DFeGu VIII De StdSSefeu 10 learn Indt
in the British navy, which rules the
waves, the percentage of deaths due
to tuberculosis is double that among
the civil population.
More Disease in Service.
In the navy PIG per thousand men
suffer from the disease and the death
rate is "a per 1000, In the army the
figures are respectively 81 and IL
per thousand. The figures for the
civil population are 152 and IT per
thousand.
The number of tuberculosis cases
in the navy is all the more amazing in
view of the fact that the tests for
admission to the navy are extremely
severe, only one out of every 10 of
the would-be recruits are accepted.
Why tuberculosis?
Why is it that this dread disease is
rampant? Sir Bertram Falle M. P.
was compelled to admit in parliament
that the conditions under which men
had to live on board ship were con-
ducive to tuberculosis. 1t would be
interesting to find out the extent Of
tuberculosis among the officers. We
could then test the different effects
of cramped quarters and spacious
cabins.
Bad Food Factor.
Bad food is also factor. Medical
officers reports state that the great
~, :. ;o,.;tx, of naval s;ol,,,on. 80 H. -
stomach troubles and bad teeth.
The admiralty not only does moth
ing to stamp out tuberculosis, it also
does its best to get out of paying a
pension to men invalided out with
this complaint. Even such an high
officer as Rear-Admiral Beamish
says, that there is considerable dis
satisfaction in the navy with the man
ner in which invading out of the
service is conducted. An exceedingly
small proportion get either pension
or gratuity. Generally the Medical
Survey Board makes out that the I'M
fortunate victim had the complaint
before he joined up. Hundreds of
men, broken in health, are being
thrown on the stones without a penny
recently.
These facts were brought to light
in the house Of commons by the tory
M. P.'s representing ports. They are
only concerned with vote catching
and now having satisfied their con
sciences nothing more will be heard
from them. The labor M. P's are just
as bad or even worse. Last week,

when the naval estimates We're con-
sidered, they spent so much time adj
vising the generals and admirals how
to improve the technique of modern
warfare that they forgot all about
voicing the sailors grievances. In
fact the order which further limited
the political rights of sailors was is
sued by the labor government.
This order was a bad blow at the
lower deck for it is only by means
of political activity that bad condi-
tions can be changed.
That there is a growing demand in
the army and navy for full political
rights explains the small concession
in new regulation issued by the gov
eminent this week as follows:
(a) In the event of a parliament
tary election every facility should be
given to officers and soldiers to
record their votes.
(b) No political meetings are to
be allowed within barracks and with
in camps, nor is canvassing in quar-
ters to be allowed.
(c) Subject to (b) there should be
no restriction on officers and soldiers
attending political meetings in or out
of uniform, whether in the vicinity Of
their quarters or no, always provided
that the unit commander may use
his discretion to forbid officers or
soldiers to attend such meetings in
cases where he has reason to expect
that discipline may be prejudiced, or
urgent military duties interfered with.
In clause (a) the order says "That
the soldiers shall get every facility +"
In clauses OBJ and (c) the generals
take good care to withdraw the most
important facilities.
In view of the approaching general
election the Young Communist League
is intensifying the campaign for full
political rights for soldiers and sailors
on equal terms with the civilian pop
ulation.
Demands for ServiceVen.
In the Soldiers and Sailors Pro-
grammes" the Communist Youth puts
forward the following demand.
"The right to join political par
ties and to organize branches of
these parties in the army and navy,
and the right to attend political
meetings and demonstrations The
right of all men over the age of 81
to be elected to parliament and 9TH
er bodies.

l would like to tell you some news
here that might interest other sol
diers.
Last month SO soldiers from my
post, Fort Davis, were sent to the
Gorgas Hospitak here with ptomaine
poisoning. It is-the result of the bum
food We get down here, and wonder
if the people in the United States
could do something about it.
One of my buddies, Pvt. John j.
Schench, of the 18th Infantry, fine
young fellow, found conditions down
here so bad with no hope of getting
away that he put a bullet through his
brain. He had been down here for
four months-but in this hell hole
that seems like a lifetime.
We are not permitted to go to most
parts Of the cities in Panama, can not
wear civilian clothes, and must be in
bed before IL o'clock. Life in the
army anywhere is bad enough,
guess, but words can't describe this
place. Am trying to save money to
buy out and once away from this
place, no more seeing the world for
me-"

Now, I've got kick to make
against some of your articles. Some
of your writer's seem to think we are
enemies of the workers but that isn't
so. We have just one reason for be-
ing in the navy, and that is to get
three meals (however so poor) per
day and dry (sometimes) place to
sleep.
I don't think any of us would wish
tomfight against our fellow workers.
But can't say much for the work
we are doing at present-that of play
ing war to bluff the Chinese and Jap
anese into needing the demands of
our masters. We would refuse to do
that if someone was able to point the
way. Don't tellu what we are doing
but what we should do about it.

cur conditions here is just like con-
