YELLOW FEVER STRIKES AGAIN

The annual report Of the Rockefeller
Foundation conveys the sad news that it
was in error in proclaiming the defeat of
yellow fever and presents darker picture
of the task ahead of medical science be-
fore the desired goal is attained.
Prior to 1929 the Foundation main
tanned that yellow fever had been prac-
tically eliminatedsas a human menace,
basing its belief upon the theory that the
disease was transmitted solely by the
Aedes aegypti mosquito and its attack up
on the destruction of the breeding place
of these insects. Then, says Raymond
Fosdick, President of the Foundation
without warning the South American
jungle struck and it was discovered that
an endemic type of yellow fever could oc.
cur and did occur in regions where these
mosquitoes did not exist.
Consequently the men of science are
now engaged in an effort to locate this
unknown source of the fever, having spent
nearly 100000 last year in search. Al
together. more than $6,OOO,00O has been
expended in the campaign against yellow
fever which began in 1915. =.
The Foundation is also conducting an
lIelaborate campaign for research and
demonstrations in malaria control. spend
ing $4,000 for the work last year. This
disease, also limited to tropical and sub
tropical climates, is still believed to be
caused by the Anopheles mosquito.
These are but examples of the great
work that the Foundation is doing in an
effort to make certain diseases preventable
and thus diminish the scourges of the
human race. Last year it spent alto
gether more than ST., 100000 in pros
ecuting its undertakings to promote the
well-being of mankind throughout the
world

"YOU CAN'T WIN"

Regardless of the particular activities
in which we engage, it is natural that we
should endeavor to look ahead, with a
view to estimating the returns which may
be expected.
Unfortunately, many do not look
ahead at all, or if they do they fail to heed
the warnings plentifully supplied by the
experiences of others. This is especially
true of those who decide to embark upon a
life of crime. f
Laying aside all moral considerations.
and estimating the rewards of criminal
solely In terms of money, health and COM
fort, it seems strange that any should try
to beat such desperate game. Yet thou
sands try it and fail. They fail whether
they are ever adequately punished by law
or not. The daily fear of detection and
punishment is often worse than punish
ment itself. For this reason, many Grim
inals give themselves up when they can no
longer stand the strain.
A criminal recently captured, charged
with a long list of daring crimes, speaks on
the subject with authority. He says: q
Il am 80 years old. began my career
of crime 10 years ago. Eight of those 10
years have spent in jails and peniten-
tiaries. | have been shot 13 times with
pistols, once with rifle and three times
with a shotgun. Ny left shoulder is shot
away. My left arm is paralyzed from the
elbow to the shoulder. One lung gone.
My body is SCARED from head to foot with
bullet wounds. And | say: You can't
win"

One might become enthusiastic over
the proposition to place the whole

AVIATION MOVES ALONG

One day last week twelve naval

as routine, from San Diego, Cal TO Homo

mainland to the island. 2,553. miles, in 21

Neither of these flights drew large
headlines because they are not considered
spectacular any longer. The public ex-

say that Inauguration of transatlantic

amaze the public on either side of the

You and Your
Nations Affairs
Reorganization Maybe
80 BY ERIK McKINLEYEHIkSSOCu ~
Assocsge Professor Of Hisiory, University Of Southern
s ~ ssFmsnB99F 81 California


, the past few years, agencies have
been created by the score. With the
increase in the number of agencies
there has also beensa rapid increase in
the personnel Of the Federal civil
service.
This increase in the number Of
agencies and personnel has added
enormously to the cost Of financing
the government. It must be admitted
that some Of these agencies have am-
ply justified their existence, but in
other cases it appears that organiza-
tions were created merely for the
purpose of making show of activity.
There has been great deal Of dupli-
cation and overlapping of functions
which has not been remedied, in spite
OF the fact that at least three co-or-
dinating agencies have been set up.
While the need for government re-
organization is apparent on every
hand. one would have to be an opti-
mist TO believe that anything substan-
tiai will be done. Promises of reor-
ganiZation are nothing new. In 1929
President Hoover sought from Con-
greSs power to reorganize the admin
istratiye agencies of the government.
Finally. in 1882, Congress granted him
the power TO proceed. subject, how
ever, to congressional approval. Ac-
eordingly. MIR. Hoover issued eleven
executive orders. calling for extensive
reorganizations, but his action was
nullified by the House of Representa-
tives, which disapproved his pro-
posals.
When Mr.. Roosevelt came into Of
fee he found on the statute books a
newly passed law giving him permis-
sion for two years to reorganize the
executive branch of the government.
Before this power expired. he issued
no less than forty-one executive or
ders. An examination Of these orders
forces one to the conclusion that MOTH
ing very important was accomplished.
No great economies were effected.
The efforts to bring about econo-
mics in governmental expenditures
through consultations and elimina-
ton of Federal agencies have demon
strated the difficulty of securing eff
fective action. Every Federal agency
has become a vested interest. History
has demonstrated that it is much
easier to create an agency than to
eliminate or curtail it. That is why we
have in this country what the late
James NJ. Beck called, Our Wonder
land Of Bureaucracy"

Even though the game be tough
And you are in tight.
