And In response to the arguments adduced from these cases numerous American States, including North Carolina, have enacted legislation pro- tiding for sterilization in certain cases. Why is It.

then, that the German sterilization law has rather shocked the outside world? The answer, of course, is that it is because of the danger Implicit in the exercise of such a law when the powers of administration are aibi- trary and the belief Is strong that the enforce- ment of the law may be attended by grave abuses of the authority which it vests In the administrators. The contention In Germany, It Is true, is that all possible care will be taken to avoid misjudgmcnts by the hereditary health courts, "which must decide not only the basis of their own diagnosis but also tile basis of evidence i in each case." The fact remains that In the Germany of today those courts are no longer sprung from the people; tliey arc imposed upon the people; and minorities in Germany at the present time are virtually without i rights.

In eager and impressive advocacy of such a reduction in this tax, that contemporary has been wagiut; a relentless crusade.

Jn elaboration of its amended stand. The Observer cites the following very informative and suggestive statistics: The present budget of the highway department calls for the expenditure of $16 767.860 a year. The gasoline tax last year yielded leaving a difference of $2,056,354.

Docs all of the $16,767,860 budget go for highway expenses? It docs not! One million dollars of goes to the State's general fund and 8750.000 of It goes to the support of the State's prison. Suppose we aubstract this $1,750,000 from the $2,056,354 difference between the highway budget and the gas tax yield. We get which represents the amount that the gasoline tax falls short of supplying oil the actual highway needs of North Carolina. Last yenr 408 005 cars and trucks were licensed In North Carolina. A 50 cent license tax on each of them would have yielded $204,042, falling short only two thousand dollars of balancing the budget for actual highway needs.

But uch communications must be accompanied by the real name the writer, even when they are to be published over a nom de plume. Japan pledged herself to a non -aggressive policy as respects the Asiatic mainland and the Islands. We dtd not fortify our own outposu because we have no ambitions of our own in Asia and were willing to renounce the possibility ol the use ol force in that part of the world.

But If Japan is now going to claim the right lo override all her treaties and at the same time to possess a navy equal to ours, the whole basic settlement 6T twelve years ago will be undermined. This has one very important practical consequence. The time is already at hand when it Is necessary to discuss the renewal, the improvement, or the abrogation of the naval treaty. The Japanese should not deceive themselves. No American Congress would ratify a treaty giving naval equality to Japan, most especially after the demonstration since September, 11)31 ol how aggressively the present rulers of Japan employ armaments.

Therefore the Japanese should know that 11 they commit themselves to the doctrine of a lree hand in Asia plus naval parity they had Just as well be frank about It and admit that the naval treaty is to lapse and the naval conference is not worth calling together. As a mailer of fact, if Japan is to demand naval equality. It would bo dangerous to the peace of the world to hold a conference. For a conference under such conditions would simply advertise and exacerbate the irreconcilable positions, This Is not the vley of American Jingoes or professional anti-Japanese. It is, I believe, the view of men who, looking at the matter without passion or prejudice, realize that propaganda such as Is now being put forth in Japan may.

If It Is not checked, put Japan in a position ol isolation in the world from which it would be extremely difficult Jor her to retreat. (Copyright 1034, N. Y. Tribune, Inc.) theless, this propaganda Is toklng a form which may have wrious implications lor the and would be a mistake njt. to call attention to them.

What is to be Icared is that the propagandists will commit Japanese opinion and Japanese public men to projects that are impossible to realize, that bridges will be burned, the Japanese national honor engaged. This propananda seems to be bent upon establishing two principle. One is that, all treaties to the contrary notwithstanding, no one inut question the Japanese advance ui Asia. Indeed, last week there were expressions of pained astonishment tn Japan because the United Staws, though offering no active opposition, docs not by lecognizlng Manchukuo give its approval lo the treaty-breaking. The other is that In the naval conference scheduled for Japan must have a navy cquai to Britain's and America's.

Thees two principles combined are formidable. If they were accepted, they would destroy the whole basis of the treaty relationship set up In the Washington Conference. Let ua recall what those relationships were. The United States came to the Washington Conference with a naval building program under way which, if completed, would have made us the first naval power. The IJntlfch had an alliance with Japan.

The Japanese had taken a big bite out of China. The Washington Conference was a compromise in the interest of general peace. The United Slates gave up naval supremacy and accepted equality In capital ships with Great Britain. The British gave up their Japanese alliance. Japan and the United States agreed upon a ratio of three lo live.

In return the United States agreed not to fortify islands in the Western Pacific thus making it impossible for the American navy to give battle on the Asiatic st'dc of the ocean. Japan in In the meantime the President put in his staggering budget proposals. He disregarded possible Increased liquor revenues In his calculations. His estimates were based on minimum income and maximum outgo for this and the succeeding fiscal years.

Nevertheless It seems probable, assuming a continuation of Nazi control, that Germany Is about to provide an object lesson on a wholesale scale of the effects of the application of a doctrine which has been preached elsewhere vigorously but which nowhere has been put Into practice except upon a very limited scale. Keep Them Off The Highways Judge Michael Schenck's denunciation of drunken drivers, In his charge to the new Buncombe County grand Jury, docs not overstate the case. Professor Harry Tucker, of North Carolina State College, Is authority for the statement that up until 1930 drunken drivers figured in 6.7 per cent of all automobile accidents in this Slate; and that "during the ast year the percentage has Increased considerably, so that the deaths of 91 persons killed in traffic accidents in North Carolina in 1933 were atributed to intoxicated drivers." Unfortunately, most of the cases in which drunken drivers arc involved do not come lo the attention of a Superior Court Judge, They arc dealt with In the lower courts and Ihc records Indicate that In the great majority of cases the offenders arc released on the payment of a fine.

Judge Schcnck tells the mem Immediate Kcvcnue How Is that going to work out? If Senator Pat Harrison, finance chairman in the senate. Is right, an almost Immediate Increase of government revenues amounting to nearly a quarter of a billion dollars is In prospect from the importation of Amorlcun-typc whiskey. Assuming that only the supposed Canadian reserve stock of 25.000,000 pioof gallons of American-type comes In, Harrison figures Uncle Sam will collect $7 a gallon In lax and tariff and also get an additional tax on every gallon of reclined or blended beverage Into which it is converted. That would mean substantially an ably the most important cause or trouble with the new-born infanta diet is under-feeding. Most of tha troubles of the new baby are simply from lack or sufficient food.

Renumber that it needs Just as much lood per pound a a grown person, plus an extra amount for growth and possibly for an factor, which we will call "Infantile energy." It also nceda a good amount of fluid a day abou three ounces per pound of b-cT weight. v4 Second, should say that tha best standard for Judging whether a child's diet Is adequate is Increase in weight. Cow's milk is the backbone of the feeding formula. Goat's milk might be used, but for practical purprsss of convenience in most places cow'a milk is sensible because it is easier to obtain and Is adequate. Cow's milk differs somewhat from mother's milk, Human milk contains about half as much protein and almost twice as much sugar as cow's milk.

Tho fat in human nnd cow's milk Is usually about the same, buc In human milk 'he Tat globules are much smaller than those of cow's milk. Both contain all the minerals necessary for nutrition of the normal infant, with the possible exception of iron. With these facts in mind, it la obvious that In preparing cow's milk for human Infants, it will do no harm to reduce the protein by boiling the milk until part of the protein is coagulated and appears on tha surface as scum. And it will also be necessary to add carbohydrate In the form of sugar of some kind. More important than anything that the milk shall not be contaminated by germs.

For practical purposes this is best accomplished by boiling the milk. Where pastem-i? or certified milk Is obtainable thittf procedure may be omitted, but there Is no advantage in it, because the boiling reduces the protein to the amount that is In human milk, and it also makes It more digestible because It creates a finer curd, and ia this approximates the digestibility or mo tiler's milk.

The results show that the total income distributed to individuals throughout the nation in 1029 was $81,000,000,000 and Uiat in 1032 this income had dropped to $49,000,000,000, a decline of 40 per tent.

Coincidcnlally the production income of the country shrank from $83,000,000,000 in 1929 to $38,300,000,000 in 1932. This was a decline of 64 per cent. Apparently, then, tlic production income of the United States In 1929 exceeded the income distributed to Individuals by two billion dollars, while in 1932 the Income distributed to Individuals exceeded the production income by more limn ten billion dollars. In other words, in 1932, and In 'every year since 1929, the figures show that the country has been living "upon previously accumulated assets and surpluses." And every one must know that tills is precisely what has been happening. as classified by the report, is the way in which, the national income shrank in the four years covered by study: Wages totaled 11152,807,000,000 In 1021); 4B.U80,0O0,00O 111 10110; $41, 027.000,000 111 1031, and 9,31.505,000,000 In 1032.

Dividends paid In the same period were $5,003,000,000 In 1029; $5,705,000,000 In 1030; $4,311,000,000 111 1031, nnd 111 1032. On the other hand, Interest payments remained almost stationary during the four years of the report, bclwr In 1929; 5 .828 .000 .000 In 1030; in 1931 and 5. 508,000.000 In 1032. Income distributed by agriculture dropped from $6,341,000,000 In 1920 to In 1932. In mining the drop was from In 1920 to $851,000,000 In 1032.

A ItOTTI.K Oi' BfcKK Editor of The citizen: It seems thot the "dry" leaders arc as prone to make exaggerated statements as their worthy opponents. Kor Instance, I note in last Sunday's (January Citizen-Times that iTie Interview with Miss Mary B. Er-vin, national Held secretary ot the W. C. T.

C. quotes her as stating about the 3-2 per cent beer: "Elaborating, she said that there was on: r.nd one-quarter ounces of alcohol in a bottle of beer and ono drinking that much alcohol would be in the flrsl stages of Intoxication." By the simplest mathematics it is easily seen that an ordinary 12 ounce) bottle, of beer contains only ounces of alcohol, and for one to obtain the one and onc-qiiartci ounces of alcohol would be necessary to drink 110 ounces or one quart, nu seven ounces of il.ii per cent beer, It may be possible that ono drlnki ing 1 1 -4 ounces of alcohol woulci "be In the first stages of Intoxication," but such an occ lira nee is an absurd thought with a. bottle of 3.2 beef.
