Page Three THOMAS TELLS HIS IDEAS FOR AIDING JOBLESS Editor's note: What have Amer ica's political dissenters to offer the nation as a way out of our present economic dilemma? For years, in good times and in bad, they have raised their voices against the existing order. What do they think is wrong now? The United Press has interviewed sev eral of them, including Norman Thomas, H. L. Mencken, John Dos Passes and Max Eastman, and presents their ideas and opinions in a series of articles, the first of which follows. BY a ALLEN SMITH. Staff Correspondent The United Press NEW YORK--If Norman Thomas, head of the Socialist party in Amer ica, were bead of the government and had $5,(KX>,000,000 placed in his hands, he would split it three ways for spending. "Three billions," he said several days ago here, "would go into a program of housing in the crowded metropolitan areas. One billion would be spent on reforestation. The fifth billion would go into a federal program of road building, bridge construction, and such other federal enterprises as would pro vide Immediate work for as many men as possible." Only Background Drab. Tall and spare, Thomas sat in a drab office in Nineteenth st. The rough pine floor was bare and his books occupied a somewhat rickety series of shelves back of his chair. The desk probably could be had for S2O in a second-hand store. This colorless background, however, only served to accentuate the personal ity of the man, who next fall, may noil the largest Socialist vote in the City's history. "What will come out of it all?" he repeated the question. "One of four things, catastrophe, Fascism, Communism or Socialism. One of the four is inevitable. Capitalism is irrevocably doomed." The picture of catastrophe ahead is not a theoretically fancy, he ex plained. It can come, he believes, fn the form of a new World war--a war the like of which mankind has never dared to imagine. Indian Summer of Capitalism. "Fascism." he said, "is only a kind of Indian summer f c ipital ism which the rise of an American Mussolini, with the aid of certain great industrialists and a dema gogic appeal to the little man, might bring to pass in this coun try. "Or it can be Communism which, by Its own creed, can only come out of catastrophe and which, logically enough, will require the most rigor ous dictatorship to put into effect." There remains Socialism. "Socialism," Thomas defined, "be lieves that there is still time to im prove and extend rather than to scrap democracy." Can Stave Off Catastrophe. "The man who is wise," he con tinued, "is tempted to one of two philosophies--either the philosophy of Spengler, who holds that the process of decay of civilization is inevitable; or the philosophy of Lenin, which is the philosophy of salvation under the dictatorship of a working class party, born of the inevitable catastrophe to which cap italism hurls us. "Both philosophies have truth. Neither has the whole, the inevita ble truth for America. We near Ihe end of an epoch but we may better emerge into the co-operative society by doing all that is in us to stave off and minimize catastrophe. We must improve democracy rather 4ian embrace dictatorship. The drift to disaster has not yet brought us to inevitable cataclysm. There is still time. That's why I'm a Socialist, and not a Communist." Would Eliminate Slums. He has always been aggressively concerned over the housing problem in American cities and he believes circumstances are favorable now for a huge building program de signed to eliminate tenement and slum districts. Money spent in im proving homes, he reasons, is money spent on the future of our civiliza tion, and money spent to employ many men who are now idle. Reforestation, he feels, is another important problem. "There are immense areas of land." he explained, "that cannot be farmed, yet they are splendid for forest land. If we invest in forests we invest wisely. Forests yield a positive return. The land lies there, but what is being done about it? Wouldn't it be wise for ns to look ahead, beyond the imme diate problem at hand?"

Ulcers will not thrive if the blood is brought back to its normal alkaline condition. Acidity and a toxic condition of the blood are responsible for most of our ills.

The obstructed bile backs up and the skin takes on a yellow tinge. In such cases the juice of a lemon in a glass of hot water, taken twice a day, orange juice for breakfast and supper, and a large plateful of raw, green vegetable salad at noon, will tend to bring relief. Persevere with the treatment for a week or two; longer if necessary. Enemas also will help. If the vomiting is accompanied with pains in the back, there may be gravel or stone forming in the kidneys. Flaxseed tea will be soothing in such cases. Put two ta blespoonfuls of flaxseed in a quart of water and boil for 10 minutes. Then add nearly a tablespoonful of honey and a tablespoonful of lemon juice. Take a cupful, seeds and all, three times a day. Be careful to avoid salt and all high protein foods. Half a glass of celery and parsley juice combined twice a day; also eat plenty of raw green vege table salads. No pastry, white bread or white sugar. Vomiting is sometimes caused by irritation in certain nerve centers, as in sea sickness. Eat sparingly, and then rely only on fruits, nuts and vegetables and take an enema nightly for some time before taking a voyage, if generally subject to sea sickness. People subject to fainting or to migraine headaches may also have vomiting spells, caused by irritation of nerves, poor blood supply and congestions following improper eat- PURE ^Lart to ^vnhfi ■v'l- t: u V>» jp .s X THE MILWAUKEE LEADER, WEDNESDAY, MAY 2X 193? ing. Live on fruits only for a few days and take an enema nightly. Vomiting may be due to accumu lations of uric acid in the blood. Use no meats, eggs, or old cheese, or dried peas or beans in such cases. Fruit juices and raw vege table juices will be helpful. Foods that leave putrefying end products always more or less poison the system. Then there are colics, gas pains, constipation, A-omitings, fevers, all kinds of distress.

Mr. Hillquit complied with the following statement: BY MORRIS HILLQUIT. Chairman of the National Executive Committee of the Socialist Party. Written for The United Press. The Socialist aim is to democra tize and nationalize the industrial life of the country. Today we have a political de mocracy with an industrial oli garchy. Under our constitution the political government is vested in the people as a whole and our citizens would revolt at any sug gestion that the right to vote, to hold office and to make laws be confined to a special privileged class. But we have abandoned the vastly more vital economic sphere to a limited group of capitalists. We have permitted them to mo nopolize our land and natural re sources and the whole organized machinery for the production and supply of the necessaries of our daily existence. We are politically free but eco nomically dependent. The essence of the Socialist program is the proposal that the great industries of the country, will develop a wonderful personal ity, and feel that life is well worth living. one by one. be taken out of pri vate ownership and turned over to the people to be operated by ap propriate public agencies, for the common use and benefit. This program, of course, implies a radical reorganization of the industries on the basis of planned and steady production with ade quate guarantees against bu reauocracy, incompetence and graft Kentucky Miners 9 Trials Open May 31 HARLAN, Ky.--Preparations are now being made for the trials of the 40 miners who were indicted in the death of Jim Daniels and three other gun thugs in the battle of Evarts, May 5, 1931.
