7 said that In the last twenty
years movements for rhe prevention
Of certain Diseases had been growing
UP. 1t is only within six years thar
there was state law passed In the
United States that even approached
an adequate public health law. II is
now the best public health law in ex.
lstence. It was passed in New York
and was quickly followed by a similar
one in Massachusetts,, and since that
time by various other states. You
cannot do these things In day You
must first build up a mass OF public
opinion. Consequently such a move
ment is slow and there still remains
the necessity for stimulating by pri-
vate activity a realization of the OPP
portunity. a realization of all that can
be accomplished.
But in the building up OF all these
movements of all these private grow
ing we found that they became mex
tricably entangled. that there Ii
overlapping and fusion and waste.
You cannot get one or two or three
but you find dozen of these move
ments and so for the last ten years
| leaders in this field have been dream
ing of the possibility of co-ordinating
them. tuberculosis was not the one
great problem of the world it was
one side of the great problem of the
world. Infant mortality was not the
one great problem of the world, il
was one aspect OF. it, All of these
movements were simply different sides
OF the great problem of the improve
ment of health and the prevention OF
disease and misery. And so. say,
for ten years the leaders have been
trying to find a method Of bringing
these things together; of getting the
energy SO unitedSthat there would be
massed movement that would pro-
duce results We have never been
able to find the necessary co-ordinat-
ing agency. There was no public
agency that could do 1t. Then the
war came and accentuated the neces-
sity. We began to realize more dis
tinctly than we ever had before the
essential value to the country Of hav-
ing its vitality at the highest level. !.
What did Secretary Lane speak Of
yesterday? The great point Of his
discussion was the shocking fac. Of
the high percentage of unfit young
men in the very best years of~their
lives and that the problem Of America
had to face was to change the con-
ditions and make that sort Of thing
impossible.
I'VE have at last come to the point
OF realizing that this Is the great
problem we have to face The whole
world has realized it and now that the
war ended there appears, by reason
of the war. an organization that has
the power to do this thing which for
sears has needed to be done but
could not be done., That organization
