THIRD TERM MENACE
(South Bend, ind, Tribune)

NoooIH Delu, IHO., IfIUuHeD
In giving the third term as one of its
reasons for supporting Willkie instead
of Roosevelt this year the New York
Times drew a distinction that calls for
some discussion. The Times did not as
sert that the nation would be endan-
gered merely if Mr.. Roosevelt or any
other president served three terms. 1t is
refusing to support the incumbent be-
cause he is campaigning for "consecu-
tive third term.
If Mr.. Roosevelt had permitted an
other democrat to be nominated for the
presidency this year and then returned
four or eight years hence as a third term
aSplrant the issue would have been much
less potent. The reason for that lies in
the political organization of this nation.
Ordinarily a president has great ad-
vantage over other ambitious men in his
party because he controls the patronage
system. To great extent the holders of
appointive offices in the federal system,
along with their close relatives, are de-
pendent on the president. Thus he has
a powerful political army at his personal
disposal.
Mr.. Roosevelt is the first president in
all American history to manipulate that
iob-holding army, much larger now than
ever before, so that no other presidential
aspirant in his own party had even an
outside chance.
The New York Times did not eXagger-
ate, then, when it stated that in this time
when the traditional safeguards of de-
mocracy are falling everywhere" the
United States can not afford to vest Mr.
Roosevelt with "the enormous powers of
the presidency" for three consecutive"
terms. The Roosevelt third term cam
paign, under current domestic and in
ternationa conditions, is the greatest
menace to democracy that has ever de-
veloped in this nation. Fortunately, it's
real nature can be recognized by any
voter who is willing to face the fact

EXPERTS TO COVER
WIDE AREA

What DR.. Gordon and other me-
dical men fear is a great spread
of such diseases as influenza, pneu-
monia and spinal meningitis in the
air raid areas. For one thing, epi-
denies always seem TO go with war
conditions. For another, the long
hours Britishers spend nightly in
damp, cold afraid shelters are
likely to bring on a wave of res
piratory ailments.
But nobody knows, yet just how
these things start. Do they begin
in army camps and spread thence
to civilian centers, or vice versa?
How much part does exposure play?
How much can be blamed on skim
py war rations? In what way can
epidemics be nipped in the bud
when air raids and other wartime
disorganization make ordinary
peacetime procedure impossible?
These are some of the questions
the Red Cross hopes to get an
swered. Doctors and technicians
from the hospital will fan out"
by motorized units, SO as to cover
an area within a 150-mile. radius.
The territory chosen for the hos
pital comprises some industrial CEN
tiers, a good bit of rural country and
a number of troop p-concentration
centers.
Reports will be made by DR..

The sins of others and the saintliness of
himself and his satellites would make up the
content of the papers in this country.
And SO, in sinful world, about the only
safeguard for liberty we have is the privilege
of watching each other.
And the man who values his democratic
right to punish bad government and penalize,
faltering business will fight for his right to
our kind of newspapers.
However, the bright side is that he wants
to reward good government and sound busi-
ness-and the same newspapers bring him
the list of saints also.

as much as we might, but we are
all in the same boat, and we'd
better work together"
Some such spirit undoubtedly lies
behind the latest Mexican action.
1t augurs we'll for better Mexican
American relations after the first
of the year, when presidents of
both countries will have been in
augurated, and both can turn from
the excitement of political cam
paigning to the task of creating
good-neighborliness and solidarity.

WASHINGTON, Oct. % Out OF
the agony of bomb-racked England,
the American Red Cross hopes to
get scientific information and work
out medical techniques which Will
save thousands of lives in this and
future wars.
On Dec. l a new American Red
Cross Harvard Hospital will be
opened in a town somewhere in
southern England.
Its immediate aim will be to give
medical care to BritiSherS stricken
by the epidemic diseases which are
almost certain to follow in the wake
Of extended aerial warfare.
Its long-range aim will be TO
find out how those epidemics start,
what can be done to head them OIL
and how America can preserve Its
own health if war ever comes TO
American shores.
HOSPITAL NOW
BEING SHIPPED
Head of the hospital will be DR..
John B. Gordon, professor of pre-
ventive medicine and epidemiolOgy
at the Harvard Medical School, A
staff of about 20 doctors and tech
biological experts will go with him
from Harvard, while so Red Cross
nurses will go overseas under the
direction of Miss Patience L. Clarke
of Detroit
Tne hospital itself is now being
shipped over in prefabricated sec
tions-four-foo panels of celotex
encaSed in an asbestos mixture
which takes a hard, glazed sur
face. These are erected on steel
frames. In all, the hospital will
comprise 20 units and will contain
100 beds.
Designing a hospital for opera
ton in air raid areas led to some
special problems. DR.. Gordon re-
Gently came back from a prelim-
mary survey of English hospitals
to report that the worst danger
hospital patients suffer in an air
raid is from flying glass fragments
of shattered windows. Windows for
this hospital, accordingly, won't
have glass panes. Instead, they're
getting sheets of celloglass, trans
parent, non shattering Dupont
plastic.
Ventilation is another problem.
since all windows must be closed
and curtailed at night. A COM
plete conditioning unit must
be installed, with filters between
each room to prevent the spread
of contagion from one ward to an
other.

Here in America we do a very good JOB OF
watching each other. Let public official err
and his sins are promptly pointed out by his
opponents. Let citizen do good or a bad
deed and, if it touches our lives, it is duly
recorded.
And if merchant or manufacturer has
a good product, he proudly tells us. If he
hasnta good product, you can depend on it,
his competitors will lose no time in getting
their own advantages spread around.
