Money Asked
to Aid Fight

WASHINGTON, Sept. 6,-United
Press. FAVORABLE action on the res
olution to investigate the influenza
danger was predicted today by Sen
ator France, Maryland, chairman of
the Senate Committee on Public
Health and National Quarantine
which has the measure pending.
~ think the committees action will
be favorable" Senator France said,
although I imagine that there will
be objection to appropriating $5,000,-
900 for the purpose as called for in
the resolution. 1t probably will be
reported with smaller amount as
that seems a little larger than is
needed for a scientific investigation.
Senator France, himself a physi-
clan in Baltimore, Maryland, is fully
awake to the need of discovering pre-
ventives for the influenza epidemic
which swept the country last year
taking grim toll of over half-mil-
lion lives. Physicians are agreed that
until some way of combating such
a menace is found, public health is
unsafe and it is the governments
duty to aid thorough study in every
way.
Representative Fess, Ohio, author
of the house bill, which provides a ST.
100000 fund for the influenza inves-
tigation, said:
with no influenza in the country
today to any degree, Congress is apt
to think there is no need for imme-
diate action. But the fact is that all
medical authorities agree there is IL
able to be repetition of the epidemic
which caused ten times more deaths
in this country when it recently ap-
peared than the total losses of the
American Expeditionary Forces.
Congress would be guilty of gross
neglect if it did not provide for an in
vestigation of the causes of this dis
ease. That is the all important thing
we must discover first and it will re-
quire large appropriation to obtain
the services of the most noted
scientists.
"The cure can not be found, medi-
cal authorities tell us, until the cause
is ascertained, and the germ found
That has been the way cures of other
diseases, such as yellow fever, have
been found, after medical authorities
were baffled for some tine.
! Fess, who is one of the Republican
leaders, believes little difficulty viii
be encountered when the bill is finally
reported to the House, and he will
make every effort to secure for it g
place on the legislative calendar SC
that its enactment will be speedy.
+ Action should be taken, he believes
before the weatheS comes that en-.
courages the spread of the disease
and this point will be emphasized ir
the campaign to pass the appropria.

someone did not come to the. res
cue. Among this class are widows
without an income, women too old
to work and without dependable
relatives, old men in the same class,
cripples, and families who have
more than their share Of hard luck.
Each person or family listed for a
basket is carefully investigated by
Mrs. Salisbury or Mrs. Barnhart.
