Wallace Says i
;iWall Street Huns
Administration”
NEW YORK, (£») — Henry A.
Wallace last night told a crowd
estimated by police at 18,000 that
“under the Republicans Wall
Street ran America; under the
present administration Wall Street
is all set to run the world.”
Wallace spoke at Madison
Square Garden, scene of his
speech a year ago tonight that pre
cipitated his dismissal as secre
tary of commerce. The meeting
was sponsored by Progressive Cit
izens of America.
The crowd cheered for several
minutes as the one-time vice pres
ident stepped to the rostrum. Hiss
es and boos followed his mention
of Herbert Hoover, defense secre
tary Forrestal and others he at
tacked.
As he did a year ago, Wallace
condemned the bi-partisan foreign
policy, asserting it “defends reac
tion in the name of freedom.” He
declared it is dominated by in
vestment bankers and military
men.
“Forty-six days after the death
of Franklin Roosevelt, Herbert
Hoover was welcomed at the
White House. Two years later it
is Hoover’s thinking which guides
our foreign policy,” Wallace said.
He said that Hoover's report to

Facts About
Tuberculosis
Tuberculosis follows war. Dur
ing war periods the death rate
from tuberculosis among the civil
ian population of fighting coun
tries rises sharply. After the first
World War, France was so seri
ously stricken with tuberculosis
that the Rockefeller Foundation
sent a special commission, com
posed of tuberculosis authorities
from this country, to aid in setting
up an effective anti-tuberculosis
campaign.
Rest is the treatment for tuber
culosis, whether the disease is in
the early or the advanced stage.
This means rest in the medical
sense, not merely a change of lo
cality or stopping work, but flat
rest, that is, absolute rest in bed.
Such rest gives the lungs a chance
to heal.

Rest heals tuberculosis as rest
heals any injured part of the
body. Complete bed rest spares the
lungs. That is why tuberculosis
patients are urged to go to bed
just as soon as the disease comes
to light.
Authorities now agree that cli
mate is no longer of primary im
portance in the treatment of tu
berculosis. With rest and compe
tent medical care the disease may
be cured in almost any climate.
With the onset of tuberculosis
there are no symptoms. Later its
danger signals are unexplained fa
tigue, loss of appetite, loss of
weight and a persistant cough.
High School Notes
(By Olaf Halvorson)
The freshman represent the
most balanced class in high school
with an equal number of boys and
girls. Naturally studious, this week
they appear unusually no because
the upper classmen receive free
transportation of their books by
the freshmen. Although it is an
extra burden to the freshmen, per
haps it makes the upper classmen
to question whether they always
take so many books home.
