THEY AGREE 'IN PRINCIPLE"

Just about the time Great Britain, vigorously supported by France decided to send few men-of- into the Mediterranean after what has been reported "sea raider to be sunk sight Italy that she is willing to accept n principle the nine-power plan for the ant-pracy patrol She asks for "clarificaton of the which Italy trolso and few other things But the point is that she accedes "in principle"
 The remarkable thing about these threats abroad are the ease with which the European powers reach agreement when somebody gets really angry, Great Britain did this recent occasion, and gets almost ready to shoot It probably is the thing which prevents outright break of hostites in Europe. Each nation trots out its war machine, looks it in review and feels that it's pretty good Then some other nation stages a display such as Germany revealed at the week end in Nuremberg, with 600000 in attendance and the home guards do not look strong.
 It is the psychology of powerful display They feel warke but appears safer to agree in principle for yet awhile. How long such situation will prevail no one foretel but it's fine thing for the rest of the world that there still exists little fear of the other fellow.

A Public Remedy for Public Problem
Philadelphia Record)

Philadelphia Record)
 The major health problem today is no longer medical but economic and social
 Doctors don't know everything about human ills of but what they do know is all propor- on to the medical service actually received by the public At least 50 percent of American families are unable to pay for the medical attention they need
 The result is charity medicine for some, medi- cine at all for others To meet widely recognized need Senator Wag- ner proposes Federal health insurance measure as a part of the social security program
 Doubtless a howl will go up from organized medi- cine, whose spokesmen sincerely believe there is no need for a change in medical economics. But there is doctors should have the last word subject.
 Patients and prospective patients are, after all, entitled to voice in how their health shall be cared for
 There will be attempts to confuse the issue with cries of "socialized medicine" These be an swered by showing the parallel between the need for health insurance and the need for social security legislation now on the statute books
 In former times, the problems of unemployment and old age pauperism existed, but they were not too large to be cared for by private charity and by haphazard local public charity
 But economic and social changes have vastly en- larged these problems until even conservatives today admit the advisabiity of systematic Federal social insurance against the hazards of old age poverty and jobesSness
 
 meet contemporary problems of public health on the basis of the village doctor attitude Not the conspicuous philanthropy of the average physician cope with the disgraceful disparity between the medical service that should be available and the medical service actually performed.
 The lack of proper medical attention for millions with low incomes affects every one.
 Disease is respector of wealth, and infections that begin and spread because of lack of attention among the poor often carried into the homes ot the well-to-do.
 The public health is everybody's problem.
 For time it was hoped that organized medicine itself would find answer But that appears to be more and more hopeless dream If the safeguards of medicine to be extended they must be financed on public basis. while retaining the personal right of each patient to select his doctor
 III health is just much a social hazard employment Since it apparently cannot be taken of individual basis it should be included in social security legislation.

THE REMARKABLE MIR. COPELAND

The general theory is that Senator Royal S. Copeland is a candidate for Mayor of New York City. Yet his utterances from time to time would indicate that maybe after all he wants to be the Supreme Court bench, or perhaps candidate for President.
 With Hugo Black formally appointed to the vacan- cy on the court bench with approval of the Senate of which he is member New York's Copeland con- tinues to worry about Judge Blacks connection with the Ku Klux Klan and drags the subject into his paign speeches in New York
 This is the same Senator Copeland who a short time ago assailed President Roosevelt not voter not interested in what his private views may be Government in the United States is no longer democratic we have in the United States personal dictatorship if not political dictatorship"

 In other words, Japan is using the same formula to convince the Chin ese of the error of this way that was used by the western nations when China was opened to world investment and trade.
