(I- S- STAND FOR
NEUTRALITY IS
URGEDJOLONS
WASHINGTON, March 18. VP>—
Bernard M. Baruch, who says that
I he “present disturbed condition of
the world” the United States should
"define dearly’’ its neutrality, was
called back before the senate muni
tions ootnmlttee Thursday for more
testimony cm how he helped con
duct the last war and what he would
do against the coming of any fu
ture conflict.
With many demands being voiced
on Capitol Hill that the United
States keep clear of the Euroepan
crisis, the subject of neutrality is
being pondered by many legislators.
The senate committee was expected
to ask Baruch u> elaborate cm his
brief comment Wednesday.
First, however, the white-haired
financier was to go on with his story
of how the World War Industries
board, of which he was chairman,
sought to curb the rising price of
oopper, vital military metal.
Meanwhile, tlie house has passed
three measures to Increase Ameri
can Naval strength. They authorise
the navy to proceed with a $38,000,
000 program to build up Pacific
naval bases; provide 1.000 extra of
ficers for fighting ships; assure the
navy enough aviators for an expand
ing air force.
The bills, passed late Wednesday,
now go to the senate.
Baruch, testifying Wednesday,
agreed in general with the plan of
the munitions committee to set up a
taxing system to “pay as you fight.’’
But he was not enthusiastic about
the idea of conscripting industrial
Ista as proposed by John T. Flynn,
economist-adviser to the committee.

The statement about .manufac
turing munitions was made after
Nye had referred to the removal of
the Blue Eagle from the Colt Man
ufacturing company. He said he was
told the war department still would
give the firm orders.
“Do you see a way of meeting a
condition like that?'* Nye asked.
“Yes, the government will have to
do that kind of manufacturing it
self." Baruch said.
“Manufacture would give us a
yardstick on costs.” he added.
•When I saw the criticism about
his war time financial transactions."
Byrnes said. *1 felt It necessary to
state the facts of the case.”
He added he was chairman of a
special deficiency committee of the
house appropriations committee dur
ing the war and knew in detail all
the transactions concerning Baruch.
He related that Baruch had fin
anced a mission going to Europe to
learn if any American goods were
being diverted by the allies from
military purposes to commercial
purposes.
“Baruch paid expenses of the
commission out of his own pocket,
amounting to 135.000.’’ Byrnes said,
aoding that the financier declined
reimbursement from the treasury,
although the cast saved the United
States "many millions of dollars.'

“ REGULATED HELP*
WILL REALLY HELP
THE BOWELS
It’s hard to improve on Nature!
Leaves of senna produce a natural
laxative. No man-made medicines
have ever surpassed its gentle and
helpful action on the bowels.
It works so nicely for the delicate
system of a child, many doctors urge
mothers to give r\o other laxative.
Even- mother should know about
elixir of senna, and how easy it is
to obtain, anywhere, in a delicious
tasting fruity syrup that contains
just the right amount for children's
use. California Syrup of Figs is
what you ask for—at any drugstore.
A little of this syrup will relieve
a child’s constipation overnight and
won’t upset a six-month-old baby.
If you have a child who has
"bilious spells" which cathartics
help for only a day, try California
Syrup of Figs. Get the real Cali
fornia brand, giving him gradually
reduced doses, till the bowels are
moving regularly and thoroughly
without any help at all!
The secret oj safer relief from
constipation is reduced dosage.
The action of a liquid laxative like
Syrup of Figs can be regulated,
because you can regulate tne dose.
That’s why doctors approve this
form of help. And why mothers
who once try it simply refuse to
Sve their children anything else.
ruggists say that the sale of this
natural laxative is increasing by
leaps and bounds.
It isn’t strange that California
Syrup of Figs helps sluggish boys
and girls, and Has made their
mothers so enthusiastic.
Next Odd Fact: Oddest use of Sand; Egyptians Swallowed it for a Laxative.
