CHICAGO, Feb. 18.-Wheat fu-
lures prices turned upward again
today after having dropped to the
lowest levels in five months for the
May contract yesterday. Prices see
sawed over a moderate range, and
at one stage both wheat and corn
established new seasonal lows for the
September contract. Both corn and
wheat closed at or near the best
levels of the day.
Final quotations showed a steady
to firm tone under what appeared to
be short covering and some mill buy

Mexico Keeps Close Tab
On Axis Nationals
By the Associated Press.

MEXICO CITY. Dec. 22.-Axis
nationals in general and Germans
in particular have been put under
close surveillance In Mexico as an
upshot Of Washington revelations
that many of their number are
engaged in suspicious activities
throughout Latin America, 1t was
learned today.
The government itself has paved
the way for putting fifth columnists
away through recently enacted leg
islation providing long prison terms
for those guilty of espionage and
anti-Democratic propaganda.

land and with 1t there will arise, I
think, closer cooperation between
the great voluntary hospitals of the
country, most of which are to be
found in London, and the munich
pal hospital service, which had real
ly grown out of the old poor law
hospitals which were originally in
tended for people who could not
afford to pay for sick treatment.
The voluntary hospitals are the
only ones in which at present medi-
cal students can be received for
their clinical and indeed for the
whole OF their practical training.
Presently, as I see conditions
shaping, the whole hospital admin
1stration in this country in so far
as it concerns the central govern
ment will be brought under one
authority, probably the Ministry of
Health, working in close association
with the municipalities and the VOL
untary hospitals.
Like most things In England, the
service OF the sick has developed
plecemeal and, as far as peacetime
conditions are concerned, Is still In
the hands of many people.
For instance, the department pri-

am looking forward with interest
to the debates which will certainly
arise between municipalities and the
central government on the money
side Of the governments plan. So
far the central government has not
contributed anything to the coun-
try's hospital expenses. Any such
contribution would imply a measure
of supervision and it remains to be
seen how far the municipalities and
the voluntary hospitals will care to
accept guidance and advice from
Whitehall.
