there he has been cooperating with the

"a shorter working week to relieve unemployment.
 It is plain that the present unrest in Canada is more far-reaching and significant than any mere quibbling over a dollar more or less in pay or few hours more or less in working time during the week. Senator Gideon Robertson, Cana dian labor minister, declared re- gently that the strikes in Winnipeg and other Canadian cities are part of a general move to establish Soviet rule in Canada"
 This statement of the labor min- ister appears to be an exaggeration of the facts, as far as can be judged at this distance. Last year the labor situation in England was far worse than it is in Canada now
 The Big Four" threatened a strike that would have completely demoralized the whole country. Yet a right attitude of conciliation on the part of the British government settled affairs to the satisfaction of all concerned Employers and employees met and adopted resolu- tions which satisfied the workers and did not make impossible de- mands on the employers. Would it not be well for Canada if she fol- lowed the example of the mother country before this unrest grows into something far worse?

WAR AND MEDICINE

One Of the greatest victories of the war was the triumph of modern medicine in the control of acute infectious diseases, but even greate~ benefit will result from the fac. that the war also opened the eyes of the government. as well as the people, to the great inroal that chronic diseases are making n our national economy, Dr. Daavid R. Lyman said recently, at the annual meeting of the National Iuoer- culosis association, at Atlantic City. Dr. Lyman is president or the association.
 As result of the ravages Of the White Plague" among America's s manhood, startlingly revealed by the draft board records, Dr. Lyman predicted the immediate creation of a division of tuberculosis in the United States public health service. This, he said, undoubtedly would be followed by the establishment at Washington of a department pf health having equal rank with the other great activities of the gov ernment. instead of the nation 's health being considered of minor importance and cared for, as it is at present, as side issue oe the treasury department.
 With the records showing .nat nearly 100000 men were rejected for the National army, because suf- fering from suspected tuberculosis Dr. Lyman urged greater co-cpera- tion between public and private health authorities if proven able disease is not to hamper the ccun- try's development during the re- construction years.
 Government officials, as well as helath authorities from every state in the Union, are here to discuss plans for nationwide campaign against preventable disease.
 Dr. Charles J. Hatfield, manag- ing director of the National ass ,- citation, pointed out, that although tuberculosis causes 150,000 deaths annually in this coutry, the burden of the fight against the disease was being borne by voluntary asso- citations. Even their work, he said, is greatly handicapped by made quate laws.
 That the spread of tuberculosis
