Portugal Credit Seen as British Leverage in Europe
The Export-Import Bank approved a 5 million dollar credit to Portugal for railroad equipment. Critics argue the loan masks English influence, aiding Britain in wartime logistics and undermining Johnson act aims. They accuse Jesse Jones and the RFC of steering U.S. funds to Britain and France.

Balanced budgeting urged to restore economic confidence
Alfred P. Sloan warns that unchecked government spending mirrors a man earning $300 a month living beyond means. A heavy debt lowers purchasing power and taxes, eroding confidence and delaying growth. The nation must restore balance, or bankruptcy-like consequences will pass to future generations.

Chorus of Skeptics and Pollyannas in Modern Life
A fragmentary prose piece contrasts cheerful optimists with realistic citizens who confront misery. It calls out smug universal optimism used to publicize calm, urging brave action instead of passive hope.

Roosevelt third-term speculation stalls on constitutional rule
Washington dispatch notes that talk of Roosevelt with Farley LaGuardia or others as a 1940 ticket fails due to Article 12 limits on electors and the need for a president and vice president to come from different states. Names like Hopking and Douglas surface but offer no real political gain. Roosevelt’s control over the convention and the lack of viable alternatives keep the matter unsettled, with McNutt and Holt mentioned amid broader party tensions.

Aluminum hydroxide treatment for stomach ulcers proposed
Doctors Emery Jr and Rutherford of Boston report using colloidal aluminum hydroxide to treat gastric ulcers. The preparation neutralizes stomach acid, coats ulcers, and provides relief within 24 hours, without hindering digestion. Drip through nasal tube proved more effective than oral dosing, with rapid pain relief and no recurrence during treatment. Some objections cite constipation and bad taste, but overall results show substantial benefit for patients with high acid levels or nonresponsive ulcers.
