FIVE CD SuII i va Says Am erica Not Free From Wbrldr Wide Anti-Democratic Trend LINCOLN SUNDAY JOURNAL AND STAU, JANUARY 2, 1933. Oproposal to congress written out By. MARK SULLIVAN, his super-faithful followers, or lies with the democrats who opposed Mr. Roosevelt's court proposal, increased by some additions since the court proposal was "defeated. The outcome will be determined in 1938.

Jt will be determined mainly In the democratic primaries in which democratic senators and representatives, especially senators, come up for re-nomination. In the state primaries, which begin in Illinois in April, nine democratic senators who opposed the president's court proposal will bo up for renomlnatlon. If they, or most of them, win, that will be A MONG questions that New Year speculations deal with, one, of course, stands out -above all others; Because it is Intricate, it will require a paragraph to state it: Throughout the World there is a tendency sway from democracy, and in the direction of centralized tartan govern- I ij of the president's hands with respect to the rest of his program. Democratic senators who had taken the daring step of opposing a president belonging to their party and a president who was popular in the country these senators were, immediately afterward, rather eager to show that while they had opposed the president on one point they did not oppose him generally. Democratic senators who had opposed the court measure took, immediately afterward, an attitude of sun porUng the president in other matters to a degree that went beyond their personal convictions It was in this spirit and for supporters in congress were reduced by the conspicuous absence of senators and representaUves whose faithfulness to him had been an immense asset.

The ranks of those who were still willing to accept the president's proposals without question were reduced to senators whose names and records did not command prestige as high as some who now opposed the president's measures. Thus 1938 begins. Politically the most pregnant immediate condition is the struggle for control of the democratic party. Perhaps we should not use so strong a word as "struggle." Let us say it is an evolution which will determine whether control of the democratic ing to express their dissent on public roll calls, was probably a Ijttle greater than the number of democrats in congress who continued, as in the early years of Mr, Roosevelt's administration, to give unquesUonlng support to any measures he aent to congress. The sign of this condition was the clear unwillingness of Mr.

Roosevelt's own party in the house to support a wage and hour bill in the form in which the administration had sent it to congress. The figures are convincing. A wage-and-hour bill which in July passed the senate by 56 to 28 that bill, in a modified form to be sure, waa in December defeated in the house by 218 to 193. ward traditional democracy. Similarly, in other states eighteen democratic senators who supported the president's court proposal will come up for renomlnatlon.

The outcome with respect to these eighteen will not be so decisive as the outcome with respect to the But from the aggregate results of the primaries In which twenty-seven democratic senators seek renomlnatlon will be deduced a dependable sign as to whether the party Is still under the domination of Mr. Roosevelt and his Immediate friends or has passed back to the domination of leaders who a the -custodians of orthodox democratic traditions.

Roosevelt suffered a new loss of prestige. Democratic senators, who, after voting against his court proposal, had wished to support him so as to make a balanced record, now felt free to oppose him. By about October it was fair to estimate that the democrats in congress opposed to much of Mr. Roosevelt's program, were at least equal in number to those who supported his program. Indeed, by the end of the year it was likely that the number of democrats who were unsympathetic to much of the president's program and will a sign that control of the democratic party is passing away from Mr.

Five months later early in July, Mr. Roosevelt and the world knew he could not have the change in the courts that he asked for. It la hardly conceivable, at this time, that Mr. Roosevelt would renew his attempt to change the court It ia certain that if he should attempt it he would be defeated more conclusively than before. From the conflict over the court measure and the ultimate defeat of it arose what may turn out to be the most important event of 1938.

The struggle over the court bill in the senate divided the president's party in that body, and in the house, squarely in two. There were those who favored the president's measure, there were those who opposed it. The numbers of the two groups of democrats were not equal, for the that opposed the president's proposal was only enabled to defeat it by having with them the little group of sixteen republicans in the senate. (The solidarity of the republican senators on the president's court measure was another outstanding rolitical event of 1937. Without looking up the records, one might justifiably estimate that that was the first time in thirty years when every person in the senate bearing the republican label voted the same way on an important question.) An early consequence of 'the rejection of the president's court measure in the senate was, strangely enough, a Strengthening little or no light on the question.

But if we can get brief statements from ten thousand readers, men tionlng the nature and duration of the troubel and the amount of milk and other dairy products con umed daily, we may be able to make some useful deductions. In the first notebook I kept as a physician the introductory note is: Lack of lime in central nervous system possible cause of eclamp sia. To this note is appended a reference to the source of the idea. Eclampsia, I had better explain is medicalese for convul sions and the term is most commonly applied to puerperal con vulsions, that is, convulsions in a woman who is aboutto give birth or who has recently given birth to a child, the convulsions being usually due to uremia from nephritis or functional failure of we moneys, me idea or a calcium or lime deficiency in the body was novel then. Today by actual analysis physicians determine the calcium content of the blood, which is about 10 mgrms.

per 100 c. cm. or say IS grains to the quart of blood. A little less lime (calcium) in the blood and tissues, that is, the soft tissues, than there is in milk. It is fairly well established as a principle -of practice today that any deficiency in the calcium (lime) content of blood and tissues, whether from shortage of the elements in the food or from spme failure in the assimilation or absorption of lime into the blood and tissues, or from a greater than normal demand for lime (as in pregnancy land in childhood, to meet the require ments of growth), an increased ir ritability (of the tissues, commonly ascribed to the nervous sys tem, is an attendant feature.

It is only in the past ten years that we have learned that an adequate daily of vitamin is essential for normal calcium assimilation, utilization, metabol Question Of Caused The By JAY FRANKLIN. TrASHINGTON, D. Bs- tween now and the next elections, there will be a great deal of argument as to whether President Roosevelt caused the present business "recession." If we go into another tail-spin, the new dealers can scarcely expect to escape bldme for bad economic conditions, In this theory the conservatives take quiet comfort, being strangely unaware of the fact that in tim9 of economic hardship politics move rapidly in the direction of radicalism, The result of depression poli tics is never comforting to those who support the status quo and any Tory calculations that the recession has cooked Roosevelt's goose must be tempered by the knowledge that hitherto Roosevelt has saved their hides.

But just when the president was getting the benefit of this advantage, this leaning backward of democratic senators in his favor, he forfeited it by a mistake.

There had arisen a vacancy on the Supreme court To fill the vacancy Mr. Roosevelt-appointed Hugo L. Black. He appointed Mr. Black without consulting leaders of his party in the senate, or his cabinet, or others whom he might have expected to consult When Black's appointment was laid before the senate the senatefagain in a spirit of taking the sting out of their previous action in rejecting the president's court measure voted overwhelmingly to confirm the appointment of Black.

soon after Black was appointed and dist closures about him arose which, had they been known, almost cer- ism, and hence, for health and vigor. It is only in the past five years that we have begun to be have that few individuals can or do get enough vitamin in their natural diet or otherwise that is, enough to maintain optimal nu tritlon. To be sure, certain in fants or children seem to get enough vitamin to prevent the outspoken manifestations of rickets, even though they get it only in milk, cream, egg yolk or butter these arc the only natural foods of man that contain signifi cant amounts of vitamin D. Formerly it was thought sufficient if the infant, child or growing boy or girl developed no deformity as a consequence of rickets Today that is not enough; we endeavor to provide a suitable ration of vitamin to supplement the diet of infant, child or adolescent be cause this modern practice has proved advantageous children who get enough vitamin to supplement an otherwise satisfactory diet invariably thrive better and grow faster and become more vigorous men and women than do children who receivet he same good diet but not the supplementary vitamin D.

No Choice. Under these circumstances, they say, the president had no choice but to let the renegades and rebels try to carry the ball, and their do-nothingism in the face of New Deal pledges, last spring and summer and at the recent godhelpus special session is the best proof that the administration is not responsible for economic consequences of political inaction.

Now, they insist, Mr. Roosevelt does not intend to fire until he sees the whites of their eyes. He is allowing the big business tycoons to discover that their irre sponsible policies are not only harmful to the country but unprofitable to themselves. He is allowing their hired men In congress to wear themselves out by marching up the hill and marching down again. He is relying cn the rising tide of public discontent unemployment, inadequate relief, ruinous prices, sweat-shop hours and wages, bankruptcies and foreclosures to flood out the Burkes, Byrds and Baileys, the Lammot du Fonts and the Winthrop Aldrlches, who have been ignoring the human needs of a great nation.

What we wish to learn is whether the consumption of a fair amount of milk daily average of a quart a day or of other dairy products equivalent to a quart a day does not confer upon tha individual a degree of immunity against the common manifestations of allergy, notably hay fever, asthma, hives, giant hives, angioneurotic edoma), ml graine (periodic sick, headache), recurring neuralgia and general nervous irritability." Former Practice. 1 Once it was the practice of phy- siciana to prescribe or advise the addition of an ounce or more of lima water to the plntof milk, not only for Infant feeding, but for adult invalids or valetudinarians who harbored obsessions against the digestibility of milk.

The lime water, the old timers thought, tended to prevent too large curds from forming during digestion of the milk: that nouon they ob tained from tha fact that of course the hydrochloric acid in the gas- trie juice curdles milk In the Stomach, and the lime in lime water la alkaline and more or less neutralizes tha acid of tha gas-trio juice. Like many other quaint old medical notions this one has been discarded, at least by most physicians now in practice. If anything is to be used in infant feeding with a view to proventing difficulty from formation of large curds it is now one or 4 another cereal gruel or water addition td the milk formula. This accomplishes the desired result and also desirable nutritive without interfering with the natural digestive processes. To make lime water: Put a lump tt fresh unslaked lime, ordinary builder's lime, the aize of a walnut, In a crock or any earthen vessel.

Add two quarts of boiled and filtered water, or better distilled water or fresh boiled rain water or snow water. Stir it up and let stand until the remaining undissolved lime settles at the bottom. The clear upper liquid carefully poured or drawn off is lima water. Average amount of this lime water to add to a glassful or a pint of milk is from a tablespoon ful to an ounce (two table-spoonfuls). So far as tha calcium content of lime water is concerned, it isn't so much.

In fact a quart of milk contains more lime than a quart of lime water. Average lime content of a quart of milk is twenty grains. Besides the lime (and phosphorus) in milk there is present in fresh raw milk certified or from tuberculin tested herd some vitamin as well as and and, if the cow gets fresh green fodder, vitamin The vitamins, particularly vitamin promote normal assimilation or utilization (metabolism) of the calcium (and phosphorus). This ia why we wish to learn what proportion, if. any, ef people subject to hay fever, asthma, hyperesthetic rhinitis, pseudo-sinusitis, recurring hives, chronic eczema or general irritability" now follow and have always followed the good health rule that every one should take a quart of milk, or Its equivalent ia other dairy products, every day.

But this won't work in 1937. If the Owen Youngs, Henry Fords, Harvey Flrestores.

What they really want is a peace conference with the president, a deal which will completely ignore the political decisions of the American people at the last three national elections and wiu "settle things" around a table in the good old wav.

We are not buying their goods, either because we can't anora xo pay their "prices or, being unemployed or badly paid, because we have no money; and we are not supporting their stock market or whooping it up for rugged individualism and the American way, for the same reason.

Mr. Roosevelt seems to be gambling that his opponents will see the red Ink in time to spare the country another big depression. In the meantime, he is keeping good poker-face and letting both congress and the Tories demonstrate their political bankruptcy and economic ineptitude. OoprWfht, mt. BentW WM TrlbuM Syndicate.

In a circular to correct abuses in -collective, factories, Serra Moret, president of the Catlan government economy council, advised workers to observe the following rules: Factory committees, councils and workers' controls must meet after working hours except in obvious emergencies. General workers assemblies should be 'held in the factory one hour before the finish Of the day and loss of work made up if necessary. In no case should workers be authorized to leave their jobs to attend union meetings not connected with their factory. Time not used for work should be deducted from salaries.

Kennedy is a Bostonian with a faint Back Bay accent but with out ostentation. "As plain as an old shoe" fits him. He ha frank open face, smiling mouth, buck teeth and the healthy complexion that goes with clean living. His wife is a beautiful brunette and his constant companion when away from his desk. She is the mother of his nine children rang ing in age from 4 to 21 years.

The Kennedys have been married 23 years and their marked devotion is one of the epics of the modern marital records. While Kennedy was bora of well-to-do parents, his fortune ia of his own making. He was presi dent of a large Boston trust com pany in his 20's. Today he is his late 40's and well able to retire but he has a zest for doing things without the slightest yen for political office. He neither drinks nor smokes and a minor stomach ailment keeps him on a rather rigid diet, but does not slow up his vigor and he puts in more hard working hours than nine out of ten.

He knows the Wall street thimble- riggers and the straight shooters, and that is why he was so effective as head of the securities commission. He has several homes Bronx- vine, Boston and Palm Beach but spends most of his time at Brohxville. In his career, too, he has done much to rehabilitate shaky motion picture concerns and put them again in the running. A friend who knows her tells me Emily Post, to use his phrase, is "simply swell."
