advertising chief. Carter sends the
smoked variety-which the top
trenchermen rate as most expensive
of cocktail hour tidbits. Winter
raises his on his broad acres in
Maryland. In a like manner Lee
Olwell remembers friends yearly

himself. And then Major Bowes,
who shares the bounty of his weekly
radio food harvest among friends
and various hospitals. There is a
special truck used only for such
deliveries.
Those perky snack bars with
modernistic fronts, circular counters
and high ort-backed chairs,
French fashion, increase with the
recession. I notice one on lower
Lexington called place de la Con-
corde" which has the latest issues
of Paris Midi and Excelsior on
hand. Still another is tucked in
the basement Of an exclusive block
on the Gold Coast. They seem to
have only cocktail hour Ind night
cap trade. Indeed the wrong people
dropping in are discouraged.
Foot note of an eX-hero: I used
to be one of those intrepid AjaXes
who, during a storm, stood smart
aleek like at the open window
laughing, ha, ha, when the lightning
frolicked. But a few months ago

quarter of a mile away in Central

The question of socialized or state
controlled medicine is one which
comes up periodically, and with
increasing frequency in late years.
No one who has studied the
problem denies that many low in
come families are not receiving
proper medical care today because
there is no money to pay for it.
The question is how to remedy the
situation.
Advocates of state-controlled
medicine point to systems in effect
in several European countries and
contend that the government
should assume the burden of pro-
viding proper medical care for all
the people.
Various methods of Socializing
medicine have been proposed, all
of which have been opposed by the
medical profession generally. The
American Medical Association has
been severally criticized on its stand.
but physicians contend that state
control of medical service would
depreciate the quality of such
service, destroy initiative, inhibit
research and would not be suit
able to the American tempera-
ment.
Various plans of sickness insur-
ance, the profession claims, would
be unsatisfactory because of the
great burden of administrative
cost and probable political inter-
ference.
Physicians concede that the cost

The mayor of Three Rivers has a solution

presses in a communication. He would call all
Americans home from the Orient and send all
japanese in the United States back to Japan.
We saw a somewhat similar idea expressed
in a newspaper recently IL was to pass laws
in this country that nationals of every foreign
power be accorded the same treatment in Amer
lea that our nationals given in their coun-
tries. Such a scheme is of course too complex
TO be possible Of attainment even if so desired.
For the most part japanese living in the
United States are good citizens minding their
own business and interfering with no one. While
they offer stiff competition, especially in agri-
culture where their standards of living and
working result IN large production at low cost,
they loyal educating their children in our
schools, and adopting philosophy of gov

denunciation Of Japan's policy in China and
its treatment of our nationals and property
However, there are probably plenty of those
who feel the other way, because funds are being
raised among them to aid Japan in its conquest
Of China. Inevitably, too, there are numerous
spies here who are providing their mother

military value in the far chance that this

No Undesirable Aliens
In This Group

We have heard so much of undesir-
able aliens that it is a relief now and
then to consider another class of aliens.
That other class is made up of the peo-
pie, born in other lands, who give the
United States some of its best citizens.
Imperial Valley where there are many
of the undesirable ones, is fortunate in
one group, best represented on the men,

principally because it has expand
ed to a point where 1,250,000 persons
doctors, nurses, pharmacists,
dieticians, technicians,. and hospital
employes-are engaged in the task
of healing the sick. =
The ideal system in a democratic
country. they contend, would be
one in which citizens would be en-
couraged to save toward future
medical costs.
But because this objective OBJ
viously is impossible of immediate
attainment, the American Medical
Association has outlined course
of action which it says will solve
the problem without recourse to
any Socialization plan.
The associations board of trustees
has passed a resolution calling on
all state and county medical So
cieties to determine the need for
additional medical service in each
county and to report on the best
means Of supplying that need to
those unable to pay doctor bills.
