Washington. — High army and
navy officials are completely muz
zled on the neutrality issue as far
as any public utterance fs con
cerned, and one may be sure that,
remembering the experience of
Gen. Johnson Hagood, none of them
are going to prove embarrassing
to the administration even if sum
moned before congressional com
mittees, but—they think nothing of
it.
This writer has asked any num
ber of high ranking army and navy
officers the very simple question:
"Is the senate cash and carry neu
trality plan, or the house plan giv
ing the President wider discretion,
more likely to keep this nation out
of a World war?"
Similarity of the answers would
almost convince a listener that
there had been a solemn military
conclave, at which a formal doc
trine with respect to this subject
had been approved. For the answer
almost invariably runs something
like this:
"Neither plan will keep this coun
try out of war. Both plans are
vicious in many respects. The sen
ate plan forces every far-sighted
foreign nation to plan to get its
war supplies from some other na
tion, unless it is sure it has plenty
of shipping to fetch them from this
country, and even then there is the
incentive to build up supplies else
where. This of course tends to de
atroy our export trade, and creates
an additional artificial encourage
ment to other nations to build up
their own merchant marines, as
they know they cannot make use of
ships flying the American flag.
"The house plan is highly danger
ous because it grants the President
virtually power to discriminate be
tween belligerents. To discriminate,
of course, is to take sides, and
right away this country is, to that
limited extent, on one side or the
other.
No Sure Way to Peace
"There is no sure way of main
taining peace, and never will be
in this world. The nearest approach
to it is a very adequate army and
navy, the larger and more dan
gerous to any possible antagonist
the better. No nation is running
around picking quarrels with a na
tion whose army and navy it under
stands to be definitely superior to
its own.
"Any other precaution is Just
practical and, if it works at all,
is far more likely to work toward
getting the United States into war
then keeping it out.”
Incidentally, of course, most
irtny and navy men do not like
the idea of discouraging munitions
exports, even. They like the British
system of encouraging munitions
manufacturers, with the thought
that when war does come the coun
try gets off to a flying start, as con
trasted with the terrific lag inevita
ble if there is only govern
ment manufacture of munitions.
They insist that the government will
hever spend enough money, in
peace time, to have the facilities
ready to turn out sufficient supplies
when war comes.
Only the incentive of private
profit, they assert provides that sort
of capacity. Moreover, they do not
like to see the munition-making
business transferred to some other
country, possibly one which some
day will be at war with the United
States.
Senator Bennett C. Clark of Mis
souri has not had much success
so far in working out his solution
for this problem. He would have the
government manufacture—or buy—
and keep in stock sufficient jigs and
dies and tools so that on the out
break of war all sorts of factories
and machine shops could be trans
formed into armament plants.
Peace Conference
Diplomatic denials are always to
be taken with a grain, in fact a
pinch, of salt. This goes for the
recent denial of Secretary of State
Cordell Hull with respect to bettea
prospects of a peace conference.
Of course all that Mr. Hull denied
was that this was the errand of
Norman H. Davis in London, and
In this he was, at least technically,
correct.
Regardless of any statements
made hitherto or to be made in the
future, however, President Roose
velt is thinking a great deal about
an international conference. He has
been for a long time. No one in the
diplomatic corps here is going to
embarrass Mr. Hull or the Presi
dent by rushing into print about it,
no matter what the President and
his Secretary of State may say.
but virtually every important em
bassy and legation in Washington
knows all about the highly unoffi
cial inquiries that the President has
caused to be made with respect
to an international conference,
which will have two major objec
tives.
One of these is the maintenance
of peace. The second is some more
permanent and dependable stabiliz
ation of the dollar with the pound
and the franc and other national
monetary units. There is a very
excellent working arrangement
right now so far as dollar, pound
and franc are concerned—in the tri
partite agreement. But that is just
a gentlemen’s agreement. It is not
only unsanctioned so far as the
parliamentary bodies of Britain,
France and the United States are
concerned, but it is susceptible of
being cancelled on a few hours’ no
tice at any time.
Mr. Roosevelt has been thinking
seriously of such an international
conference for a long time. It will
be recalled that he sent up a trial
balloon last summer, during the
campaign, through the New York
Times. It was never officially con
firmed but no State department
official or diplomat in Washington
has ever doubted that it was in
spired direct from the White House.
Wait on Spanish War
At the moment, the situation is
waiting on the Spanish war. Present
inquiries are as to whether the gov
ernments concerned will agree to
such a conference when and if the
Spanish conflagration stops shooting
sparks all around the various Eu
ropean powder dumps.
It is likely to come very soon,
now, for though there is not much
sign of peace in Spain there is a
growing belief that the danger in
volved of its spreading to other na
tions is growing appreciably less
with every passing day. Certain
dangerous figures have learned that
troops and weapons they thought
irresistible are not truly so. The
same figures have learned that their
possible enemies in a war are more
i .ngerous than they had thought.
Nor does this apply solely to either
side. It applies to both. All of which
has put certain European govern
ments in a much more receptive
mood to a peace plan than they
were when Mr. Roosevelt sent up
his trial balloon last summer.
Actually, also, there is very real
need in the opinion of the Roose
velt administration, and also in the
view of several European govern
ments, for currency stabilization.
The New Deal is concerned about
runaway price rises. It would like
very much to accomplish Just the
opposite of what it was trying to do
in 1933 and 1934. It would like to
make the dollar more valuable in
stead of less. As evidence of this,
it has even considered marking
down slightly the price of gold—in
dollars. Treasury department op
position has prevented this.
Eggs for Russia
There would seem to be quite an
opening for chicken farms in Rus
sia, particularly in the vicinity of
Moscow. Ambassador Joseph E.
Davies has discovered that the egg
supply of every foreign embassy
and legation in the capital of the
U. S. S. R. is supplied by diplomatic
couriers, who bring the eggs 800
miles from Warsaw, Poland. This
doesn’t look so far on the map, but
it is only 787 miles from Washing
ton to Chicago, only 733 miles from
Chicago to Atlanta, and only 840
miles from Indianapolis to Charles
ton, South Carolina!
It might be borne in mind, in as
similating this rather curious—
to American farmers—lack of egg
production in the vicinity of Mos
cow, that transportation facilities in
the United \ States, both railroads
and highways, are immeasurably
superior to those in Russia, so that
actually the difficulty and time in
volved in transporting those eggs is
much greater than for comparable
distances in the United States. And
this entirely aside from the fact
that the eggs cannot be shipped in
ordinary fashion, but must be car
ried across the frontier, front about
the center of Poland to about the
center of European Russia, by a
diplomat courier exempt for ex
amination, from hold-up and from
tariff duties.
Incidentally the American embas
sy Is the only one in the Russian
capital that is not supplied with
certain luxuries, and, from the
American standpoint, necessities,
b; couriers. Young attaches at the
United States embassy keep writing
their friends and relatives to send
them every sort of thing, from
canned tomatoes to tooth paste,
from insect powder to cold cream,
which, for various reasons probably
entirely in keeping with the scheme
of things in Russia, are not easily
obtainable by purchase there, and
virtually unthinkable, therefore, for
the ordinary inhabitant.
Russia No Rival
All of which, being discussed at
a recent Washington dinner where
most of the guests were State de
partment officials and their wives,
with a slight sprinkling from Capitol
Hill, brought forth the declaration
of one senator, who had visited Rus
sia. that he thought the idea that
Russia would be a competitor of
the United States within a few years
ridiculous.
He made the statement after con
siderable wonder was expressed
that the Russian peasants, living
in such poverty, did not seize upon
such an obvious market for eggs as
the various embassies and lega
tions of Moscow. True, the market
would be small, comparatively, but
it would be enough for quite a few
farmers with farms close to the
Soviet capital to do very well in
deed.
"It wouldn’t occur to the Russian
farmers that any one would want
really fresh eggs,” broke in another
senator. "Several of us were over
there a few years back. We had
plenty of food, but we noticed they
like eggs just a bit 'high.’ We
couldn't eat them."

California Condors.
SANTA MONICA, CALIF.—
Local naturalists are all
agog over the discovery
that the California condor is
coming back in numbers to
his former haunts just up
country from here. In fact,
they are going out of one vio
lent gog right into another.
Because the condor, the
mightiest winged creature in
all North America, was sup
posed to be practically ex
tinct, along with such van
ished species of native wild
life as the great auk, the pas
senger pigeon and the light
ning rod agent.
So now we have ssrt up a new
mark for envious Florida to shoot
at. For while they .
may nave croupiers
at Bradley’s in
Palm Beach, with
eyes as keen and
bleak as the con
dor’s are, and real
estate dealers in
Miami as greedy as
he is, our frustrated
rivals will be put to
it to dig up a bird
with a wing spread
of from nine to elev

Communism’s Giant Foe.
HARDLY a day passes but we
read in the paper of an ac
count of individual heroism, of sac
rifice, of devotion to duty—some
thing which renews our faith in hu
man beings and makes us realize
that scattered through the world are
splendid souls of whom we never
heard before and probably shall
never hear again. When the emer
gency chme he rose to it—and that's
enough.
But because, in the last few
months, we’ve learned to expect it
of him, I’m thinking many of us
fail to appreciate a recurrent act of
gallant service by one venerable,
enfeebled man whose name is fa
miliar to all Christendom. From
time to time, triumphing by sheer
will power, by sheer singleness of
purpose above his own suffering,
Pope Pius XI, speaking frqm what
soon must be his deathbed, sends
forth a clarion call for a united
front against the growing menace
of communism.

Waning Merchant Marines.
AFTER we’ve spent billions in
government subsidies trying to
build up a proper merchant fleet
of our own, it’s just a trifle discon
certing to read that, among the six
nations leading in maritime ship
ping, the United States still ranks
third in gross tonnage, fifth in ships
having a speed of twelve knots or
better, and last in ships built within
the last ten years.
But, although Los Angeles is a
great port, we have no time right
now to pester about a comparatively
trivial thing such as the threatened
vanishment of the American flag
from the seven seas—not while
we’re still so uncertain about who
will have the leading parts in ‘‘Gone
With the Wind.” To date, nearly
every lady in the movie colony has
been suggested for Scarlett O’Hara
except Mae West and Jane Withers,
and as for Rhett Butler—well, it
may yet be necessary to cast that
role as a whole minstrel first part,
with an interlocutor and six end
men.

Italians in Spain.
IT MUST be slightly annoying to
those Italian soldiers who were
flung headlong upon Spain to fight
in a war in which they had no per
sonal interest, when, through mis
take, they are mown down in hun
dreds by their own troops, and then
the bewildered remnants And them
selves in the hands of the oppos
ing government forces, who have a
reputation for sometimes being a
trifle with prisoners whom they
capture.
Still, it must be a great com
fort to the confused captives—and
to the relatives of the fallen back
home as well—to have assurance
from Mussolini that they are win
ning the way for fascist doctrines.
Until they heard that cheering mes
sage, those battered survivors prob
ably thought that they had been
licked.

The Height of Gall.
AS J. CAESAR remarked at the
time, all Gaul was once divid
ed In three parts, but it is obvious
that subsequently there was a com
plete re-consolidation.
When France, already in default
to us on one little four-billion debt,
starts scheming to peddle her new
est issue of government securities
over here, that must indeed be re
garded as the height of gallishness
or Gaulishness—spell it either way,
reader, it’ll come out the same.
Moreover, to evade the Johnson act,
she would have American investors
send the money to Paris and buy
these French bonds there. This sort
of smacks of inviting Br'r Rabbit
to come into camp to be massacred,
instead of hunting him down with

Rainy Season Bridge in Guatemala City.
Prepared hy National Geographic Society,
:Washington, D. C.—WNU Service.
HEN you enter Guatemala
City, you are in the most
populous place in all Cen
tral America. With a pop
ulation of 120,000, including about
6,000 foreigners, Guatemala City is
a thriving metropolis of well-paved
streets, department stores, luxury
shops, cafes, country clubs, busy
factories, garages, and modern ho
tels. Its motion picture theaters,
showing mostly American "talkies”
with Spanish subtitles, advertise
with big electric signs overhanging
the streets in Broadway style.
At the capital's covered central
market, the largest in the country,
the array of foodstuffs, textiles,
utensils, furniture, and other com
modities is endless. Its long aisles,
and the streets adjoining the mar
ket building and cathedral, are al
ways jammed with a noisy, restless
throng of merchants and buyers.
And the odors, strange, spicy and
heavy! The fresh scents of vege
tables and exotic flowers mingle
with the greasy smell of cooking
food, the aroma of roasted coffee,
and the balmy fragrance of copal
incense.
Those with weak stomachs may
not like the appearance or odor of
freshly slaughtered meat. Nor will
they find appetizing the leached
corn mash for tortillas; or arma
dillos roasted in their shells; or
crude brown sugar pressed into
dirty blocks and balls. But the vis
itors are delighted with bright trop
ical fruits piled in artistic disar
ray, graceful baskets and glazed
pottery, and gay textiles wove* on
primitive hand looms.
Guatemalans are proud, and just
ly so, of the fine coffee grown in
their highlands. Placards in Eng
lish and Spanish remind the visitor
at every turn that "Guatemala
Grows the Best Coffee in the World.”
On the days when tourist trains ar
rive in Guatemala City, the depart
ment of agriculture holds open
house. Small packages of freshly
roasted coffee, wrapped in glazed
paper, are presented to each visitor.
They are appropriate souvenirs of
a nation which is the sixth most im
portant coffee grower in the world,
being exceeded only by Brazil, Co
lombia, the Netherlands Indies,
Venezuela and El Salvador.
The second most important ex
port is the banana, grown in the
coastal plains bordering the Gulf of
Honduras and the Pacific.
Airport a Busy Spot.
One of the busiest spots today in
this busiest of Central American
capitals is La Aurora airport. Here
the trunk line of the Pan Amer
ican Airways from Brownsville,
Texas, to Panama connects with a
half-dozen local air services to dis
tant parts of the republic.
Many who do not come to Guate
mala City by plane, come by boat,
agti dock at San Jose, a sleepy little
tropical port. Between steamers
this “back door” to Guatemala
drowses in the shade of tall bread
fruit trees and coconut palms, and
carries on a desultory commerce
with the Indians of the coastal la
goons.
Its dingy water front, ragged por
ters and fishermen, stifling heat,
and main street pre-empted by rail
road tVacks give no promise of
the color and activity of Guate
mala’s gay, modern capital, high
up in the cool central plateau.
The first part of the 73-mile jour
ney to Guatemala City follows a
gently rising plain, whose black vol
canic soil is planted thickly in ba
nanas, sugar cane, cotton cacao,
and fruit trees. Guatemala City is
nearly a mile above sea level, in
thj cool and healthful tierra tem
plada, or temperate zone, and the
train must gain most of this alti
tude in the last fifty miles.
Not far beyond Palin the line
creep3 through a narrow valley be
tween two towering peaks and
comes out on the edge of mountain
rimmed Lake Amatitlan. For sev
eral miles the railroad winds along
thj shore, passing groups of In
dian women washing clothes in hot
springs at the water’s edge. It is
a convenient laundry, for clothes
may be boiled in the springs and
rinsed in the cold fresh water of the
lake without taking a step!
The train approaches Guatemala
City through verdant suburbs which
give way to warehouses and rail
road yards, indicating the commer
cial activity of this busy Latin
American capital.
“Winter” Means Rainy Season,
From the terminal, taxis whisk
visitors over smoothly paved streets
to their hotel, frequently a grandi
ose structure with a glass-covered
patio, mahogany floors and furni
ture, and very high ceilings.
If one remarks to the clerk that
the air seems a trifle chilly, “Yes,
the winter is just beginning,” he
may reply:
Winter? In the Tropics? And
in May?
He explains that “winter” in Gua
temala is the rainy season, May to
October, a period of clouds, damp
ness, and dismal rains, although, he
hastens to add, “part of every day
is fair and sunny.” In "summer,”
November to April, there is little
or no rain, the sun shines through
out the day, and the people are
healthier and happier.
One may be awakened in the
morning by the clamor of church
bells, the rumble of heavy oxcarts,
and the musical chimes of carriages
bearing worshipers to early mass.
Guatemala City is compactly
built. Stand on the roof of one of
its modern buildings and you see
a clean and pleasant community,
most of whose white, blue, pink,
and buff-colored houses and shops
are one or two stories high. Only
a few concrete business buildings
and stone church towers rise above
the prevailing flat, red-tiled roofs.
Founded in the year the United
States declared its independence,
Guatemala City is a comparative
youngster among the communities
of Latin America. Several times
it has been damaged by earth
quakes, and in 1917 almost the en
tire city was destroyed. It has lost
its Old World air, although it still
has many Moorish-type homes with
iron-grilled windows and patios
aglow with flowers.
Fascinating as is Guatemala City,
however, it is but a prelude to that
native Guatemala which is older in
race, culture, and traditions. High
in the Sierra Madre west and north
of the capital, pure-blooded Indians
still dress as did their ancestors,
worship their old gods as well as
the new, and live their lives al
most unaffected by modern civil
ization.
Until a few years ago, when the
government launched an extensive
road-building program, travel in the
highlands of Guatemala was slow
and arduous. Now one may motor
from the capital westward to the
Mexican border and east to El Sal
vador.
Motoring Through the Country.
Speeding along the floor of the
valley, one passes a steady stream
of Indians and vehicles bound for
the markets of Guatemala City.
Stolid, earnest-faced men trot by at
a half run, their heads held rigid
by a tumpline across the forehead
that supports the heavy loads on
their backs. For miles, they have
been jogging along at this peculiar,
forward-falling gait. In cacastes,
or wooden frames, they carry goods
of all kinds—earthen jars, furniture,
bags of grain, or fresh vegetables.
Their women hurry along beside
or behind them, arms swinging free
ly, their burdens on their heads.
Sometimes it is a basket of live
chickens, a fat roll of clothing, wov
en fabrics, or a bundle of firewood.
Almost always a baby bobs up and
down in a shawl slung across the
mother’s back.
Each tribe, and almost every vil
lage, in the highlands has a distinc
tive costume. Designs have not
changed in hundreds of years. To
those who know the different cos
tumes, the Indians of the highlands
might be carrying signs around
their necks reading, ‘‘I am from
Solola,” or “I am from Chichicas
tenango,” et cetera.
It is regrettable, however, that
many of these costumes are disap
pearing. Native garb has been re
placed by blue denim and cheap
imported cotton goods throughout
most of El Salvador, and these ma
terials are now penetrating Guate
mala. Under the harsh treatment
of the Indian’s daily toil, such fab
rics are quickly reduced to tatters.
Unlike the half-naked aborigines
of the jungle lowlands, or the itin
erant trades men and servants of
the cities, the Indians of the high
lands of Guatemala have main
tained a proud semi-independence
as farmers, weavers and pottery
makers
Conquered but never assimilated,
they arc aristocrats among the na
tive peoples of Central America,
and they are sufficiently well or
ganized to paake mass petitions to
the central government when local
conditions demand it. They have
had much less contact with other
races than Indians elsewhere have
had, and are not badly scourged
with alcohol. Consequently, Jiey
have retained.their self-respect and
are neither subservient nor cring

Overcoming
Tuberculosis
By
DR. JAMES W. BARTON
© Bell Syndicate.—WNU Service.
THE first thought in treat
ing a patient is to learn
just what is causing the
symptoms. Sometimes the
symptoms are not very se
vere or pronounced and the
physician has to make a
number of examinations be
fore he feels certain of the
nature of the trouble.
Thus a few years ago when a
young adult complained of being
Dr. Barton
tired all the time
and losing weight,
the physician would
suspect tuberculosis
or “consumption,”
as it was then
called, but there
might not be much
in the way of other
symptoms to guide
him. There might
be very little cough,
no pain in the chest,
no spitting of blood.
However, since the
discovery of the valuable help that
an X-ray of the chest can give, this
method of examination is now used
everywhere to prove or disprove
the existence of a tuberculous spot
or spots in the lung tissue.
Death Rate at Its Lowest.
When we remember that some
years ago a victim of tuberculosis
was doomed just as was a victim
of pernicious anaemia and diabetes
until quite recently, it is gratify
ing to know that the fight against
tuberculosis is now successful. Thus
during the past year the death
rate from tuberculosis in North
America is the lowest it has ever
been.
The treatment has not varied dur
ing the past thirty years; it con
sists of fresh air and sunshine, rest,
and nourishing food. When the tem
perature keeps at normal, light ex
ercise is given which is gradually
increased up to five hours of light
work daily.
Rest is the biggest factor in the
treatment because every movement
of the body means that a little more
air must be breathed into the lqngs
and if the lungs are to heal they also
must be resting, as much as pos
sible.
* * •
Causes of Underweight.
When an individual is apparent
ly going down hill physically, face
pale, skin pallid or “dirty-looking,”
loss of strength, loss of weight, dis
like for any mental or physical
work, pains in joints and muscles,
tongue pale, flabby and easily
marked or indented by the teeth,
then it is not hard to understand
that something is certainly wrong
in the body somewhere. If little red
spots appear on the skin, first on the
legs and later on other parts,
which spots later become quite large
as if blood were immediately un
der the skin, and swellings appear
in the bend of the elbows and knees,
the physician knows that he has a
well developed case of scurvy to
treat.
Scurvy, or scorbitis as it is called,
is due to a lack of vitamin C in the
food that is eaten and so fruit and
vegetables containing this vitamin—
canned or fresh—is the immediate
treatment. These foods are oranges,
lemons, combined with meat juice
or the white of egg, later followed
by other foods containing vitamin C,
that is potatoes, watercress, raw
cabbage, onions, carrots, turnips,
tomatoes.
However, physicians have been re
alizing for some years now that
there are other conditions in the
body in which, though the symp
toms are not so outstanding as in
scurvy, are nevertheless due to a
lack of some necessary mineral or
vitamin in the foods eaten; at least
not enough of these substances to
fulfill the needs of this particular
individual.
Thus a patient may be pale, iacK
strength, have little or no appetite,
and an examination of the blood will
show that anaemia—lack of iron—
is present. Although the iron con
tained in all the cells of the body
is only 1 part in 25,000 of the body
weight, nevertheless every one of
these tiny cells must have some
iron in it if it is to do its work
properly. The foods containing, or
rich in, iron are meat (especially
liver), egg yolk, leafy vegetables—
spinach, dandelion greens—beans
and peas, fresh and dried.
Another mineral that is often
lacking, one which is needed for
building bone and teeth, building
nerve tissue and making the blood
more “sticky” and thus helping the
healing of sores, ulcers, and other
skin conditions is calcium, or lime
as it is usually called. The indi
vidual wonders why he feels so
weak, lacks appetite, and has little
resistance to ailments. The treat
ment here is the eating of foods
that are rich in lin>e. The foods
rich in lime are spinach, cauli
flower, turnip, dried peas and beans,
dates, figs, raisins, milk, cheese,
egg-yolk.
It is surprising the way an in
crease in the foods containing iron
and calcium, most of which are like
wise rich in phosphorus also, in
crease the weight, appetite, and gen
eral health and strength of many
"run-down” individuals.
