as Second' Clfjss MaiJ Matter by Oniontown Inc. MUST WE HAVE INTERNAL WAR? You can always make honest Americans indignant by reminding them that the world never yet has devised any way of settling disputes between nations but the costly, wasteful, and inexpressibly painful resort to force. Everyone agrees "that this is a sad commentary on the good sense of the human race, especially part of the human race which lives in the ancient, proud, and incurably pugnacious countries of Europe. We don't seem to be able to understand, however, that we in the United States have been equally stupid. For our internal quarrels also get settled force--force which, in Ls application, in the toll it" levies on innocent bystanders, and in the general hit-him-below-the-belt air which pervades it, is a direct and ugly parallel to the force used in international warfare.

Right now we may be walking straight into a great steel strike. No one above the kindergarten age needs to be told that such a strike would be horribly expensive. It would be expensive not merely to the $5,000,000.000 steel industry and to the far- flung labor organizations which partake of it directly, but to the rest of the country as well. People would be killed, property would be damaged, hatred and suspicion that will be years in dying would be created, national prosperity would get a direct and possibly ruinous setback. It is a national problem just as inescapably as invasion of our land by a foreigr.

army would be a national problem. The no-man's land of American life is a broad land indeed. Corporations with an aggregate wealth greater than that of some independent nations can exist in it; struggles as bitter and as deadly as Central American war can take place in it; embattled labor unions numbering more men than are enrolled in both the United States army and navy can fight-in it; and the United States government can do nothing to interfere. To all intents and purposes this great industry, with its half-million workers and its vast aggregation of capital, exists outside the United States. But the rows that it gets into, the bloodshed and hatred that these rows engender, the financial losses that they cause--all these take place right in our midst.

It is American blood that is shed, American minds that are inflamed by hatred, American money that is lost, American property that is damaged. It may indeed be very stupid of the human race to go on putting up with war as the one method of settling disputes between nations. What, then, is to be said of the world's richest nation when it puts up with war as the one means of settling.a great industrial dispute? A A I A I Race for House Speaker-ship Will Be Waged Vigorously During the Campaign What's Behind Move to Recall Senator Schwellenbach Is Revealed Haile SeJassie's Added E'tterness Held Due to British Muddling. MEN OP IRON -'tt iv NEW YORK DAV BY DAV NON-POLITICAL ACCOUNTING John R. McCarl, retiring after 15 years' service as comptroller general of the United States, leaves this mighty pertinent observation, to wit: bookkeeping and politics never were meant to mix under the American form of government.

That is to say, Mr. McCarl explains, "that an accounting office- absolutely and utterly free of politics is essential" in Washington--for all administrations, as a permanent set-up of our government. At the same time, the retiring comptroller general urges wholesale reorganization of government to effect a "vast monetary saving," and to assure better administration. We hope the Byrd Senate committee will return strong recommendations along the line of these suggestions and that the next Congress will carry them out. The whole problem of government reorganization has been dodged and by-passed quite enough.

By RODNEY BUTCHER News Standard Washington Correspondent WASHINGTON, July of the chief sideshows of the presidential campaign, although many of the most important movements therein won't be visible on the surface, is a grim struggle for the speakership of the next House of Representatives. Technically, at least, this is a contest for the Democratic floor leadership. But politicians are figuring cold-bloodedly that the poor health of Speaker William Bankher.d of Alabama, former floor leader who succeeded the late Speaker Joseph W. Byrns, will not permit him to occupy the floor leadership for very long. The candidates are Congressman Sam Rayburn of Texas, backed tacitly by the administration, and Congressman John J.

O'Connor, Tammany representative from New York. Rayburn is chairman of the House interstate commerce committee and O'Connor is chairman of the much more powerful rules committee. Rayburn is off to a good start through hL appointment as chief of the Democratic speakers' bureau for the campaign. Hard-pressed Democrats in many states will soon be beseeching him for oratorical aid and he will make many more friends in the House before the campaign is over. O'Connor After Job O'Connor, meanwhile, has been stepping out boldly toward his goal.

After the New York delegation in Philadelphia had caucused and agreed to vote for abrogation of the two-thirds rule as desired by Roosevelt, O'Connor cast his vote in the convention rules committee against abrogation. He said he had never heard of the caucus action, but it is commonly assumed that he was seeking personal support from the south. O'Connor's friends also engineered publication in an Atlanta newspaper of an editorial saying that the south mustn't be too greedy and that the House leadership should go to a northerner. They have since been circulating copies widely. Not long before Congress adjourned, the New Yorker is said to have sought an arrangement with Senator Joseph Guffey of Pennsylvania whereby the Guffey coal bill would be allowed to come to a vote and Guffey would line up Pennsylvania members behind the O'Connor candidacy.

The bill came to a vote, but Guffey is understood to aave made no promises. One important aspect of the speakership is that if Roosevelt rhould be beaten, the House probably would still be Democratic and the speaker would be his party's most highly-placed spokesman and leader. So Schwellenbach Balked Talk in the state of Washington among left- wing Democrats about a vote to recall Senator Lew Schwellenbach arises from another convention incident. The Washington delegation caucused, elected to the resolutions committee, and ordered him to fight in committee for a production- for-use plank anri the Townsend plan and. if unsuccessful, to carry the fight to the convention floor.

The caucus was held while the senator was making a radio speech and he felt it had been called at that time on purpose. So Schwellenbach told his political buddies to "go take a dive" and spent most of convention week at Atlantic City. He wouldn't have minded battling for a production-for-use plank, but drew the line at embarrassing the administration by a hopeless floor fight for the Townsend plan.

Big New York inns usually have a half dozen or more assistant managers who handle their jobs somewhat geographically. They are men who have worked in other Darts of the country.

The crowds just aren't turning out any more to view with morbid curiosity the father of an infamous gangland killer. There was a time, a year or so back, when the elder Dil'iinger drew large audiences.

But now, it seems, the hero worship of the gangster is about over in America. The public has caught up with itself. If there is any hero worship at ail it's for the men who have made it their business to snuff out those thugs of whom John Dillinger, was a leader. And that trend Ls certainly refreshing. Somehow it sort of restores one's faith in America's sanity.

More British Muddling Haile Selassie's speech to the League of Nations probably wouldn't have been so bitter if the British, besides failing to back him up against Mussolini, hadn't muddled him out of a chance of retaining a semblance of his former power. The Italians, according to word trickling over here, were all set to offer Selassie some peace terms which included an arrangement for him to stay around under Italian domination as a viceroy, still occupying a throne. The British, according to this story, hustled the emperor out of Addis Ababa--either because they didn't want him making any such agreement or because they at that time expected to help him organize anti-Italian resistance from outside Ethiopia.

Vaccination against smallpox may be repeated at intervals of seven to 10 years. It should also be repeated at any time that smallpox is preva- I in the community. We know now that vaccination eradicates smallpox. It is, however, impossible to secure universal vaccination and, because of danger of occasional outbreaks, children must be vaccinated regularly.

Against diphtheria we now have available a highly useful inoculation with toxpid. It is so mild in its reactions and so certain in its effects that physicians in general have discontinued preliminary tests of the skin to see whether the child is immune to diphtheria, and instead recommend universal application of the toxoid inoculation. It is best given to children before the time of their entrance to school. In children who live in cities, tox- oid inoculation is best given between the sixth and 12th months. In children housed in institutions, such as orphan asylums or protective homes, inoculation against diptheria may be practiced in the third month.

Millions of children have been inoculated with toxoid without harmful results. Inoculations against scarlet fever, Miss routine.
