Roosevelt and consider that he is
shouldering the greatest burden
worthily.
Il think that he will inevitably
play great part in the future, but
we have not asked for his interven-
ton in our problems, for we realize
that the burden is ours and we must
meet it.
I'VE have shouldered it against
the might of great empire during
these last % years and we have
not bowed down to superior might,
despite pains and penalties.
Takes Exception to Press.
1--WE propose to stand erect in the
future also, whatever happens.
I'VE realize that the achievement
of freedom for India, which we have
desired so passionately and worked
for these long years is our busi-
ness. If we are strong enough to
achieve it we shall do so-if not,
we shall fail"
Nehru took exception to some
American press comments on the
Indian situation, saying, Il can only
understand them on the basis of
American ignorance of conditions in
India. We have had long homilies
and patronizing advice as to what Is
good for us and what is not. There
has been sometimes an element of
threat On case we do not accept that
advice. The advice of friends Is
always welcome and worthy of con-
sideration, but we are not used to
patronage from any country or peo-
pie, and we do not shape our policy
on the basis of superior homilies or
threats"

pansion of urgently required serv-
ices would have to be shelved and
cited particularly the Importance
of a larger nurses aid and home
nursing training program in view of

Health Official Says
'CompuIsion' May
Be Used on Doctors
Charges Professional
Men Fail to Heed PIeos
From War Boom Towns

Charging that the meager re-
Sponse of doctors and dentists to an
urgent appeal for help in war boom
communities had created a "des-
perate" situation, Asst. Surg. Gen.
Joseph w. Mountin of the United
States Public Health Service warned
today that the Government may
have to resort to "compulsioA" to
place the professional men where
they are most needed.
The Public Health Service official
made this statement at the Fifth
National Conference of Govern
mental Industrial Hygienists today
with gloomy word picture of how
several communities, expanded by
dire straits because of lack of medi-
cal and dental care.
The assistant surgeon general did
not amplify the term ''compulsion, 4"
but this general idea has been a
principle against which the organ
lied medical profession has waged a
vigorous battle.
Earlier DR.. Thomas Parran, sur
geon general of the Public Health
Service, called on health and indus
trial hygiene experts from all parts
of the country for speed and eff
cheney" in protecting workers health.
During the few minutes I have
been speaking" DR.. Parran said
somewhere in America another
tank rolled off the assembly line,
another machine-gun barrel was
geared for action, another 'jeep' be-
gan its jolting test ride. Our job Is
to continue and increase that speed
and efficiency-to make sure that
healthy workers not only start them
rolling, but keep them rolling"
Integrates Health Services.
Pointing out that in the early
days of industrial hygiene occupa-
tional accident control was the fore
most interest, DR.. Parran explained
that more recently increasing en-
phasis had been placed on the con-
troll of occupational disease.
To-day we have not only contin-
ued and enlarged both these func-
tionS," he told the conference. but
we have also begun to integrate the
many other public health services
with industrial hygiene.
Nutrition, for example" he con-
tinued, "is almost literally the back
bone of vigorous health. and is gain
ing a larger share of the attention
it deserves in any thorough workers
health program. We have the
knowledge to provide medical, en-
gineering and chemical safeguards
of the health of every working man
and woman in the country. The
gap between our knowledge and its
complete application has become
narrower with each passing year.
Today, industrial hygiene has taken
its place as major part of this
Nations health program"
Weapon Against Enemies.
Capt. Watson B. Miller, assistant
administrator of the Federal Secur-
ity Agency, told the conference that
"the conservation of man power is
one of the most powerful weapons
We can level against our enemies"
Among other speakers at the
morning session were Charming R.
Dooley, chief of the Training Within
Industry Branch, Labor Division,
War Production Board; DR.. Clarence

mittee on Industrial Health and
