hospitals and sanatorla that will
check the ravages of this disease,
But more than these, the anti-tuber-
culosis workers are looking to health
insurance as an aid in promoting
periodic physical examinations in all
industries, which the National As
sociation for the Study and Proven
ton OF tuberculosis believes would
be one of the greatest preventive
measures that can be introduced in
this country.
At the present time, tuberculosis
is the greatest single cause of death
and 1t is also the most difficult OF
all diseases to detect. Under sys-
tenn of health insurance, which
would necessarily presuppose regu-
lar examinations at periodic intervals
of all workers. both the employer
and the employee, as well as the
state. would be interested to see that
this disease was discovered before ii
had developed too far.
The proposed bills provide for par
ticipation of the worker, the en-
ployer, and the state in the insur-
ance fund and also provides for the
adoption of the scheme to already
existing benefit agencies under state
supervision. The health insurance
laws will cover every worker earning
800 a month or less.

not believe that the common sense
and shrewd discernment OF the Amer
lean intelligence will be cheated
through sentimental rhetoric into
mistaking Mr. Wilson as a safe guide
In times Of trouble simply because
we have not been precipltated by his
laundering into immediate military
hostilities.
There is but one way for us to keep
out OF war; that is by driving a
straight, consistent course with stout
hearts ready to meet any danger
steadily and with determination.
The highest value Of Col Roose-
velt's speech is that It challenges the
weak and foolish pacinsm OF this day
In America. II we yield to this fear
Of way by cringing before risk and
danger, as we have never done before,
hiding our weakness in haze OF the
Utopian rhetoric with which Mr.. Will
son has constantly tried to cover the
faults OF his policy, we shall 20 the
way which weakling nations have al
ways trod. We shall not keep peace.
We shall most certainly meet war.
We may postpone disaster n few years
but we shall be steadily preparing It..
Mr.. Wilson has given us false
peace A strong, foresight man, as
Mr.. Hughes has proved himself to be
in every public test, would have given
us true peace, the peace that is found
ed upon courageous assertion OF
right. determined obedience to
principle.
Our peace today is bitter in our
mouths, and over our ease there falls
the dark shadows Of dangers post
poned, not met and dealt with. The
election Of November Z will be not a
trial of Mr.. Wilson but trial Of the
insight and foresight Of the Amerl-
can people, Can there he any doubt
that they will once more prove them
selves as they have in all tho great
crises OF our history?
