the opponents reached three no-trump
he could hardly wait to double. He
opened the king of diamonds and
when declarer ducked, continued the
suit. Declarer won the third diamond
lead and played low club to dummy.
West ducked and the jack won the
trick. Declarer now played over to
his own ace of clubs and shot back q
low club, which West was forced to
win with the king. West now led the
nine Of spades, declarer winning with
the jack and promptly cashing his dia-
mond and two remaining clubs.
West was forced to make three dis.
cards. The first two were easy enough
the ten Of spades and the eight of
hearts. But on the third he was in
trouble and finally elected to throw
away the spade queen, whereupon de-
clarer played . low spade. knocking
out the ace, to make his contract.

Ito sickness Facts as to the costs and the ade-

and more recently by the National Health Survey
made by the U. S. Public Health Service. These
studies show high development in diagnostc and
therapeutic knowledge, with wide inequalities in
distribution of hospitals, diagnostc facilities and
nursing services, physicians and dentists.
The more we know about diseases and their
treatment the more serious becomes our obliga-
tion to make medical care and services available
where needed. Children are born without the
medical care that would have assured them sound
healthy bodies. Their mothers incur physical
handicaps that could have been prevented. made

entail unnecessary illness or physical incapacity.
Deferred medical service aggravates physical dis

to pay the costs.
For that five per cent of the population whose
incomes $4,000 and over) are adequate to pay for
medical services, there is medical problem.
Those whose income falls between $4,000 and
$3 900 can meet the costs of normal, short illness,

be staggering. 1t is impossible for the individual

PUBLIC CONTROL OF COAL INDUSTRY
BEGUN in GREAT BRITAIN

Eventual government ownership of Britain'S
monster coal industry is provided for in the bill
passed by the House of Commons and sent to the
House of Lords.
The bill provides for government purchase of
privately coal royalties and both voluntary
and compulsory amagamation Of collieries
Reliable statistics reveal that there are be-
tween 1000 and 5000 owners of royalty rights
The owners collect fee on each ton of coal pro-
duced. Some of the royalty rights are hundreds
of years old and are sold with the land. Owner
ship of royalty rights is, in effect, ownership of
the coal
The coal bill looks after the interests of the
royalty owners. They will be paid 4,43O,OOO
pounds sterling (about $22, ,00W a year fol-
fifteen years, a total of 645O,00O pounds (about
$685., ,25O OOO) for royalties and titles to visible
and undiscovered coal.
Payments to royalty owners, according to the
bill, will be made on the basis of valuation of
January l, 1889, with the government assuming
Ownership of the coal industry July 1, 1912
The government plans to borrow the money to
buy the royalties and about $50,0OOOO0 additional
for expenses, the loan to be repaid out of receipts
from mining leases to private companies.
In case there is a tendency to refrain from
voluntary amalgamation to the extent regarded
las desirable by the government the bill contains
Authority for compulsory amagamation through
the governments leasing power over the present

Some protection for the $4,000 British Goa
miners, who produce annually more than S4O.
100000 tons of COAL is held to be contained in the
leasing powers given the government, which car
be used to prevent exploitation of the workers.
Government reports indicate that the net an.
nual revenue of coal mines in Great Britain is
about $25 900, ,O00 from which about So 800 900 is

IN THE NEWS
! 4 i < < \ X < :. \ :: ). ).

Thomas Parran-accent the first
syllable, if you please-is not merely
in the news. He is in the sort of
news that stays, and makes history.
AS Surgeon General of the United
States at the present time, he had a
splendid chance for public service;
and he seized that chance with such
wit and is pressing it with such vigor
that he has become one Of the great
benefactors Of the American people.
A few personal notes before going
on with that line. DR.. Parran is not
quite 46 years old; about 5 feet, 10
inches tall, medium in build, with
brownish gray eyes, rugged features,
and retreating hair. He is married,
and has four sons. He was born on
farm near St. Leonard in southern
Maryland, where the first Parran who
came from England settled in 1850;
and the Parrans have raised tobacco
there from that day to this.
He went into the U. S. Public Health
service in 1916. He served there
ii years, oddly enough in IA states,
until in 1880 he became Commissioner
of Health in New York. Six years
later, he became Surgeon General of
the United States-and started the
crusade against syphilis by an article
in the Survey Graphic within three
months.
He is pressing that crusade harder
and harder as the months go by. He
is ideally fitted for such leadership by
training, experience, intellect, the
vigor of middle age, and the touch of
ruthlessness which leadership so often
needs. There will be lot less of this
internal disease in America when DR..
Parran gets through with it.

!: COMMENT ON WORLD
: EVENTS

The story of Secretary Hulls pro-
posal for further cooperation between
Canada and the United States is told
elswhere. Here, it is the purpose to
tell how two nations can live side by
side for more than century without
even so much as serious quarrel-if
they both want to do it.
The last hostilities on the United
States Canada frontier came in 1914.
For 124 years, the two nations have
lived side by side, with a common
frontier of more than 5000 miles.
| Part of this is natural frontier, the
fresh water seas of the Great Lakes,
with one river flowing into them and
one flowing out; but the major part
consists of lines on map and bound
ary marks on mountain, plain and
forest. And on that frontier,
There is not fort;
There is not a war ship;
There is not a garrison.
Two civilized democracies agreed to
get along together, and kept the
agreement. Can you imagine 124
years of peace without arms with a
Fascist or Nazi government on either
side of the line?

Hallett Abend, Chinese correspon-
dentof the New York Times, has been
almost the only newspaper man in
China who expected the japanese to
win a decisive victory. After long
careful trip through North China, Mr..
Abend, sending his story by hand to
Hong Kong to get by the censors,
takes it all back. Here are some ex-
cerpts from one of his recent dis
patches:
cit is idle to say that the japanese
have conquered many provinces. The
facts are that the Japanese mandate
rarely runs beyond the range Of the
Japanese guns"
Zone American said that the 16O-
mile train journey from Taiyuan .
to the junction of the Shansi and
Peiping- -Hankow railways took 10 days
because guerillas were constantly tear
ing up rails and destroying bridges"
"All traffic in this line (Peiping-
Hankow) was disrupted for six days
when three (Japanese) armored trains
were derailed," Abend continues.
"The japanese garrison in Paoting
retires at night within the barricaded
third of the walled part of the
city. Then the Communists enter the
rest of the city, fraternize with the
townfolk, purchase supplies, and go
from the walls before sunrise"
"Militarily, politically and econ
omically, there is grave danger that
Japan is becoming hopelessly begged
down in a vast morass of stubborn
Chinese refusal to admit military de-
feat"
The attorney for the japanese
prosecution, so to speak, has admitted
nearly everything that the Chinese de-
tense has claimed. The verdict of the
jury that only Time summons is hard
ly in doubt.

point a committee of seven members

origin and which attacks the principle
Of the form of government as guar
anteed by our Constitution;
SO. All other questions in relation
thereto that would aid Congress in any
necessary remedial legislation"
Although the relationships upheld
by Stain in the Soviet Union, Hitler in

olution. Representative Dies explain
ed that the Nazi, Fascist and Com

right to control the lives, the fortunes,

lac Justment Administration to buy surplus celery in
e Florida for relief distribution and to assist grow
full ers in salvaging portion of the surplus which
go cannot be moved into market channels outside of

Of ernment, it was believed the markets would be
aa glutted with celery and the prices consequently
be ~, slashed far below profitable points
Ke. The purpose of the purchase made clear
wit in the following statement by the Agricultural

foo 1t is interesting to note in this connection that
