COMMENI
ON MEN
AND THINGS
By The Spectator
America is the world's great de
mocracy, you hear people say. It
is not a democracy; a democracy
would be a government by the peo
ple themselves: by the people di
rectly, without representatives.
Then someone else says that Ameri-
hke pellagra, scurvy, rickets and!
beri-beri were caused by lack of
vitamins and could be prevented Or,
cured by eating foods containing
them. The first vitamin extracts
came entirely from the natural
sources. But since then, it’s been
found more feasible to make vita
mins synthetically — mainly from
chemicals derived from coal tar.
Today most vitamins are made that,
i way. Many of the big vitamifl
dealers concentrate on selling vita-:
mins for use only on doctors’ pre
scriptions. And doctors contend
they should be consulted by would-j
be vitamin takers because indi-
idual needs vary so widely.
Among the major vitamins now j
ca is a land of laws, not of men. _ - . .
But that is only half true; our Leg- put up in pill form, Vitamin A, the
islature—enacts—Statutes—and they
are law, but they are only a part of
the law. A very great part of our
law is a hang-over from the days of
aid to fhild growth and night vis
ion, is found naturally in fish liv
ers. Vitarrpn B-l, the weapon
against beri-beri cind hangovers, al-

Those provisions are in plain andi molasse^. - ’
clear English, but we continue an 1 * * *
attitude of indifference. America should develop her
strength at home. As a great coun
try, able to defend ourselves against
any foe, we should have a moral in
fluence throughout the world that
would make us in very truth the
mighty Nation under God which
Id lead humanity. I emphasize
In the National field we havei
such ridiculous perversion as the
quibble and squabble over the in
terpretation of the Constitution.
Here we in Sbuth Carolina have
waited months for a decision by
the Supreme Court of the United 1{1 Jeacl nu
States. Is the matter one of weight of our strength in ma-
merely law, pure and simple? B>t^ e rial, physical, preparation; and I
