MEDICINE SHOW
lis INDICTMENT
OF A. M. A.

NEW YORK. = (FP) = Statistics
come to life in Medicine Show" a
new production at the New Yorker
theater With this burning indict
ment of the American Medical Assn,
the Living Newspaper group that was
so active in Federal Theater days re-
turned to Broadway under private
backing.
The plays single effort-and it sue.
ceeded-was to make facts, figures
and reports assume the qualities of
actual human misery they represent.
There was no pretense of plot Mar
rator Martin Gabel, as the statistician,
kept group of bewildered individuals
in gloomy dungeon where fear broke
their confidence and made them unite
in a common demand for an exit, a
solution for their problem
To illustrate his points,. Gabel
showed the prisoners sick people too
poor to afford treatment, and the d.
lemma of busy doctors who want to
help them but cannot. City hospitals
are too few and too crowded, while
rural areas are too far from doctors
or even worst hospitals. So millions
of Americans can't get the medical
care they desperately need, or, as the
authors put it, :. poor people are
twice as sick as the rich but they
get only half the care"
Every year there are 100000 pre-
ventable deaths in the U. S. and more
than 10000 mothers die in childbirth
for lack of adequate care These
facts became personal as a boy, a
mother and farmer died, while the
prisoners searched still more frantic
ally for a solution
Authors H. R. Hays and Oscar Saul
believe socialized medicine is the only
way out. They point bitterly to the
American Medical Assn, as saboteur
No. l in defeating Roosevelt's health
program in 1888. The organized doc
tors are accused of being selfish, mo-
nopolistic, and undemocratic, all in
the name of professional ethics"
Forceful writing, earnest acting, eff
fective staging and lighting combined
to sustain interest throughout "Medi-
cine Show" with the exception of an
unhappy attempt at fantasy in the
Alice in Wonderland interlude In
the cast, Dorothy Mcclure, Martin
Gabel and Norman Lloyd Gas the
Quack in a swell bit of comic relief
were all good.

pie of the globe during World war
No. 1. Why not? Weren't we build
ing a great nation and taking prece-
dence in this Price System world !?
But in doing so we upset Natures
equilibrium; we were, and still are,
working against the PHYSICAL
LAWS of science. We destroyed the
protecting KEY STONE of that equili-
brium: the great forests. Five-sixths
of our forests are now gone. Then
we broke and plowed up millions of
acres of grass land, so that the floods
and winds could really go to work
on them.
1t is now estimated that 1875 billion
pounds of plant fertility is eroded
from our Continent every year; which
is 81 times what it takes to raise our
crops. If we don't awaken and do
something about it, we will have a
barren desert between our coastal
ranges by another SO years.
We are trying to do something
about it, tits true; but under our
'set-up' we don't get far. First of all
the problem is one that is Continental
in scope and should be planned as a
whole. In fact such planning would
alter the entire scheme; and lack of
it will probably mean the failure of
our hodge podge methods. Why even
the different states quarrel over the
legal technicalities of states rights,
losing sight entirely of the main OBJ
ject of any Interstate project. And
the tax payers howl for economy, |
especially for long range detectives |
such as this must be. So it is fore |
gone conclusion that our political and |
limitations, under a Price |
System, will largely nullify our eff
'orts. The department of agriculture
has concluded, that: experience has
the classical doctrine that
private initiative and self interest can
)e depended upon to protect, adequate
y, the public need"
A pretty kettle of fish, our Price
system practices get us into another
ness, that threatens to destroy us;
nd the same Price System shows a
ed "stop light" to any way out. And
We call ourselves INTELLIGENT?
The scientist and technologist know
hat there is but one solution to such {
problem: find out THE FACTS, and
he PHYSICAL LAWS underlying {
hose FACTS; THEN get in step with '
hose PHYSICAL LAWS; LET THE &
HIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY.

connected with the erosion by water
that touches our pocketbooks; ant
that is: good many of us have hat
to deepen our wells these last few
years. The water tables, all over the
country have lowered considerably
due to two things: first, we don't gel
as much rain as we used to- and
second, it runs off instead of soak
| ing into the ground. These two items
and the lowered water table also eff
feet our crop yields tremendously;
hitting our pocketbooks again; so that
$66.67 is liable to be the small end
of our losses, when we really get down
to careful checking up on the way
nature, apparently, has gone haywire
lately. Just minute, now, before we
dismiss the subject by hanging it all
onto old mother nature That is just
the whole trouble with we humans,
these days; we pass the buck to ma
ture or the Almighty and go blithely
on our way trying to chisel in on some
one elses racket.
Let's use little ordinary horse
sense; in other words, let us look at
the record: THE FACTS. Before the
white man came to this Continent, old
mother nature had worked out re-
markedly balanced system, which COW
cred the vast agricultural area be-
tween the Appalachian and the Rocky
mountains, drained by the Mississippi
river. Extensive forests protected all
the headwaters from erosion and in
cidentally were primary cause of
local rains, as we'll as being wind
breaks. Also the prairies were cover
ed with grass and small vegetation,
which added to the soil protection.
Nature, you see, had worked out
sort of equilibrium, which made this
area a virgin land, rich
in agricultural resources. That equi-
librium is the certain result of PLY
SICAL LAWS and today the scientist
and technologist are crying out
to us to heed those PITY
SICAL LAWS or we will perish. Al
ready we are suffering, needlessly, be-
cause we have upset that equilibrium.
Who is to blame? No one in particu-
ar. 1t is just our system; our way
If life; but we will all be to blame
t we do not study way out of the
ness.
When our fathers and grandfathers

With them an economic system, the

This manual contains useful infor-
nation and practical guidance for
ministers, layworkers, church groups,
or church boards, interested in some
aspect OF the economic cooperative
movement and gives specific illustra-

DR.. Lands has done an excellent
and admirable job in compiling the
manual and has ably answered, under
the following sub-headings, the many
inquiries which have come in to the
committee from ministers and lay peo-
pie: Why the church interest in CO.
operatives? Types of co-operatives;
activities of ministers, church groups.
congregations; questions often asked
about co-operatives. The manual lists
Things an Individual Can Do" and
contains a directory of agencies, a
selected reference list of books and
pamphlets and collection of import
ant resolutions of church assemblies,
conferences and seminars, and lex
pressions of periodicals and individ-
uals throughout the country in regard
to the cooperative movement.
The manual brings together valua-
BILE information not available in any
other form and meets long felt need
for comprehensive document of this

SKETCHES
FROM LIFE
By JIM STRONG

Last night
l ate too much.
4
And in consequence
Lay awake
In the small hours
And thought
OF my uncertain job
And small savings
And the approach
Of old age
So that this morning
My nerves were shaky
And when my wife
Reminded me
OF something
should have done
And hadn't
But had remembered
Once more
In my sleepless hours
And intended to do
Today
Without being reminded
1t irritated me
To be reminded
And l was cross
And when / saw
The shadow
In her eyes
4
was ashamed
But wounded vanity
y
Made me pretend
Hurt feelings
At being nagged.
And I left home
Without kissing her.
And now I won't
See her till night
To tell her
That I'm sorry.
And the day is Swallowed,
And my only comfort
Is that no one else
Ever treats his wife
n
This way.
