Charges of Foes.

Declaring that Group Health Asso-

wide interest, DR.. Kingsley Roberts
of New York, medical director of the
Bureau Of Cooperative Medicine, yes.
terday denied that group medicine de.
stroys the traditional relationship Of
doctor and patient.
Dr.. Roberts spoke twice, once by
radio and later at tho Agriculture
Department Auditorium, to a group
Of Government employees interested
in G. H. A. He surveyed the field Of
group practice similarly in both ad-
dresses.
Declaring 100000 Americans were
sick yesterday and 100000 will be
sick today. DR.. Roberts said a huge
percentage Of them will never see
doctor"
"All kinds Of diseases are taking a
terrific toll" he declared in his radio
address, 10000 Americans will die
from appendicitis this year. Many Of
them will die because they will not see
doctor until too late. We are vast
ing lives because of delay In prompt
medical treatment. delay which Is
inevitable under our fee system.
TT presents An economic barrier
against the receipt OF care at the most
favorable period.
The Group Health Association has
aroused great interest throughout the
country. Organized medicine les rat
ting the old family ghost Of socialized
medicine, which exists so far as I
know, only in Russia. 1t might better
study the many movements for group
practice throughout the country, and
see If this does not hold the answer to
our problem
Four principal arguments for CO.
operative system Of medicine were pre-
sented by Dr. Roberts They were:
l, wider distribution Of service, so that
all can receive adequate care; 2.
spreading the cost, so that there will be
no fear Of being plunged into debt for
medical bills; 3, improving the quality
Of medical service: 4. preventive medi-
cine as an integral part Of medical

franc to protect American business
men trading with France.

Change control in France.
Exchange control, he explained,
would make it difficult for American
business men to get paid for the goods
they sell to France In some countries
where exchange control exists. he said,
American merchants must take goods
instead Of dollars in payment for
goods.
