election only for the
Western sectors. The existing city
government, we could have con-
tended, was the closest approach to
an all-Berlin government POSSIBLE
at this time. It would, therefore,
remain in Office as now constituted
