to "socialized" state control of doctors or to
esocialized' state direction of professional
techniques, as those who cry wolf would
make one believe.
The type of progressive method advocated
by the Bureau of Cooperative Medicine,
would bring about a more adequate distribu-
ton of medical services along lines by no
means "socialized" or state controlled" By
the Bureaus method, which many groups
are already using successfully, numbers of
consumers join together to make periodic,
fixed, proponents for the medical services
of a group of physicians whom they have
employed to keep them we'll and to give them
regular medical attention when they need it.
Those familiar with the cooperative move
ment know that this medical program is the
middle way" with no implications of state
augmentation in it.
Actually, "socialized medicine" is prac-
ticed only in a socialized state. The coopera-
tive method is "socialized' only so far as
progress toward greater human welfare may
be called "socialized." If "socialized medi-
cine in the Russian sense is one of the many
methods suggested to reorganize the profess
sion, it is to be clearly differentiated from
other suggestions that would bring improve
ments through entirely different channels.
The scare-cry "socialized' should be choked
by an intelligent definition of terms, before it
paralyzes all steps toward needed changes in
the nations distribution of health.

War and Democracy
By DIR. CHARLES sTELzLE
Exeeutive Director, Good Neighbor lag

Executive Director, Good Neighbor League
Samuel Gompers repeatedly said to the
delegates attending the annual conventions
of the American Federation of Labor that
never again will the workers of America
90 out to shoot down their felloW-Workers
in other lands in order to satisfy the ambi-
tons of their rulers, no matter who they
may be-" And no part of his annual mes
sage met with heartier response than this
declaration against war.
Then came the World War, with its chal-
lenge to "save the world for Democracy
Few of us resisted this appeal. Gompers
himself did his 'bit" in that conflict. Organ
lied labor as a whole rallied to the call to
arms" because Democracy is one Of its fund
amental principles. And if it should ever
happen that our country was threatened by
any other power, the workers would again
come to the defense of the United States.
But-let no one be deceived by the illusion
that war makes for Democracy. The last
great war brought with it some of the worst
relationships in history.
If another war should arise, all the nations
engaging in it would Immediately be placed
in the hands of dictators, large and small
even in our own country. Democracy, in
many of our relationships and privileges,
would vanish. And after the war is over,
shreds of it may slowly reappear. In some
of the countries involved it would vanish
completely.
1t is possible that the object attained by
such a war might prove to be worth the sacri-
fee of our Democracy, but it is a question
whether any nation which engaged in the
World War won any particular or any perma-
nent advantages.
However, we are thinking about the sub
iect of Democracy-both during and after
war. That which Americans cherish above
everything else-coupled with Liberty
would receive some pretty hard jolts. There
fore, before we commit ourselves to war
any war-lets count the cost. Not simply
in the terms of lives and money, but in the
loss of Democracy.
Let's admit that some wars in the past
have won Democracy for the people. But let
us consider the whole question in the light
of the political and economic situation
throughout the world today. There never
was such a time. And then let's look back
over the last twenty years. 1t doesn't look
so good for Democracy, and we may be sure
that war will not improve it.

Should U. S. Traffic With L~awbreakers?

The policy of the government of the United
States, as decreed by Congress, is to protect
the right of American working people to
engage in collective bargaining through
unions of their choosing.
The National Labor Relations Act lays
down this policy, and under it collective bar
gaining has become established in most OF
the country's industries.
But there are still many large corporations
which refuse to obey the law, which refuse
to engage in collective bargaining with the
bona fde unions of their employees, and
which fight union organization with every
weapon at their disposal.
Surely it is the duty of the United States
government to crack down on these law
breakers. Certainly it should not encourage
them in any way to continue their lawless-
ness.
And yet the situation actually exists that
these law-defying corporations are receiving
federal funds and government business, de-
spite their violations of the labor act.
In a recent letter to Senator Wagner,
Chairman John L.. Lewis of the c.. I O. points
out that certain large corporations, like
Bethlehem Steel, Republic Steel, Weirton
Steel and the Electric Boat Co., dominated
by men like Grace, Girdler and Weir, enjoy
very profitable contracts from the United

Lewis says.
'These wholesale violations of a basic fed

insure that the government itself live up to
the spirit of the labor relations act, Senator
Wagner has introduced a bill IS. $1,000 which
requires that all beneficiaries of government
contracts, loans or grants must comply with
the National Labor Relations Act.
The passage of this bill is of first-rate i'm
~portance to organized labor and to all citi-
zens who believe that the government should
be the first to insist on law-observance in its
business dealings.

ices better adapted to the requirements of
the American public, need by no means lead
