Calls for Use Of Metric System
By PHYSICIANS and Pharmacists.

To the Editor Of The Star:
I note that the late Very Rev. Ze
Barney T. Phillips, chaplain of the Sen
ate and Dean OF Washington Cathedral,
Is found by a coroner's jury to have died
from an overdose of narcotic admins
tered from a prescription which had
been incorrectly filled by the pharmacist.
This raises an immediate demand that
the old apothecaries' system of weights
and measures for drug usage should be
discarded as not only obsolete but as
affording constant likelihood of similar
errors every time prescription is written
by physician or filled by a pharmacist.
When the writer graduated in medi-
cine some IS years ago, the apothecaries'
system was in almost universal use and
the so-called metric system was just
coming into vogue and used by a COM
paratively limited number of physicians.
Having memorized the medicinal doses
Of hundreds of drugs and pharmaceutical
preparations In the apothecary system
it was very difncult for the average ply
sician to carry in mind the metric equiv
alent; consequently when we went to
write q prescription in the metric sys-
TEN 1t was necessary to indulge each
time in mental gymnastics to effect
transposition of the apothecary dosage
into metric; and more than once prac-
ticing physicians have had alert phar-
macists call them on the phone to check
up as 10 exact dosage intended in pre-
scriptions; and still more often the
pharmacists have detected obvious errors
in transposition and make the necessary
corrections without bothering the ply
sician with his error.
Difficulties and dangers Of the dual
system could be eliminated by doing
away with the old apothecary system.
Then we would not be losing brilliant
and able citizens like the Rev. Ze Barney
Phillips, and able pharmacists would not
be grieving over such lamentable acci-
dents. In no time at all physicians
would think and prescribe entirely in the
metric system.

Commends Orders to Spare
Palace of Ruler of Japan.

To the Editor of The Star.
In the bombing of Toxic, the order
not to bomb the Emperor's palace showed
spiritual understanding and will make a
deeper impression and do more good than
"all burnt offerings"
When the people Of Japan, as well as
Of all the world, ponder these things,
they will begin to realize the strength
and the power and the majesty Of
righteousness-the spirit Of America.

Entered ~ second-class matter post ofacs,
Washington, D. C,
Member of the Associated Press
British Labor Policy

BY vote Of nearly fifteen to one,
the annual conference of the British
Labor party has voted down a pro-
posal to withdraw from the coalition
government headed by Winston
Churchill. The minority motion, in
dorsed by the Labor peer, Lord
Strabolgi, expressed vehement dis
satisfaction with the governments
conduct OF the war and advocated an
end OF the political truce which has
frozen" party politics in Britain for
"the duration."S This proposal was
vigorously combatted by Clement
Attlee, Laborite NJ P. and Dominions
Secretary in the Churchill Cabinet,
who declared that those who wished
to return to party strife, diverting
attention from winning the war, were
making "a big mistake" The gen.
eral sentiment of the conference was
undoubtedly voiced by its president,
Mr.. Green, who said that labor's
withdrawal would, under the present
circumstances, be unthinkable."
The outcome of this debate illus
trates two important aspects Of the
political situation in Britain. The
first of these is the essentially mod
crate attitude Of the Laborite ma
jority. The backbone of the British
Labor party is in the trade unions,
with total membership of over
100000. The average trade union
official is solid and rather cautious
career man, basically conservative in
outlook. The radical wing of the
Labor party comes mainly from its
"tntellectuals" and other elements
outside the trade unions. The ultra
radicals in Britain are mostly out
side the Labor party. They are Or
ganized in the independent labor and
Communist organizations.
Discipline is strict in the British
Labor party, as Is shown by the ex-
pulsion of Sir Stafford Cripps and
others who have refused to adhere to
its policies. The fact that a Laborite
with the standing Of Lord Strabolgi
should have advocated so vigorously
labor'S withdrawal from the war
coalition indicates the extent Of
popular restlessness over the govern
ment's conduct of the war. This
Laborite minority resolution should
be interpreted in the light of current
demonstrations like those just held
in Trafalgar Square and other
points in Britain. They seem to
have been engineered by Lord Bea-
verbrook's papers, which are cam
paigning for an immediate second
'front.' on the European continent to
aid Russia, and they had the obvious
backing of British Communists and
radical fellow travellers" Dissatis-
faction with the Churchill govern
ment has also been shown by the
election Of independent candidates
In recent by-elections on a platform
Of more vigorous war efforts.
The firm stand taken by the Labor
party assures the Churchill Cabinet
against any immediate danger in
Parliament. Nevertheless, currents
of discomfort are stirring the waters
Of British public opinion. Whether
these sporadic trends will grow and
coalesce into strong opposition
movement depends chiefly on the
course of events. Further disap-
pointments and setbacks for the
cause of the United Nations might
precipitate momentous consequences
in British politics.
