Porto Rico Is Hungry Porto Rico Is a long way off. And we have troubles of our own— depression, drought, prohibition and whatnot. Bo we don’t worry about Porto Rico. But we should. We will if we take to heart the dire description of things down there given in Governor Theodore Roosevelt’s annual report. The point is that we are partly responsible. We took over those people without consulting them. And after all these years they are as bad off as ever—worse, in some ways. Young Roosevelt has been doing a good Job, very good. But the Job is not finished. It hardly is begun. The basic problem is overpopulation, and all the evils which flow from it-dlsease, ignorance, poverty, starvation and the rest. The death rate from tuberculosis is the highest in the hemisphere. Health funds are inadequate. Most of the mountainee,.:> get no medical care. Almost two-thirds of the population • are unemployed. In a farm and garden paradise, the people are landless. Once Spanish lords owned the land. Now it is mostly American sugar companies. Food must be imported at high prices. Roosevelt wants to put the people back on the land as small farmers. For the others he Wants to bring in light industries to provide jobs. Hurricane devastation increased disease and poverty. The government was not functioning any too well, especially on the financial side. American loans and relief funds tided over the emergency. But that help was only a palliatiive. The old problems remain. Roosevelt’s proposed solutions are splendid. Congress should give him the appropriations and laws he wants, and American capital should give him the co-operation he asks, on a business basis. He and his associates should feel that the United States is behind his homestead, industrial, health and educational reforms. But that is not enough. The Porto Rican people want more. They want more drastic land reform. They want more political freedom, a free state or dominion status. They have a right to it. That would give them self-respect and self-re-liance, so much needed to work out their difficult destiny. Our paternalism has been tried for many years, and failed. Now they should have our help as equals. Is it too much to expect of Roosevelt that he will see this, and help Washington to see it? Perhaps not, given time. Meanwhile, he deserves much credit for banishing some of the Porto Rican distrust of us, and for awakening more of us to our responsibility down there. The Deficit Grows Secretary Andrew W. Mellon may have been speaking'ouT of turn' last month when he admitted there was a treasury deficit threatening a tax increase, but this month's figures show that he knew what he was talking about. Attempts by the White House to soft pedal the disconcerting fact will not help matters. In fact, the government, now is $50,000,000 deeper in the hole than when Mellon started to get worried. The net loss on Sept. 11, compared with a year ago. svas more than $135,000,000, Since the fiscal year has run less than two and a half months, this early deficit is uncomfortably large ' The lasses are from both sides of the ledger. Receipts are down more than' $96,000,000. and expenditures are up more than $39,000,000, exclusive of. debt reduction. Almost two-thirds of the loss in receipts is due to the falling off in customs receipts. The import, revenue loss for the period, compared with last year, exceeds $57,000,000. Much of that loss, of course, is directly due to the administration's new high tariff law—the monfrosity which was touted to “revive prosperity in thirty and which actually has done more than anything else to deepen and prolong the depression. The second largest, factor tn the decline of receipts is the loss of $19,000,000 in income tax shrinkige, another result of the depression aggravated by the higher tariff law. Increased expenditures can not be checked materially, but probably will continue to grow under additional demands, such as the federal building program to take up unemployment slack and the need for drought relief. * Handling this growing deficit will be one of the major tests of the administration. The tentative White House proposal to use for the deficit the funds annually set aside for retirement of the public debt is poor statesmanship, bad finance and worse economy. One of the few achievements of the CoolidgeMejlon regime was its public debt payment policy. It wall be a sad day for American finance if that sound fiscal policy succumbs to political expediency. Ellis Island Censors The state department and the immigration authorities already have assumed to censor our politics. In the Karolyt and other cases they have felt it necessary to protect us from foreigners of liberal tendencies. There has been no comparable solicitude lest we become contaminated -with royalism, Fascism, or autocracy. No ultra-conservative foreigners have been excluded-’from our shores. Now the immigration authorities apparently want to decide who shall ■ teach our children. Muss Elsa Hewitt, a talented and cultured young English woman, was engaged by the Manumit school at Pawling N. Y., to teach music. She is the daughter of a former member of the British parliament. The Manumit school is an experimental school of high standing. It is run by Nellie Seeds Nearing and sponsored by various labor organizations—A. F. of L. unions and the Amalgated Clothing Workers. Miss Hewitt’s passport has been approved by the American consul at Geneva, and she has been given a professor’s visa. The consular visa is legally supreme and the immigration authorities have no authority to go behind it. At most they only can assure tJ .mselve thaj the passport and visa are genutn . V kl All mt well until the authorities at Ellis island saw the letterhead of the Manumit school, with its labor connections. Then suspicion flared in the bosom of the authorities lest Miss Hewitt might not be a proper person to instruct young America. She was subjected to an inquisition. Among other questions; she was asked if she was “a Soviet." It was declared that she would be a destructive force In America. She is not a Communist. She has no destructive record. * The pretense on which her admission was denied was that she had not taught the required two years. Actually, she had taught more than two years. We have come to a pretty pass if Ellis -inland is to censor our teachers and our schools. \

Birth Control Progress in Europe According to old Paster Malthus. the most ominous and persistent enemy of the race is man’s ability to produce more offsprings than he well can take care of. Malthus believed that this menace of population pressure always would hover on the horizon to threaten the welfare of the race. The history of the last hundred years has confirmed Malthus’ assertion that prosperity can be assured only if we keep the population down to that level which can be supported in decency. What is the prospect that we shall learn how to do so and ultimately remove forever the specter of excess population? Such progress as is being made in America must take place under cover. V/e still have on our statute books barbarous laws against the dissemination of birth control knowledge even' by licensed physicians. In Europe there are promising developments, briefly described by Guy Irving Burch in Current History. Both birth and death rates seem to be on a steady decline, in the more civilized countries of Europe. In the thirteen European countries from which we have data, the birth rate in the period from 1919 to 1923 was 24 for 1,000 population; in that from 1924 to 1927 Jt.was 13.5.' In northern and western Europe the rate of population growth is declining and may become stationary, according to the views of Dr. Robert E. Kuczynski. In - Germany, Holland, the Scandinavian countries and England and Wales we find relative freedom in giving out birth control information. Germany gives contraceptive information in all permanent marriage stations. In Holland there are more than fifty birth control centers, which give out facts and instruction. The most interesting news comes through the researches of Dr. Karl Edin in Stockholm. It has been a stock argument of anti-birth-cohtrbllers that birth control will be practiced only by the well-to-da. Hence those who ought to have large families will be able and likely to have small ones. The poor will go on having flocks of children. Dr. Edin finds that in Stockholm such is not the result. Here birth control has been legal and in vogue long enough so that the lower classes have come to practice it very -widely. Asa result, the upper classes in Stockholm are having larger families than the lower classes. Thus the dream of the advocate of birth control and eugenics is being realized and a main argument of the bogey-mongers has been refuted. We now' may be on the biological path to contentment, peace, prosperity, and progress, insofar as these depend upon controlling the population in the interest of human welfare here and now. Just as the noise abatement committee had solved its major problems, along comes, announcement of the discovery of a' new musical instrument .which is a combination of the saxophone and bagpipe. A New York man who stole a dollar watch the other day was sentenced to from twehty to forty years in prison.

Now that whisky and brandy have been approved as necessary medicinal agents in the practice of dentistry', it won’t merely be a figure of speech hereafter to refer to a. person suffering with toothache as having a swell time. , Tim c was when city folk flocked to the parks to escape the heat; now you'll find them in refrigerated movie houses. Congress, a news item says, has appropriated SIB,OOO to eradicate the Florida sand fly. What do they mean, Capone? The farmers seem ready to acknow-ledge that the fellow who wrote “it ain't goin’ to rain no more’’ was somewhat of a seer. As much as American pugilistic talent is to be deplored, w’e still have our Aimee McPherson. In spite of the turmoil in China, the office punster points out, they still manage to keep coolies days. Women aie to wear skirts longer. And if the business depression continues they'll be wearing ’em longer than they expect.

REASON by “s CK

IF Governor Roosevelt of New York thinks seriouslyof running for President against Hoover In 1932, he must go after these crooked Tammany officials hammer and tongs. In fact, the open hostilitv of Tammany is indispensable to his success. a a a The Governor has only to turn a few pages ofhistory to learn that the quickest way to gain the affection of the Democrats of the nation is to twist; the Tammany tiger’s tail. It might beat him for re-election as Governor, but he must take that chance, if he looks longingly toward Washington. a a a SAMUEL J. TILDEN became national leader of his party because he prosecuted Tweed of Tammany. and. drove its crooks out of public life and some- of them into the penitentiary. And Grover Cleveland's greatest claim to party popularity was Tammany hatred of him. a a a He was renominated in 1892 over the most bitter opposition of Tammany, that great orator, Bourke Cochran, launching a never-to-be-forgotten protest, but the delegates felt as did General Bragg of Wisconsin. who said of Cleveland: “We love him for the. enemies he has made!’’ a a a So it should not take Franklin Roosevelt long to grab the old shotgun off the wall and give Tammany both barrels. We believe he will do it, not only for the sake of expediency, but for the better reason that he is a gentleman of the highest character. a a a HOW it must delight the heart of A1 Smith to look upon the discomfiture of the political organization which opposed him in the last election, for it was Tammany which stuck the dagger into its former idol because he caused the investigation of certain Tammanyites who later went to the penitentiary. ■.a a a Mr. Smith will be able to contemplate Mayor Walker's present embarrassment without a complete nervous breakdown, for he and the mayor love eaeh pther almost as much as Raskob and Tom Heflin. In public they hand each ocher the massaging cream, but in private they say it with daggers. This is the way of politics; it always has and it always will be; it is a thing of hatred and jealousy. They begm to hate each other when they get into politics and they stop.it when they die; that is, the ones do.

SCIENCE —BY DAVID DIETZ—

Scientists Foresee Day When Homes Will Be Lighted, Meals Cooked and Diseases Treated by Radio. WHILE radio fans are anticipating television sets within the next three cr four years, experts sh the field are looking forward to even greater wonders. Dr. Willis R. Whitney, director of the General Electric research laboratories, predicts that the day is not far distant when homes will be lit by radio, meals will be cooked by radio, and pain and disease treated by radio: Whitney's opinion deserves careful consideration. He is head of one of the world’s most marvelous scientific institutions. Two of his assistants are Dr. Irving Langmuir and Dr. W. D. Coolidge. Langmuir is one of the world's greatest authorities on the electron and the inventor of many types of radio tubes. Coolidge is the inventor of the X-ray tube now in general use. Whitney, also a vice-president of the General Electric Company, bases his opinion upon researches being carried out with the new short wave high power vacuum tube at General Electric laboratories in Schenectady. He sets forth his views in a report- to the Engineering Founda- ! tion. - - •' non Cooking by Radio A RADIO tube having a wave length of six meters (approximately eighteen feet) has been used in the experiment. As radio fans will realize, this is an extremely .short wave. Most broadcasting is done on waves ranging from '2OO to 600 meters in length. This new tube generates short waves of such intensity that pieces i of metal, left lying near it become | red hot as a result of the radio waves passing through them. I Ah . electric light bulb or . neon | tube lights up brilliantly when left near the radio tube. Medical tests show that the blood temperatures of persons in the vicinity of the tube rises to 100 degrees ... Fahrenheit . within fifteen minutes. Demonstrations -of cooking by radio have also been made in the G. E. laboratory. “A wire was suspended over a table,” Dr. Whitney says, “at a distance of a few feet from the radiating aerial, which was a copper bar about ten feet long. “A sausage in a glass container suspended from the end of the wire was soon cooked. Likewise an egg was ‘fried’ in this contained, and an apple spitted on the end of the wire was baked thoroughly in a short time. “With suitable changes of utensils. cookies were baked and water boiled. There were no flames or other visible evidences of heat accompanying the cooking.” tt n - - ■ For Medical Use vacuum tube from which X this weird power emanated is two feet long and five inches in diameter. Quite different applications of this tube have been made under investigation. “For generations heat has been used to alleviate pain and cure some diseases. Recently medical research has indicated that fever temperatures in the human body are desructive to certain disease germs “Artificial production of fever is not easy, for man has very efficient body temperature-regulating devices built into his system by nature,” Dr. Whitney says. “Means for creating feverish conditions—hot water baths, highly heated atmasphere injections—have been clumsy, not subject to close control, or otherwise objectionable. “The new vacuum tube affords a highly satisfactory instrument, so far as the research has progressed. Medical researches to learn more of its curative possibilities and the technic for its proper use are being conducted. “For therapeutic purposes the apparatus is like a short-wive transmitter, with the exception that the energy is concentrated between two plates of aluminum 28 by 18inches, an eighth of an inch thick, each covered with two slightly larger hard rubber plates.’’

COOPER’S BIRTH ' Sept. 15 ON Sept. 15. 1789, James Fennimore Cooper, American novelist, whose works critics say entitle him to rank as one of the greatest literary geniuses of America, was born at Burlington, N J., the eleventh of twelve children. In his second year he was taken to Cooperstown, Otsego county, N Y.. whqre his father built a large estate. His boyhood was spent on the frontier of civilisation, surrounded by forests and the menace of raids by the Indians. After attending a village school, young Cooper received private instruction Uom an Albany pastor. When he was 14, Cooper went to Yale, but was so much more interested in the out of doors that he was expelled in his third year for neglecting, his studies. He then decided to become a sailor in the merchant service. After six years of this experience, he settled in Westchester county, Naw York, his wife’s home, where he be-" gan to write. His second work, “The Spy,” at once secured for him a place in the first rank of novelists. But what is regarded as his highest achievement *s his “The Last of the Mohicans." Famed as he was. cooper personally was hated in this country because of his indiscreet remarks in Europe about the American people, “With fewer crying faults,” one writer has said, “he would in all likelihood have been our greatest author." Which is the last United States battleship to be pnt in commission? The West Virginia, . What were the theme songs of “Alias Jimmy Valentine" and “In Old Arizona?" - . . The theme song of “Alias .Timmy Valentine” was “Love Dreams’’ and “My Tonia” was the theme song of “In Old Arizona." What do the names lone and Augusta mean? lone, delight; Augusta, exhalted.

DAILY HEALTH SERVICE Baby Mixing Is Unusual Happening

BY DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor, Journal e! the American Medical Association, and of Hygeta-, the Health Magazine, . A T least once in every three or ■C*- four years the public is startled by publicity relative to the change that the infants bom under hospital conditions have been confused through some error in hospital technic and that the parents have been presented at their departure from the institution with the offspring of some other family. . It is doubtful that this accident ever occurs in any modern hospital, since the methods devised for controlling the situation are as sound as any human achievement. The method most frequently used involves the writing of the mother's name on a. piece of adhesive tape, which then is fastened to the back of the baby.

OF LATE there have been rumblings of civic discontent about corruption. Soon there will be talk of fusion and reform But the progress of reform in every large American city is always difficult. .. .To some extent the reformers are at fault. They have not fought sufficiently against the popular misconception that honest government is in some way .tied up with gloomy government. Tammany and similar political organizations have succeeded in getting into the mind of the average voter a curious, belief that there can be no freedom in personal conduct without laxness in administration. People would rather have honest judges than crooked ones, but some will hesitate if they feel, however mistakenly, that they must choose 'between curfew and corruption. UnJ til almost the last'gasp men and women prefer circuses to bread. BBS Not His Admirers EVEN his most ardent admirers ' would hardly assert that Jimmy Walker is a capable executive. His derelictions hi the matter of time alone disqualify him as the manager of that huge business enterprise which w T e call the City of New York. And yet I am not certain that if any system of recall were established here the citizens of Greater New York would forthwith vote Jimmy out because of his palpable personal ineptitude and the amazing mountain of scandal which has grown up during his administration. The franchise is exercised in many cases upon the most trivial considerations. Mayor Walker can count upon certain followers who support him for no better reason than that he smiles pleasantly in pictures, makes amusing wisecracks and delivers suitable speeches to channel swimmers and golf champions. I do not mean that human beings in New York or elsewhere are callous. I think better of us mortals than that. A corrupt ring in any city can be overturned the minute its misdeeds are dramatized. We. the people, are not heartless but merely unimaginative.

I have promised not to campaign in this column, but for the life of me I don’t see how plain, downright dishonesty can be a partisan question. I don’t see why men and women of all political faiths can fail to rise up and rebuke Tammany by whatever means seem most appropriate to them. But let me warn the leaders of all camps not to fall into the trap where so many reformers have perished, Honesty and efficiency can wear just as bright and smiling a face as ever graced a dapper mayo: in any city.

M. E. Tracy SAYS:

Mismanagement at Washington of Foreign Relations Far More Serious Than Mistakes Made in Domestic Affairs. AMERICANS are not as Jubilant as one might expect over the victory of the Enterprise in the first international cup race. Asa matter of fact, a vast majority would like to see Sir Thomas Llpton go home with the cup. This frame of mind deserves more attention than it has received. It augurs well for the future, that a great nation can lay aside its patriotic prejudices to the extent, of wishing a grand old sportsman well. If we can be broadminded in the matter of yacht rfces, Olympic meets and tennis tournaments, the time may come when we will find it possible to approach other and more serious problems in a similarly Intelligent way. One hopes so. at least. Otherwise the future would be dark indeed. Fault With U. S. IF the eruption of 1914 proved how difficult it was for a country to remain neutral in the face of a major conflict. The depression of 1930-proves that, it is equally difficult for a country to escape the effect of general conditions Making every allowance for what the tariff boost, the Wall Street slump, and other purely national occurences may have contributed to hard times and unemployment, it still is impossible to believe that we would be as bad off as we are if things had not gone wrong in many other countries. The changes are that the administration at Washington has contributed far more to our difficulties by its management of foreign relations than by any mistake it has made in handling domestic affairs, even though its mistakes may have been'many and serious. As William Graham, president of the British Board of Trade, points out in his address before the assembly of the League of Nations, the ■whole World is-suffering because of a curiously sudden and inconsistent outreak of nationalistic feeling aIK over the map. t 808 Barriers Block Trade IN spite of all the lip music about peace, humanity is faced With such a network of tariffs and other artificial barriers to trade as never was surpassed, if Indeed ever equaled, in all history. Though professing willingness to co-operate on the broadest lines and though sinking a battleship now and then to prove that the spirit is genuine, most of the great nations are racing one another to see which can do the worst job of spoiling trade. And we Americans are leading the line, not only with an unconscionable tariff bill, but with an attitude which, though couched in beautiful and sympathetic language, tells the rest of the world it can go to hell, provided we get ours. 808 Blunder After Blunder AS Graham. declares, the doctrine of protection, pot only, has ■.. become so popular that tire world is likely to see still higher tariffs, but it was the United States that set the example.. Worse still, it was the United States that insisted on debt settlements which have accomplished nothing -sc-, distinctly , as to freeze Internationa, credit, and. retard the recovery of international trade.— ... Splendid isolation, as a political slogan, while our growing manufacturers need increased abroad, refusal to Sit at the world’s council table, though we insist on an international bank to make sure that other nations hand us the money just as fast as they get it from Germany; interfering with the domestic affairs of Latin American countries in the name of a doctrine which was designed for their , protection against just such interference on the parts of other countries who wonder that we find ourselves at the end of a blind alley or that our people should be suffering in consequence? B B B Results Far Reaching NOR Is the misfortune wholly a* matter of dollars and cents. Hospital Commissioner Greeff of New York attributes the substantial increase of mental patients to the effect of worry over unemployment. People out of work face more than? idleness. If some of them get sick, others get into mischief. Who doubts that racketeers have gained much added support in the'presence of hunger and want? How can rusty screws be removed from castings?
