Baldur von Schirach, speaking at a gathering of the Hitler Youth organization, expresses the opinion that none of Germany's cultural life could be eliminated without world civilization losing thereby, whereas none of our American achievements is important. "There is a country," he says, meaning America, "that often sets itself up as an example to other nations, whose creative achievements are in inverse proportion to its attempts at criticism. I could imagine that the past and present endeavors of this nation could be eliminated without mankind feeling that it had lost anything. In fact, I think the whole world would be embarrassed if it were suddenly required to name a single inspired work of these people." Well, how about our Constitution, for instance, with its orderly provisions for the operation of a free government by a free people, with its universal and secret ballot, and its Bill of Rights guaranteeing free speech, free press, free assembly and other basic liberties for everybody? We have a notion thai this document is inspired even more than "Mein Kampf." and Hitler's and Gocbbcls' orations and Gocring's uniforms and badges, and the cruel concentration camps, and the Nazis' barbarous policy. By our crude standards, the Nazi state seems to defy civilization and destroy the culture for which the world formerly admired Germany.

PATIENT INDUSTRY There is something about those Mexicans, more than the rapidly moving visitor is likely to appreciate at first. An American tourist of their character, as he has observed it: "One of the commonest misconceptions is that the common folk, mainly Indians, arc lazy. After having driven thousands of miles on Mexican highways and having failed to ace the pictured Indian squatting in indolence, arc moved to assert that the natives are industrious and courageous. "Everywhere in the country you sec them trudging behind pack donkeys laden with wood, cane, I'odder, fruit; and they do that so long as daylight holds. In the village markets and along the curb in the vending section of Mexico City arc Indians who have walked -1U miles, sleeping on church steps on the way.

to get to the market their pittance of produce," He finds them working hard everywhere, ten hours or more a clay, and getting very little for it--a silent, patient, enduring race, minding their own business and courteous to strangers. We should know them better. The country is beautiful and impressive, but the people themselves, says the observer, arc more interesting. KILLING CROWS They are trying to get rid of the crows in northern Colorado. Airplanes flush flocks of them from their roosting places.

As they fly about in confusion, volunteer hunters on the ground let go with their guns and large numbers of crows arc killed. In one of the first experimental raids, it is reported, 100 men, armed with shotguns, killed about 3,000 s. The authorities no doubt know what they arc doing. There are probably too many crows at the present time. But the exterminators should be careful not to carry their work too far.

The crow, formerly regarded as a corn thief and bad actor generally, is now recognized by scientists as a beneficial bird and a true friend of the fanner. It cats vast numbers of injurious insects, earning many times pay it takes from the farmer in grain. If the birds are actually exterminated, and not merely reduced in numbers, the people of that region are likely to find their insect enemies gaining on them. REVAMPING WPA Something obviously is going to happen to WPA soon, and probably something drastic. It has served a useful purpose and accomplished much valuable work, in spite of the legitimate criticism, but it was improvised for an emergency that was not expected to last very long.

Now it is recognized that certain public purposes served by this organization are not accidental or temporary, that the problems it was made to solve may be with us a long time. So it is said that the WPA in its present form will be discontinued, but its essential functions will be carried on by a new and better organization, with a different name. What it will amount to, we are told, is a "permanent work-reserve corps," in which it is expected that men and women will be trained for trades frankly and efficiently. It will have an effective employment service. There should be nothing casual or makeshift about such an institution, and there need be no shame in being connected with it.

Business has been sleeping like Snow White, but they're chasing the old witch over the cliff; and now where's that Fairy Prince. Thrift isn't always thrift. Did anyone ever get ahead by wearing the same suit of clothes for 10 years? Sure, if you want a thing well done, do it yourself; then you'll think it's well done. There seem to be three or four parties operating at Washington now. The President seems to be getting more advice than consent from the Senate.

THAT BODY OF By James W. Barton, M.D. Registered in accordance with the Copyright Act. OK THK LOWJ3L BOWJ5L The large bowel or intestine is known as the colon so that an inflammation or the colon is called colitis. is known as mucous colitis is very common these days as it is usually due to nervousness emotional upsetments which met with so often now.

There is usually soreness over abdomen, pain resembling colic, constipation (due to spasms) with large quantities of mucous, either alone or covering hardened wastes (fcces) in shape or strings, shreds and bands sometimes tinged with blood. There are present also headaches and physical tiredness. The treatment ot mucous colitis consists in trying to acquire calmness (avoiding excitement) and the use of aott foods--fruit juices, green vegetables such as grow above ground, cooked fruits, buttermilk, clear soups, puddings, custards. Foods to be avoided are fried eggs, preserved, spiced and canned meat and flsh, corn, turnips, berries, alcoholics, gravies, sauces, condiments such as pepper and mustard. However there is a more severe form of colitis known as chronic ulccrative colitis in which the lining ot the bowel is greatly inflamed and ulcerated In this type of colitis, slime, pus, and blood come away with the stools which have a disagreeable odor.

There is also the distress, pain, and tiredness over the abdomen, loss of appetite, loss of weight, and anemia--thin blood. In ulcerative colitis a prolonged rest in bed is given and heat in some form (hot water bag) is applied to the abdomen. Diet here is likewise very important. At nrst all rough or solid food is avoided, only cereal waters being allowed. Then cereal gruels alone for some time followed gradually by milk, orange, and lemon juice.

Then scraped meat. Cleansing enemas containing baking soda, table salt, and boric acid are used dally. Sometimes when patient has become weak and anaemic, blood transfusion are used vritU excellent results. AVhilo surgery may become necessary in some cases, "It frequently happens that by rest, careful diet, and use ot enemas complete relief of all symptoms occurs together with complete healing ot the ulcerated surface of the colon."

The lire company was called Amounts paid or accrued within the taxable year 193S as interest on indebtedness arc deductible, with certain exceptions, from gross income in determining net income. Such items include in- tercbt on borrowed money to defray personal expenses, and on monej borrowed for the purchase of real or personal property.

If ft person owes money on a lieu or mortgage note on his home, amount of the interest may be deducted. Indebtedness, however, need not be evidenced by lien, or mortgage to make interest on it deductible. Fre' nuently indebtedness is evidenced only by a note. Interest paid on indebtedness incurred in the purchase of obligations (other than obligations of United States issued after September 2 1 1917, and originally i subscribed for by the taxpayer), I the interest upon which is wholly exempt from Federal income tax, is not deductible. Interest paid on loans on life-insurance policies is deductible provided the amount of the loan is not used for the purposes previously referred to In this paragraph.

Interest paid on behalf of a friend or relative where there is no legal obligation on the part of the payor is not deductible. In such cases the amount is the same as a gift. As interest paid is deductible, so interest received is taxable. All such amounts, including interest received on bank and savings de- nosits. must be included in the taxpayer's return of gross income.

Today in Washington Copyright, Washington, Feb. 10--Strange as it may seem, the principal reason why there Isn't much progress teing made In Washington nowadays it that the New Dealers cannot seem to agree, on what the congressional elections last o- vember really signify. Many of the Democratic senators who hate been talking with President Roosevelt have come away with the feeling that he thinks a series of "local" reasons accounted for the loes of Democratic seats in the House and Senate, whereas many Democrats, as well as -virtually all the Republicans, honestly believe the last election revealed a national tide of dissatisfaction with the New Deal. The Democrats have told this to the President, but, they report, without persuasive effect. Now, the President has certain reasons for disagreeing, and they are entitled to consideration.

For one thing, the Gallup poll, which has been so uniformly accurate, reports this week that Mr. Roosevelt's popularity is 58 per cent, which is higher by three points than it was last November and higher than it has been with few exceptions since 1932. This matter of personal popularity'; however, is not the basic argument on the President's side. His deep-seated conviction is that, no matter how many Republican seats were gained last autumn, the majority of the voters are still wedded to what he interprets as the "liberal" cause. Indeed, wrapped up in this particular approach to tbe question is the origin of the President's disagreement with bis colleagues.

He. might even be made to believe that there were general or national influences at work in tbe last election, but he will not concede that the majority of tbe voters were aware of national issues in 1938 or would in 1940 exchange "liberal" Democratic for "conservative" Republican rule. Mr. Roosevelt knows, tc be sure, that in 1S36 te had the overwhelming support of organized labor. He cannot believe that, however dissatisfied the A.

F. of L. members may be with some aspects of the labor board, they would be willing to trust a Republican administration to administer the National Labor Relations Act or revise it. He cannot believe also that, however discontented the farmers may be, they will desert the Democratic party in sucb greater numbers as to give the Republicans their old- time majorities in the farm states. So long as the Roosevelt administration feels it can hold a substantial part of the farmer vote and of the city labor vote, it is sure that the big segment of independent voters of tbe middle groups will also stay wiih the Democratic party.

When it comes, then, to "appeasement" or "cooperation" between the left and right wings of the Democratic party itself, the President sees no reason for shifting his position, because to I do so, he thinks, is to compromise with "liberalism," and the kind ot compromise each side really wants is absolute surrender by the other. If Mr. Roosevelt had been con- vinced that the country wat really turning thumbe down ot "liberalism" and was orer to what be calls the- reactionary side, he might have been diatoeed to make but he feeli that to do so when majority sentiment does not plainly Indicate its disapproval of his it to betray true "liberaliim." Perhaps one of the things that sticks iu the President's mind is the way the Republicans on the stump last autumn told audiences that they favored New Deal "objectives," but not the New Deal "methods." Mr. Roosevelt fears this may be but a political maneuver, something like that which tbe Republicans worked in 19'0, when many of them, including Charles Evans Hughes, former President Taft and Elibu Root, told Republicans to vote for AVar, ren Harding because the latter favored American entrance into the League of Nations, but with "reservations." After tbe election was over, Mr. Harding insisted the result meant a complete repudiation of the league, reservations and all.

It the Republicans win In 1940, will they, having got votes on the platform of New Deal "objectives," say after a victory'that the people had completely repudiated even the objectives of the New Deal and proceed to repeal the social legislation which "liberals" on tbe Democratic side are fighting to preserve? In tbe answer to this fundamental question lies the key to the cleavages which are arising. Roosevelt intends to fight for "liberalism" even if his defeat is encompassed by conservatives within tbe Democratic ranks in coalition with conservatives on the Republican side. When 1940 conies, he will either run himself, or make the supreme battle for a candidate who can fight for "liberalism," someone like Robert H. Jackson, tbe present solicitor general. And, as for the would-be candidates on the Democratic side who are lukewarm to Mr.

Roosevelt and plau to seek the support of the conservatives in the party, they will find tbe Roosevelt political machine fighting them tooth and nail unless they embrace tbe Roosevelt i wholeheartedly and manifest in the nest year or so their fidelity to those objectives. Maybe this cleavage means a third with liberals drawn from the Republican and from the Democratic side. Such a split may even mean the election of Republican conservative in 1940, but there are few who will venture to say what it could mean in 1944, with Franklin Roosevelt plainly the leader of sucb a coalition and able perhaps to win the nomination of the Democratic party on a "liberal crusade." Clearly, what is going on in Washington now is not to be simplified as just presidential stubbornness or pique, but as something so fundamental in the currents of American politics as to give genuine concern to everybody, perhaps except those observers wbo rationalize everything here pro and anti-Roosevelt without regard to tbe tremendous forces in the economic world which, lie back of the pro and anti-liberal trends of tbe times.
