Or Dollar Devaluation
New York (Ap)—This country
has the choice between radical
deflation or further devaluation of
the dollar, Dr. Franz Pick, inter¬
national monetary analyst, told
the Trade Relations Council Wed
nesday.
He contended the U. S. dollar
is a “second class dollar,’ having
lost value at the rate of 8 percent
* year for the past two decades.
The 100 per cent purchasing
•power of the 194O dollar is now
between 46 and 47 cents, he said.
Dr. Pick forecast a decline to
42 or even below 40 cents “if we
do not practice deflation and if we
'return to low rales of interest in
-order to create plentiful and
cheap credit condtions.”
Referring to the recent increase
in the discount rate to 4 per cent,
Pick recommended it “he raised
to 5per cent and stay at that level
for a long time, at least until we
have neutralized any inflationary
tendencies of the administration.”

WAS LENIN RIGHT?
Reports from Washington, indication have late¬ of
ly given the country an Administration
how seriously the
views the fiscal problem. That problem,
it is clear, is second in the President’s
mind only to the problem of avoiding
a third world war.
And the President and his advisors
are not alone in this. All manner of
qualified people, in and out of the gov¬
ernment, are convinced that unless
government spending can be curbed,
the budget balanced, and inflation
checked, we may be heading for a
disaster that could destroy us as a
nation, and leave the free world, which
depends so largely on American
strength for survival, wide open to
communism. The Kremlin would win
the ultimate victory without firing a
shot.
This, in fact, is what Lenin, archi¬
tect of Soviet communism, expected.
Long ago, he wrote that capitalism
would destroy itself from within. What
government does to the people’s money he
and savings will determine whether
was right or wrong.

ALCOHOLISM
By Vemelle Fox, M.D.
What is alcoholism, anyway? Fif¬
teen or twenty years ago it was an
almost new word — considered by
moat as a fancy term for “drunken
bums.” It was certainly not a “polite”
word. It was usually either whispered
or said with the kind of sneer reserved
for dirty word*. It was surely not con¬
sidered a medical term for an illness.
Drunks were drunks and they would
always be — they didn’t want to
change. that if “real”
Everybody knew could a his self
man wanted to, he use
control or will power and just “handle
his likker like a MAN.” “If a man
loved his family enough he wouldn’t
drink.” “If he would just go to Church
and pray he’d be all right.” “If he
had any respect for his friends and
wanted his job he wouldn’t drink.”
Yet, we all knew “drunks” who were
“a man,” loved their families, went to
Church and honestly prayed, respected
their friends and jobs and still they
got drunk — everytime they took a
drink, in fact. They just couldn’t han¬
dle the stuff and wouldn’t leave it
alone. either weak

old human reaction of “if you don’t
condemn it” no longer
worked.
Gradually we began to accept the
fact that alcoholism is an illness. That
somehow the alcoholic is ill and that
recovery is possible. That’s about as
far as we’ve come. There’s still a great
deal of confusion as to just what this
illness is. What goes into making for
addiction to alcohol ? Certainly it akes

be addicted to a specific chemical with¬
out the chemical. Perhaps, that’s all
there is to it — perhaps. Several glar¬ We
ing facts say that it isn’t (1.)
outlawed alcohol and it didn’t change
the situation with individuals already
addicted to alcohol. They developed
numerous ingenious methods of obtain¬
ing alcohol and continued the same
drinking patterns. (2.) Only about 7%
of the individuals who drink become
addicted to alcohol. The others, some
with heavy exposure, never become ad¬
dicted. (3.) In other cultures where
alcohol was or is unknown, a small
percent of individuals become addicted
to other chemicals the actions of which
are similar to alcohol. When you look
at the total picture it’s obvious that
there is more involved than alcohol
and will power. Discussions of the
moral problems involved are the source
of much of the confusion about the
illness. In this area many people have
difficulty keeping straight in their
minds whether they’re thinking of the
problems of alcohol and drinking or
of the illness alcoholism. Our society
has some very serious problems about
drinking. One needs only to glance at
the paper to see it — drunk driving
teenage drinking and the rest. These
are serious problems hut usually quite
different, in development and in means
of control, from the problems of ad¬
diction to alcohol.
Possibly, there’s a biochemical factor
that makes the alcoholic different. If
so, does it precede the exposure to
alcohol or only follow it? If such a
biochemical factor exists, it is yet to
be isolated. To date the individual who
has alcoholism checks out exactly like
all other individuals in the scientific
lab. major factors that
