Japanese Medics Always Come Up
With Unworkable or Known Cure

They also found that the me-
thod:
Was not new.
Would not increase the height Of
a normal Japanese.
Was a clumsy, inefficient way OF
doing what Americans do with a
simple hormone injection.
The Americans found that the
Japanese, insulated from western
medical thought and progress for
so long that they are 10 to 20 years
behind, had "re-discovered" the old
monkey-gland treatment.
I'VE have known for years that
we can make giants or dwarfs by
controlling the pituitary gland, "
Gen. Sans said.
But for a normal person, the
treatment is of little value"

nese, they say, jump to conclusions

q new miracle cure
Dutifully Gen. Douglas MacAr-

So far the medical men haven't
found a single one that would work

There have been claims Of cures
for badness and for cancer, and
one man, who is not a medical
man and who Is not approved by

nounced one day that If by any

could put it back on with a splint,
a prayer and a ritual of shaking
your hand in the aid.
The growth claim came from re-
putable Kyushu University, whose
medics announced that they could
increase the height of Japanese,
who are fairly sensitive about the
fact that they are shorter than
most people.

ing the glands of oxen into the
thighs OF their patients, and that
they were quite successful in in
creasing the height of their pa
tients through this method.

A DEBT TO PROFIT
By GEORGE S. BENSON
President q HosdIng College
Secrecy. AEkonsas

AMERICA has become rich and
powerful, with high wages and the
best living conditions in the world,
because of good profits. When I
say America, mean all of America
All the people in this great country
owe much to this system that allows
profits to be made and used. When
we appreciate that fact, It Is possible
TO see the dangers that exist when
we do things that limit profits or
keep them down.
For example, today initiation has
reduced the buying power Of pro-
fits by about 20 per cent from what
hey we're few years ago On top
of this. profit has been reduced in
many Industries. Many businesses
made smaller profits In 1947 than
in 1916. Quite a few are not ma
king enough profit to replace worn
out tools and machinery. Others
are borrowing heavily. Those that
borrow do so because they find
they have to borrow
Question Of Risk
AN INDUSTRIAL enterprise can
only borrow, however. on the basis
of anticipated profits: profits to
come" If these expected profits
do not come, then the future Of
that business is jeopardized. NO
body wants to lend it any more
money then. It's a poor risk. So
what happens? The machinery
wears out. Wages hit rock-bottom
Workers drop out, top executives
AXE jobs in better companies. Pre-
sently, the business Is bankrupt.
Every company that has to go
broke for lack of profits puts a
blight upon the record that belongs
to America. Yet right here in-Am-
erica we are today jeopardizing flu
OuiC JUS dAAo lutukC RkOopCAAIy Al
the nation by bringing profits down
too low.
For example. the railroads cam
not possibly replace their old eq-
uipment by depending upon their
profits. New equipment like
streamlined trains, latest model
locomotives, lots of heavy equip
ment and modernization-all these
things call for money. Profits are
MT enough. Therefore, railroads
must borrow. But suppose they do
not make enough profits to repay
the loan? These things keep the
railroads in constant danger.
Capital Needed
THE NEED for investment and
for new capital is so great that
many industries right now are in
vesting more than their total pro-
fits. OF course, they are expect
ing present conditions to be tenn
porary. They make huge invest
ments, without regard for present
profits, only because they expect
The Northwest times. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1947-1955, 1948-09-18

conditions to improve and better
conditions to, come in later. Ac-
tuaily, this simply means that
profits in le47 (Which look tre-
mendous in figures) were much
too small.
President Truman In his report
on the state Of the nation, said
hat $4,000. 600 900 should be in
vested in business expansion over
the next few years. This would be
fine. However, the fact remains
that money for investment comes
only as a result Of work and saw
iLgs. Unless we can get more pro-
fits than are now customary, we
shall still lack for investments.
With present profits, Mr.. Truman's
figure cannot be reached.
Why, then, do we need invest
mentP For exactly the same rea-
sons that we need profits. In or
der to make sure there will be
enough jobs at good wages. Lack
of investments and lack Of profits
is an invitation to unemployment
and hard times. Let's not be de-
ceived by those who would arouse
us against profits. They would like
to wreck our profit" system, which
has given us the highest wages and
best living conditions that men
ever knew.
