ment buy for the needy. The farmer at least has enough to eat, but poor town folk must do without.

ISDAY. JULY 21, i Gen. Johnson Says—
If Recovery Must Be Sacrificed For Reform, Latter Is Worthless, But* It Seems Both Are Possible,
ETHANY BEACH, Del, July 21.-—-A favorite Ade ministration argument is: “We are never going back to the terrible condition of the 1920s”—the hint being that we are so much better off now. But are we? If the argument means that we are never again going to permit the stock market to be run like a roulette wheel, with the banks using the people's money as its backer, it is a true bill. If it means that people through their Government are going to have morc to say about the operation of private economic empires of tremendous power, it is correct. If it means that the Government is never again going to permit tremendous unbalance against agriculture in relation to industry, it is obvious. If it means that National Government will go back to a policy of in= difference to human suffering, that also is true.
But this argument intends more—that third New Deal policies have tended to make our economic sys tem afford better living and more happiness and satisfaction to more people than it was turning out in the 1620s—and that is the precise reverse of trutn. n » n VEN in the crash year of 1929 the A. F. of L. esti mate of unemployment was only 1,864,000. It has never been less than 8,500,000 since 1932 and it has been as high as 13,700,000. It is perhaps 10,000,000 now, of whom only 25 per cent are on WPA relief and an indeterminate number on various doles and handouts. Here we are probably talking about the breadwinners for one-third of the population in distress— living from hand to mouth, with little prospect, progress or security. It can't possibly be argued that this relief out of public funds affords anything like the kind of living and satisfaction that this “third of a nation” had under private employment in the terrible Twenties. In addition to the unarguable decisiveness of all these cold statistics is a general atmosphere of uncertainty, insecurity and living on the edge of a vole cano, which pervades the whole population now to a far greater extent than it did in the Twenties. n on 5 HE truth is that this great forward five-year movement toward ‘recovery and reform” has been long on reform of principles but woefully lacking on recovery in practice. The aid it has given to suf=ferers has nowhere near covered their loss in well= being since the Twenties, and the number relieved is, at best, but a small fraction of equally deserving peo= ple who are not relieved at all. That raises the vital question of the whole probe lem. “Can't we have reform without sacrificing recovery?” If the answer to that is no, reform is worthless and sterile because millions would be better off with recovery. It seems perfectly absurd to say that that answer is no. If properly timed and balanced, there is no sufficient reason why we should not have all the pros=perity of the Twenties coupled with all the necessary reforms of the Thirties. It seems a fair criticism that the Administration hasn't made much effort to time and balance recovery with reform. Yet that is its real “economic problem No. 1,” unless the verdict is to be that it performed a perfect surgical operation— which killed the patient.

It deals with a civil war and espouses no side, except to point out eloquently the cruelty of wanton bombardments of civilian populations which take their toll chiefly among children and women. The Boston City Council has unanimously passed a motion asking Mayor Tobin to ban the film “Blockade.” He stands more lonely than the little group of Concord freemen who took their post at the rude bridge which arched the flood. And yet he is not quite alone, for he is backed by a great tradition. If he yields to the pressure a large New England city

Watching Your Health
By Dr. Morris Fishbein
HE very earliest physicians spoke of the importance of regulating the diet for health. Our real knowledge of food is, however, a matter of the last few generations. Today we have begun to understand the importance of the essential ingredients in a well-balanced diet. Far too many people fail to enjoy good health be= cause the food that they eat will not qualify as a nore mal diet. A normal diet means that the foods ine cluded provide suitable amounts of the substances that are known to be essential. The Council of Foods of the American Medical As« sociation has just made available a special report on the normal diet. The exact amounts of each of the essential food substances necessary for health have been determined by studying the food eaten by healthy people. We now know the amount of protein, calcium, phosphorus and other substances that each person should have each day. It is always well, however, to add 50 per cent over the minimum requirement in or der to provide a margin of safety. For example, the minimum amount of calcium that anyone ought to have in any day is 0.45 grams. Calcium is essential for the maintenance of the bones and the teeth, Therefore, a standard allowance for calcium is 0.7 grams each day for an adult. The standard daily allowance for a man or woman of 150 pounds who does a moderate amount of muscular work is protein 70 grams, total calories of about 3000 grams. Of course, the total amount of calories varies ace cording to the amount of work that the person does. Anyone doing strenuous labor may need 5000 calories a day, and very hard workers as much as 8000 calories a day. People who do not do manual work can satisfy all their xipeds for energy with 2500 calories per day.
