(Last of a Series) WASHINGTON, Dec. 7—Sentiment aside, what would America and Britain get out of feeding Hitler’s victims at the risk of helping him? War—or even “aid to Britain short of war’—is no sentimental business, officials will tell you. The object is to smash the FoR enemy by fair means or foul. If |the innocent suffer, that is too |bad—but instead of worrying about ‘the poor. Belgians and Dufch, we {had better think about the inno- | cent British bomb victims. who are ‘depending on blockade to beat | Hitler. » | | This Government propaganda is useful at the moment, but it . | may be reversed by London and | Washington officials later. | | That is precisely what hap5 i pened: in the last war. First the : Le ritish Government refused to let Hoover relief through the blockade, using exactly the - Same arguments given today. But later it changed. It not only lifted the blockade to this extent, but actually coopers and helped foot the relief bill. ‘The reason was very practical—“sentiment” is a most powerful war weapon. If the Kaiser had known that, he would not have aroused American and world enmity and probably would not have lost the war. And if Hitler had not scorned “sentimentality,” the United States might be neutral today instead of a nonbelligerent ally of Britain. TA - | . ? - A Matter of Timing | Britain boasts that this is a war between brute force and democratic idealism. That is the way President Roosevelt figures it. The British Government knows it can not profess to fight for decency and democracy while continuing indefinitely to ref relief to the very Hitler victims it promises to liberate, ay then ne official opposition to the Hoover plan : The only explanation offered is that it is a question of timing. Thus London is trying to induce the United States to send {to Fascist Spain with the idea of

foo arousing sympathy and support there, Moreover, london has just let certain medicines get through to

_ Nazi-controlled Irance, to stimulate returning proBritish sentiment. ee ‘ = Maybe, therefore, Prime Minister Churchill will let American food through to Belgium, Holland and other occupied areas at the precise moment he thinks humantarianism will have the most effect. Many of the objections one hears in Washington are obvious smoke-screen, and will not prevent action if and when London is ready. For instance, such objections as these: . : ; . “The Hoover plan might involve us in war by risking destruction of American food ships.” Actually, Mr. Hoover is “asking for no.gifts, no Government appropriation, no use of American ships.” On the contrary, he says they can provide their own ships, and that— “The de-facto or fugitive governments of Finland, Holland, Belgium, Norway and Poland should finance such an organization with their resources in the United States and elsewhere, which are considerable.”

“Don’t Embarrass Churchill’

Another question asked, not too seriously, is whether the Hoover plan would not deprive us of money and food which should go into preparedness and American relief. No American appropriation is proposed by®Hoover; as for food supply, one of our chief ‘economic problems is the surplus above local relief distribution. Anyway, Canada and Latin Amer.ica are anxious to get rid of surpluses if we are not.

However misinformed the public may be regarding

the Hoover plan, Washington officials understand it , well, It is almost entirely a case of “don’t embarrass our London friends, don’t force Churchill’s hand.” Meanwhile the main official worry is to prevent growing pro-relief sentiment from turning into hostility toward Britain. That would endanger the proposed modification of the Neutrality and Johnson laws to permit helping Britain with money, ships and naval convoys. . Hence the suspicion—unconfirmed—that the President and Prime Minister may be saving European famine relief to trade for Congressional modification of our laws. One move would grease the other, For almost always American opinion has been susceptible to humanitarian appeals. When winter turns the threat of famine and pestilence into death, American opinion is apt to put relief opponents on the spot.

Inside Indianapolis (4nd “Our Town’)

Ig PROFILE OF THE WEEK: Judge Russell J. Ryan of Superior Court, who people say will never get very far in politics because he’s “too honest.” Judge Ryan is one of Indianapolis’ most personable men, a tugged six-footer of some 180 pounds, now in his | ‘middle forties. He has a deep, | resonant voice and his handsomely freckled face is neatly lined. The Judge is distinctly the country gentleman type with a fine Irish wit. He lives on his estate on Moore Road, a short distance from Traders’ Point and his favorite relaxation is putter“ing around, helping cut weeds or: transplanting trees and shrubs. He is devoted to his wife and | sons (Russell Jr. and John), and when the boys are- home from school, the family is practically unavailable even to close friends.

His Trousers Are Baggy

JUDGE RYAN |doesn’t like to eat .in restaurants where the crowds rare large or where there are “too _ many women.” | He prefers, instead, little hole-in-the-wall restaurants where he can dine on such delicacies as chicken livers or herring. He is wild about old-fashioned beans and he can eat them in one form or another three times a day. He never eats dessert. When it’s placed in front of him, he usually passes it along to someone who likes it. He usually wears English tweeds and herringbone suits and his trqusers usually are baggy at the knees and his shoes generally have traces of mud on the heels from his tramping about his estate. He wears an old felt hat which his friends say must be all of 10 years old. | | "In his youth he was quite an athlete (he played end for Shortridge and Wabash) and he used -to be a pretty good golfer although he hasn’t played much recently. | 4 >

Washington

WASHINGTON, Dec. 7—Not since the war began has so mucH confusion and uncertainty existed here. The need for clearing up policy matters and for strengthening defense. work is pressing. Furthermore the public also has been left to nurse its own | bewilderment as to what the Ad- | ministration is thinking, It is || left exposed to propaganda of all { kinds which-only adds to the con- || fusion. This is reflected in mail that comes in. The need of a |, fireside chat soon seems indi- ' cated. , Until President Rposevelt returns and takes hold of the situation, the floundering is likely to |. continue. Perhaps he is taking WB time out: to think by breaking Bl away from the pressure of daily oe | | appointments and from the con- * flicting advice, He has been under long and heavy strain. At times, of late, friends have found him’ rather short of temper, and on the whole quite noncommittal to those like Lord Lothian who have been looking to him for some indication as to what our policy might be from here on. “i We are .in a pause with regard to Britain. Off- . eials are canvassing the possibilities of help in Britain’s critical shipping difficulties. They are warily exploring her case for financial help. But financial help, while an explosive political question, is of far less importance at the moment than material help. 5 eg gif The British Problem : J To what: gxient is Britain fighting our battle? How much defense material are we justified in sending her at the expense of our own rearmament? Do we throw in our chips heavily so long as Britain is * fighting, or has the time come to hoard them on this oe? i Se iose are fundamental policy questions, and early decisions must be made. ? * .

Courtroom Scenes:

HE IS THE IDEAL judge with the true judicial temperament. There are no monkey-shines in his court and many lawyers think he has a tendency to be a little tod firm.

But be that as it may, the lawyer who goes into his court unprepared for trial and tries to interpose technicalities needs Heaven’s help because Judge Ryan, at one time one of the best actors in the Dramatic Club, has the ability to put on a great “anger” show. : His face grows red and the thunder of his voice fills the courtroom. But, often, the Judge is having a hard +time keeping back the grin as his quaking victim tries to sneak out of the courtroom. He has the courage of his convictions and he stirred up quite a row in Washington in 1937 when he threw up his post as assistant to the general counsel of the U. S, Internal Revenue Bureau because he didn’t agree with the views of the Bureau chieftains.

A Happy Man

HE HAS OFTEN been mentioned by believers in good government as a possible Governor candidate. But the truth is that Russell Ryan is anathema to machine politicians becduse he, too, believes in good government and he’d fire his best friend if he found him playing politics on the people’s time. . Judge Ryan, himself, is just as happy being judge. He likes to wander through the stores, looking at this and that and talking to the clerks and he’ll spend an hour buying a pair of $1.95 overalls. About once a week he goes to the butcher shop and puys a lot of suet for the score of bird feeding stations he has on his property and generally practices: what he believes in—the simple ways of life. He thinks that anyone with a good steady job ought to be happy. : He is.

defense. A hurried start was necessary. The whole country was caught flat-footed and the important thing was to start the wheels turning, even at the risk or gaing into the program with a loose and unperfected organization. - But now a good deal shoveled out—and some of it very loosely because of the pressure for speed and the lack of organization. Many propositions that come in have tricks in them. A proposal for a certain commodity drew a high bid of $298,000; after an investigation, the top bid was pulled down to $48,000. The bidders explaihed that they had misunderstood the specifications.

More Power for Knudsen?

Donald Nelson, co-ordinator of procurement, has saved the Government much'money by spacing orders to take advantage of seasonal slumps in clothing trades. But he is driven hard now with priority problems, and a whole staff of Donald Nelsons is urged in some quarters. ; Some in the defense organization think production could be speeded up if the President gave William S. Knudsen more power to go out as his personal representative .and work in the ‘field with a flying squadron of production experts. The whole question of prices needs attention. Wholesalers and manufacturers are boosting prices on retailers, blaming it on war orders, yet the Defense Cominission has been indifferent about tying in the retailers to help police prices. The danger of price spiraling is a real one that threatens Government and civilians alike. Is the Government going to encourage plant expansion at the risk of having excess capacity later, or discourage that and resort to rationing at the tight spots? Everyorie in Washington has his own idea, and all over town are these conflicts of policy or uncertainties a¢ to what the policy should be. The time for shaking down much of this confusion is at'hand, but little can be done until President Roosevelt puts his men to work at it with an understanding of wha they are to drive at. j

The water and electric light plants are municipally owned, which means, they tell me, good lighting for the streets.

Hitler's downfall would only be possible if he made manifest mistakes and suffered manifest defeats that produced doubts of his superlative quality. Only if he was obviously leading Germany to destruction could a coup.d’etat be carried out without producing sanguinary civil wars. A coup implied a nucleus of power which could challenge the party. Without such a nucleus, the armed # forces of the party could crush any rising. A second . consideration was whether the process of destruction of the regime from within, of its self-destruction, could be hastened. The economic situation was not - sufficient for this: the regime might yet vegetate for years. But suppose Hitler were brought .into. a completely hopeless situation in foreign affairs—would he not then make mistake after mistake, and, once he had lost his self-assur-ance, end by completely losing his head? The man’s whole temperament made him only able to carry on with his policy so long as he continued to have unshaken faith in himself. : ” ” 2

HERE were some honorable open opponents of the regime in ‘Germany. The party very quickly made an end of them. It was a vain sacrifice to come out into the open. All that remained possible was underground opposition.

ADVANGE SEEN INGANGER FIGHT

Young Wisconsin Doctor Reports on OintmentSurgery Method.

MADISON, Wis., Dec. 7 (U. P.)— A young University of Wisconsin surgery instructor announced today

that he had experimented successfully in treatment of certain types of external cancer with a combination of ointment and surgery under microscopical control. Dr. Frederic E. Mohs, 30, reported in a paper for the Western Surgical Association meeting at Topeka, Kas., that his chemosurgery methods of removing skin and accessible cancers had been effective in 93 per: cent of 440 tests. He said he considered the treatment capable of saving the lives of “nearly all” sufferers from accessible cancer. He estimated that 25,000 persons a year die of external cancer.

Fishbein Interested

the university zoology department under whom Dr. Mohs had conducted research, described the findings as “the greatest advancement the treatment of external cancer has had in 25 years.” From Chicago, Dr. Morris Fishbein, editor of the Journal of the American Medical Association, informed Dr. Mohs that he was “watching the work with great interest.” Dr. Mohs is a member of the Wisconsin and American Medical associations. | : : He stressed the importance of surgery and warned that treatment by chemicals alone was “practice of quacks.” He uses a chemical Z-108-A to destroy cancerous tissues under delicate microscopic control, without which he said the treatment would be ineffective. : Cross-sections of tissue are examined by microscope, he said, to reveal where dise tissue exists and where treatment must be continued.. Dr. Mohs said ‘he would have “lost patients daily if he had not employed the microscopic con-

trol.” gs . Reports Success

He said he had treated successfully cancer of the ear, eyelid, face, mouth, lip, nose, nasal sinuses, gen-ito-urinary areas and trunk :and limbs of the body. Cases were not considered successfully treated until’ the patient showed a minimum 12month period without recurrence. Dr. Mohs emphasized that chemosurgery cannot remove cancer of the lung; the stomach or other internal organs, including the brain, and that he had not “definitely determined” its value in treatment of cancer of the breast. : rn

There have been subtle plans to induce Hitler to compromise himself beyond recovery. But these: have failed for two reasons. His riskiest enterprises have succeeded, and in doing so have turned into his greatest triumphs. In ‘the second place, for Hitler to get into difficulties involves Germany’s doing the same. The only thing left to do is to leave Hitler to bear full and exclusive personal responsibility for the war defeat and destruction that must inevitably come. Hitler never left his supporters in any doubt that war must come, however much he might try to prevent it. “We shall not be spared the great testing-time,” he said in my presence at a leaders’ conference, “We must be pre=pared for the hardest struggle that any nation has ever had to face. Only through this test of endurance can we become ripe for the dominion to which we are called. It will be my duty to carry on this war regardless of losses.
