Turkey, which has pledged the
neutrality of the strategic Darda-

In his address Inonu said 1.-The
independence of the Balkan coun-
tries constitutes one of the funda-
mental bases upon which our policy
rests. In the same way as our hopes,
wishes and efforts have been con-
centrated with concern on the
preservation of their independence,
so our feelings remain unchanged
regarding the future of the Balkan

American Physicians
Ready for Emergency,
Army Surgeons Told
$4,000 Listed for
Immediate Duty,
Dr.. Abel Declares
BY tte Associated Press

BY tte Associated Press.
LOUISVILLE, KY, Nov Amer
ican physicians were declared today
to be organized and prepared for
an all-out military emergency.
DR.. Irwin Abel, a quiet, soft
spoken medical man who has been
president of both the Southern
Medical Association and the Ameri-
can Medical Association, told a
group of $50 military surgeons that
their knowledge and skill must be
at the disposal of the Government
at any time for any use which is
demanded.
More than $4,000 trained physi-
clans and surgeons are listed for
immediate duty when and where
needed. DR.. Abel declared. adding:
This is the first time in the his
tory of our country that an effort
has been made to obtain record OF
each individual physician based on
the character of his practice and
his qualifications" and as result
the medical accounting OF the Amer
lean Medical Association makes 1t
possible to furnish competent prac-
titioners for any specific job re-
quired by the Army or Navy.
This knowledge to the number OF
men available for military medical
service and their qualifications for
duty either in the armed forces or
in caring for men in industrial jobs
is vital to the defense Of America,
Dr. Abel declared.
In the present era of mechanized
warfare the maintenance Of the
health Of industrial workers is just
as important as the problem of
keeping men in fighting trim, he
said, "and no other factor associated
with the current campaigns has
been so forcibly impressed on our
public consciousness.
The Louisville physician. who
holds the rank of colonel in the
Medical Reserve Corps of the Army,
declared the loss of working time
by indispensable skilled craftsmen
must be regarded as wartime cas-
ualties equal in Importance to those
which occur in actual combat" since
at least II men are required to keep
one soldier on the firing line.

Turkish Mediation
Move Gets Chilly
British Reception
Refusal to Make Peace
With Hitler Continues
To Be English Policy
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, Nov. IA limited offer
of peace mediation broadcast from
Ankara by President Ismet Inonu
OF Turkey today drew chilly thanks
from Britons in high places.
Inonu told the Turkish Parlia-
ment in speech broadcast to the
nation that the country's joy would
be "unbounded" If it could one day
become the source of peace which
the world awaits and needs"
Authoritative British sources sale
they could not interpret Inonu's
meaning until they had received an
official text Of the broadcast, but
recalled Prime Minister Churchill's
statement that Great Britain would
never make peace with Hitler. That
was still the empires policy. they
added. and suggested if Inonu in
tended a peace mediation offer he
would have British thanks and Moth
ing more
Remarks Closely Scrutinized.
Nevertheless, Inonu's remarks
were known to be under close scrut-
my here by British who think they
may have been related to a recent
conference of leading Turkish gen.
erals with Adolf Hitler in Russia.
The British must reckon. too, with
their own peace movement. Only
today BritainS paciflst Duke of
Bedford said in an article in Peace
News" organ of the British Peace
Pledge Union" that it was neither
sensible nor right" to fight Hitler
without first trying to be friendly
with him.
Hitler, Bedford said, was IAN un-
tested man of mixed attributes with
whom it is neither sensible nor right
to quarrel until he has been tested
by the one test which to me is worth
anything-that of wise, practical,
genuine friendship"
Hitler's faults, Bedford added
"are completely understandable and
cause me no surprise whatever al
though their results may in some
cases be horrible"
A statue of the dukes grand
father was daubed with yellow paint
last Sunday night and placards de-
riding the present duke were hung
on it.
Opposition to Invasion Expected
British sources indicated the
1nonu speech was being studied also
in the light of Turkeys military
situation before German war ma
chine creeping toward the Caucasus.
Some OF these sources thought
Turkey saw herself menaced by
Germany but predicted she would
stoutly oppose any invasion.

Water Rates

and if the preliminary information
which is in the hands of>the COM
mittee at the present time can be
substantiated it is thought that
great savings can be made within
the department"
Free TO Government.
Mr.. Camalier. discussing the ques-
tion of dual control, explained that,
in general. the Water Department
handles distribution to the con-
sumers. while the Army Engineer
Corps brings the water to the Dis
trict line .and purifies it at the eX-
pense of the District taxpayers.
The Federal Government does
not pay for the water which it con-
Sumes." Mr.. Camalier continued.
Another anomalous situation is that
the District residents and taxpay-
ers have paid for the equipment
which is under the control of the
Army engineers, the taxpayers and
water users themselves having no
control of its operation. Such dual
control would indicate greater cost
to the residents of the District than
would independent control placed
under the jurisdiction of the District
Commissioners"

show the necessity for these i'm
provements.
Discussing conservation, Mr.. Ca
mailer said that while no figures
are yet available, ''it Is safe to say
that 100000 gallons of water per
day could be saved in the District
by proper conservation methods"
The statement expressed the be-
lief that such a survey is justified
lin order that there may be an ad-
juStment between the Federal and
District governments to account for
the 25 per cent of the local daily
consumption which goes into Fed
eral and municipal establishments,
and some accounting is due the citi-
zens of The District for this 25 per
cent"
Wants Figures Broken Down.
Mr.. Camalier said a glance at
recent figures show total consump-
ton of close to 4O.000,OOO 900 gallons
of water year. He said the survey
should show exactly how much goes
to residents, to the Federal Gov
ernment. to the municipal govern
ment and how much is unaccounted
| for.
The water system was begun in
the early days of Washington as a
Federal undertaking to supply Gov
ernment needs. Later the District
was made partner with the United
States in development of both the
supply and distribution systems. As
time went on the capital invest
ment of the local community, both
through general taxes and water
rates, far exceeded the Federal in
veStment.
Finally, the Federal Government
withdrew from all financial partici-
patton, and for a long period Of
years the entire cost of the water
service has been borne out of the
rates paid by private consumers.
Since the Water Department IS
financed directly out of water rates,
even the lump sum Federal payment
| toward general fund expenses OF
the city, does not figure in maintain
| ing the water service.

committee recently Senator Me-
Carran made it clear that he be-
heved in centralizing control over
municipal functions in the District
government wherever possible. and
Mr.. Camalier indicated that there
does not appear to be any necessity
for the Army engineers retaining
control over "a purely local munic-
ipal operation" He added he be-
lieved the records would show that
even the Army engineers would
approve of such transfer
